PRIESTS OPPOSE FEDERALISTs.
Will Refuse to Administer the Sacra-
 ments to Them.


 Manila, Feb. 25.-Rev Father Me- Kfnnon, who was formerly private sec retary to Mgr. Chappelle and who is
 now pastor of the Ermita Catholic church, informed a representative of The Associated Press to-day that there were upwards of 300 native priests in the Philippines opposed to the Federal party and that these would refused to administer the sacrament to Federal ists, because they believed the Federal party to be merely cloak for Protest ant attempts to weaken the power of the Church of Rome. He referred to the Federal party as resting on an in- secure foundation and destined to crum- ble soon,' and asserted that the Meth odist and Presbyterian missionaries were using unfair means to induce Filipinos to leave the Catholic faith. He assailed the character of Senor Buencamino and other evangelical lead CTS and contended that only by secur- ing the cooperation and good will of the padres could the Americans make permanent progress in the Philippines. Senor Tavera, president of the Federal party, when the views of Father Me- Kinnon were brought to his attention, replied "So much the better, as it will bring the matter to an issue"

INSULAR LEG ISLATION.
Real Struggle Begins in Senate-senatOr
 Morgan Opens Attack.

Heal struggle Begins In Senate-senatOl
 Morgan Opens Attack.
 Washington, Feb 25.-The real strug- gle for insular legislation at this ses- sion began to-day in the Senate. The army appropriation bill was under dis- cussion and the Philippine amendment was reached. Tn addition to Cuba amendment was offered and the general Hebate on these propositions began. MT. Pettus presented written state 1nent raising a point of order against the committee amendment conferring authority upon the president to pro- vide civil government for the Philip pines. The president pro tenn, MT. Frye, submitted the point to the Sen ate and the amendment was decided to be in order by vote of 39 to 23.
 Senator Morgan made an extended speech severely criticising the proposed legislation. An evening session was held to allow time to continue the de- bate. Resuming his speech in the even- ing, MT. Morgan declared that the Phil ippine amendment was in effect an ab- dication of power by congress and a turning over to the executive branch of complete and final authority over the Philippines. It was such transfer of power as the British parliament would never dream of conferring on King Ed ward
 At 10:15 MT. Morgan's colleague from Alabama, MT. Pettus moved an ad- journment but on a yea and nay vote the motion was defeated, 43 to 6. The Senate's refusal to adjourn compelled MT. Morgan to go on with his speech As he resumed he referred with some feeling to the apparent effort to dra- goon this measure through, despite all the proprieties. After an arduous and lengthy session beginning at Il o'clock this morning MT. Morgan said the Sen ate had attempted to force an old man to go on with his speech.
 "But,' he added speaking with im- pressive deliberation, "I would rather leave this chamber a dead man than to leave 1t coward It would be a plain abandonment of duty, he said, if he should skulk because of his age or the ,ateness of the hour. MT. spooner tried to gain recognition to ask MT. Morgan as to his plans. But the venerable sen- ator waved him off and declined to yield. At 1:2O p. m. MT. Morgan yield ed to Mir. Spooner for a motion to ad- journ and the long session came to a close.

ADDRESS OF WHITELAW REID
CHEN BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE
 OF YALE MEN LAST NIGHT.

 Besides the undergraduates a large representation of the faculty was pres ent among them being ex-President Timothy Dwight and Anson Phelps Stokes, jr., secretary of the Yale corpo- ration. President Hadley was un- 1 avoidably absent, being away on a western trip. and Whitelaw Reid was introduced by Dr. George P. Fisher, of the Yale theological school.
 speaker announced that this was the first course given under the Bromley foundation, the subject of the lectures being public affairs, literature and Journalism, mot pugilism, as, believe, one of our journals stated" The lec- tureship was given by Mrs. Adelaide E. Bromley as memorial to her husband, the late Isaac H. Bromley, of the class of Yale 'S3, and many years ago an as- sociate editor under Whitelaw Reid on the New York Tribune. Isaac H. Bron- ley was the father Of Major Isaac Bromley of this city. Professor Fisher introduced the speaker f1ttingly as man well known to all by name and fame, and recalled the distinguished services which the latter has rendered to this country.
 The address of Hon. \Whitelaw Reid was substantially as follows:
 "The old saying. let me make the songs of people and I care not who makes the laws,' is out of date now,'' the lecturer said ''as completely as the Ptolomies. Where is the song writer to-day, compared with the reporter? Who is there who does not read the newspapers? What song, what speech, what scripture, what other utterance of any kind unfailingly gets attention every day? Some adequate comprehen- sion of this tremendous fact in modern life was no doubt the motive for found- ing these lectures intended to deal with newspapers and the questions they raise"
 The founder of the course, Mr. Brom- ley, was referred to as follows T shall not detain you to speak of the rare quality of his writing, of his inimitable wit or of his lovable personality But there is one incident in his service
