NO JURY SYSTEM
IN PHILIPPINES
Governor Taft Tells Senate
of Legal Procedure.
SPANISH PLAN WAS ACCEPTED
Assessors Appointed Who Passed on
question of Facts - COnStnbuIary
an Important Element in Paciaca-
ton of Our Pacific Possessions.

Governor Taft, president OF the Com
mission which constitutes the civil gov
eminent of the Philippine Islands. ap-
peared again yesterday before the Senate
fhiiippine Committee and took up the
story of the efforts that are being made to
put down the instruction and to establish
peace and good government in the archi-
pelago.
This was the tenth day of his narrative,
Which he has been giving in a rather
pleasant conversational manner. He took
up the question of the pacification of the
islands and told what the Commission
had done in the way of establishing courts
of justice, the islands being. for that pur-
pose, formed into fourteen judicial dis
tricts.
No Jury System.
Instead of a jury system, which did not
apply either in civil or criminal cases. the
Commission had adopted the Spanish plan
of having assessors appointed by the
Judges, who sit with the judge and
pass upon the question of facts. The jury
system, he said. would cause corruption
and injustice; and the plan of assessors
eating the people up to a belief in the
possibility Of justice.
One important element in the pacica-
tion of the islands, Governor Taft said,
was the constabulary-a civil, not a mill
tary, force-stationed in four districts,
oificered by one chief and four assistant
chiefs, and costing $1,000, 800 a year. In
addition to the constabulary there was
also what was known as the municipal
police.
Plan Never Tried.
Being asked as; to what he thought of
the proposition 20 employ native soldiers,
with native officers. and whether they
could be trusted tn controversies between
the natives and+the Government, Gov
ernor Taft replied that that had never
been tried. and that he thought that to
place under a Filipino thousand men !
with J. thousand rifles would not be wise. |
He had not the slightest doubt that |
under the command of American officers |
they would be entirely loyal.
He was asked about a statement of one /
Captain Allen, that force of $1,000 men |
would be enough to hold in the islands. /
He said at'-it might be SO after the |
guerrilla war, now carried on in four
provinces. should be put down; but he
himself favored the posting of a battalion
Of soldiers in easf -ofzthe provinces-nof
to act as police force, but as a moral
against disorder and violence
He figured out twenty-three different
provinces and pointed out on the map
several of them in which peace and good
rider prevailed. and from which the troops
mad been withdrawn.
Governor Taft viii be heard again to-
day.

ENGLAND'S PERFIDY SAID
TO GALL FOR REPRLSAL
The Presidents Dup Representative eH Debates, 10 Re-
coke Commissions of Special Coronation EhUoys

within the past few days is true that
during our war with Spain England.
while pretending to be the friend of the
United States, was secretly working to
form a European coalition against us, and
only failed because Germany and Russia
refused to join in the conspiracy, then it
will become the duty of the President to
revoke the appointment of the special en-
voys and do what he should have done in
the first instance, directed our Ambassa-
dor to the Court of st. James to represent
us at the coronation exercises.
And if this is not done l will intro
duce a resolution expressing the senti-
ments of the country against this undem-
ocratic and unrepublican act in sending
at the expense of the taxpayers of this
country special ENJOYS to represent the
United States and to participate in a cell
ebration SO repugnant to democratic and
republican principles.
England may be a liberal monarchy,
and Englishmen may enjoy the fullest ex-
tent of personal liberty, but the English
Government just now is using it's every
energy to crush out the life OF the strug-
Cling Beers in the South African Republic.
If our Government wants to send special
ENJOYS abroad, let it be to South Africa,
country that tried to disrupt and destroy
our Republic in 1S61-65, and that endeav-
ored to stab US in the back in 1885,"

Representative Thomas NJ Jett of Illi-
nois one of the most influential members
of the Committee on Military Affairs, is
one of the conservative members of the
House who seldom talks for publication,
but when he speaks he says what he
thinks, and never attempts to dodge the
question.
To Times reporter yesterday, on the
forthcoming coronation of Edward VII,
he said:
There is little innocent provision in
the diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill which was completed yesterday
by the House Committee on Foreign AZ
fairs that deserves public attention.
''The provision in question is the 1000
emergency fund for the State Department.
This is more than this fund has been at
any time that | can recall. 1t strikes me
the object of this emergency fund is to
pay the expenses of the special ENJOYS
to attend the coronation ceremonies OF
King Edward VII of England.
II do not know, however, that this
is the fact. But do know that when the
diplomatic ard consular bill comes up for
consideration in the House l shall offer
an amendment providing that not one
dollar of the State Department emer.
gency fund shall be used to pay any ex-
pense whatever in connection with the
coronation OF Edward VII.

COMMITTEES WHICH Do NOTHING
Senator Lodges Hint in Re-
gard to Salaries.
MEMBERS PAY TOO LOW
Amendment Offered to EntitIe Each
Member Not Chairman of n Conn
mittee to Employ Messenger mt
Salary of SI,44O.

