Of the Senate during the greater part OF
this time ConstructNely he occupied
the floor during the entire session, uut
hc was frequently interrupted by other
Senators.
MANY QUESTIONS.
Most Of these interruptions came in the
way of questions but some Of them TOOK
the form Of speeches. This was notably
the case with Senator Berry's Interrupt
tions. He spoke for some time, and IN
doing So denounced the treaty In severe
terms.

FATHER M'KENNoN's LECTURE.

His Remarks on the Philippines IL
Illustrated by Stereopticon Views.
The Rev Father Robert McKennon. for
mer chaplain of the First California Volun-
teer Regiment, delivered an address at
Carroll Institute Hall, in G Street, near
Tenth Street northwest, last night on the
Philippine Islands. The lecture was given
under the auspices of the Carroll Insti
tute, and large audience was present.
1t was after o'clock when the speaker
was introduced. For a few moments the
religion and churches of the islands occu-
pied his attention, and his remarks were
aptly illustrated by excellent stereopticOn
views thrown upon canvas. The speaker
enlarged upon the work of missionaries and
priests among the natives, a majority OF
whom, he declared, are incapable of self
government. In Manila alone there are
more than 100000 natives" said Father
McKennon.
An interesting and instructive history Of
the islands followed dating from the first
occupation by the Spaniards to the present
day. The natives hostile TO American rule,
according to Father McKennon, are but a
small class, located within radius of about
100 miles of Manila. Even these have
been deserted by their principal chiefs, -
opinion, is rapidly nearing its end. There
stands AguinaldO, like wall. maintaining
a gap which alone prevents the realization
of expected peace. But" he continued,
"the end viii soon come, and the next
generation of the natives perhaps, may be
capable of. self-government."
He declared that the anti-eXpansion
press of the United States was doing great
harm. Continuing. the speaker said: Il
have the utmost confidence in the Ameri-
| can people. There is no one who could
| conquer the natives in the Philippines
without difficulty"
| Father McKennon stated that the ma
| tives are fast losing courage, and said be
! believed it TO be the duty of this Govern
ment to crush the rebellion at any cost. A
number of views Of Manila were shown.
! There were also pictures of many ships OF
! the United States Navy, all of which were
| generously applauded by the audience.

A sALooNKEEPER ENJoINED.
A brewing Company Brings Action
AEnfnst John Wei.

Against JOhn W clt.
John We'll. who conducts a saloon at
the corner Of D and Twelfth Streets north
west. was made defendant in a suit filed
yesterday in the equity courts Of the Dis
trict. The complainant is the Chris Heu-
rich Brewing Company, which, through It's
attorney, Leon TobrineT, petitioned the
Supreme Court Of the District to restrain
the defendant from selling or otherwise
disposiug of the products OF other brewers
under the name Of, and as the products o.
the complainant Chris HeuTich Brewing
Company. The court is more especially
asked to zjoin the defendant from rep
reseuting other brews as ''Maerzeu, or
'Heurich's Maerzen" beer.
The bill alleges that the complainant has
for q number Of years breWed a certain
beer popularity known as and called 'Maer-
zen or Heurich's MaerZen beer, and that
the company holds a trademark for that
name as applied TO beers and malt liquors;
that Well, who is engaged in the saloon
business. has for some time been sell
ing and is now selling, lager beer to his
customers. representing and claiming 1t TO
be Naerzen beer OF beer brewed by the
complainant when. in fact, il is not, and
that unless enjOincd by the courts he VIII
continue to DO so, Eha[ Dy Slch representa-
tions customers, patrons, and the public
generally are misled and deceived into
purchasing and consuming other beer un-
der the supposition that they are purchas-
ing beer brewed by complainant, and that
such acts are intended and calculated TO in
lure the reputation Of the complainant as
a brewer Of beer, as also the reputation
of The Maerzen beer, as well as to inter-
fere with and damage the complainant S
business.
FILED with the bill are a number of
afhdavits from various persons, testifying
that We'll has on various occasions sold
beer to them, representing it TO be Maer-
zen beer, the beer brewed by the complain
ant. The bill alleges that Well has not
for a long time purchased beer of the com
plalnant or of its brewing.

MEN AND OFFICERS NEEDED.
Navy Department May Lay Up Vessels
TO Obtain Them.

TO Obtain Them.
Secretary Long is considering the advis-
ability of laying up in ordinary some of the
aImored vessels attached to the North At
lantic station so that their officers and
crews may be distributed among the ships
of the great fleet now in the Philippines.
This lack of officers and men for vesse' s
in commission has proved a serious EN-
| barrassment to the department An eX-
ample is afforded in the case OF the cruiser
Detroit. which was recently detailed to
protect American interests in Santo Do
mingo during the internal troubles there,
in addition to similar duty in Venezuelan
waters. The department was o1ligei 10 do
this because il did not have enough OIL
| GERS and bluejackets available to man
| another snip to send TO Sauto Domingo
! The cruiser New Orleans and the gunbOat
! Nashville looked after American interest,
| In the Dominican Republic during the
early stages of the Jiminez revolution, bu.
/ both Of them have been sent 10 the Philip
/ pines III response TO the urgent request o.
Admiral Dewey.
| The department has practically decided
! 10 withdraw the battleship Indiana from
service, and 1t is probable that the bait e
/ ship Texas viii be laid up a.s0. This will
give nearly a thousand enlisted men for
service on other vessels. Nearly every
| slip in the Philippines is short-handed, tle
| commissioning of the gUnbolts captured or
| purchased from Spain at Mania having
proved a serious drain on the personnel or
! The larger ships now on the Asiauc station.
The former Spanish gunboats Don Juan
| lie Austria Isla de Cuba, and Isle de Lu-
| zon. now under repairs at Eongkong, will
shortly be ready for service, and 1t is the
! intention of the department to send them
| 10 the Philippines when crews can be OBJ
| ,aiued. The Navy Department can obtain
the services OF plenty OF enlisted men, but
| owing 10 the fact that recruiting has
reached the limit fixed by Congress no
more sailors can be mustered in The In
diana is being repaired at New York and
