a result the importers pay duty on cons i'd

Mr.. MASON WANTS ACTION.
He Desires His Pro-Boer Resolution
Brought, Before the senate.

When the Senate convened yesterday a
resolution WIS offered by Mr.. Sullivan, de-
claring that the Philippine Islands, like
Porto Rico are the rightful property,
honorably acquired. Of the United States
of America, and that. while the misguided
Filipinos continue the present war,
brought On by them. no expression Of in
tention as to the future course Of the
United States with respect to them should
be made by the Senate.
Mr.. Sullivan asked that the resolution be
permitted to lie on the table until he
should call it up for discussion.
Mr.. Mason gave notice that at he close
of the morning hour today he viii move
that the committee on Foreign Relations
be discharged from further consideration
Of his resolution expressive of the Senate S
sympathy for the Beers in their struggle
with Great Britain.
He said he had introduced the resolution
on December 6, and that it has been in the
hands of tAe committee since that time
without notice being taken Of it.
Il have no intention" Mr.. Mason de-
clared. "of violating the rules of the Sen
ate. but it is clearly the intention OF the
Committee on Foreign Relations to take
no action 20 consider the resolution, and
want it brought into the Senate and placed
upon the calendar. The committee, he
continued, could give US a report If It
would II a majority of the committee is
opposed to the resolution, let them report
it adversely. That would be making some
progress l am satisfied that % per cent
OF the people Of the country are in sym
pathy with the Beers in their war with
Great Britain, and am just as certain that
a majority of this body would favor the
resolution | introduced. 1t is the Teres-
Child's play for US to sit here and not be
able to get a vote upon it
At the conclusion Of Senator Lodges
speech on the Philippines which appears
in another column, Mr.. Proctor remarked
that the time was appropriate for him to
read TO the Senate some extracts from let
ters addressed to him by Army and Navy
officers in the Philippines, and be proceed
ed to do so.
The first letter spoke Of the opposition
to the American troops melting away
and of Aguinaldo ard his few followers
being fugtives. "Aguinaldo.' it said. has
a great facility for Disgusting himself.
When made up as a Chinaman. I am told
the good Lord himself would not recognize
him"
The next letter was intended to show
that Americans were not responsible for
the outbreak in Manila a year ago.
The death Of Repres ntatye Earn er hav-
ing been announced in a message from the
House, the usual resolutions were offered
and agreed to, and Senators Penrose, Ma
son. Hansbrcugh Sullivan. and Scott were
appointed members of a joint committee
to attend the funeral. AS further
mark OF respect the Senate then. at 8 :45
o'clock, adjourned until today