The alleged extravagance OF the Sem
ate in the matter OF clerical aid to COM
mittees and committee chairmen was the
subject OF an hours discussion In the
Senate yesterday.
MT Clay OF Georgia, a Democrat,
gave rise to the discussion By entering a
protest when two Joint resolutions were
adopted and another offered giving extra
messengers to committees that have few
meetings and Introduce few bills
Mr.. Clay gave q list of such appoint-
ments within the last few weeks. He
stated that they numbered more than
twenty, and that none Of the committees
to which they had been appointed have
held single meeting in the last eight
or ten years.
Mr.. Lodge (Rep.. Mass.) expressed the
opinion that the multiplication of Offices
was largely due to the insufFciency Of
Senator's salaries.
Mr.. Teller suggested that Mr.. Lodge lid
not mean that the multiplied lion of such
ofnces was an indirect way to increase the
salaries Of Senator'S
OF course not" said Mr.. Iodge-
These clerks and messengers are all
paid by the disbursing officer of the Sem
ate. and no Senator has anything to do
with their pay
Il wanted the fact to go to the coun-
try" Mr.. Teller added. that Senators
have no pecuniary benefit from these ap-
pointments."
Mr.. Turner (Dem.. Wash.) offered an
amendment to the pending resolution. en-
titlins each Senator who is not chairman
of committee to employ a messenger at
the salary of S1.44O.
Mr.. Allison Of Iowa, chairman OF the
Committee on Appropriations. gave a
short history Of the conflict between the ,
Senate and the House as to the appoint
ment of clerks and messengers.
He believed the Senate was adding to
its force too rapidly. and he thought tina.
the Committee on Contingent Expenses
ought to examine into the matter. He
moved that the matter be recommitred
to the Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses.
Mr. Plat OF Connecticut spoke in favor
If the reference proposed by Mr.. Allison.
nd suggested resolution to carry it out.
after a long discussion the matter was
IN motion of Mr.. SDooner of Wisconsin.

ingent Expenses, with instructions to

engerS.

MAY ABOLISH SEALER'S OFFICE.
Sentiment of Senate District Com
mittec Against Its Continuance.

There is a large possibility that the
Office of Sealer of Weights and Measures
will be abolished by Congress. The office
is under discussion by the Senate District
Committee, and the sentiment is against
its continuance.
The point made by the committee is
that there should be no fees for the ex-
animation of scales, and that IL there are
no fees the office should be abolished and
the duties of sealing and examining scales
and measures given to some other office.
1t is argued that these duties come
properly under the Police Department
and the present plan is that an officer of
the Police Department should be detailed
to perform these duties free of charge.
The Office of sealer is an old one going
back almost as far as the District itself.
A bill was introduced in the Senate yes
terday by Mr.. Mcmillan. of the District
Committee, making a number of changes
in the law relating to the sealer. The
bill was prepared by the District Com
missioners, and is intended to remedy a
number of defects in the present law. 1t
was prepared without any reference to
the proposed adjustment of the Office.
The bill provides a penalty for tam
pering with any seal or scale or measure,
and makes further regulations regarding
the measuring of coke and charcoal and
the measuring of milk in jars and cans.

INDECENT AND FEFBLE-MINDED
Bill Providing for Their Care Mt St.
E!izabeth's introduced.

a bill to provide for the detention and
treatment of INDECENT females and feeble
sninded persons at the Government Hos
sital for the Insane was introduced in
the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Mcmillan,
chairman of the Senate District Commit
tee.
The bill is intended as remedial legisia-
tion. its intention being to attempt to
minimize the birth Of feeble minded chill
dren.
1t is understood that the committee has
made special research along the line in
dicated by the bill and that the statistics
obtained In New York and other large
cities are a most convincing argument
that su h remedial legislation is neces-
sary and advisable. The recent socio-
logical statistics in this direction show
sn appalling birth rate of feeble minded
offsprings in the second, third, and sue
ceeding generations from the marriage c!
detectives.
The movement thus begun by the SEN
ate District Committee Will not end with
the bill introduced today The erection
OF a special building for the care of this
class is under consideration.

DAYS DO|NGS IN CONGRESS.
ENGINEER NOBLE TESTIFIES.
Declares Commission Would Have
Approved Panama Route mt First.


Alfred Noble, another Of the engineer
members of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion, was Yesterdays witness before the
Senate Committee on Canals.
Mr.. Noble said that the construction OF
a canal over the Panama route depended
upon the safety and permanency of the
big dam at Bohio.
He was asked whether there are any I'M
certain features on the Nicaragua route
Mr.. Noble said that the Conchuda dam
there presented similar difficulties. The
depth of excavation there would be eighty
Eve feet; at Bohio 12S feet. While more
practical, and the Bohio dam could be
built without encountering untried condi-
tions.
In response to Mr.. Hanna the witness
reasonable offer from the Panama COM
pany it would have recommended the Pan
anna route in the first place. With regard
to harbors he said they would be about
equally good on either route.
AS to health conditions Mr.. Noble said
that the conditions were favorable to
yellow fever on the isthmus, but he did
not know of this disease in Nicaragua.
He stated that sewerage system would
be an absolute necessity for the Panama
route and that no sewerage system would
be required in connection with the Mica
ragua Canal.

