Of attacks after hours. All the work

At II o'clock, the Senate convened
10 begin the final days discussion OF
the Puerto Rican bill. After some
minor business had been transacted
Mason. III. addressed the Senate. His
speech was not confined To the Puerto
Rican measure. but included in its
scope all the problems attendant upon
the contract and government of our
insular posse ssions. He spoke in favor
nf the reSolutionuf Wellington. who Of

against the bill proposed by Spooner.

President to govern the Philippines un-
til Congress shall otherwise direct.
Incidentally, Mason opposed the tar

Rican products. He was opposed TO
holding the Philippines. because un-

Mason resented as cowardIy and un-
just any reflection upon his patriotism
and his love for the flag because of his
opinions regarding the Philippines
He declared that if it We're treason tn
oppose a war of conquest. to list unjust
taxation, to confer upon a struggling
people the blessings of liberty. to pro-
tect ldboring men and women of this
country. then he was guilty.
AdNerting at this point to Puerto
Rico. he maintained that when the
treaty of Paris was ratified the island
became part Of the United States
and Congress had no more right to put
q duty on her products than it had to
put tariff duty on products passing
between New York and Washington.

Mason. there is but one way to levy
