was in his blood.
The President was not vindictive, but
ci:.ply strenuous ana resembled in his
habits of speech a certain Tennessean q
horse, of which 1t was said that running
away was his natural gait. Mr.. Roose-
veit had habitually spoken of the Fiji
pinos as "savages," and "barbarians,"
and "Apaches." and these denunciations
had beer scattered broadcast throughout
the islands to infame the people against
the United States. The Presidents Ian
guage had been to harden and intensity
Filipino opposition to American rule.
Some of our military heroes had been
guilty of a like offense. He referred to a
recent speech of General Funston. whom
he described as the "jayhawker briga-
dier from the wind-swept plains. the
mightiest Samson that ever welded the
jawbone of an ass as weapon of war" +"
Mr.. Carmack said that death had cheated
Funston OF some illustrious victims like
ex-senator Sherman and ex-President
Harrison, but there were still enough to
keep him busy. Papers had quoted Fun

him to accept an invitation fiom the
jupIor Senator from Massachusetts to go
to Boston and talk to the people there
about hanging the senior Senator from
Ma ssach ~setts. but the plain truth was
that Funston could not hang ANYBODY.
Funston should go back to the Pnihppines

hemp and no execution.

proposed to make wholesale grant OF

of the peoples lands to foreign syndicates

asked, did they base their belief in the

spoke of the horrors of carpet-bag gov
ernment In the south, and said that 'the
Republicans gave no heed to the cry of
an oppressed and plundered people,
though they were people of their own
blood" He declared that from the very
first outbreak there had been a conspir-
acy to suppress the truth and whitewash
every outrage In the Philippines.
In conslusion he said he had not been
influenced In this matter by any low de-
sire for party advantage. He only wished

had ascended in safety and security to

THE HOUSE.
Washington, April 2o-The House today
passed 145 private pension bills, including
bills to pension the widow of the late
Gen. William Luuiow at $50 a month and
the widow of the late "Parson" Brown
low of Tennessee at $50 a month. The re-
maipder of the day was devoted to gen.
eral debate on the agricultural appropria-
ticn bill.
Mr.. Cochran of Missouri made a speech
on the universal spread OF trusts and
combines in this country and the ten
dency for curbing them. He declared that
corporation lobbyists were Republican in
Republican states and Democratic In
Democratic states, and that although
public sentiment demanded legislation 1t
could not be obtained. The trusts, he
said, contributed to both political parties
and tied their hands 1t was time for
some one to speak the truth. and he
warned the American people that no relief
could be hoped for until there was COM
plete enforcement of Legislatures and
Congress from corporation lobbyists and
influences.
At 4:55 D. m. the House adjourned.

Bryan and Mckinley in Accord.

In forynes delete he said. Mr.. Spooner
had charged thaf the minority had pros
.ituted the question to partisan purposes
and that Mr.. Bryan had seized upon 1t
TO force an issue with the administration.
Unfortunately for this argument the fact
was that Mr.. oryan had declared his po-
sition upon this question long before any
body knew what the policy of the admin
istration would be. At that time the
public utterances OF Mckinley and Bryan
were In exact accord and If the admnis-
tration had not reversed its policy there
would have been no difference between
them The Democrats in the Senate, he
insisted. had tried to remove the question
from party politics.
1t was now claimed that the civil au-
thority of the United States was su-
preme throughout the Philippines and 1t
was treason for a Democrat to express
an opinion. He cited. the public utterance
of President Mckinley and Mr.. Roose-
welt and speeches of Republican Senators
and quoted from the Democratic cam
paign book that a general policy Of
colonization and conquest was advertised
as Republican doctrine. The idea that

