Three Hours Devoted to Discussion
of Philippine Affairs in the Sem
ate Yesterday.
WASHINGTON. January 15.-Spir-
tied debate on the Philippine question
occupied the attention of the Senate
for nearly three hours to-day. Mr..
Berry (Dem., Ark first addressed the
Senate in support of the resolutions
recently introduced by Mr.. Bacon
(Dem., Ga,) regarding the disposition
of the Philippines. He was followed
by Mr.. Pettigrew (Sil. Rep, S. DID, in
support of his resolution of inquiry
Mr.. Pettigrew was very bitter in his
attacks on the administration.
Mr.. Wolcott (Rep., COLI replied to
Mr.. Pettigrew, scathingly arraigning
the South Dakota Senator for the atti-
tude he had assumed on the Philippine
question. He declared his belief that
if A~guinaldo himself had occupied the
seat in the Senate occupied by Mr..
PetClgreW, representing the people OF
South Dakota. who had sent their
sons as soldiers to the Philippines,
he would be too patriotic, too devoted
to the interest of country, to assume
the attitude assumed by the present
South Dakota Senator. Mr.. Wolcott
adverted also to the speech recently
recently delivered by Mr.. Beverage
(Rep., Ind.,) sharply criticising tit for
the spirit of greed which seemed to
animate the Senator in making such
a deliverance.
At the conclusion of the Philippine
discussion, Mr.. Rawlins (Dem., Utah.
addressed an elaborate argument to
the Senate in opposition to the pro-
posed financial legislation.

GIGANTIC RAILROAD DEAL.

~
Meanfnr Or the Issue ~ Thfrteen
Million Dollars More stock BY
Pennsylvania Railroad.
PHILADELPHIA. January 15.-The
Evening Telegraph to-day lays:
The apparently real meaning of the
new $13, 100000 Pennsylvania railroad
stock issue does not rest in the plan
to abolish grade crossings and the erec-
ton of a new station in Pittsburg at
the cost of 81. 500, 900 together with bet
terments elsewhere over the great sys-
TEN, but in meeting payment for ex-
tended purchases of stock of the Ches-
apeake & Ohio, said to amount to 1907
OOO shares. A prominent Pennsylvania
railroad official said to a reporter:
chesapeake G Ohio shares have been
purchased in very quietly during the
past few months, in order to erect an
important, far-reaching railroad deal.
Whenever a share was offered in the
market it was picked up and the pur-
chase was done so skmillfully that the
price was not disturbed in the slight
est degree. It Is stated that Mr.. Cas-
satt bought in this way a block OF
100. 900 shares of Baltimore C Ohio
stock through Jacob Shift, of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., New York, and James ].
Hill, president of the Great Northern.
The b1ving of Chesapeake & Ohio is
another story.
when William X. Vanderbilt sue
ceeded his brother, Cornelius, he found
that the earnings of the Vanderbilt
system had been greatly reduced by
competition. Then followed the for
nation of a combination.
"a full majority of the stock OF eth
err the Baltimore & Ohio and Chesa-
peake & Ohio was not obtained, but
Pennsylvania is credited with having
sufficient to control the policy of both
and select the managers. There is no
attempt to consolidate the properties.
The only purpose OF MI. Vanderbilt and
Mr.. Cassett is to establish and main
tain rates.
"The New York Central secures prac-
teal control of the Big Four and the
Lake Erie and Western as Its part OF
the combination, NJ. E. ingalls, remain
ing as president of Big Four but re-
firing from the Chesapeake & Ohio.
The consolidated road is likewise IN
the deal and the merging OF the West
Shore, the Old Nickel Plate, with Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, N. Y.
Central and Penna. has been determ-
ined upon.
''That is the meaning of the new
s13, 0O0, GOO stock issue. 1t is part OF the
big railway deal"
