Washington, Fob. 3. For more than Ave hours today the senate listened to argument In opposition to expansion and In opposition to the rutlllcution of the tteaty of peace. Tho speakers wcto Mr Money (Miss.) ud Mr. Daniel (V.i ) The founer's i.ddtrss 'was torn paiatlvely luief, as it did not enter Into the (institutional phases of tho question. He vigoiously antagonized the iittiticatloii of the treaty, holding that hv such action tho Filipinos would he admitted to the t'nlon as citizens, and that If tin v vvimu not capable of Heir-goveninient.we did not want them. Mr, Daniel made an exhaustive argu ment, In vlik h he coveied all the points In controvers. His speech was a bril liant oratoileal effort: his picture of the situation in the Philippines and His peroiatlon, In which he appealed to his colleagues not to depait from the history and tiadltions of the American nation weio beautiful specimens of eloquent Knsllsh. His speech received the fateful attention of senators and manv audltois In tlie galleries and at Its conclusion ho was applauded w armly. Mr Monev denied that the battle of Man'la .as in any way necepsaiy He told how Agulnaldo had offered his s-ervkea to the Tnltcd States ofnclals. and then paid a high tilbute to tho Filipino leniler.carnestly defending him against the charges that hail beenmado against him Mr Money claimed that as soon as t'o treaty should bo rati fied every one of the inhabitants of the Phlllppltus . ill become citizens of the United States not entitled to ote, but ftlll citizens undei the constitution. He had faith In the American people, he wild but this treaty was not to be passed unon by them. It was to bo voted upon by the senate, and ho had ti deal more lonfldcnce in the people than he had In the senate. He hnd understood, lie said, that the president and his tablnet were awaiting only tho adjournment of congress to arrange a gov eminent for the Philippines. He suggested that If the treaty were de feated an airangement could le made with Spain by which she would evacu ate the Philippines and turn them over to their Inhabitants Who will object? Spain would not, the Filipinos would not and Km ope would not. On the contrary, he declaied, if the treaty he ratified we shall have already em barked on another, in the course of which thousands of our young men would leave their bones lving In the Jungles of tho island of Luzon. Mil, DANIEL'S SPEECH. Mr. Daniel said: 1 do not believe the body of the Ameri can people understand tho slgnincincs of this treaty. I do not believe that some semUois who aie civlng to us to ri tlfy tho treat) understand it. The treaty fixes the policy of tho government. What rua be dri c attciwaids is merely clur lcl detail The treaty Is a thoroughfare ovei which S 000,000 of American citizens will mnich Into this Union. It Is a mar lago of nations Hencofoilh and forove ho Filipinos and Americans will bo one. I trust yet before tho marriage la con summated the spirit of American consti tutional liberty will arls-o and forbid tho banns What is their relallrn to us that we should set forth knight like with lancu In rest to rescue them? Wo cannot turn them back to Spain. Tho American roo ple cannot so treat those who were com rades on tho field of lutttlc. They have not v et attnli ed the dlgi Ity and power sf n nation. We cannot recognlzo the rillplno republic and como nwny from tho islands. Wo have only to look skvward to see the bhds of proy circling about, ready to descent upon those who aie weak. What next' Tho face of the treaty tells us, let us treat tho Filipinos as we tuvit Cubans. As now In military occupation of tho Island. Let us lemaln in military occupation until we havo assisted them Rlth kindly olllcos and force of arms IT necettary until they have established null a covin ment as destiny may iuuc fitted them fin. Mi Danid also attacked the plan of acquisition as unwlso strategically. A sepai ate nay would he necessary nnd wo should have to fortify each of the 1,200 hluiids This menus millions upon millions of espouse and an eia of mili tarism toi the 1'nlted States. He had never expected to be tailed upon to de fend the deelmatlon of independence In this hull, but he felt bound to do so now In the course of that defense ho said the declaration of Independence hnd done more to mould American in stitutions nnd to swing back our nf fnlis when they went wrong than any other American utterances. NO OBJECTION TO PORTO RICO Mr. Daniel defended the taking and Holding of Poito Rico, which he held ton one of the natural outposts of this country. Fuither along1 ho declaied It wut not a question of hauling down the Ameri ran Hag. That ijng was not a tlxtmo In the Philippines, Onco tho treaty Is intilled, however, the A mot Iran flag itaff would sink to the center of the urth In thosa Islands, nnd the Stars, ts they bi&ke to the bieeze, would rise an til they mingled with tho stars of heaven. Peace Is In this treaty." continued M Daniel, "thut Is a jileusing term to conjure with, hut nre our friends who fnvor this treaty certain it means peace?" Mr. Daniel urged tho senate not to deceive Itself or attempt to deceive the American people about tho trcnty. Its ratification, ho declared, meant the utter destruction of all tariff laws be tween us nnd