Washington, Jan. 31.-In the senate
Senator Morgan of Alabama de-
voted particular attention in a lengthy
speech to the amendment he offered
last week to the Philippine tariff bill.
He maintained that the enactment of
the bill as it stands would not be a
constitutional remedy for the situation
that the measure is designed to re-
lieve. but said that with the adoption
of his amendment the bill would stand
the closest scrutiny of the courts The
Alabama senator did not discuss DO
litical phases of the Philippine ques-
ton, devoting his entire speech to
the consideration of legal and con
stltutional questions raised Dy the
tariff measure.
Washington, Feb 1.-The house
prepared itself against what it con
siders threatened invasion by the
senate of its prerogative in the mat
ter of revenue legislation by direct
ing the ways and means committee to
investigate the subject and report to
the house its conclusions. The action
was the outgrowth of agitation in the
senate of claim that reciprocity
treaties affecting customs revenues
can be negotiated without the con-
currence of the house. Congress-
man Richardson, the minority leader.
sought to have the house adopt a
declaration on the subject yesterday
without waiting for the senate to COM
init an overt act, but the majority
leaders opposed hasty action and his
resolution was referred to the ways
and means committee Several pri-
vate claims bills were passed, among
them one to pay S15,S45 to persons
who sustained damage by the explo-
sion of ammunition in a chest at
Battery F second United States artil-
lery, in Chicago, July 16, 1894.

hostilities at that time were averted.
One of the sharpest colloquies of the
session was between Senator Spooner
of Wisconsin and Senator Tillman of
South Carolina. The race problem,
involving the lynching of negroes, was
interjected into a controversy and
much feeling was manifested by both
senators, In the course of the colo
guy Senator Spooner declared that II
the same rule were to be applied to
the colored people of the Philippines
as Senator Tillman referred to in the
south then God help the colored man
in the Philippines" said Mr.. Spooner.
God help them in the Philippines
now" shouted the South Carolina
senator, passionately. You have al
ready butchered in three years three
times as many as the Spaniards did N
three centuries
1T is one thing retorted Senator
Spooner, ito kill men with arms in
their hands against the government
and against the flag. 1t is another to
burn them"
Washington. Jan. 29-For an hour
the senate had under discussion the
question whether censorship of press
dispatches exists in Manila While
no such turbulent scenes as Tuesdays
were enacted, the debate for time
was very spirited. The secretary of
war was quoted as saying that no
press censorship now existed in the
Philippines and letter from General
Greedy, chief signol officer, was pre-
scented by Senator Beveridge of
Indiana, making the statement official
ly that there was no censorship of press
dispatches and that the press is entire
ly free. 1t was contended by the OPP
position that press censorship did
exist in the Philippines and copies of
every news dispatch filed with the
military authorities. That, it was
maintained. constituted virtual cen
sorship. Senator Cullom, chairman
of the committee on foreign relations,
delivered an extended and carefully
prepared speech on the history of
reciprocity negotiations.
The house adjourned after being in
session twenty-five minutes. Mr..
Hopkins of Illinois reported the per-
manent census bill and gave notice
that he would call it up today. The
request to make the oleomargarine
bill a special order for next Monday
was objected to on the democratic
side.

the customs officers make the
classification or determine the du-

AS TO the assertion that mer-

New York because of the lower

wer to say that there is either in

tion at the other ports.
