and Imperialism Is Severely
Condemned. Packed Gal

ro4orpst at Washington Tuesday cen
+orod in the speech Of Senator Bacon
on the Philippine question, says
Washington dispatch.
The announcement that the senator
from Georgia was to speak resulted III

Senator Bacon was at his best, and
his speech proved easily the best on
the question which the senate has yet
heard In the course of his speech he
was frequently interrupted by leading
republicans, and IN the running ez
change, as in the main portion OF his
snppch he met every conUen tiOn Of
those advocating the permanent reten'
ton of the islands
In the earlier portion of his speech
Senator Bacon dwet upon the great
value of immunity from war which
this untry now enjoys and the vast
ness of the problem which faces TINS
country in the contemplated change III
the system of government which must
inevitably result from the adoption OF
a colonial policy. The latter part of
his So 1ech was devoted to the discus.
sion of what might might be callt d the
business of the quest On--the cost in
y0lyed, the possible returns and the
burden as it must fall on the peOp,e of
the different states.
The latter half hour Of Senator Ba-
cons time was given to replying to
various questions put to him by sena
atOr5 IN explanation and elucidatiou of
his position as set forth IN some p0r,
lions of his speech. This cr0ss-f firing
IS always the most interesting part Of
debate, ard this was particularly so.

was warmly complimented by his col
