Especial Washington LetterI
BY giving an old and familiar prov
erb slight twist we have this result:
when Republicans fall out, honest
men get their dues That is small
hope. but hope nevertheless. Since
the world began no party was ever
more thoroughly organized or ruthless
ly disciplined than is the Republican
party. Ordinarily the party lash is
sufficient to bring any recalcitrant
member into line. but occasionally the
lash has no terror for a kicker. 1t is
generally taken and accepted that old
age is a hindrance TO effective public
service, but sometimes 1t contributes
to independence of political action.
For instance, Senator George Frisbie
Hoar of Massachusetts. one of the most
scholarly men in public life. now verg-
ing on the psalmist's extreme allot-
ment of years. shows indubitable signs
Of independence on the question of inn
perialism. and. so far from fearing that
his action will end his public career.
he actually bankers after the glorles of
martyrdom. TO show exactly his atti-
tude | hereby reproduce from the
Washington Post the description of
scene which is likely to become historic
as the beginning of an open rupture in
the Republican party The Post says:
Notice was served upon the administration sup
porters in the senate yesterday that they must
discontinue their efforts suppress official infor
nation regarding the situation in the Philippines
Senator Hoar publicly arrayed himself in op
position to his party colleagues and gave evidence
that he, like Pettigrew. would be thorn in the
side Of the Republicans. Mr. Pettigrew, ii will
be remembered, introduced a resolution some
time ago in which he desired the secretary OF the
navy to state whether Admiral Dewey had ever
saIuted the flag Of the Philippine republic. The
large and obedient Republican majority IN the
senate promptly laid the resolution on the table
Yesterday Mr.. Pettigrew again came forward
with few questions addressed to the secretary Of
war He wanted to know whether certain el-
legged facts. showing that the present war in the
Philippines could have been ended If General Otis
had accepted predered explanation from Agui-
naido were true long before the feaaihs Oh ene
resolution had been concluded senator Lodge hao
advanced toward the eieIH oesk ana was waiting
to be recognized. while senator hawiey aiSo came
forward from his desk Senator Chandler arose.
and Senator Sewell did likewise. 1t quite evil
dent that Sir. Pettigrew's resolution was destined
to run a gantlet OF opposition.
Almost simultaneously Mr. Lodge and Mt
Chandler objected to t4e immediate consideration
Of the resolution, while Mr. Hawley ana MI
Sewell wanted il referred TO the committee on
military affairs, where II was likely to be buried,
the senate committee on foreign affairs has
buried Senator Mason's resolution OF sympathy
for the Beers The objections OF Aessrs- Lodge
and Chandler were entertained by the presiding
officer. and the resolution went over until today.
