Knoxville February 6.-knoxville has extended it's welcome to Schley and the admiral and wife leave tomorrow morn ing for Washington. A brilliant recep tion rendered to the admiral by the Cum berland Club tonight was the closing feature. The entire club house was dec orated handsomely in the tri-color The punch bowl was imbedded in the hold of a miniature of the Brooklyn made from choicest flowers. Hundreds of prominent men were present and enjoyed the casion. The admiral spoke briefly on ac- count of a severe cold, thanking Knox vile for it's hospitality. While this event was in progress Mrs. Schley was the guest at an elegant dinner rendered by Mrs. Lawrence D. Tyson.
 The second day of Admiral and Mrs. Schleys stay in Knoxville was even more admirable from the weather stand point than was the first. The admiral Is especially gratified that his entire tour <~<&%%%-s~-%<~<% of the revised statutes of the United States dealing with the same offense.
 MT. Hoar then spoke briefly upon the u commission. saying he was sorry that the commission had had its act justified by reference to the only harsh and cruel provisions that were to be found in the statutes of the United States. Under this cruel provision in the Philippine commits sion's act, a mother having knowledge of the treason of her son must inform the authorities upon him; the son must in- form upon the mother; the brother upon
 
 and so on.
 MT. Patterson said one of the members of the Philippine committee ought to be relieved from any odioum attaching to the enactment of the Philippine sedition laws. Governor Taft had told the Philip pine committee that he was ill when these acts were enacted by the commits sion and that had he been present there probably would have been some modifica- tion of the acts.
 'T am quite ready" said MT. Hoar, ito believe what the Senate has said of so able and humane a man as Gov ernor Taft"
 MT. Foraker said he never had heard the Philippine acts read until now. He was surprised, however that the senator from Massachusetts, MT. Hoar, should be mentally and morally disturbed" by such provisions as had been read
 Not only are the United States prov- sions the same" he declared, "as those contained in the Philippine acts, but the word in both is practically identical"
 He, Roraker, approved of them.
 Tillman Has a Say.
 MT. Tilman interrupted MT. Foraker to denounce the sedition laws enacted by the Philippine commission as "damnable doctrine"
 iuhf ho in aker warmly, ito inquire of the senator from North Carolina on which side of the struggle in the Philippines are his sym pathy" My sympathies, are with the Fili- pinos shouted MT Tillman pounding his desk emphatically.
 Undoubtedly they are" retorted MT Foraker, and such fiat footed and un- qualified declaration as the senator has made would render the revised statutes applicable to him If he were not protected by his position as senator
 MT. Hoar again interrupting MT. For aker and directing attention to the de- cIaration in the Senate chamber of Thos. Corwin of Ohio, during debate on the Mexican war that if he was a Mexican ne would welcome the Americans with pioooy hands to hospitable graves, in- qulred if the people of Ohio did not rev erence the name and memory of Tbos Corwin. ' MT. Foraker replied that the people of Onlo did love to recall the memory of Ihomas Corwin, but they realized he said. that in that great emergencv he made profound mistake
 MT. Rawlins of Utah later interrun+ed MT. Foraker with question as to inc sedition laws enacted by the Philipnine commission. and in the course of his re- marks said that MT. Foraker had de- nounced the Senator from South Caro- lima.
 MT. Forsker declined to yield further to Mir. Rawlins and declared hotly that he had not denounced MT. Tillman, but had merely announced the fact that the Senator's utterances on the Philippine question would make him liable to the statutes of the United States if he were not protected by his position.
 We are in a fair way" he said "to subdue the insurgents, and we will ac- complish that end if the Filipinos do not get too much encouragement from men in and out of Congress"
 MT. Clay of Georgia inquired of Mir Foraker if he had delivered a certain adj dress from which he quoted a paragraph. and the Ohio Senator replied that he had.
 Guilty of Treason.
 Does not the Senator think" inquired Mir Hoar, that the utterance would
