SENATORS TIRE
OF DEBATE
ARGUMENT ON LONG ISLAND
GOVERNMENT BILL.
THANKS EXTENDED TO HAY
House Passes Resolutions in Appre-
citation of Eloquent EuIogy of
President Mckinley - Democrat
Charges Republican Stump Speech
Was Given.

Washington, June 3.-Little inter-
est was manifested in the senate de-
bate on the Philippine government
bill yesterday under the fifteen min
ute rule. At two or three stages it al
most died of hamilton. Senator Ma
son in vigorous speech differed
from the majority in the treatment
proposed for the Philippines. He
urged that no reason existed for ac-
cording treatment different from
that accorded the Cubans and strong
ly advised that they be afforded the
right to govern themselves. He said
he would not have voted for the Paris
treaty but for the open understanding
among the senators that the Filipinos
were to be given their independence
as soon as they were ready for it.
Other senators who spoke were
Messrs. Hoar, Foraker, Cullom, Ba-
con, Patterson, Teller, Carmack and
Proctor. Early in the session some
amendments were made to the bill by
the Philippine committee, the most
important of which related to the dis
position of the public lands in the
islands.
In the House.
The house, 129 to 46, suspended the
rules and adopted a joint resolution
extending the thanks of congress to
Secretary of State Hay for his ad-
dress on the occasion of the McKin-
ley memorial exercises last February.
Unanimous consent for the consider
alton of this resolution was objected
to by Mr.. Dearmond of Missouri some
time ago and Mr.. Clark of Missouri
made a Commute speech in opposition
to it's adoption on the ground that Sec
rotary Hay had abused the occasion
by injecting republican stump
speech into the address. Mr.. Hooker
of Mississippi, the one-armed confed-
crate veteran, delivered an eloquent
defense of Hays address, denying that
it contained anything Objectionable
from a political standpoint. Mr.. Gros-
venor, in charge of the resolution, ar
gued that Hay in eulogizing the mar
tyred president could not divorce the

A NOTED JOURNALIST.
Frank b. NOyes, Editor of the
Chicago Record Herald.
[Protected by Copyright.l

The recent assumption by MIR. Frank
B. Noyes of the editorship in addition TO
the business management of the Chicago
Record-Herald makes pertinent at this
time a glance at his career. Although
only 80 years old, he has for many years
been prominent in American journalism
and has achieved success that only re-
tration of effort along the lines of a cho-
sen profession. 1t may be said of Mr..
Noyes that he was in sense born into
journalism, having had the editorial pen
thrust into his hand at an early period
of his life. He is, in fact, a living wit
ness of the implied meaning of Oliver
Wendell Holmes quaint saying that one
entage, for he doubtless owes much to
his renowned father, Crosby Stuart
Noyes, who for more than half a CEN
fury has been identified with journalism
in America.
As there are many points of similar
ity in the careers of these two eXem-
plarS of editorial energy, push and per-
severance, it will not come amisS in this
connection to review in brief what the
elder Noyes has accomplished. Born in
Maine nearly a years ago. he went to
Washington at a time when those gil
ants of debate. Webster, Clay and Cal
houn. were prominently before the pub
lie and has ever since been connected
with affairs of Importance in the nation
al capital. AS correspondent for several
papers he attracted interest by his wit
ty and PICTURESQUE descriptions of hap
penings in Washington and in 1855 be-
came identified with the then recently
established Washington Star as a re-
porter. He acuired a national reputa-
ton as a department reporter and war
time correspondent, rose to the position

have been SO generously and loyalty ex-
tended to me. / could not attest my
own high appreciation of his sterling
worth more unequivocally than by the
great trust which 1 hereby surrender
into his hands,
1t is this implicit confidence in the
ability and Integrity of Mr.. Noyes, as
shown by his friends and business as
sociates, that constitutes his highest
encomium. He has reached his present
position not by posing for public APP
prevail or by laying claim to the pos
session of any peculiar quality of
worth. but by working industriously
and always pursuing high ideals. Incl
dentally to his work, Mr.. Moves has
been a judicious collector of rare books
and is a connoisseur of art, possessing
a fine library and a select gallery of
paintings.
Mr. Moves is the father of two chill
dren. His charming wife, a daughter
of Major Charles Newbold, u. S. A,
was prominent in society during the
residence of the family in Washington.
and the Noyes home at Englewood
Manor was a center of social festivity
and refinement. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
NoyeS. have travelled extensively abroad.
In recent years they have spent their
summers at Winter Harbor, Me.
