HAD WARM DEBATE.
Democratic Senators Talk Harsh1y
of Affairs in Philippines.
Dubois Wants Gen. Wheaton Reprimanded
and Teller Says Natives Are Arrested In
BIaniIa for Expressing Desire
Tor Independence.

Washington, Jan. 29.-An animated
and prolonged discussion was precip-
itated in the senate yesterday over
the right of army officers to criticise
utterances made in he senate or else
where on the conduct of affairs in
the Philippines. At times it became
somewhat acrimonious, officers in
the Philippines being taken sharply
to task for statements attributed to
them in dispatches from Manila.
Rising to a question of privilege ear
~ in the session, Senator Dubois, of
Idaho, had read an Associated press
dispatch from Manila in which Gen.
Wheaton was quoted as criticising
some utterances of Prof. Schurman
in speech delivered in Boston. SEN
ator Dubois thought the president, in
the circumstances, would be war
ranted in reprimanding Gen. Wheat
on for his utterances. He declared
that such comment upon the action
of the senate was Outrageous and
indecent" and that the minority had
had quite enough of threats and
b1ackmail.
Mr.. Teller (Col.) said such situa-
ton as had arisen was one of the
blessings growing out of the condi-
tons in the Philippines. A paddock,
he asserted, was to be placed upon the
mouth of every man, congressman or
private citizen, and all criticism of the
administration Philippine policy was
to be silenced. He referred to the
criticism of senators who had antag-
onized the administrations policy in
the Philippines, declaring they had
been charged even with treason.
Nothing Concealed, Says Taft.
Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Gov. Taft, of the
Philippines, who was here Sunday en-
route to Cincinnati, said: ''The only
answer have to make to the ideas of
individual observers, who declare that
the true condition of the Philippines
is being concealed, or that we are
hugging decisions of peace that can
never be brought about, is that the
government is concealing nothing, and
that it's conclusions are not based on
wild theories, but substantial facts
Gov. Taft said that although there
was time when, for military rea-
sons, it had not been advisable to
make public everything occurring in
the Philippines, the necessity for such
secrecy is over, and that no effort is
now being made to conceal any part
of the truth from the people of this
country.

WHAT scHLEY DEMANDS.
Rear Admiral Wants the President to De.
clare Admiral Dewey's Finding to
Be the Correct One

Washington, Jan. 3O.-The navy de-
partment has made public Rear Adj
miral Schley's appeal delivered to the
president about week ago.
The first ground of the appeal is in
reference to the Endorsement of Sec
rotary Long approving the finding of
the court and rendering no opinion
on the questions of command and
credit for the victory. The president
is asked to annul this Endorsement
and approve Admiral Dewey's state
ment declaring Schley in command,
the petitioner saying that only in this
way can exact justice be done. The
second ground of the appeal relates
to the alleged withdrawal of the
squadron at night from Santiago bay,
the character of the blockade and the
propriety of Schley's conduct. The
president is asked to annul Secretary
Longs Endorsement of the courts
finding in this also and substitute the
holding of Admiral Dewey that the
blockade was effective. The third
ground recites Admiral Dewey's opin-
ion to the effect that the passage
from Key West to Cienfuegos was
made with all possible dispatch, hav-
ing in view the Importance of arriv-
ing off Cienfuegos with sufficient
coal; and that the passage from Glen
fuegos to point off Santiago was
made with as much dispatch as pos
sible, while keeping the squadron a
unit. 1t is claimed that while this is
at variance on certain points with
the opinion of the majority of the
court, it is the only decision justified
bv evidence and facts.

About the Productive Capacity of the

One Man.

joint session of the legislature
Wednesday upon civilian Mckinley
in honor of the anniversary of the

minis said in part:
William Mckinley believed and acted
upon the belief that to be great and
helpful and powerful men must know
some one thing better than any one else
knew it; and that the world was always
on the lookout for such man. He chose
for. his especial study one of the most
difficult. as wen as one of the most con-
troverted, subjects of his time; and he
mastered it absolutely, so that before
many years had passed over his congress
sional career William Mckinley knew
more about the productive capacity OF
the United States. more about the con-
ditions under which labor earned its wage
and capital its return, more about the
possibilities of our magnificent future
than any other man in America.
