tate OF Catherine Daily who died In Paw
tucket some months ago.
Miss Daily was so years old and though
she had at the time of her death be-
tween $1,000 and si4OO. those who were
her friends were not aware that she had
a dollar laid by.
The deceased worked I'm a mill at Paw
tucket until very near the time OF her
death and even I'm her last illness she de-
MED herself comforts. She refused 10
make a will her landlady said. In the tax
with her landlady Miss Cherry, she said
she had about $50. She told DIR. stephen
r. Hughes. who was attending her, that
she was very poor and that Miss Cherry
had bought her medicine
Rose Lathrop testified that Miss Daily
had two bank books sewed up I'm skirt
and that the skirt was generally kept
Under her pillow until the last days or
her life. when II was kept between the
mattresses.
on the day before Miss Dally's death
witness was sent for 10 come from the
mill and when she entered Miss DAILY

She then told witness that Mamie,
meaning Mary A. Flaherty, was 10 nave
500. witness 500 and the balance, after
paying all expenses. was TO go 10 hath-
crime Cherry. Witness testified she was
then given the bank books and skirt.
Margaret Hoffman testified that the de-
ceased said: II want Mamie To have 800
and YOU $500 and tho rest to go to Miss
Cherry" There was q little trouble over
the expression too as the court thought
IL might mean 800 like Mary A. Flaherty
was given. and IL might mean $500 This
witness could throw no light on the mat
ter.
Dr. Hughes said Miss Daily told him the
day before her death she had made her
will and Miss Cherry would settle with
him.
Mrs. Brooks the landlady. said she wilt
messed an order given on the bank. which
order was signed by Miss Daily.
Hugh j. Carroll was counsel for Miss
Cherry and the other claimants. Mr..
Tuck said the only controversy was as 10
whether Rose Lathrop wars TO have 800
or 800.
Rose Lathrop was recalled and again
swore she was given s20o.- fhe court said
there was no doubt as to how deceased
wished TO dispose OF her property and
that when the debts were paid Miss
Cherry would have the balance. after pay

of the influences which moved members
OF this Senate to vote for the treaty
the most powerful were the desire to
end the war and commence the work Of
liberty and freedom in those far is
lands. IL was believed the Intentions
of our Government as to the Philip
pines were not different from those
which had been declared as to Cuba,
and that the establishment OF peace
meant an earlier and easier solution
Of the Philippine problem. To con-
tinue the war conditions. fearing un-
lust treatment by the United States
of those who had aided us in the over
throw of the Spanish arms in those
islands. seemed unreasonable and with
out foundation: certainly so in the
face of assurances made by those who
should have been able TO speak on the
subject.
| believe. Mr.. President, that there
are Senators today who are supporting
the policy outlined by the junior SEN
ator from Indiana. and which we are
told is the policy of the Administration.
who. at the time of the vote on the
peace treaty never dreamed that now
they would be advocating territorial
and foreign policies for this Govern
ment which is as strange to its insti-
tutions and traditions as they are I'M
lust and iniquitous. But under the
lash and spur of party policy and ex-
!pediency they have wheeled into line
and now stand ready, not merely as
passive agents but as active workers

TO that act of the Senate as il is 10
those who voted against ratification.
me peace with Spain entailed no war
with the Filipinos nor change in our
country's foreign policy. The war in
Lu1oh may or may not have been
avoided under different policy bv the
Administration. Certain ii is there Is
no article in the treaty declaring war
on AguinaldO and his people. and there
can be found therein no authority for
the retention Of the Philippines as n
