may have done while Admiral Dewey was
conducting his operations at Manila had
nothing to do with the settlement of the
policy of the United States with respect
to the islands. He tartly replied to MIR.
Fryes suggestion that he was not conduct
ing himself properly and said that he could
settle that matter with his conscience.
Favored Secret Sessions.
Mr.. Teller, in reply to Mr.. Hoar, argued
in favor OF secret sessions, and urged that
the first thing to be done in this matter
was the ratification of the Treaty. This
done the ground would be cleared and the
Government would then be able to proceed
in working out the future of the islands.
Mr.. Teller said that he did not desire the
Filipinos as citizens of this country any
mere than did the Senator from Massa-
Chusetts, but he did believe that nothing
could be accomplished until the Treaty
had been ratified and the way blazed for
settlement of the whole question.
He was in favor of a resolution that
would put the Philippines on the same
plane with Cuba, but the time was not yet
ripe for such a resolution, and 1t had no
part in the Treaty of Peace. He was not
one Of those who sought to give this peo-
pie of the Orient the rights of American
citizenship. and the arguments advanced
gave him no alarm.
Still, he did want to give the people of
those islands all the blessings of liberty
and freedom, and this, he thought, would
eventually come to them. The first thing
to do was to get Spain out of the islands.
and this would only be done legally when
the Treaty was ratified.
Not until then would this Government
have a title to the islands, and Mr.. Teller
hpb oil
to assist in giving the United States such
title as would permit it to make such dis
position of the islands as the dictates of
humanity demand.
Executive Session Secrets.
Mr. Berry's lecture on making pub ic
the secrets of the Senate through the press
is an addition TO a long list of discus
sions which have taken place on the floor
of the Senate on the subject. The most
memorable one, perhaps, took ace in
1890, when James R. Young. now a men,
ber of Congress, and brother of the late
Librarian of Congress, was executive clerk
of the Senate.
Mr. Young was accused by Senator
Dolph of Oregon of giving out executive
session news, the accusation being based
only upon the fact that he was himself a
newspaper man. A bitter and p-o:racted
fight ensued. Mr.. Dolph following up his
charges with an attempt to oust Mr..
Young. in which he was finally success
full, although there never was the slightest
foundation for his accusations.
Executive session news. as is well
known. is given out by the Senators them
selves. Many of them are opposed 10 Sc
cret sessions. and believe cunscientiously
that the actions and deliberations of the
body should be made public and they DO
all they can to make them public.

to his father, Rev. N. A. Chamberlain,
of this city:

about 10 o'clock. He was shot through
the groin and lived about 20 minutes.

squad at the time. The firing had
opened up heavy on our left and we

We're keeping as low as possible while
watching our point, when | heard
thud and knew some one was hit, but
thought it was one of Company G, as
the sound Of talking came from that
direction. We did not have time to
talk it over, as they opened up on our
front and we got the call to come in.
On our right was a hollow leading up
to Company G's trenches. Dow and I
went in that way instead of direct
across the open. I started in keeping
parallel SO as to warn Company G's
outposts, while Dow struck off diagon-
ally for the hollow. After warning the
men of Company G, struck the hollow
and was going as fast as possible, as
the bullets were lighting all around
me, when I fell headlong into deep
ditch. tearing my clothes and brusing
my right knee. I scrambled up, went
through to Company G, over the hill
and reached the trenches. Then I
learned Claude was wounded. He had
been called to go along the line with
the rest of the front squad and be
ready to wake the boys and drop the
| tents. When called he got up on his
launches with his face toward the cross
| fire and started to pull his tent down,
when he was struck The first words
| he said were:
~ am going to die. Tell the old man
| how it happened
"They called the stretcher bearers
and he died on the way to the hos
pital. 1t seems they never fail to
get one of Company A when they start
