Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, denounced the action of the Republican majority in bringing into the senate at this time in the session propositions of so far-reaching a character as those relating to the Philippines and to Cuba. It was.

he said, a most important and dangerous movement, and, as he and a large body of men on his side of the chamber believed, in direct conflict with the constitution. The action of the majority, he declared, "is a despotism in legislation never paralled in the history of this country." At great length Mr. Morgan discussed the constitutional phases of the Philippine question. He insisted that there was no war in the Philippine islands. "With whom are we dealing in the Philippine islands?" he inquired.

"We are dealing with citizens of the United States, some of whom are in insurrection. They are just as surely citizens of the United States as I am every one of them. As citizens of the United States they are as much entitled to the protection of the con-sitution and laws of the United States as are any of our citizens." In the course of his discussion of the Philippine question, into which he went very fully, Mr. Morgan referred in terms of high praise to the work of the Taft commission, and to the government which had been established in the islands. He declared that no law enacted by the Taft commission was unjust or usurpatory, and he had never heard of any more successful government In any territory of the United States.

Hamilton, convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, was brought Into court after regular hours, at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon. It was? hoped in this way to escape curious crowds. Judge Brooks sentenced the prisoner to seven years at hard labor in the penitentiary at Stillwater. Hamilton, while he had been hoping for the shortest sentence allowed under the law, five years, did not seem greatly surprised at the length of the term given him. For a moment only his face showed dismay and pain, and then he turned to his attorneys with a half smile and dropped back into his seat.

In the room were a number of women, who began to cry when sentence was pronounced. The situation was dramatic from this standpoint, but Hamilton failed to notice any of the women, and confined his attentions to his attorneys and his newspaper friends. As soon as sentence was passed the prisoner was remanded to the custody of the sheriff. Commitment' papers will probably be made out tomorrow morning and Hamilton taken to Stillwater to begin his term. Tlie Storv a Fake.

Omaha, Feb. 24. Chief of Police Donahue tonight said that, if Pat Crowe was hiding on Bellevue island the police department had no knowledge of it, and he very much doubted if it were true. He knew that Crowe was at Bellevue, where he has relatives, a week prior to the abduction of young Cudahy, but he did not think he had been there since that time. The story that Crowe had been traced to Bellevue Island and was being watched there probably originated from the fact that he has a brother- in-law living in the vicinity, and that the island has been the scene of a number of captures of counterfeiters and other criminals, for which it af fords an Inaccessible hiding place.

The senate committee on relations with Cuba has agreed to an amendment to the army appropriation bill regarding Cuba, and it was offered and referred in the senate today.

The amendment is practically as outlined in these dispatches Saturday, some concessions and modifications being made. No opposition is expected from the Democrats in the sfn: lt is tJhe general impression mat. iue aiueuuuieui win uxcmt; itu extra session of congress unnecessary. The text of the amendment is as follows: That in the fulfillment of the declaration declared in the joint resolution approved April 20, 1898, entitled "For the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding' that the government of Spain relinquish its sovereignty in the island of Cuba and to withdraw its land and naval forces from the island of Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the president of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect," the president is hereby authorized to leave the government and control of the island to its control as soon as a government shall have been established in said island, under a constitution, which, either as a part thereof or in an ordinance appended thereto, shall define the future relations of the United States with Cuba substantially as follows: First That the government of Cuba shall never enter into any treaty or other compact with any foreign power or powers which will impair or tend to impair the independence of Cuba, nor in any manner authorize or permit any foreign power or powers to obtain by colonization or for military or naval purposes or otherwise, lodge- or over, any pomon sai( islancl. Third That said government shall not assume or contract any public dent, to pay tne interest upon which and to make reasonable sinikng fund provision for the ultimate discharge of which, the ordinary revenues of the islands, after defraying the current expenses of government, shall be inadequate.

Third That the government of Cuba consents that the United States may exercise the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of a ogv-ernment adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty, and for discharging the obligations with respect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States, now to be assumed and undertaken by the government of Cuba. Fourth That all acts of the United States in Cuba during its military occupancy thereof be ratified and validated, and all lawful rights acquired thereunder shall be maintained and protected. Fifth That the government of Cuba will execute, and as far as necessary extend, the plans already devised, or other plans to be mutually agreed upon, for the sanitation of the cities of the island, to the end that a recurrence of epidemics and infectious diseases may be prevented, thereby assuring protection to the people and commerce of Cuba as well as to the commerce of the Southern ports of the United States and the people residing therein. Sixth That the Isle of Pines shall be omitted the proposed constitutional boundaries of Cuba, the title thereto being left to future adjustment by treaty. Seventh That, to enable the United States to maintain the independence of Cuba and to protect the people thereof, as well as for its own defense, the government of Cuba will sell or lease to the United States lands nec essary for coaling or naval stations at certain specified points, to be agreed upon with the president of the United States.

