Of the enemy should be II possible

treachery and cruelty on the part OF the
Wild tribes OF the archipelago; we fail
10 find a valid excuse for the adoption
OF measures, long ago rcpudlated both
In war and in peace, to force confess
slons from unwilling lips and by ply
steal torture to extract statements that
are open to doubt because extorted
under fear and awnll pain and suffer-
ing,
The question Is asked seriously by
local contemporary, in case OF the need
OF information TO make "tolsome and
perious march success" Shall the
troops go back and report failure be-
cause OF squeamlshness In using the
necessary compulsion TO obtain the in
formation they need?" This sounds
like an apalogetc query as TO the
means employed IN the middle ages.to
extort confessions and recantations by
torture, II such methods are TO be
considered justinable, in order TO save
the tolls and hardships Of soldiers and
perhaps a number Of their lives, will
not the same excuse apply to the
means used by fanatlcal zealots TO save
eternal torrents, from immortal souls
fallen into error and spiritual dark
ness? The reasoning in favor Of the
tortures resorted to by American Of
fcers IN the Philippines, can be applied
to those OF the InqusltIon and the hor-
rors Of the time Of Torduemada.
II 1t Is 'squeamlshness" to object TO
such methods of warfare in the twenti-
eth century Of the Christian era, We un-
hesltatingly confess to being "squeam-
ish'' concerning them, We believe
that the great government Of the
United States will show It's "squeam-
ishness" in relation TO them, and that
there will be n serious reckoning with
the parties guilty OF such crimes
against humanity. We concede that
extraordinary conditions call for ex-
measures, But there are
rules even in modern warfare that
should be observed between enemies,

on CHINESE EXCLUSION.
New York Mail and Express.

New York Mail and Express.
There Is hopeful symptom Of
healthy sentiment underneath the
apathy of the country on the subject
OF Chinese exclusion, in the vigorous
protest of Senator Cullom against the
extreme measure passed by the house.
He reminded the senate Of the Import
ance OF our coming trade, with China
and OF our relations with that country
In the future, which demands that we
give more heed to the spirit OF our
treaty obligations This has been dis
regarded in many ways IN the prac-
teal administration OF the Geary law.

routine, proceeded with business.
Senator Achi, from the Com
mittee on the Treasury Depart
ment, reported on the absconded
Treasurer Wright and the work
ngs in that department. 1t exon
crates Secretary Cooper from con-
nection with Wright's escape. In
regard to the Chinese Fund on
deposit, it found that the same
had been used by the Government
and warrants placed in place OF
the money used, but as to such a
course being lawful or sound bust
ness policy, it leaves it to public
opinion to decide.

amended it to accept and place
the report on file, az the commit

further asked that the committee
be discharged. Senator Bald win
accepted the amendment. When
put to vote, it carried unanimously.
Senator Baldwin, from the Com
