Mr.. Pettigrew contended that no mere
fragments of a tribe was opposed the
United States in the Philippines, but that
the entire population was antagonists.
He estimated that a standing army CT
100 900 men would be necessary there. He
did not think that General Otis asSur-
ances could be relied upon in view of
the long list of casualties sent to Wash
ington every day.
Mr.. Teller advocated the amendments
for travel pay saying that we could only
maintain an army in the Philippines by
pursuing a liberal policy.
Mr. Teller said he had been .ssurei
by an army officer who had bat recently
returned from the Philippines that we did
not actually hold a district in the island
of LuZon bigger than the District OF CO.
lumbia. This was no more territory than
was held a year ago. 1t was therefore
puerile TO say that the money due the
troops should be withheld for mere mo-
tives of economy.
Mr.. Hawley's point of order against
the Turner amendment for the allowance
of travel pay made yesterday was sus-
tanned

He was interrupted several times by Rep
resentative Dolliver, of Iowa, who asked
several irrelevant question indicating
that he was the champion of the negro,
but Kitchn was ready with an answer
and fioored the man from Iowa.
Mr.. Kitchin explained that the amend :
ment was necessary to preserve white
supremacy, and that it was not unconsti-
tutional. He was frequently applauded
during the course of his remarks.
Representative Small also made few
remarks upon the political conditions in

that the Tar Heel State had recently been
discussed in both branches of Congress
and criticised in a manner unwarranted
and unjust. Mr.. Smalls time was limited,
but while he spoke he held the close at