Eighth That, by way of further as surance, the government of Cuba will embody the foregoing provisions In a permanent treaty with the United States. A NOT II Kit JUNK DIASTKR. Reported lot in a Wyom- lus Coal Tllue. Kemmerer, Feb. 25.

A disas trous fire in the Diamondville coal mine No. 1 late this evening was attended with serious loss of life and great destruction of property. There were some fifty miners and fifteen horses entombed. One miraculous escape was made, however, by John Anderson, who was working near the mouth of the level, when he realized the mine was on fire. With some dif ficulty he reached the main lead and by throwing a heavy overcoat over, his head and shoulders he pushed his way through the flames and reached the main lead completely exhausted and terribly burned, but will recover.

He was taken out by friends. All efforts to succor those further back have failed, as the flames drove the rescuers back. That all have per ished is without question. The scenes around the. mine were heartrending.

Mothers, wives and sweethearts weep ing and tearing-their hair in terrible agony and all efforts to calm them proved of no avalL The loss of property will reach an enormous figure, and as the officials are very reticent, the, amount and names of those imprisoned are unobtainable at a late hour: The cause of the fire is at present unknown.

religious views underwent a mark change, however, in time, and he withdrew from the ministry. For fifteen years he served as a cir judge. For fully twenty-five years wielded the editorial pencil of the Porter county newspaper, which exists, under different ownership, the Vidette. He is now retired, but comes around to the office each week to "help get out the paper" out of pure love for the craft and unselfish desire to be of assistance to others This unselfish humanitarianism is the strongest "feature of Judge Talcott character. He is an advanced thinker and an advocate of reform In the educational, political and religious fields.

He has published several books in furtherance his ideas, particularly that of spelling reform. In the latter movement he has invented a new phonetic system, with an odd looking alphabet of about twenty-five letters, each of which has one sound, and no more. He has got out several books In this spelling system from the type designed by and cast especially for himself. In most case? also set the type for these publica tions A more enduring example of his work I will be the inscription upon his tombstone, which is carved in the quaint letters of his phonetic alphabet, and is but unintelligible to the stranger who attempts to read it for the first time.

Judge William Talcott, of Valparaiso, is probably the only man In the world who visits his own grave every sveek.

Judge Talcott is a hale and A-ell preserved man of eighty-five years A-hose activity and freedom from illness or the ordinary bondage of increasing age might be envied by half the men of forty. Less than half a mile from his comfortable home in a prominent portion of Maplewood cemetery, of Valparaiso, stands the impressive marble monument which he has just had erected to his own memory. It marks the spot the aged jurist and journalist has selected for his final earthly resting place and its glistening sides bear the unique inscription he has selected to be read by future generations. A blank space is left for the insertion of the date of decease, otherwise the graven story is complete. He goes out to see his tomb stone every Sunday.

Nor is this the only unusual step taken by Judge Talcott to make lighter the burdens of his own funeral direc tor. In addition he has written out complete his funeral discourse, in stately rhymed verse, has had it printed and furnished a copy to Judge William Johnston, who is under promise to read it at the funeral service when it shall occur in lieu of the usual religious ad dress. Other "advance copies" have been furnished to numerous friends and relatives who may not be able to attend the sad event. An undeniable fact is, however, that the old judge bids fair to outlive many of his younger con freres who have received the "sermon," which was not only written, but ac tually put in type as well, by its gray haired subject. Judge Talcott is a model character over Northwestern Indiana.

For ten. years he was a preacher of the pioneer circuit-riding variety, and an earnest and uniformly CHILD OF THE Little Zintka Lanuni, the little Unc-papas Sioux waif, found by the side of a dead squaw after the battle of Wounded Knee creek, is developing into a young woman. She is the charge of General Colby of Beatrice and id a not unhappy reminder to him of the terrible scenes of the Pine Ridge agency troubles of 1890-91. Colojaal Forsythe, with General Custer's old regiment, the Seventh cavalry, on December 2S, 1890, was ordered to take and disarm the Indian chief, Big Foot, and his band of warriors, who were encamped with their wives and children on Porcupine creek, about 20 miles east of Pine Ridge agency.

The camp of 120 lodges was easily surrounded by the 500 well armed troopers, and without resistance they were all removed over to Wounded Knee creek, distant about fifteen miles from the agency, and on the morning of the 29th the process of disarming commenced. At about 8 o'clock in the morning the Hotchkiss guns were mounted so as to command the entire Indian camp.which comprised Big Foot's band and nearly all the followers of Sitting Bull, who escaped after the death of their chief on Grand River. It was a desperate death struggle of brave men against three or four times their number, who believed they were all to be massacred and who determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible. The slaughter was terrible. The battle was ended only when not a live Indian was in sight.

