address be read in the senate by Sem
ator Wolcott and that at its conclu-
sions the senate proceed to regular
business.
Senator Teller then addressed the
senate on expansion. He said there is
no ground for discussion as to the right
of the government to acquire terri
tory. In the earliest days of our his
tory this doctrine was established.
He took issue with Vest who said that
If the Uaited States should acquire
that territory it must of necessity be
organized into states, provided the
constitution and precedents were fol-
loved.
The United States said he, SO OBJ
tanned New Mexico and other terrific
ries, and no one can now. or ever could
dispute our right to do as we please
with them, This is just as true of
-:sp Rico and the Philippines, aud
no one else can govern them. The
United States must decide what sort of
government shall be given to both
these islands.
Mr.. Teller was listened to with close
attention. Towards the close of the
speech Caffery and Tillman took part
IN the discussion, bringing out the ad-
mission from the Colorado senator
that he favored an independent gov
ernment for the Filipinos as soon as
hey we're prepared for it.
The Nicaragua canal bill was laid
before the senate, Senator Caffery
began speech opposing the com
nittee bill

policy relative to wage disputes and

A5 IN Il MINUTES
Mrs. Henrotin Says Itis Time
For the Navy Depart
ment To Stop
Him.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 2O.-The world 4
kissing record was broken last night in
this city, when Lieutenant Commander
Richmond Pearson Hobsou, the hero
of the Merrimac, kissed 415 women
and girls in exactly twelve minutes.
This remarkable feat was &C,
complished at the Coates house at 2:3C
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Hobson
had arrived only few minutes earlier
1t the depot, where he was met by q
committee and escorted to the hotel
amid the cheers of the multitude.
After making his way through q
crowd Of several hundred men in the
hotel corridor, Liutenant Hobson
was escorted to the parlors on the SEQ
ond floor, where more than four hun
dred women and girls were expectant-
ly awaiting him.
AS soon as the popular
idol made his appearance the
women and girls pressed around
him and all but very small number
lifted their lips to him for q kiss. He
was equal to the emergency and with
lean tar is noted, gave each q resound-
ing smack.
A few of the most amorous were sat-
tsfied with nothing less than kiss
and an embrace.
Last night Hobson and Major Gener-
al A. r. Chaffee were guests of honor
at the annual banquet of the Kansas
City Commercial club, after which
Hobson left on the Santa Fe fast mail
for Denver, where it is understood he
will be the central figure of another
Osculatory carnival.
CHICAGO, December 2O.-Comment-
ing On Hobson's performances, Mrs.
ella M. Henrotin, the prominent club
woman and Tempo rance Union worker
of this city, said:
"This latest episode of Lieutenant
Hobson is a disgrace to the navy and
the department should recall him and |
put an end to his fippsncy. pract.ced |
with silly girls and women under the |
guise of a returned hero"
