.BEYERIDGE'S
GREAT SPEECH
in The SENATE
Was the Center Of Attraction in Con-
gress yesterday = Received
With Approval.
THEGALLERY CROWD LISTENED
With Amazement at the Young In
dianian's Mastsrful Presenta-
ton Of the Subject.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-"That man
little knows the common people of the
republic, little understands the instincts
Of our race, who thinks we Will not hold
1t (the Philippine archipelago fast and
hold 1t forever, administering just gov
ernment by simplest methods"
This sentence was the keynote Of the
speech delivered in the senate to-day
by Mr.. Beveridge, the junior senator
from Indiana. It was the maiden
speech in the senate of about the
youngest member Of the body. The
announcement that he would deliver an
address embodylng his observations in
the Philippines attracted an unusually
large number of auditors to the CALLER
les. on the floor of the senate every
member in the city was in his seat and
scores Of representatives came over
from the house. The occasion was in
spring and Mr.. Beverldge rose to 1T
brilliantly. His oration-for properly 1t
was an oration-was deeply interesting.
1t was replete with striking sentences
and well-arranged information.
Spoken, with all the earnestness, vigor
and eIoquence of a fine orator. enthusi-
astlc in his subject. who rose at times
to his subject with the power Of pas
slonate dramatic utterance. The speech
created profound impression upon all
who heard 1t.
Mr.. Beveridge Is scholarly and refined
in appearance.wlth a striking face and
figure. Throughout his speech he was
easy and natural and entirely free from
mannerisms. He spoke rapidly and
with great earnestness. When he de-
clared, with deep solemnlty, to those
whose voices In America have cheered
those misguided natives on to shoot our
soldiers down, that the blood Of those
dead and wounded boys of ours is on
their hands, and the flood Of years can
never wash that stain away" there was
q deep, although suppressed sensation
among his auditors. At the conclusion
of the speech tremendous and unre-
strained applause swept over the gal
leries, and 1t was notable that Secretary
Of the Treasury Gage, who occupied q
seat in>the senator's gallery, was a par
tlclpant in it.
Mr.. Hoar, Rep., Mass.), replied brief
iy to Mr.. Beverldge. Althoughhe did not
enter fully into the merits of the ques-
ton under discussion, he did not feel
that some OF the Indiana senator's
statements ought to go to the country
unchallenged. He declared that not
the American opposition to the war, but
the Presidents proclamation to the Fill
lpInos, was responsible for the hostll-
tiles. He rldlculed Mr.. Beverldge's
statement that the Filipinos were not
capable of self-government and quoted
General Otis reports to show that they
were.

On the Conduct Of the Varieties
and Newspapers Mad.
LONDON. Jan. 9.-Further news Of
General Whites victory is anxIously
awaited. as 1t is generally realized to-
day that there was little warrant for
the exultatlon which followed the an
nouncement OF his repulse OF the
Beers.
The remarkable revolution in Boer
tactics has been another complete sur
prise to the British, who had not reck-
oned on the weakened garrison of Lady
smith being subjected to such cOur-
ageous assault, and it Is realized that
General Whites troops cannot be ex-
pected TO greatly prolong such an ar
duous defense.
In some quarters It is considered un-
accountable that General Butler did
not press his attempt to effect pas
sage of the Tugela river. while the
Beers were engaged northwards, and
the comments on his apparent supine-
ness are in no wise complimentary.
From the Boer headquarters It is re-
ported that General Butler is construct
ing subsidiary railroad from the main
line to Colenso, westwardly in the di-
rectlon OF Potgieters drift.
Advices from the Modder river say
the Boers continue to extend their
works. and II ls estimated that 20 900
men are required to defend them.
The prisoners captured by the Cana
dlans and Queenslanders at sunnyslde
are going to Cape Town for trial as re.