CHAIRMAN ALLISON OBJECTS
Sentiment in Favor of a Per-
manent Bureau.
HOUSE BILL AMENDED
Messrs. Hanna and Dcpcw Found in
Line for the Mcnsurc-CivI Service
Paragraph Considered Only for tn.
Moment.

The Senate voted overwhelmingly in
favor of giving the director of the pro-
posed permanent census bureau a salary
of $3.50 a year. when the question of
his salary was reached in the considera-
tieH of the census bill yesterday after
noon.
This salary is larger than the salary
paid to any chief OF bureau throughout
the Government service.
The census bill, as it passed the House,
made the salary of the director $1,000.
Senator Quarles Committee on the Cen
sus amended the bill to give the increase
of salary, and the bill amended was finally
passed.
Mr.. Allison, chairman OF the Senate
Committee on Appropriations, made a
strong objection to the increase. He of
fered an amendment making the salary
$4,000. This amendment was voted down
by 4 vote of 30 to Is.
Senate Action Significant.
The action of the Senate in the matter
IS considered especially significant in two
OF three ways. 1t seems to indicate an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of tho
sus. It also indicates that there is
willingness to pay an exceptionally high
salary to the head of the bureau in order
TO secure the services OF good man for
the place, even when the chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations objects.
The Senate does not usually PASS over
the opinion of Mi. Allison in appropria-
ton matters OF minor character.
Senator QuarIes, when Mr.. Allison made
his objection to the increase made a
speech in favor OF it. He paid tribute
to the executive talent Of Director Mer-
RAM, and stated That the position is one
requiring such ability in an exceptional
degree. He said that the great industrial
corporations are always anxious to secure
men with the ability to organize and
control large forces of men, and that
they arc willing to pay immense salaries
for such ability. It was noted that Sem
ators Hanna and Depew, and others gen.
orally who are Interested with large cor
2orstive enterprises. voted in favor of
paying the director the large salary.
Civil Service Forgotten.
The civil service paragraph of the bill
was not considered yesterday, except for
a rGment. The time given to the meas
ure expired - 3 o'clock, before Mr..
Lodge had time to do more than say a
few words against the civil service pro-
vision and to offer an amendment.
NJ Lodge had not concluded his re-
marks when o'clock was reached. He
offered an amendment which would place
under the protection of the civil serg-
ice only such a number of clerks as are
intended to make up the permanent force
of the Office.
The interesting fact was developed by
Senator Bailey during the reading of the
bill that no provision is made as to the
length of term of the director. Senators
Bailey and Allison both announced that
they would offer amendments limiting the
tenn when general amendments are in
order.
The bill will probably be taken up again
today.

KENTUCKY ORATOR
CAUSES AN UPROAR
Continued from First Page.)

ripe the Democrats would care something
for the Germans. He said Prince Henry
was the admiral of the German navy, and
he was coming here in a private capacity,
and he wanted to know If there was any
| one in Mr.. Wheeler's district who would
want the President of the United States
to act in any other way than like a gen.
tleman toward him. He thought the prince
should receive the honor due to gentle
man OF his high character in coming to
this country.
Made Strong Reply.
Mr. Wheeler secured five minutese' time
in which to reply. He said he was sorry
if he had injured the feelings of Mr.
Grosvenor. whose whole life and deport-
ment had been SO changed by coming into
contact with royalty in his early youth
He said he had no objection to extend
ing every courtesy to the prince as gen.
tleman, and he would not have the Presi
dent act otherwise than as gentleman
But he said there were gentlemen and
gentlemen. He considered every honest
man who pays his debts, obeys the law
and fears God n gentleman, white or
black, but he did not believe in bending
the knee to royalty, for every American
tradition was hostile to the theory of the
divine right of kings.
He said he opposed the suggestion that
men were ever born great, although they
might be born to place and power. He
protested against the official reception to
this German" as Mr.. Grosvenor called
him. 1t would be leading the world to be-
lieve that we were eager for the touch of
the hands of potentates.
He said he objected further to Ameri-
cans attempting to play the part of
fiunkies, in sending a commission to
whistle through their fingers and stand
ing in the nte-chamber waiting to see
some man crowned king.
England Our Enemy.
A little more than hundred years ago
England was fighting to deprive us of our
liberties. lighting to destroy our hopes,
and less than hundred years ago her
soldiers pillaged our towns and burned
the Capitol over our heads.
He thought the judgment of the Ameri
can people was against such action. In
an impassioned outburst just as the ham
mer fell Mr.. Wheeler declared that he
would rather be an honest American citi-
zen than to be n gentleman measured by
the standard of European potentates.
Mr.. Wheeler's speech created a great
and continued to be the talk of
the day among members on both sides of
the chamber.
