Washington, June 13.-The Presidents
reciprocity message save Senators d live
topic of conversation TODAY, but as far
as is yet apparent there is no change
in the situation. There was a disposi-
tion on the part of the leaders on both
sides of the controversy to claim when
speaking publicly, some advantage from
the message. The straight reciprocity
men urged that the effect would be to
cause at least some of the better
sugar Republicans to abandon their op-
position. They contendcd that many Of
them had misunderstood the attitude of
he President and now that this had boon
made clear there could be no longer any
excuse for opposing a straight reciprocity
measure.
The beet sugar leaders declared at the
close of the day that the message had
caused no loss whatever to them and
That all those Senators who had stood
with them yesterday are still with them.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Mark H. Evans,
of Dcs Moires. Iowa. formerly of the
Thirty-scCcnd Volunteer Infantry, was q
witNrxs before the Senate Philippine
Committee today. M. Evans said he
had been present at the burning OF four
or five native villages and that the de-
struction of those places had been due
to the presence of insurgents. The Or
Gors were to destroy all the native hutS
along tho coast near the mountains for
thirty milcs in Batan Province, so as to
lGrcc the natives to come in and this,
he said. was done.
Seward J. Norton, of Los Angeles, late
private in Company l., Eighteenth United
States infantry. said hat except in iso-
lated cases the treatment accorded the
natives by United States soldiers was
humane. and all that could be expected
CT desired"
IN the isolated cases referred to, he
said the treatment was not consistent
with humanity and the laws OF war. he
described one occasion when he had
assisted in "water curing a native.
The mans mouth. he said. was forced
open with q stick and water poured down
his throat. The effect of the treatment
WAS temporary st~rangulation. In this
particular case, he said, the native after
receiving the cure delivered up a num-
Der of rifles and pistols. He had, he
said. Witnessed the burning of q lumber

marching through villages" the witness
related, when fired upon by the natives,

The Irrigation Bill
CBy the Associated Press }

Washington, June 12.-Ihe House to-
Gay adopted a special rule for the con-
sldcration of the Irrigation Bill which
passed the Senate some time ago and de-
voted the day to general cha upon
the measure, BY the terms Of the rule.
general debate closed at ad iOurnmcnt
this evening. Tomorrow the bin Will 10
read for amendment under the five Elin-
ute rule. Messrs. MondclI, CNyoD. TIE
rcll, CMass.), and S-hallenberger, CEch.).
spoke today in favor of the bill. Mr..
Ray, Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittec, made a long legal argument
against it. Mr.. Olmstead, Pa). enliv-
med the proceedings with d humorous
speech in reply to Mr.. Cushmar's recent
attack upon the committee on rules.
Mr.. Mondell submitted an extended ar
gument III favor CT tho bill. The araount
OF land which might ultimately u re-
claimed by irrigation was estimated. he
said at between $4,000, 600 and 10000 p
acres.
1t was estimated, he said, that the
pending bill would produce a fund from
the sale Of public lands of between two
and two and a half million dollars which
would gradually increase. 1t was esti-
mated that the coac OF bringing water
to the settler would be about 2l9 per
acre so that at tho present rate the bill
would bring 30, 600 acres under irrisa-
ton annually.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.), argued that Tho
only method OF building up arid lad
states was to provide for their irrigation.
The bill would not take a dollar out Of
the treasury, he said. it would only use
the proceeds from the sale Of lands in
each State for the benefit Of such State.
Mr.. Olmstead defended the machinery
Of the House, arguing that present lcgis-
lative methods were necessary for the
transaction Of public business. Fourteen
thousand bills had been introduced at
the present session. The House would
have to sit up night and day for ter years
20 consider and pass upon all Of them.
He went over the record to show tlat
more bills had been passed and moro
unanimous consents had been accorded IN
the last Congress than in the Forty
ninth and Tiftieth Congresses before the
present system went into effect. He con
cludcd by adjuring members in the Ian

NEW COMPUTATION TICKETS.


Will Probably be on Sale by the aTth of
This Month.
Some of the local commuters who travel
daily on the railroads between Wilmington
and Philadelphia, and who are preparing to
comply with the company's order to have
their photographs placed on the 60-trip
tickets, have learned that the photographs
of the size required are more expensive than
they supposed, but this will prove no OBJ
stacle, as 50 cents worth of pictures will
suffice for the year, the general price being
about 80 cents per dozen. Some of the COM
mnters were of the impression that they
coulu get the photographs for one cent
apiece, judging by some of the summer
resort prices in the past, but 1t appears that
a durable picture of the required size can
not be made as cheaply as some of the snap
shot pictures.
The new tickets will probably be on sale
about the 9th of this month, as has been
the custom heretofore, to allow the pur-
chasers an opportunity TO avoid the rush on
the first day of the ensuing month. The
new rule will consume some little time in
the making out of the ticket, as each mum
Der is to be registered and then the photo
graph posted and stamped with the seal Of
the company.
