DISCUSSED IN THE SENATE.
The Question OF Philippine Annexation
Argued.


Washington, Jan. 15.-In the SEN
ate Gear, of Iowa, was warmly con-
graduated on his denomination for
the senate. Pettigrew presented a
petition from the Woman's Suffrage
association of South Dakota, for the
10Th amendment to the constitution
according to women the right to vote
and extending the privilege to mem-
bers of that sex in Porto hico. Hawaii
and the Philippines. Pettigrew's res
olution asking the secretary of war for
information regarding the Philippines,
came up for consideration.
Berry, of Arkansas, addressed the
senate declaring there was no fOunda-
ton for the charges that those who
objected to the proceedings in the
Philippines were aiding those in arms
against the United States or RESPONSE
BILE for the loss of the lives of our sol
diers. He said PcveIidge's resolution
conferred the power and authority oa
this country as absolute as possessed
by the czar of Russia. Berry took
issue with the claim in Beveridge's
speech that the American people had
been selected by God as His trustee to
extend civilization and liberty TO the
Philippines.
Pettigrew followed Berry, criticiz-
ing the Philippine policy of the ad-
ministration. At 2 the financial bill
was temporarily laid aside to allow
Pettigrew to finish his speech and
afford WolcOtt, of Colorado, an OPP
portunitv to submit remarks on the
resolutions.