A NASHINGTON. April 25.-(Special)
EMR Few speeches delivered at this
~ session have attracted more at
tention than that of Senator Carmack Of
Tennessee today against the administra-
tion's Philippine government bill. The
Democrats pranQ .nce 1t the best presen-
tation of their side of the case yet adj
vanced In the Senate.
1t is considered by them especially
strong In that the burden of the respon-
sibilty for the f.,resent Filipino war is
transferred from Democratic orators to
the Republican opponents, who like Sem
ator Beveridge of Indiana have sought to
play upon American patriotism by in
discriminatory denouncing the Filipino as
a savage, a poor way, as Senator Car
mack pointed out today, to gain the good
opinion of those people.
The Senator excoriation of General
Funston, that blatherskite brigadier," as
he termed him, was especially enjoyable
to the Senators present, uding Sena-
tor Hoar, who has recenti been General
Funston's special target.
Senator carmack' Speech.
Mr.. Carmack said that mis- bill, like the
Philippine tariff pill, simply presented one
aspect of imperialism. 1t was not a ques-
ton only of framing just laws for the
Filipinos but a question of right to make
any laws whatever for that people.
THE claim of the Republicans said
he, rs that they had burned enough
towns, devastated enough country and
killed enough people to make good their
right. The land is ours because we have
strewn it with the ashes of It's homes and
drenched it with the blood of its people,.
Opponents of this policy deny that we
had derived any just powers of govern
ment from the subjugation of the gov
orned, and that was the real issue of this
debate

The Original sauesrs.

The grossest injury which Dickens
ever inflicted on fellow being was
his too accurate portrait Of an inno-
cent man in his Squeers. That York
shire schoolmasters were, as a rule,
cruel and wicked enough 1t is true, but
the particular schoolmaster who was
recognized and who recognized him
self as the original Squeers seems to
have been an exception to the rule.
1t will be remembered that Dickens
and his illustrator Travelled together
to the north Of England for the pur.
pose Of collecting material for Mick.
leby" and especially for the Dothe-
boys episode. At Great Bridge they
visited a boarding school known as
Bowes academy. The master, William
Shaw, received the strangers with
some hauteur and did not as much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation
of penmaking during the interview.
Phiz sketched him in the act; Boz
described the act. The personal pecul-
iarities of William Shaw were recog-
Dized in Squeers. Shaw became butt
of popular ridicule, lost his pupils and
finally died of broken heart. Yet
there Is abundant evidence to prove
that he was really excellent and kind
hearted man, who was made to suffer
for the misdeeds of his neighbors.-

That ants doctor their sick by hyp-
notism and magnetism is proved by OBJ
servation. An ardent student tells how
he witnessed what may be termed a
seance In medical science among ants.
He saw several of these little creatures
emerge from the hill and noticed that
there were some among them which
were weak and emaciated-invalids, in
fact. They were accompanied by
healthy members of the community,
and all made their way toward dis
amt mound.
On following their movements through
glass the observer saw on this mound
big and sturdy ant, which made some
motions in the direction of the advanc-
ing invalids. The latter went up the
mound, one by one, and submitted
themselves TO treatment. This consist
ed in the physician ant passing his feel
ers over the head and body of the pa
tient in manner distinctly suggestive
Of the hypnotizing of nerves and mus
Giles practiced by human doctors. Ev.
cry one went through the treatment;
then the patients went back, and the
doctor marched Off in the opposite d.

made cynical, began to guy him. II
was easy to stir up his anger, for they
Chartered scandal about a woman he
knew. He pulled over the table and
struck one Of the men. The next day
he received challenge. In good faith
he selected two good clubmen as his
seconds. In all this the club fellows
saw only a joke, and when the ar,
rangements were hurried and the two
opponents stood face s-.~~ - .. .--~.-A

and fell to the ground grooming.
Hes fatally wounded-dying!' the
seconds exclaimed, choking with laugh

De Castellane felt the heart In him
run away like water. He had killed a
man. 1t was not possible!
Dead" he asked anxiously.
"Yes," said the corpse and sat up
grinning.
The schoolboy looked at the laughing
clubmen and saw the joke they had
played on him. He stopped and caught
the corpse by the ankle. dragged 1t a
bit and with sudden jerk tossed 1t
ten feet into the river.
'Then I'll bury It," said he.
As the clubman crawled from the
river, dripping mud and water, they de-
