Washington, Jan. ia spirited and
at times sensational debate was pre-
cipitated in the senate on the Philip
pine question, the basis for the speech
making being the resolution of inquiry
offered several days ago by Senator
Pettigrew (pop., S. D. to which substi-
tutes were proposed. Pettigrew at
tackled the administration policy in
the Philippines and also made some
startling charges against those who
are supporting the administration He
declared a systematic effort was being
made to prevent accurate information
from reaching the people Of the United
States and that it was a political
scheme to farther the candidacy Of
President Mckinley for denomination.
The trouble with the imperialists,
said Pettigrew, is they have con-
founded the interests of the people Of
the United States with the political de-
sires and ambitions of their puny pres
ident and have regarded him as more
important than the rightful treatment
OF the FilipinOs, If any amendment is
to be made 70 the resolution, he said,
1T ought to be made to read that the
information should be transmitted TO
the senate if not incompatible with the
presidents intentions as a canoldate
for recollection. The fact is this whole
business is bound up in the presidents
desire TO again be the candidate Of his
party for president.
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin intro

duty and destiny of this country to

He said the Philippines are too val
liable to give up, and are essential to

clared. Senator Hoard made a speech

We Will not abandon our opportunity

Bradstreet,s Review.

New York, july 14-Bradstreet,s to-
day says:
While trade is still of only midsum-
.mer volume, the beginning of an i'm
provement in demand is apparently be-
coming visible. The improvement is
still one of tone rather than of actual
demand, but with. as seems probable,
a yield of 540,000.000 bushels of wheat,
a next to record-breaking yield of corn
and Very large production OF oats, the
western crop situation contains many
encouraging features.
The southern cotton crop has un-3
doubtedly suffered and the condition is
unprecedentedly low for this season Of
the year, but the acreage planted was
"a large one and prices are so much
higher that satisfactory financial re-
turn is confidently looked for. In adj
dition, railroad earnings point to the
maintenance of the business of the.
country at a large volume in excess of
last year.
The efforts of the big iron and steel
concerns to control prices. if really
made. have proved abortive and anoth-
er wholesale slashing of quotations is
to be reported this week. Production
however. is falling off and increases Of
furnace stocks. tho considerable, would
seem small II renewed activity oc-
CURED.
| It's hard to see how lower prices can
be expected, and it is said that present
quotations are attracting some BUSH
ness particularly at Chicago.
The situation in cotton goods is an
embarrassing one Of the manufacture
ers. Raw cotton, old crop, this week
reached the highest price in ten years,
but nothing like a proportionate adj
vance is being secured in many finished
products. Export trade with China has
been checked, several mills have shut
4 down and short time during the sum-
mer has been practically agreed upon
by the Fall River print cloth mills. A
rather better tone Is noted in the dry
goods market at New York, with symp-
toms Of expanding demand. chiefly
however, for seasonable goods Con-
cessions in prices have induced rather
freer buying Of wool atNsome centers
and the tone of the London sales is
firmer, but the goods markets show lit
| tie animation.
The Industrial situation is rather bet
ter. as a result Of agreements upon
wages by a number OF iron and steel
manufacturing concerns and their en-
ployes. Lower prices for lumber are
apparently inducing more activity in
building, tho how much is due to this or
how much to the settlement OF labor
