R. R. Cable Talks About Rock Island
Extension.

Chicago, June e.-R. r. Gable. chairman
of the board Of directors of the Rock Is
land road has stated that no new definite
plans have been adopted for the further
extension of the system. The amendment
to the constitution decided upon at the
recent board meeting is merely for the
purpose of enabling the directors to avail
themselves of any opportunities that may
present themselves of advantag geously ex-
tending the system. The probabilities are
that the construction of a through line
from FL Paso to the Pacific coast will be
one Of the first enterprises undertaken un-
der the enlarged powers provided by the
stockholders. There is certainly idea
of allowing the system to rest where it is
at present.

SENATORS CLASHED.
Dolliver and Carmack Then
Shook Hands and Laughed
- Over TIE Encounter.
LATTER CALLED TO ORDER.
Burton Referred to cruelties In other
Wars-carmack Called Gen. Smith
"Scoundrer' AID "Murderer."-Ve3t
Told Of Hampton Roads Conference

Washington, May 9.-Discussion Of
the Philippine bill in the senate yes
terday, while it .sc..rcely abated in
bitterness, took on an amusing
phase. In breezy speech Mr.. Dolli
yer, of Iowa, made such a good
natured and yet such sarcastic ar
raignment Of Mr.. Carmack, of Ten
nessee, that senators and occupants
of the thronged galleries We're con-
vulsed with laughter. While, seem
ingly, considerable temper was arous-
ed by the debate, good feeling was
shown by the active participants in
the war of words-Mr. Dolliver and
Mr.. Carmack-who cordially shook
hands and laughed over the encoun-
ter.
Atrocities In Other Wars.
Mr.. Burton, of Kansas, concluded
the speech which he began Wednes-
day. He referred, as instances. Of
atrocious cruelty to the battle Of
Wounded Knee, to the Mountain
Meadow massacre and to the massa-
ere of Union soldiers at Fort Pillow,
and contended that the action Of the
American troops in the Philippines
was, in most instances, entirely with
in the regulations of civilized war
fare.
In response to some statements
made Wednesday by Mr.. Tillman, Mr..
Vest, of Missouri, delivered force
full and effective speech and made an
historical contribution with reference
to the Hampton Roads conference be-
tween President Lincoln and Confed-
crate leaders.
He denied that Lincoln offered
the southern leaders everything they
wanted, to save the Union.
He said the Confederate leaders de-
manded the absolute independence Of
the southern confederacy and Lincoln
refused. The conference was then
ended.
He gave Reagan, Hunter and
Stevens as his authorities, and also
said that he was a member of the
Confederate senate when the report
was made, and pointed out that he is
the only surviving member of that
body.
Called Smith a Murderer.
Mr.. Carmack delivered a scathing
denunciation of the conduct of mill
tary operations in the Philippines, and
denounced General Smith, branding
him as a sscoundrel" and murderer"
who had dishonored the American
army and had done nothing but
butcher whole people
In a sarcastic response, Mr.. DolH
yer, Of Iowa, scorchingly arraignod
Mr.. Carmack, incidentally reading an
editorial from the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal, criticising the Tonnes
Sc ean's attitude on the Philippine
question. Mr.. Carmack's reply was
of such a nature as to cause him to
be called to order for a statement
rejecting upon Mr.. Dolliver, but the
incident ended in good feeling.
