in opposition TO the pending measure.
He was followed by Mr.. Spooner or

islands. He became involved frequent
ly in heated coIloquy with members OF

arpea. to congress to stand by the poll
tics of Mckinley and Roosevelt. Mr..

ment OF the administration in the Phil
l:pines but had not concluded when the
ser ate adjourned.
The house passed the Indian appro-
priation bin. No amendments Of i'm
portance were attached to IL yester-
day. The latter part OF the session

tended speech In the senate. and was
given a most attentive and carerui

seditioE laws enacted by h Philippine
commission, vigorously attacking the
authority OF the commission TO a

information furnished by the execu-
tive departments of the government
with some Of the statements OF 6ov.

ippines committee with respect 10 the
CAPABILITIES of the Philippine people,
and declared, with some heat, his De-

tives unknown. He asserted that II the