One hundred dead warriors and 120 women and children lay dead on the field. Darkness prevented any care of th wounded Indians on the day of, the battle. On the next day the excitement was so great that the attention of the troops was devoted entirely to the projection of the agency. On the third day a terrible storm and blizzard swept over the country, and it was impossible to make any progress in the work of relief on the battle field. On the fourth day the hospital and burial detail from the agency went to the field to complete Its work.

While thus engaged, on the afternoon of the fourth day after the battle, there was found by the side of a dead Indian A NEW WORK "I understand that there are hundreds and hundreds of young and mid-ile-aged women in the large cities who are out of employment and likely to remain so, unless they change their point of view, and instead of seeking hope-'fssly positions already crowded, turn their energies where they will always be needed," says a New York society voman.

The Indo-Chinese are not soldiers. and as a rule have not the soldierly instincts but the Burmese "Dacolts, that is "klephts," half patriots, half brigands, who so grieveously worried us during the first four years of the conquest, constantly died like heroes. while the Roman Catholic converts of Annam accepted martyrdom in thousands with the tranquil constancy ot the early Christians. They were only asked for the most part to de stroy their temples, give up their pastors, and be quiet, and they accepted death in preference. Of the Siamese we know little except that they fought tneir way to empire, but Chinese have contended with rach other like he roes, the Mohammedan Chinese having faced extermination, and the Teapings, who were undrilled, having died in scores of thousands while batting with their drilled fellow-countrymen under Gordon.

To the coolness with which the Chi nese meet death all observers bear witness, while their kinsfolk, the Tartars, overran the world and fought like heroes, though well aware that a wounded man had little chance ex cept of death by" torture or starvation. That great difference between their position when fighting and that of Europeans is common to all Asiatics. and has never been allowed for. Their armies are unaccompanied by hosolt- als. There is.

moreover, one admitted fact which certainly makes heavilv against the charges of cowardice. European officers will take Asiatics of almost any and by a few months of drill nd training in arms will make of them good regiments. equal most of them, though they have not the incentive of patriotism, or any tradition of honor, to battle on fair terms with Europeans.

Li at iicu and man, luriej, Mr. Spooner offered an amendment to the amendment providing that until a permanent government shall have boon established in the Philippine archipelago, full reports shall be made to congress on the first day of each regular session of all legislative acts and proceedings of the temporary government, and that full information shall be supplied to the president as to the conditions in the islands. The Spooner amendment was agreed to.

Mr. Vest, of Missouri, offered the following amendment to the Philippine provision: "That no judgment, order or act, by any of said officials, so appointed, shall conflict with the law and consti- I tution of the United States." Mr. 'Spooner did not think the proposed amendment was necessary. He thought this fact ought to be recognized, especially by Democrats. Many of them held that the constitution extended to the Philippine islands, ex proprio vigore.

Mr. Vest replied that the doctrine that the constitution was in force in the Philippines was held by such good Republicans as ex-Senator Edmunds, ex-President Harrison, ex-Governor Boutwell and many others. He did not know what the decision of the supreme court upon the point would be. He would be a bold man, he said, who would venture to say what the decision would be, but it was rumored that the supreme court would not decide the question at all as to whether the constitution extended to the islands of its own force. Every lawyer knew, he said, how the court could evade the question, and it had even been suggested that the court might say the government of the Island possessions of this country was entirely within the military power of the government.

Mr. Tillman vigorously opposed the Philippine amendment He declared it was a bold and naked proposition to invest the president with plenary -power to gQvern the Philippine archipelago in a civil way. Yet, he said, objection was raised to the constitution of the United States being the president's guiding star. It was not proposed, he asserted, that the president should be hampered even by the constitution. Mr.

Tillman declared that the enactment of the proposition into law, together with the granting of certain Tequests of the Taft commission to -sell public lands and lease mines, -would open to the people of the Philippines all the dangers of carpetbag government. Mr. Daniel made a constitutional argument against the Philippine proposition In the bill. It was proposed, lie said, to confer upon the president power vested only In congress. Mr.

Hoar, of Massachusetts, Inquired whether lt was not one of the chief purposes of the pending proposition to proTide for the sale of the public lands before the Filipino people had any opportunity to have a voice in the nT6 "Precisely so," replied Mr. Caffrey, "and If the Filipinos ever come into their own they will discover that they have no public lands. They will all nave been alienated." "The leading, bald proposal here is," said Mr. Hoar, "that the public lands and franchises of 12.000,000 people shall be sold by Americans to Amer-j leans as, upon the whole, the best means of pacifying a man." continued Mr. Hoar, sarcastically, "is for one foreigner to take and sell his property to another foreigner.
