By i:cliiiivc Who from tlio A.uil.itcd Preji. Washington, Fob. 11. A stirring dc lmteon (he general Philippines question was precipitated in the senate lute to day, the prlneipnl pariictiauts being Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, and Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts. Mr. Teller, of Colorado, bad conclude!) for the day Ills argument against the enactment of the pending Philippine tariff bill. In response to some statement he had made. Mr. I'latt, directed the senate's attention to tbe situation In the isl ands, as be viewed It, saying that great progress, was being made- by tbe gov ernment in subduing the Insurrection. He referred to the elections for muni cipal olilcets in various cities of the Islands, and to the establishment of schools for the education of Filipino children. Mr. Hoar ridiculed tbe state ments of Mr. Piatt and in a facetious vein adverted to tbe efforts of the American government to control the Filipino people. The remarks of the Massachusetts senator aroused Mr. Piatt, who de livered a notable speech, in the course of which he referred to Mr. Hoar in pretty sharp terms. His speech was listened to by senators on both sides of the chamber with profound atten tion. In conclusion he paid an elo quent tribute to the efforts of the United States to carry the principles of free government to every territory where it had control. In his reply Mr. Hoar delivered an incisive criticism of the action of the Philippine commission, declaring that he had been taught to judge men rath er by their action than by their words, and by this standard he could' not judge tbe Philippine commissioners with any degree of favor. Early in the day the senate passed u joint resolution submitting a constitu tional amendment changing the time of presidential inaugurations and the termination and commencement of con gresses from the 4th of March to the last Thursday In April. Mr. Carmack's Resolution. Senator Cnrmnck today introduced the following Joint resolution: "That the United States regard with extreme disfavor any movement hav ing for Its object the early or ultimate admission of the Philippine islands as a state or states of tbe union; and any action on the pari of tho persons hold ing oflice under the authority of the I'nlted States that gives sanction or encouragement to such u movement Is hereby condemned. That to confer the lights and privileges of citizens upon the inhabitants of the Philippine Is lands would tend to destroy the Integ rity of citizenship and to degrade the character of the government of the I'nlted States." Tho Oleo Amendments. The voting on amendments to tho oleomargarine bill in the house today indicated u considerable change of sentiment since last congress, when thu bill had IOC majority and that the op position to tlie measure has gained strength. While passage of the bill is not endangered, It Is not likely that the majority tomorrow, when the Html' vote Is taken will exceed 20. The op position toiuy was strong enough in committee of the whole to adopt two Important amendments, one providing that nothing In the net should be con strued to prevent the manufacture of and sale of oleomargarine In any stnto for consumption entirely within such state, and tho other to provldo for the Inspection and branding of renovated or process butter. The latter amend ment was especially obnoxious to the friends of the measure and when the bill was reported to the house a sep arate voto was demanded on It. That vote was pending wlyn tho bouse ad journed, Although the amendment commanded n majority of UO In committee of the whole, where no record Is made, It Is not unlikely Unit tlie action of the com mittee will bo reversed tomorrow, when members are obliged to go on record. Several committee amendments adopt ed today, changed tho phraseology of the bill, tho most important being one limiting tho 10 cents tax made to ap ply to oleomargarine made in Imita tion of but lei', "of any shade of yel low," Considerable feeling was Inter jected Into the proceeding towntd tho close of the session.

' By Kiclmbs Wire from The Associated I're.. Washington, Feb. 11, In view 'of tho statements and contradictions, more or less official in character, coming from the principal European capitals re specting tlie attitude of the powers In dividually toward the United States Just preceding the Spanish-American war, the officials hete feel a. natural reluctance to being drawn Into the con troversy, and It is with dlfllculty that even unofllclal statements can be btut on this subject. One fact remains uncontroverted, namely, that the European ambassa dors and ministers here called upon President' McKlnley, April 7, 1S9S, in tho effort to prevent war. The matter now in controversy is what happened after that call and the tiuestlon nt Issue Is, ns presented in tho latest phase In the European dis patches, Did Lord Piuincefote under take to secure the support of the other European powers in an attempt at forclbl" restraint upon the United States'.' Sifting all the facts, the con clusion reached hero Is that Lord Piuinoofote's activities In the direction of Intervention has been generally mis understood, Jt is known that the Aus trian minister was untiring In his er forts In behalf of Spain. The I'nlted States government has never cherished tlie least ill-feeling on that score, re alizing that the blood ties between thu Austrian and Spanish reigning houses sufficiently excused such an attitude. In the course of these efforts, Mr. Hen gelmuller turned to Lord Pauncefote, as dean of the corps, and sought to have him, ns such dean, see what measure of support could be secured for another and more forcible, repre sentation to the United States as to the undeslrablllty of war. Lord Paunce fote was confident that no such propo sition would carry, but he yielded so far to the application of the Austrian minister as to submit his proposition to the other representatives of the Euro pean powers. The result justified Lord Pauncofote's judgment of the outcome and It probably was the inquiries he made in this proceeding, anil not any proposition originating with himself, that led to reports of ministers and ambassadors here to the European chancellories. When I net ii ley was made at the Brit ish embassy 'today relative to the re cent dispatches purporting "to give tlie action of Lord Pauncefote, just prior to the outbreak of the Spanish war, the ambassador sent word that there was absolutely nothing to bo said by hlni for publication. It is understood that if there Is any occasion for Lord Pauncefote taking cognizance of the controversy he will communicate di rectly with the London foreign office, which will determine upon nny publlo utterances to be made. Moteover, there is reason to believe that the foreign office Is already In possession of all the papers bearing on the Interchange on the Spanish war, and that nothing which could now be submitted would alter the situation as. heretofore laid before the British authorities.

