White Pleads Cause of Filipinos.,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Discussion of
the policy of expansion occupied nearly
all the time of the senate in open ses-
sion Monday. Mr.. White (Cal. }, one of
the Democratswho has announced here
tofore his opposition to ratification of
the treaty Of peace, addressed the senate
in support Of the anti-expansion resOlu-
ton introduced by Mr.. Vest and an
other resolution offered by Mr.. Bacon,
declaring that the Philippines ought to
be free and independent.
Mr.. White did not follow O constitu-
tional argument, but confined himself
to expansion as policy of this govern
ment. He maintained that such a pol
icy was contrary to the fundamental
principles of this country, to its history
and traditions. He declared his, opposi-
ton to the ratification of the pending
treaty of peace, but broadly intimated
that declaration of definite policy on
the part of the administration would
simplify the matter, and as a matter of
good faith should not be antagonized by
the opponents of the treaty's ratifica-

Chief Surgeon With General Miles Trsti-
fees Concerning Army Beef.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Major w. Fl.
Daily, chief surgeon with General Miles,
whose report condemning the beef fur
nished the expeditionary forces created
a sensation several weeks ago, made his
long-awaited appearance as witness
before the war investigating commits.
sion yesterday. At the afternoon ses.
sion DR.. DAILY underwent rather severe
cross-examination, especially on the sub.
ject of the date on which he had re.
ported as to his suspicious in regard to
the beef and why he had not reported
sooner. DR.. DAILY said he had never
discussed with any officer the subject of
bad beef. Instead of commenting on
such matters, he had rather attempted
to allay discomfort with the meat.
While at Chickamauga he had found
meat which had appeared to have been
treated as indicated in his report. If
the government was supplied with
chemically prepared beef, it
had been defrauded. DR.. Daily said he
thought it had not been with fraudu-
lent intent. The persons supplying the
beef probably considered the prepare
tons used no more harmful than salt.
He had not arrived at the conclusion he
had until after test. Instead of lessen
ing his opinion, each test made him less
willing to recant any statement he had
made. DR.. DAILY was questioned closely
as to the examination of an extract of
beef, which he said he had made, and
which he said had resulted in dis
closure of the characteristics of borax
and salicylic acid. He said the beef
from which the meat was taken was
perfectly clean and the fluid was trans
ferred to a perfectly clean glass bottle.
The beef used in making the extract
was of the refrigerated" variety. At
Jacksonville he had inspected meat
which, while of good appearance, had

Foraker Spoke Only For Himse IL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The senate
listened further Thursday to discussion
of the policy of expansion. Mr.. Turner
wash delivered carefully prepared
speech on the Vest resolution. The
speech was, for the most part, a consti
tutional argument, in which Mr.. Turner
took issue with Senator Platt and Sena-
tor Foraker upon their recent utter
ances. At the conclusion of Mr.. Turner's
argument, Mr.. Foraker took some sharp
exceptions to statements made in the
speech, especially those referring to him
personally. He explained at length the
nature of his statements, declaring
among other things that he had spoken
only for himself, and had had no inten-
ton or desire to pose as the representa-
tive of the administration SO far as his
utterances were concerned. Referring
to tn, comment which had been aroused
in Great Britain by his statements, he
said: 81 was not speaking for the adj
ministration, and the chill that went up
and down the backs of our friends in
London was due perhaps to misappre-
hension as to which of the Ohio sena-
tors was speaking"

Anninaldo Deals With Spain.

MANILA, Jan. "a. - Aguinaldo pro-
claimed the Philippine republic this
morning at Malalos. There was NO
public demonstration at Manila. The
Spanish civil prisoners are to be set
free. The rival naval authorities at
Cebu are reported to be fighting and the
town is endangered. Aguinaldo's gov
eminent cannot maintain order in the

ties often being murdered. If Agui-

probably attempt to shake of his yoke.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The National
Pure Food and Drug congress yesterday
listened to an effective speech by Sena-
tor Mason of Illinois, which bore Oh
some of the practical questions in the
contest being waged by the pure food
advocates. He said if manufacturers
were obliged to sell goods for what they

rant or too busy to know such decep-
tons, and at the same time it would
give protection to honest manufactur.

of pure food should stand by the
legislators who have aroused the
hostilities CT trusts who control the
necessities of life. The recommended
ton of the committee on organization
in favor of organizing q permanent So

NAVY In THE SENATE
ATTACK ON THE DEPARTMENT FOR
POLICY OF FAvORiTISM.

Senators Disagree as to Merits of Schiey
and Sampson and Ask For Reports
Fight Is Brought ON In Executive SEES
sion-Desire Possession of Facts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The entire
executive session of the senate
yesterday was devoted wholly Il
the discussion OF the promotion
of Admirals Sampson andSchley
and other officers engaged in the
Santiago campaign over the heads Of
officers who were their superiors in rank
The controversy was then postponed
for 20 days after a vote had been taken
to call for the records of the navy de
partment bearing upon the conduct Of
all affected by the advancement.
The discussion arose over the resolI
tion-of which Senator Butler was the
author-calling for these documents
AS originally offered, it asked for the
reasons for the advancements, but the
resolution was modified so as to request
the record only. The first vote was on
q motion made by Senator Hale to lay
the resolution on the table and on this
the yeas and nays were taken, result
ing, yeas 81, nays 30. The resolution
was then allowed to pass without fur
rner division.
For three hours previous to this, how.
ever, the senate had been engaged in a
very animated verbal battle, which in.
volved many intricacies and was par.
ticipated in by large number of SEN
ators. The main contests were first
over the general policy of promoting
these officers over others who were
characterized as deserving, though less
fortunate, in that they were deprived of
such active participation in the war, y
and second, as to the relative merits of
Sampson and Schley.
Senators Wellington and German,
one Republican and the other DEM
ocrat, united in fierce attack ON the
navy department for favoring Sampson
over Schley, while Senators Lindsay,
Pettigrew, Perkins and Money attacked
the whole system of promotion as ga
species of favoritism, which was not
warranted by the facts"
The method of the administration was
defended by Messrs. Hale, Chandler
and Lodge.