The Canadians expressed intense in

Senator Depew acted as spokesman.
In accepting the tribute Admiral
Dewey thanked Senator Depew for his
gracious words and said he was over
powered BY this new proof Of the grati-
ture Of his countrymen. The gratitude
of the little ones. he said, pleased him
immenseIy,and he spoke feeIlngly of the
way they surround him on the street
and lisp out their pretty little compile
ments.
At the conclusion Of Admiral Dewey's
remarks the health of those who gave

glass will soon be quoted again at its
normal price. 1t is highly probable
that when the restoration has been ac.
complIshed not another advance will
follow. The cut of Ss leg per cent made
by the American Window Glass Com
pany. the combination, is to be called
OF. The slaughter of prices can be said
to be over and peace will reign in the
market This has been accomplished
by the formation Of an organization Of
the independent and cooperative
manufacturers held at the Hotel Linz
coin to-day.
The meeting was protracted one,
lasting until late at night. There were
about 74O out of possible $40 pots rep
resented. Only about % per cent Of the
cooperative plants took a hand in the
proceedings.
1t was decided to form selling agen-
cy to be known as the Independent
window Glass Manufacturers Assoc
citation. Each member of the new asso-
citation is to advance $25 for each pot
In his plant, and when he needs money
IS per cent of the value of his glass will
be advanced, and the glass sold by the
association. The new organization will
work In harmony with the American
window Glass Company.
Two agreements were drawn up and
signed. One was for those who had full
power to act, and another which con-
tained provisional clause giving time
to get the sanction of the stockholders
who have not yet taken action on the
proposition. All the agreements were
signed. 1t was decided to meet again
at the call of the president, which will
be within the next two weeks.

VERY SHORT OF AMMUNITION
After the Heavy BOmbardment and
Consequent Drain on
the Supply.

LONDON, Jan. 10, 4:3O a. m.-The
war Office has not contributed the least
particular as to what is taking place in
Natal since Sunday Neither has 1t al
lowed the dispatches of correspondents
70 get through. Consequently the facts
Of the situation are replaced by conjec-
tpres; and the lmpatience of the public
nours itself into a discussion of the
conduct of the war and of what might
have been done or ought now to be
done.
Demand All Troops Called Out.
The Morning Post demands that the
forces aheld, afioat and in preparation
shall be increased by 5000 men. To
this end, 1t urges that all the trained
men the country possesses, militia and
volunteers, shall be called out, assert
tnr incidentally, that. although the at
tltude of other powers is correct in the
automatic sense of the word, an invas-
,on II attempted, would be sudden, and
that now is the time to apprehend con-
tlngencIes
The Daily News editorially defines
the public opinion of the continent as
"ln state which should not be ignor-
ed"
l, calls for greater vigilance than
ever on the part of those responsible
for the efficiency of the navy" and
urges cautious, circumspect and busl-
ness.lIke diplomacy"
The Daily Mall says 1t understands
that the supercession of another gener-
al commanding in South Africa will
shortly be announced. This may have
relation to General Buffers hasty
summons from Davenport. 1t is re-.
ported that he came by special train
to London yesterday, and held a long
consultation with the headquarters
stan. This seems to indicate that his
advice. which only recently was In ex-
treme dIsfavor, is about to be utilized.
Critics Getting in Their Work.
Fhe critics range up and down the
entire field of war transactions. finding
fault especially with the lack of trans
ports for the troops who are ready to
depart, and with the concealment of
news, averrIug that the censorship in
South Africa embraces the mails; that
the reports Of correspondents are being
mutllated and entire letters suppress
ed.
Great BrItain's losses since the war
began are fast approaching 5000. A
war office compilation of casualties, IS
sued last evening, shows a total Of
72ls.-l.O27 killed; 3,675 wounded, and
2.5ll missing. These do not include
40 who have succumbed to disease, nor
the casualties at I.adysmith last Sat
urday.
The Daily Mail says:
with characteristic bad manners
the Transvaal authorities have refused
to allow Mr.. Hollis, the American rep
resentattve at Pretoria, to care for
British interests. This is an act with
out precedent in modern diplomatic
history"
