PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS-
WHAT IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS WEEK

Senator Hoar Makes a Notable Speech in the
senate-Hosea B. Moulton, a vermonter,
Urged for the Vacant Seat on Supreme
Rench, D. C.-Considei alton of the Subject
of a Remedy for Lynchings.
A notable contribution to the dis
c~ussion of the Philippine question was
made in the Senate Thursday by Mr..
Hoar of Massachusetts. He attacked
the policy pursued by the United
States in the Philippines, and was at
I'tentively listened to, for over two
hours. by a large audience, every sen
ator in the capital being in his seat.
Although his hearers were mostly
without sympathy for his views he
held them by his mastery of the En-
glish language, the loftiness of his pur-
pose. and by the veneration in which
he is held by his associates. Pro
nounced and spontaneous applause
broke forth at the conclusion of the
speech, Mr.. Teller of Colorado deliv-
cred a speech which was in the nature
of a history of the legislative proceed
ings through which the new Cuban
republic was created. The House re-
sumed discussion of the immigration
bill. Almost the entire day was taken
up with the amendment requiring an
educational test for immigrants to this
country. 1t was adopted. The House
disagreed to the amendments of the
Senate to the omnibus public building
bill and it was sent to conference.
y temperate and carefully prepared
speech was delivered in the Senate
Friday on the Philippine bill by Mr..
Dubois of Idaho. He confined himself
almost entirely to a discussion of the
commercial and industrial aspects of
the Philippine question, his purpose
being to show that it would be a dis
advantage to the people of this coun-
try to retain the islands. He also held
that this governments activity in the
Philippines would arouse China and
that ''the dragon would devour the
trade of the world. Mr.. Beveridge
of Indiana, in answer, contended that
the development of China's resources
would be of advantage in trade and
commerce to the United States. as the
industrial development of other ma
tions had been. The House devoted
the day to private pension bills and to
a few other minor measures.
The Senate devoted its attention
Monday to discussion of the Philip
pines and.of the resolution providing
that the judiciary committee of the
Senate make an investigation into the
subject of lynchings in the United
with a view of ascertaining
whether there is any remedy for
them. The House spent the day in con
sideration of business connected with
the District of Columbia.
The House Tuesday passed the Shat
tue immigration bill. The feature CT
the day was a lively debate on the
question of prohibiting the sale of in
toXicating liquors at immigration sta
tions. 1t was p~recipitated by an amend
ment to prohibit such sale, which was
by So to Is. This victory was
followed with an amendment to pro-
hibit the sale of intoxicants in the cap
ltol. and it prevailed by a still larger
naiority-l0S to 10. The bill brings
into one act all the PRACTICAL
legislation heretofore enacted in regard
o the immigration of aliens into the
States.

Lord Pauncefote, ambassador ex-
Great Britain to the United States,
died at Washington Saturday of govt,
complicated with stomach and liver
Wednesday in St. Johns Episcopal
church and the body will be placed
temporarily in a receiving vault at
Rock creek cemetery. The funeral
will be of a state character. Sir Ju-
liam Pauncefote was born in 1928 and
was appointed British minister TO the
United States in 1889. When the rank
of the office was advanced to that of
embassy in 1893 he "a made ambas-
sador, a position he has held c%ontinu-
ously since. The Behring Sea nego-
tiations were among his earliest works
of Importance, followed by the great
accomplishments of The Hague. and
also a number of reciprocity treaties
involving much study and work. Soon
Secretary Hay assumed office,
Pauncefote began the study of the
questions growing out of the old Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, the result being the
of the Hay Pauncefote treaty
recently ratified. For these services
the British government did P~auncefote
the honor to three times extend his
term at Washington. which would
otherwise have ceased when he attained
the g of 20. The government has
rendered to Great Britain the use of
American warship to convey the
body and family of the late ambassa-
to England. The journey will not
made until after the coronation.

Some years ago a marble sculptor
had his place of business on Penn ave-
nue. nca Ninth street. A business man
lost his wife. and he ordered a tomb
stone for her grave from the sculptor.
1t was TO he a life size study of her.
The figure was finished in due time and
placed in the cemetery.
Severa! years passed, and the figure
had not been paid for. The sculptor
was a man of business, not given TO
sentiment, and he took the figure out
of the cemetery, placing II on exhioi-
ton in a window at his place of bust
ness. 1t naturally attracted a good deal
of attention, and one day a woman in
passing stopped to look at it. She rec
ognized the figure. but to make certain
went in and asked the sculptor and
found that she was correct.
The woman shook her head and said
sadly, "Ah. Mary Jane was always a
vain %critter. but l never though she
would go this far."-Pittsburg Press.
