had under consideration last night Repre-
sentative Blount's bill to amend chapter
3S4 public laws of 1899 This bill pro-
vides for the striking out OF the word
passenger in the regulation compell-
ing railroad companies to make separate
provision for whites and blacks.
Mr.. II. W. Miller appeared for 8, the
Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast
Line. He represented that it would work
hardship TO compel the companies to
have an additional car or divided car
on freight trains. as the load-carryng
capacity would thus be lessened, which
materially affects the profits of the COM
ncnies.
Mr.. Blount said his purpose was to put
all trains under the supervision of the
Railroad Commission. He wanted TO fix
it SO that no white woman OF child should
ever again be compelled to ride in the
same car with negroes. THAT was the
platform on which was elected to this

Arthur had been Only little more frank

stating an existing condition which would
surely have a terrible reaction.
Mr.. Teller gave instances OF the cruel
ty of the allied armies in China declar-
ing that it constituted an impeachment
of the methods or Christian civiliZa-
ton. the outrages of foreign footing be-
ing Infinitely greater than the outrages
of The Boxers.
Mr.. Teller characterized the Philippine
iriars as the vilest of the vile. And yet
the Philippine Commission had put this
obnoxious class in charge of all the
schools of the island. The Senator COM
mented on General MacArthurs extreme
course in deporting newspaper editor
from Manila. and Mr. Hoar interjG>ted
that one of the, charges the American
colonists against George III was the de-
porting of men beyond seas.
Mr.. Butler made parting protest
against the bill. saying he believed a
resistance by every recourse under par
liamentary usage would be justified.
Mr.. Hale made severe arraignment, of
the conferees saying they had dared to
lay their hands on the bill as passed by
the two houses and had deliberately in
serted new provisions and therefore he
would not vote for the report.
The vote was then taken, and the con-
ference report was agreed to 33 TO 20,

OR PHILIPPINE DUTY.

II may safely be believed that Agui-
nald0's proclamation to the Filipino PEG
pie acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty OF the United States. marks
the beginning OF Il new and tranquil era
in the long troubled archipelago and
promises to the American Government
the early and satisfactory solution OF
the PHILIPPINE problem.
The especially gratifying feature Of
the AguinaldO proclamation i that this
patriot leader seems To have recognized
the truth that American domination
means for the Filipinos something in
finitely different from the Spanish oom-
ination. This is indicated in the terms
of his reference TO this Government as
an irresistible force, which. while il re
strains his people, yet enlightens their
minds and opens TO them another course
Presenting them the cause Of peace.
IL i also to b. noted that Aguinaldo
clearly sees, and frankly confcsses. that
the tilipinos are aire idy beginning to
