The Kentucky Congressman Scores the

CALLS HAY A P|TIABLE FLUNKY
The Speech Aroused Much Interest and Created Decided
Sensation In the House-The Statesman Also
Took Shot at Prince Henry.

Washington, Feb. 14.-The house
was enlivened today by a very sen
sational speech by G. X. Wheeler of
Kentucky, in denuciation of what he
deemed "flunkeyism' to foreign
countries. He took recent statements
emanating from continental cabinets
regarding the attitude of Great Brit
ain during the Spanish war as text
for a wholesale attack upon the
trend of American diplomacy. His
speech aroused the house to a high
pitch of excitement and was chiefly
directed against the government of
Great Britain. In speaking of Lord
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
he said: IF he comes here to rep
resent his government, well and
good; but if he comes here to hatch
conspiracies, to attempt to force his
wishes and his ideas upon the Amer

NO WHITE LABOR.

TWenty-one Patrol Boats Will Be
Built by Chinese Labor.
Over $750,O00 in contracts for 21
steamers for use as coast patrol boats
and revenue cutters in Philippine wa
ters have been placed through the
civil commission at Manila with En-
glish firms in Japan and China.
Coolie labor will be employed in the
construction of these vessels, and
great indignation is expressed at the
ship building plants and navy yards
OF the coas. at the action of the gov
ernment in placing the contracts
with foreign firms. Even the Cavite
navy yard, near Manila, could have
built the craft but the commission
has seen fit to get the work done in
China, Japan and India, because it
can be done cheaper there.
The dispatch states that bids were
opened in December and contracts
have since been placed. Under these
the steamers will be built by seven
Or eight shipbuilding firms of Japan,
Shanghai Hongkong and Singapore.
Twenty steamers will each be 100
feet long, and one, to be used as the
flagship of the squadron, will be
about 200 feet long.
The matter of building these
steamers by coolie labor in Asiatic
ports has apparently been kept in the
background for fear of arousing op-
position in this country. The object
of course, is to save time and ex.
pense by having them constructed as
near Manila as possible.
Specifications were prepared dur
ing the late fall under the direction
OF Commander Mark, captain of the
port of Manila, who later took them
before the shipbuilding concerns OF
Oriental cities. Most of these firms
had Representatives present when tha
bids were opened. The total cost
will approximate $700,000.- From
San Francisco Bulletin
The navy department is now max
ing arrangements and are asking
congress to appropriate thirty-twC
million dollars for navy yard at
Subig bay, Philippine islands.
Herein lies the greatest menace tc
American labor of modern times. The
ships of the American navy built by
the Chinese coolie labor at Hong
kong and the ships of the navy re
ro'rei 81 Subig bay by Chinese
coolie mechanics.
The scale of wages paid out there
is for all classes of mechanical labor
about so cents in gold per day. The
same class of work pays from $3.50
to $4 in America.
If they build and repair the ships
by Chinese coolies, what will the
American mechanic do who pays the
taxes to support this government
They will soon have strikes and
starvation staring them in the face

Automobiles, trolley cars and bicy.
