sPooNER AND TILLMAN TACKLE.
Wisconsin Statesman Catechised During n
Speech Expansion.

Washington, Feb. "A notable speech
was made in the senate yesterday by
Spooner of Wisconsin. He discussed the
question of expansion in all of its
phases, and urged the ratification of
the peace treaty as the best means of
bringing the burning question home ia
the people themselves, who could well
be trusted on their sober second thought
TO do that which would be fair, just
and generous towards the inhabitants
of the Philippine archipelago. SpOoneT
spoke for three hours. At the conclusion
OF his speech he received the warm
congratula tiOns of many of his col
leagues. notable among whom was Till
man. with whom he had had a sharp
personal tilt in the course of mis- argu-
ment.
During the speech Tillman, interrupt
ing SpOoner. inquired: IF we accept
the Philippines would the inhabitants
of that territory have the right to
come without hiEdrance to this coun-
try"
Spooner-Yes: for the purposes. of nv
argument 1 am disposed to admit it.
T.llman then inquired whether the in
habitants Of a territory could be pre-
vented from entering the states SPOON
er said he doubted it. TilIman further
along pressed his question as to the
right OF the FiltpinoS to come here and
declared that by admitting the islands
by treaty 10000. GOO people of that ter
ritory could take the first ship for this
country and upon arrival here could
enter into. competition with American
labor. That was the reason why he
would vote against the treaty.
Shortly afterwards Tillman again in
terrupted Spooner with the statement
that If Spooner had been present al
Wednesdays session he would not have
made certain statements. He then pro-
ceeded 10 cite from the reports Of the
United States consul at Manila certain
facts concerning the progress OF the
revolution against Spanish rule in the
islands