tho Filipinos; tho re structlon of alt immigration laws re lating to the United States nnd tho 'Philippines and accorded to the Asiat ics, NegtltoB, Malays and other inhab itants of tho Islands the right to come into the labor markets of the United States on exactly the same footing and under the same protection as those en joyed by American worklngmen. PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS. Mr. Daniel, after reviewing the kind of people to be found In the Philip pines, said: There are not nlone the Filipinos, but the Negritos, Malay nnd all tho conw- tenatloual of hues and colors, Tlioio are ptoplo black and white, blue, brown and gin. There are oven spotted people an 1 n kind that I never beforo Ik aid of striped At tho i lose of a ilghteons and gloilous war wo are to tako them In and ordain Ilium with thn oil of American citizenship. Not In a. thousand cars, thought Mr. Daniel, could we rnl-e 'ho Filipinos to the level of this cmintiv citi zenship. At tho moment the tteaty was ratlllrd the historian would ehronlclo the beginning of the dicllno of tho greatness or America. This country stands todav tho loiemost nation of the world. Let her tread with sure and steady steps along her own hlghwajs respecting nuistir and nun. Let her to tho tempter of e.Npans'jy lo dnv say as He who stood upon thoimnit whin tho glories of tho earth wero stretched beforo Him: "Get theo be hind Me, Satan." At the conclusion of Mr. Daniel's speech tho benate wont Into executive session and soon afterwards adjourned. CGNTF.ST IN THE VOTE. The conttoveisy In the senate over the vote upon tho various resolutions lnterpietlve of tho peace trcnty, took un acute turn late today. The opposition to a voto (list cam" from the friends of the treaty who held to the theory that it could be i at Mod without compromise. Those who ap parently wero then willing that a vote should be taken today held an opposite view and absolutely refused to agree to a time for taking a vote. The contest occuned In the executive session which did not occur until a quarter past o'clock. The next hour nnd a quurter was spent In a vain en deavor on the one side to get an agree ment to a date for a vote upon the resolutions nnd on the other In a moie successful effort to bring the day's ses sion to a close without allowing any thing to bo nci ompllshed In thnt direc tion. The gallerj doors had no sooner been locked than Senator Davis, who had token his position In Senator Frye'.s seat. Immediately In fiont of the chair, prefened the tequest of the tieaty sup porters for unanimous consent, nam ing tomonow as the day for a vote. He said that the deslie on his side of the chamber was that there should be on opportunity to vote upon all tlu resolutions of a declaratory nature, all of which had been offered by Senators who wero opposed to the treaty with out n modification. OPPOSITION PREPARED. The opposition wero prepared for the request, but it did not fnil to create some excitement. Simultaneously ob- jee-tlon was made from tluee or four, souices, but, as If by common consent, to Senator Gorman was left tho task of making the principal statement of , tVio rfmenno far tVin mmrtditlnn. 1 ninln objection was based upon the j Whereas. Tho clti of Hanibburg is b.ief time that must Inteivene between fCor.o'n8 !& "5 the time of taking the vote on tho the COnviction of i-n member of tho Jeg resolutlons and tho time fixed for vot- 1 isinture guilty of accepting money con ing on the treaty, 3 o'clock next Mon- sldcratlon for his vote, and day. An essential part of the demand ' Whereas, We, as member of the hcuso of those who desired a modification of I of representatives of tho Keystone state, the expression on the tteaty was that 1 knowing that the guilty man is not In this the house as well as the senate must I bran?h " ?WZ x s, ""' c,f0.rn0 u: . ., ,...i ,,.. ,. people ana the rest of mankind in our act upon the resolution. Manifestly it HJ ht as oneh.t me( tnorcfore was too late to secure a vote bv tho j Resolved. That this houso appoint a house, even if the action of the fenate . committeo of nlno to be composed equnl should be favorable. Hence the ab- iv 0f Republicans, Independents and Dcm surdity ot the proposition. He for one I ocrats to consider tho best means of ob- would object, and he hnd no doubt that others would feel as he did. Senator Cockrcll gave notice that he would re sist any effort for a vote upon tho resolutions up to 2 o'clock Monday, when the vote on the treaty must be taken. Tho friends of the treaty declared thnt they wero acting in perfect good faith. They charged that the opposi tion were afraid to allow an opportu nity to vote on the resolutions be cause of their apprehension that some of the resolutions would be agreed to and the chances of the ratification of the treat thus improved. This meant, as they tegarded it, that they did not want any treaty tatiflod. The objec tors stood firm, however, to the last, refusing to !eld. The supporters of the treaty still count confidently upon having a leuulsito number of votes when the time conies, eveja though no modifying1 tesolutlon be ndopted, FILIPINO JUNTA BECOMING SAUCY A Statement Is Issued at Hong Kong in Which Americans Are Accused of Oppressing the Natives Hong Kong, Feb 3.

Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Hanlsburg, Pa Feb. 3. The friends of Senator Quay ate elated tonight on account of tho disclosures made dur ing the day in connection with tho contest In Lebanon county for Goneril Gobin's seat In the state Benate. Depo sitions have been made showing thi't the offers of reward for tho detection of bilbery made by the nntl-Quay cle ment are hypocritical to an amazing degree, and that the lcadcts in tho alleged political lefoun movement ate neither consistent nor slnicic. Sen i tor Quav's lieutenants think tho Leb anon exposures will undoubtedly opei ate In his Intctcst, thnt they will re veal the true character of the men who are at this time advocating polit ical purity, and that In flhott the revel ations will give impetus to the wave of disgust that has been sweeping across the state since the position of the bolting Republicans vns well de llued. Attorney Geneial Elkln, who is heie tonight, has no fear of the result. He has received bushels of letters during the past few weeks representing Re publicanism In every corner of the com monwealth and testifying to the esteem in which Senator Quay Is held by all Republicans who are loal to their party and tespeet its principles.

ALL DUH TO SUGAR. Ho said it was a scheme of tho sugar trust and that it was a factious mis take for this country to aid tho trust by tho adoption ot such a policy. He declared the records of deaths In tho Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers would create a revulsion of public sentiment on this question. Mr. Baldwin, of Delaware, spoke for the resolution and In favor of the pres ldent's policy on the expansion ques tion. Mr. McClaln, of Lancaster, said ho had an abiding faith In the president and urged tho pasago of tho resolu tion. Mr. Creasy demanded n division of tho question on the clause affirming the right of sovereignty over the Phil ippine Islands. The expansionists won by a voto of C6 to U.

SCHEME TO TAX THE FREIGHT LINES INTRODUCED BY SENATOR NEEDY, OF CLARION. Govornor Stono Expected to Tako Caro of tho Hold-Over Officials. A Magnificent Capitol Building for Pennsylvania Colonel Guflby's Dreams Are Fraught with Anx iety. Special to the Scranton Tiibune. Hurrlsburg, Pa.. Feb. 3. The resolu tion introduced by Senator Neeby, of clarion, having for Its object the taxa- tlon of "fast freight lines," which up to this time have been paying nothing toward the expenses of tho state is attracting a great deal of attention on enpltol hill. If it be found that these linen ate taxable subjects theie is no uoubt tne bcnellt to bo deilvcd by the commonwealth will bo enoimous; but It Is the opinion of some well Informed people that ordinary partnershlps.such us the freight lines are held to be, aro not subject to the tax laws of tho state. It ts fuither contended that mnnv of tho lines designated in tho Neebv resolution have cither been lneigid or Iuimi been out of cxlstonco for many ycais, nnd If the contention bo corieet tho advocates of the reso lution evidently are unfamiliar with such matteis. The fact stands, how ever, that the state needs additional lovonue nnd needs it badly, and it ap pears to be the manifest duty of the men who are leady to vote away money to tlrst see to the enactment of such legislation as will enlarge Pennsyl vania's bank account. While it Is the evident Intention of Governor Stone to provide places for as many people as he can consistently accommodate It is the opinion of those close to him that he will exeiclse all the regard possible for hold-over ofll clals who have conspicuously impioved the departments under their care. Ono of these Is Major William F. Rlchiud- son, of Schuylkill county, the puper- intendent of the state arsenal. Major Richaidon is not only thoroughly fa- miliar with the minute details of mltl- tnry matters but displays keen husl- inr.uu iu,ln-i..f i,. n... ..,...,... jun.u un uaiihsivu muic win lesiuy to me wisuom or those who inaugu rated the plan by demonstrating that the commonwealth Is saving consider able money nnd that the guard equip ments are of a vety superior kind. THE NEW CAPITOL. It is the general belief that Pennsyl vania will eventually have a magnifi cent capltol building a structure, In deed, that will be an honor to this great state nnd a credit to those whose duty it will be tc wipleto the work. It is held by thi." of a statistical turn of mind that all prosperous states have splendid capltols, or in other words, that these buildings In a meas ure Indicate the financial standing ot the commonwealth. Instances are cited showing that those statce that are without the resources associated with prosperity are also without capltol buildings of substantial ox beautiful consti notion. The action of Captain Has.son, of Venango county. In intro ducing a bill appropriating at least $2 500,000 for the completion of the pres ent structure, shows that even tho re form legislators aie not averse to an expenditure that will insure a build ing In keeping with Pennsylvania's pos ition among her sister states. Colonel J. M. Guffey was here a few days this week keeping the Democratic forces Intact, Tho colonel Is fearful that he will wake up some morning and discover that his faithful have become tired of playing "hobby horse,'" as Captain Skinner tersely expresses it, and are desirous of shitting posi tion. Guffey means well, but his best friends will tell you that his knowl edge of politics Is quite limited. His vision is certainly not fnr reaching, else it would ho plain to him that his mortinal enemies ate doing an exten sive gold-brlek business with his polit ical capital. Manv of those who pio fess admiration for the colonel have largo and glittering knives concealed up their sleeves with which they will proceed to carve him Just as soon as their ends In connection with tho sena torial contest shall have been accom plished.
