PRIMITIVE LANGUAGE OF CRETE

Scholars are interested in the recent
discoveries in Crete made by Mr.. Carr
Bosanquet of the British School at
Athens in the course of excavation at
PTaesos, on the central plateau OF
Crete, and at Petras, on the north
coast. Homer, among others, .ells OF
the Eteocretans. a people who o.
cupied the island before the Greek en-
mig ants or conQuerors, arrived.
Praesos in historic times was their
chief center, and it was reasonably
hoped that excavations would bring to
light traces of the civilization of the
Eteocretans, together with that of the
later Mycenaean epoch. One specimen
Of the primitive language had already
been found in the neighbOrhood of
Praesos. An inscription II lines long
in a non Hellenic language
ably EteOcretan-Was in fact found by
Mr. Bosanquet. 1t was in Greek char
acters of the fifth century Z. G. A
mile from the town various objects of
the Mycenaean period were found,
among them a beehive tomb and other
tombs containing many vases of var
ious periods.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20.-The
senate devoted nearly it's entire ses-
sion to the Philippine question. Mr..
Patterson of Colorado, one of the mi
nority members of the Philippine
committee, delivered his first ex-
tended speech and discussed princi-
pally the sedition laws enacted by the
Philippine commission, vigorously at
lacking the authority of the commits
sion to enact and enforce such laws.
He maintained that congress alone
had the power to put in force enact
ments of that character. He COM
pared information furnished by the
executive departments of the govern
ment with some of the statements of
Governor Taft in his testimony before
the Philippine committee with respect
to the capabilities of the Philippine
people, and declared with some heat
his belief that Governor Taft mis-
represented the true situation in the
islands for motives unknown. He as
serted that if the 100000 Christians
in the Philippines were Protestant
them by the American authorities
would have to stop, as no member of
congress would be able to withstand
the wrath of the Methodists, Baptfsts,
and Presbyterians of this country. Mr.
Nelson of Minnesota presented a
legal and constitutional argument in
support of this governments action in
L on nd eIo
ly criticised Mr.. Patterson for inject
ing into the controversy the question
of sectarianism. Mr.. McCumber of
North Dakota urged that congress
should not bind the future now by a
declaration of a definite policy re-
garding the Philippines, as it was de-
sirable that all possible information
should be in hand before a permanent
policy was determined upon.
The house spent the day working on
the Indian appropriation bill. Forty
two of the G2 pages were disposed of.
Several amendments were adopted
but none OF much Importance. An
appropriation for the preliminary
work on reservoir Tor the ella river
valley went out on pOlnC VI OluS1'
Mr. Smith of Arizona offered an
amendment to strike out the appro-
priation for the Carlisle school and it
became the text for general on
slaught on the practice of educating
Indians in eastern schools His
amendment was defeated. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald of New York made an attack
on the superintendent of the school at.
Mount Pleasant, Mich, who he said,
was charged with permitting the de-
bauching of Indian girls. Mr.. Sher-
man, chairman of the Indian COM
mittee, promised to make an investi-
cation.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The senate
continued consideration of the Philip
pine tariff bill, the main speeches
being made by Senators Burrows of
Michigan for the bill and Money of
Mississippi against it. although Nit
chell of Oregon, Foraker of Ohio,
Mallory of Florida and Tillman Of
South Carolina all took more or less
part in the general debate on the
subject. Senator Borrows maintain
ed that congress was dealing with
the question as it was today and not
with any reference to what took
place in the past or might take place
in the future. He maintained that
the United States occupancy of the
islands was with due regard to in
ternational obligations.
Again in the house the general
debate on the Indian appropriation
bill was devoted almost entirely to
extraneous topics The issue raised
by Mr.. Wheeler of Kentucky few
days ago came in for considerable
attention and was the feature of the
session. Mr.. Bromwell (rep.) OF
Ohio, Mr.. Kern (dem) of Illinois
and Mr. Fleming (dem.) of Georgia
added their views to the literature
on the subject, but it was Mr. Boutell
(rep) of Illinois who entertained the
house most He was well fortified
with material and with exceeding
good temper and trenchant dis
play of wit he traced the history of
what Wheeler had called "truculent
sycophancy," as he said, from the
day when the first democratic preSi-
dent purchased a bogus coat of arms
to the entertainment Of Queen
Liloukalina by the last democratic
president. He finally dismissed the
whole subject by saying it should be
! accepted abroad as one of the
"erratic and sporadic phases OF
American humor"

ing the insular policy of the adj

over the territory when once raised.
Mr.. Spooner suggested that all these
senators had voted to send troops to
the Philippines to put down the in
surrection. He said the minority
had supported bills from the army
knowing that the army was to De
used in the Philippines and for the
very purpose for which the army was
now being used, although they now
advocated the withdrawal of troops.
The allegations that Aguinaldo had
been promised independence had
been denied by those who were said
to have made them.
The house passed the Indian APP
preparation bill No amendments of
Importance were attached The
mouse passed a resolution providing
for the investigation of Warden
Nardin's relations to the Shoshone
Indian school. Mr.. Kleberg (dem. of
Texas), who is a German, made a
brief speech, deprecating any at
tempt to make political capital out
OF the coming visit of Prince Henry.
He said the United States should ax-
tend to him and to the great nation
which he represents a hearty well
come and true American hospitality

that the senators clearly could not
