Mr.. Carmack stunned his speech on
the Philippine Government bill, which hs
began yesterday. He read Professor.
Schurman's criticism of the bill to show
Professor Schurulan believed that this
Philippine Government should be admin
istered for the Filipinos. By the terms
OF the pending bill he said, the Islands
| were for the Ffiipinos as the pasture waa
for the sheep-they lived and browsed
there in order to raise wool for others to
wear and mutton for others to eat
.If the carpet-bag government yocs
propose to establish in the Philippines, "
| he cried. sis not a thousand times better
| than that which you established In your
| own country after the Civil War. Lord
| God have mercy upon the people OF those
| Islands. .
| Mr. Carmack referred TO the cabied res
ports from Manila that General Smith
| had acknowledged he had stven orders to
make Samar a bowling wilderness and to
| kill all over ten. as horrible beyond tbs
| description OF words. The programme, he
said. was to practice unheard OF barfaTt-
i ties in the slaughter OF the inhahita1ts.
and to have the torch complete the tsTorf
| of slaughter
..When the aind is without a home and
| the country without a people. the worct
| .pacified' will be written upon the TOMB
stone OF the province of Samar.
| SYSTEMATIC CONCEATAfENT.
| From the very outbreak OF hostiltfiss
! in the Philippines, he declared. there had
| been a. systematic concealment OF the
| truth which was now coming out. It was
| now known, he said, that 10000 peopfa
] had persisted in province containing SO.-
! eco Inhabitants and yet the people OF the
United States knew nothing OF II until
recently. The civil government stablisaesf
| by this bill. he predicted, would result IN j
/ every rect1rrenr insurrection to be pus
| down by our blood and treasure What
| for? In order that q few rapsealtlon0
and carpet basgers might have unlimited
! license TO tiieye and plumber. s
I L
attention to a report that an American
| corporation. which proposed to raise rub
| Der trees in AIindanao with the Dastos
| for slave labor and he had read al
amendment he proposed TO offer prohf0.s
/ itins the grant of any franchise to per-
/ sons or corporations which proposed tn
employ slave labor. He asked Mr.. Lodgs5
/ if the amendment would be agreeable to
/ him.
.I cannot speak for the commit tee,
| replied Mr.. Lodge ..for myself. 1t IS per-
| fectly agreeable TO me-
He also gave notice of another amend
/ rnent he was going TO offer to prohibit tbs
| entry OF the Philippines as States OF tha
/ Union, and for Mr.. Lodges opinion. but
| the latter declined to reply catesorically.
but Mr. Deliver. of Iowa, asked Mr. Car.
| mack to define his own position. having
first fnveighed against holding the Islands,
| In perpetual despotism and being now
soIicitious lest they be admitted as States
1 Mr. Carmack responded that his OWL
! position was clear While the capet-bHg-
gers and others were piundcrins and set
