NO PROFIT IN THE ISLANDS.
Mr.. Dubois Argues Against Retention
Of the PhiIinpires.

Washington. May pa temperate
and carefully prepared speech was de-
livered in the senate yesterday cn the
Philippine bill by Mr.. Dubois. of Idaho.
He confined himself almost entirely to
discussion of the commercial aE0 in
dustriai aspects of the Philippine Ques-
ton, his purpose being 10 show that 1t
would be disadvantage to the people
of this country to retain the islands.
Whatever of profit there might be in
them, he said, would accrue to few
capitalists who, by their development of
the resources of the archipelago thru
cheap labor, would come into compe-
tition with the agriculturists and man
ufacturers of the United States in the
markets of the world. This govern
ment's activity in the Philippines also
would serve to arouse China from her
lethargy and, once aroused the dragon
would devour the trade of the world.
An earnest and forcible reply to Mr..
Dubois was made by Mr.. Beveridge, of
Indiana, who contended that the de-
of China's resources would
be of advantage in trade and commerce
TO the United States, as the industrial
of other nations had been.

Iowa Congressman Prevents Action on
One of New Workers. Bills.
Washington, May 24.-The house de-
voted the day to private pension bills
and to few other minor measures. Mr.
Loud. of California, criticised the spe-
cial pension legislation as n disgrace
and drew emphatic responses from
Messrs. Sulloway, of New Hampshire,
Sulzer, of New York and Miers, of In
diana. In all los private pension bills
We're passed.
A spirited contest occurred between
Messrs. Sulzer, of New York and Hull,
of Iowa, when the latter sought to de-
feat one of Mr.. Suffers relief bills to
remove the charge of desertion against
Michael Mullett The New York mem
Der declared that Mr.. Hull, as chair
man of the military committee, was
seeking to punish him for vote on one
of the military bills. Mr.. Hull denied
any such purpose and asserted thar Mr..
Suffers relief bill was without merit
and had been reported as q personal ia
vor, and when the house sided with Mr..
Sulzer Mr.. Hull prevented final ac-
tion by raising the point of no quorum.
The house then adjourned until Mon
day

PROOF AGAINST THE PACKERS.
Bids on Indian SUPPLIES Betray the Beef
Trust,

Trust.
Washington, May 24-Officials al
the Indian bureau have added thei,
mite to the testimony against the beef
| trust The contracts which the bureau
| has awarded for beef for the Indian
schools throw some light on the prices
of beef in the cattle country. These
contracts were opened in Chicago in
April, and the men who secured them
begin furnishing the meat after July
1. The figures named in the bids
made by the trust were uniformly high,
while those made by outside dealers
were reasonable. AS a result the out
side men received most of the con-
tracts.
Altho the trust is charging wholesale
butchers between 10 and IL cents a
pound for meat, its members offered to
sell to the government at an average
price of sS,25 per hundred pounds. The
lowest bid submitted by a dealer who
is outside of the trust was $500 hum
dred pounds.
All the beeves which are sold to the
government at this price must have all
necks, shanks and tallow trimmed off.
Net beef must be good in quality and
condition, fit for immediate use, and
from fore and hind quarter meat, pro-
portionately, including all the best cuts
thereof. Butchers are forced TO pay
the high price for the carcasses just as
they come from the packing house.
Shanks, necks and tallow are weighed
in to the butcher and the shrinkage is
so great that by the time he frees the
. n
ribs and other choice cuts must be re-
tailed at from 25 to 40 cents in order to
let him out with q profit.
While some of the bids contained
prices which were almost up to the
present wholesale price, they are a
great deal cheaper than that now
charged butchers, because there is lit
tie or no waste meat contained in the
cuts furnished to the government.
THE bids" said one of the officials
at the Indian bureau, ARE significant,
because they show that the beef trust
Is charging higher prices than those
who are outside of it. 1t certainly costs
the trust less to slaughter and dress
the meat because of the superior facili-,
ties of its members, and the truss
packers are able to buy the meat on the
hoof at O much less price. OF course
many of the Indian schools are near
the cattle ranges, and that would have
an effect on the price because of the
saving in the freight, but still in those
cases where the schools were remote
from the supplies the trust was high
est.
1.-The contracts also show the falsity
of the allegations of the members OF
the trust regarding the price of beef on
the hoof For one of the sub-agencies
in Colorado good beef on the hoof was
offered in large quantities at SS.l9
pounds

SAFER IHAN CHICAGO.
Bishop Thoburn Declares Hong
Kong is Better Governed
Than Illinois City.
Metropolis OF the Far East is
a Model OF Municipal
Control.
Bids for United States Indian
Supplies Besray the Beef
Trust.

Washington, May 24.-Bishop Tho
burn of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and who has for forty three
years been stationed in the far east,
Il better governed city, and that human
life was safer there, than in Chicago
The bishop was a witness before the
senate committe on the Philippines,
He was examined about various phases
of the situation and especially as to
the rights of the United States to DOM
mate the Philippine islands. He said
in reply to one question that chaos
would result if England were to with
vanced civilization in the far east.
Hongkong and other places had been
made great points of commerce.
Bishop Thoburn expressed the opin-
ion that the greater protection to per-
sonal rights in Hongkong than in Chi
cago is due to the fact that the gov
eminent has a stronger arm in Hong
kong than in Chicago.
"As a matter of fact" he said, I'VE
all know that in Chicago man is not
safe in walking the streets at night.
while he is so in Hongl1ong."
The bishop expressed the opinion
that Aguinaldo could not have subju-
gated the islands If left alone in his
rebellion aginst Spain. He also said
that there would have been civil war
in the Philippines in case Aguinaldo
had been victorious in his war with
the United States.
The matter of the witness opinion as
to our right by force to subjugate an
other people was gone into at length
by Senator Culberson, and when the
witness said
IF you refer to the Philippine islands,
would say that we have not subju-
Gated them; they came TO us by treaty."
the senator asked: Don't you know
that at the time of the war with Spain
the Filipino people We're in revolt
against the Spanish government"
THAT was true at Manila, but not
elsewhere"
We'll, then. don't you think that the
consent of the people themselves should
have bene secured before we assumed
the responsibility of their government
Il don't think it safe to make any
effort to get their consent until affairs
are better established than at present.
The average Filipino would not know
what to say il approached on the sub
ject. If he should speak out for Ameri
can rule he is liable to have his throat
cut"
Senator Carmack--And if he sreaks
against American rule he will put in
Jail.
20, no"
Senator Carmack asked a number of
questions concerning the comparative
success of American missionaries in |
Asia. The bishop replied that he did |
not consider the ir success due entirely |
to the fact that heretofore the United /
States has not been, & nation of con-
quest and declared it was due largely |
to the popular manners of the Ameri-
cans. They are, he said, less pompous.
In China, the Americans, have, he said,
always been popular, and they are be-
coming more so since the Chinese war.
Dur soldiers there had behaved better
han the forces Of any other nation ex-
,ept Japan.
