Washington June 2O-The Republican
Senators held another conferences today
Oh the question of Cuban reciprocity and
after three hours discussion adjourned
without action. subject to the call Of
Chairman Allison. Almost all the Re-
publican Senator's who are in the city
were present. Eight or nine speeches
were made in support of reciprocity, and
only two in opposition to that policy.
This was in accord with a previous
understanding that as the beet sugar
Senators had monopolized the attention
of the conference on Wednesday night,
their opponents today should have the
greater share of. the time.
The speeches in support of the reel
prOcity bill were made by Senators
Foraker, Beveridge, Lodge, Hale, War
rem, Aldrich, McComas and Hanna.
Senator Platt. of Conn, adding a few
words to what he had said at the We'd
nesday evening meeting, The two
speeches in opposition to the proposed
legislation were made by Senators Bur
ton and Burrows. The speeches for re-
ciprocity were all along the same gen
eral line and without exception were for
legislation and party harmony
Senator Foraker spoke of the necessity
of maintaining the most cordial rala-
tions with Cuba. He said the question
was an economic one, and that reciprocity
would promote, not only the interests
of Cuba, but American interests as well.
Senator Lodge dwelt with especial
emphasis on the Importance of having
Republican Senators stand together at
this critical point in the partys history.
Much of the prestige and future national
standing, he said might depend 0n the
step now taken. for all the world was
watching with interest our treatment of
the Cuban people. He declared that op-
rcsition would not suffice to prevent the
continued presentation of this matter
until success should be attained. and
was quite positive that if reciprocity
with Cuba was not secured now it would
be at later date.

of war, he said, had furnished no esti-
mate of the blood our possession of thu

hundred thousand Filipinos had perish
ed directly or indirectly as a result OF
the war waged against them, and that
10000 American lives had been lost Oh
wrecked. Mr.. Joens took up the charges
made against General Smith and Major
Waller of cruelty in Samar.
why is it, he asked, addressing the
other side of the chamber, that you
criticise and court-martial Schley, but
you will not touch hair in the head OF
those who have confessed to participat-
ing in these diabolical outrages? Why
criticise an officer of the navy, and re-
fuse to listen to criticisms of an officer
of the army?
'It is the indiscriminate criticism OF
the army that we protest against" in
terjected Mr.. Steele Qnd)
There has been no such indiscrimi-
nate criticism" answered Mr.. Williams

cases."

Jones, "but those who ordered such out

Mr.. Jones was warmly congrat tulated
by his party COLLEAGUES as he closed his
speech.
At the evening session Mr.. Kain
scribed in detail some of the cruelties
inflicted by Filipinos on American troops.

Filipinos pc given their independence.

Mr. Kahn said the United States had
lifted W a down trodden and oppressed
race and placed them on higher plain
of civilization than they ever dreamed
of.
Mr.. Kern (Dem., Ills.), denied the right
of the United States to frame laws for
the Filipinos, because in his opinion they
are an alien people. He criticised Pres
ldent Roosevelt and charged that he has
acted ir the matter without the author
ity of Congress, except such as was con-
ferred on him by a meagre resolution.
The vital question to his mind, he said,
was not so much one of good govern
ment as it is one of self government.

Washington, June 2O-Debate upon the
Philippine Civil Government bill con-
tinued today Il the House from IL a. m.
until p. m. and a session tonight
The speakers were given close atten-
tion. each side enthusiastically applaud
ing its respective orators. Mr.. Jones
Va) the ranking minority member of
the insular affairs committee, concluded
his speech begun yesterday. The other
speakers were Messrs. Hamilton (Mich)
ana Kahn (Calif) for the bill and Mr.
Patterson CTenn) against it. Mr.
Kahn's speech was largely an interesting
personel narrative of his experiences in
the Philippines last summer. The 18TH
mian Canal Bill was sent to conference
after the Senate amendment had been
non-concurred in. The House reiterated
the position it had taken upon the Army
Appropriation Bill by ignoring the ac-
tion of the Senate and sending the bill
back to the upper House after voting
TO adhere to it's disagreement to the OBJ
jectionable army post amendments.
Mr.. Jones, discussing the Philippines
Bill. argued that under the provisions
of the bill the friar lands which the gov
ernment was to purchase would find
their way into the hands of corpora

il would be better for the Filipino peo-
pie to live under the present hybrid
rule than to have imposed upon them
the civil government proposed by the
pending measure which would enable
that civil government to dispose OF all
the valuable franchises in the islands

devoted considerable time to the dis

the Filipino people for self government.
He quoted Prof. Schurman, president
Of the first commission, to the effect that
the Filipino people desired independ-
ence, Were entitled to it, were capable
OF governing themselves, and were en-
titled to self-government.

Norfolk, Va, June 20.-There is no
material change in the strike situation,
of which about two thousand men arc
now idle The greatest annoyance is
caused by the strike of carpenters at
work on over 800 houses in course of
erection. General Organizer Odell, of the
Carpenters and Joiners Union, is here
endeavoring to adjust the differences.
He is advising all carpenters to refrain
from work and asserts that his organi-
zation is amply able to pay out of work
benefits for ten years. Unless speedy
settlement is made it is highly probable
that a sympathetic strike will be the re-
suit.
