 questions, replied that he did not know the name of the writer Of the letter, and would not mention it if he did know. As he was proceeding to discuss the censor ship on press dispatches sent from Ma nila, he was interrupted by MT. Foraker, who quoted from an interview with Pres- ident Taft of the Philippine commission, under yesterdays date, stating that there was no censorship of press dispatches now. Further along Judge Taft, with ref erence to the alleged establishment of concentration camps, explained that only an insurrectionary cordon had been es- tablished with a view to crushing out what remained of the rebellion.
 MT. Teller was insisting that he had good authority for the statement that press dispatches were censored in Manila when MT. Beveridge, Indiana, said he knew from personal observation in the Philippines that press dispatches were not censored. He was we'll acquainted, he said, with the Associated Press corre- spondent in Manila, and knew from him that the censorship had been suspended.
 Manifesting considerable irritation, MT. Teller declared he would let the Senate consider the 'impertinence'' of MT. Beveridge in interrupting him for ques- ton and then proceeding to lecture him, he said that there had been some rules of decency and courtesy which had been recognized in the Senate for twenty-five years. This Is the first time in my ex- perience." said he, that a senator has gained the floor to ask question and then charged the senator who yielded to him with being liar"
 MT. Beveridge promptly disclaimed any intention of discourtesy toward MT. Tel Ter.
 Well, I consider that the senator was very discourteous," retorted Mir Teller.
 Soon after MT. Teller referring to the Associated Press dispatch from Manila, quoting General Wheaton as criticising some utterances of Dr. Schurman in his Boston speech said:
 Schurman's Statements True.
 "There is not a senator of that side of the chamber" pointing to the Re- publican side, ''who did not know that the statements in that dispatch were true.'
 Instantly half dozen Republican sen- ators including MT. Lodge, Mir Hawley and MT. Platt of Connecticut sprang to their feet, uttering protests against the Colorado senator's statement, That is not true and I will not permit it to go unchallenged," declared MT. Lodge.
 Then will change it." said Mr. Teller and say there is not a senator on that side who ought not to have known that the statements in that dispatch were true"
 MT. Foraker interrupted Mr. Teller to inquire if he had any information addi- tional to that which he had yesterday upon the accuracy of the dispatch.
 T said had satisfactory evidence-evi- dence satisfactory to my mind-"said Mr. Teller, that the statements in the dis patch were correct"
 Without further Interruption MT. Teller concluded his remarks, declaring that he prepared to discuss the whole Philippine question during the pendency of this measure and did not propose to be bully ragged" by anybooy or deterred from what he considered to be his duty as an American senator. At the conclusion of the debate MT. Frye made the following announcement from the chair:
 From the experience of today the chair is obliged to call the attention of senators to the rules which has been violated He then read the rule requiring that when senator desires to speak he shall address the presiding officer and shall not interrupt another senator in debate with out his consent. Tt is not a compliance with that rule.' said the presiding off, cer, flor a senator to address cthe presid- ing officer and immediately proceed to in- terrupt the senator who has the floor This isa very important rule for conduct ing debates with decorum and the chair sincerely hopes that senators will observe 1t in the future"