SUSPENSE WILL BE OVER IN NEXT 36 HOURS Wltllc Reports Issued Through Mr. Cortelyou Run Between Hope and Fear, Both the President and Mrs. Roosevelt Eeel Encouraged by the Improvement in Their Son's Con dition King Edward's Sympathy. By Inclusive Wire from The Associated Pre. Groton, Mass., Feb. 11. The reports from the sick room of Theodore Itoose velt, jr., the oldest son of the presi dent, who, since Thursday last has been 111 With pneumonia at the tlroton school Infirmary, tended to show an Improvement and at S o'clock tonight his condition' was authoritatively Stated to be better than It was at the sum.1 time Inst night. The crisis of the disease Is still to come and Is looked for within the next twenty-four or thirty-six hours. The president and his wife both believe their son will meet this crisis in good condition and, passing it successfully, Will recover. In fact, tlie slight favorable turn In the disease today has greatly relieved tbe strain on both of them and today closed much more cheerfully than yes terday. Still, the reports issued through Mr. Cortelyou, secretary to the president, ran between hope and fear. IJeginnlng with tho morning, when the boy, after an admittedly bard night, was reported ns improved, al though pleurisy in the right lung was was mentioned, this favorable tendency was continued through the noon state ment. Then, at L4G in tlie afternoon It was stated that the boy's temperature had risen, that it would probably re main high, and if anything Increilse a little toward morning. This sombre one sufpied almost to neutralize tlie morning's encouraging news, Tho next report, at 0.30 In tho even ing, showed that notwithstanding the high temperature, tbe boy had more than hold bis own all day and that bis condition was favorable. Hopefulness wns increased by an additional volun tary report on Mr. Cortelyou's part at S o'clock, that the lad was In better condition than at the same time last night, although he saltl there had not been much change during the day meaning that the favorable condition of the morning had been practically maintained. Interview with Secretary Long. All these reports were authoritative, and In addition, tliete was a cheery In terview with Secretary of the Navy John Li. Long, after a hurried visit of courtesy to his chief, In which he frankly said that the boy was better. To confirm this, came the president's sudden appearance a little later in the afternoon nt the new sporting dome, a recreation house built by Mr. Gardner, adjoining his Inansion. The president was dressed In a suit of tlannels and seemed ready for some exercise on the new 'squash court. He did not play, however, although he remained In the sunny building nenrly two hours, watching a game between Mrs. James Lnwtence and Hev. Sherard Billings. Another interesting event of the day was the receipt ot n telegram from Ambassador Pauncefote at Washing ton, conveying- King Edward's expres sion of sympathy for the president and hope for the speedy recovery of his sou. Tho remarkable weather contrib uted not a little to the cheerfulness of the day, this being the sixth consecu tive day during whlcn the sun has' shone brightly froi. morning to night, while tho air has always been cool, but dry and Invigorating, The Inst sick room bulletin for the day was given out at 11 o'clock. Mr. Cortelyou said that at this time every Indication was for a favorable night for th boy, but the fever bad llue lu.ited somewhat and It was Impossible to tell just when the crisis would come, although It was looked for during AVednesduy. Tho condition of the other two pa tients, William Gnnimell, jr., or Provi dence, and Howard SE. Potter, of New York, also showed great Improvement: In fnct, these two boys tire In much better condition than young Hooose velt. Feb. 12, 1 a. m.

CHOONER BURNED TO WATER'S EDGE DECISION AGAINST THE PUBLIC OPINION PARTY Judge Pennypncker Holds That tho Organization Has Mo In definite Purpose. By Kxvlti.bc Wire front 'Hie A.socUled I'rc.i Philadelphia. Feb. ll.-.Tudge Penny packer, lu common pleas court today sustained the objection to the nomina tion papers of the "Public Opinion party'," which decision prevents the party from having a column on the of llclul ballot, The matter came up on objections by the DemoCratle and Mu nicipal league parties to the certificates of nomination of City Solicitor Klnsey as a candidate for re-election and John M. Patterson and .Inines C. Johnson for magistrates on the Publlo Opinion party. The objectors argued' that the new party was organized purely for p611tical purposes and was composed ot hepubllcans. This was denied by coun sel for the new organization, who claimed It, was an endenvor to nitrify polities In this city. In his opinion Judge Pennypacker reviews the testi mony and stnted that a number of those who signed the nomination pa pers of the Public Opinion party bad no Intention of leaving the Republican party, their sole purpose being to pro cure the election of certain candidates In November, 1901. There was no other formulation of principles, no adoption of rules and regulations looking to fu ture action. and no further attempt at organization. At a later date candi dates for city offices were nominated and It was resolved that their names should be presented as the candidates of the Public Opinion party. The court finds that no sequence or connection Is traced ' between Public Opinion party of November, 1901, and tho movement of January, 1902, which resulted in the convention of tlie IStti, and that, in consequence up to that dute no aotual organization had ex isted. The Public Opinion party therefore is not a party, which polled two per cent, of tbe "entire vote cast at the election nest preceding" within the meaning ot the' net, of 1&S8. - , REVISING THE BASE BALL RULES Members of the Different Associa tions Are Still in Session at Buffalo. Ily i:ilu-bc Wite from the Awoci.ited Pre'. Duffnlo. N. Y Feb, 11. The mem bers of tlie different base ball associa tions, who are revising tho playing rules, resumed their work this morning. Following is tbe text of Sections :s and 4 of Rule 41, defining a strike, as finally adoDted: Section . A foul lilt not caiiuht on the ily, unltss two strikes lave been ulteady called, which falls or settles or. foul tnound. bnlde or on On line ot the terrltoiy uWiiucd by Unci drawn bom fir-it and ttilrd bac; nt right amtlm will, nu imaginary line iliawn from home to second ba-e, and extending on each side t the limit of tho playlnsr Held.

A change In Rule 17, adopted last night, It was found, would prevent the en t'cher going for foul balls, and con sequently the words "and at all times during the game," at the end of tbe section, were ordered stricken out.

New York, Feb. 11. The seboone? which was burned to the water's edge off ti point north of Cape May, last night, wns the Mary Oraliam, from Norfolk to New York, and the crew Is safe, having reached here late this nl; ternooti. ' They were picked up Ijy tlto schooner J. C. Clifford. Captain-F. II. Medley and five seamen composed the crew of the flrnbtiin. She was n two master, which left Norfolk, Vn., three, weeks ago yesterday with. 187,000 feet of p(ne lumber, consigned to a New YorP firm.' From Captain Medley the follow;' lug facts were gathered: About 0.30 o'clock last Saturday morn ing the schooner was caught in the IcV which was coming out of tlie Delaware bay, and the captain, fearful that he would bo crushed or the schooner blown ashore, dropped both anchors, being at that time eight and n half miles northwest of Cape May In nine fathoms of water. The schooner wini leaking and the crew was kept at thu pumps. They suffered terribly from tho cold, and the' bands of Mate Charles Anderson and Sailor C.us-liunson were frost-bitten. Plenty of hot coffee re duced the men's suffering considerably. Heavy seas we;t- blowing over the vessel and the bow sprit was carried away. Soon after-, both masts went by the .board. In fulling over tho side ot the schooner the masts carried away the only boat. This left the crew help less, and their only hope of safety lay In being picked up by a passing ship. Tlie schooner was one mass of Ice from bow' to stern by this time, iind to mid to the peril the captain found she was in danger or sinking, being an old ves sel. To lighten her the captain had about twenty thousand feet of lumber thrown overboard. Despite all efforts tbe schooner wan settling rapidly when the J. C. Clifford, also a, lumber-laden schooner, hove ii sight. This wus about It o'clock yes terday morning. The Clffford lay to about one hun dred yards from the Oraham and sent a boat with mate and three sailors to resUue the crew. On account of the Ice the small boat had great dllllculty In forcing Its way through the water, and the mate bad about given up hope of reaching the sinking schooner when a sudden change In the wind made a pas- " sageway through the Ice, through which the hardy crew rowed to the (irnhtim. Seeing that there was no chance of saving the vtssi-l, Captain Medley ret fire to It before entering the Clifford's boat. In explaining tills action he Ptild that the vessel was ovi-r thirty ytartt old and her bull was In such bud con dition that lie knew she would soon sink.
