WASHINGTON. May s.-senator Car
mack was Kissed In the United States Sen
ate chamber this afternoon. This was such
an extraordinary testimony of dlsapproval
that the 7old-timers stood aghast. Not in
the memory OF the oldest senator or. en-
ploye OF the Senate has there been such
a vicious expression OF disapproval The
demonstration was caused by a rather en-
phatic request on the part of the senator
testimony which had been given before the
Philippine committee and afterwards had
been refuted. Senator Spooner retorted
that the Democrats were APPARENTLY always
trying 10 find something bad to say OF the
army and never gave IL the credit OF doing
anything good. Senator Carmack intimated
that the army itself was responsible for
the public suspicion which was directed
against 1t. The words were scarcely out
OF his mouth before loud Kisses were heard
from the gallery. The senators on the floor
looked startled. and II required sharp words
from the presiding officer to restore order.
Another incident Of the day demonstrat-
ing the unpopularity of the savage attacks
which the Democrats have been making
on the army was when Senator Spooner
was asked IL he approved the crueIties
which the army had been practicng. He
said ne did not, nor did he believe any one
would be found who would approve them.
Then advancing a pace. and shaking his
finger at his interrogation. Mr.. Spooner cried
IN passionate tones: Nor will impeach the
army upon these statements Of" here
the remainder OF his sentence was drowned
IN thunder OF applause which came from
the crowded galleries. and which was long
anu continued. The outbreak was spontan-
eous and vooiferous, continuing. despite the
repeated pounding of the gavel OF the pre-
siding officer. who demanded order. The
enthusiastic listeners i'm the galleries. how
ever. were entirely oblivious of their breach
OF the rules OF the Senate prohibiting ap-
plause. and 1t was not until they had vent
ed their impulse that they subsided enough
TO let Mr.. Spooner proceed.

Associated Press Dispatch
WAsHINGTON.i May S1.-Hissing in the
Senate is SO unusual that when it occurred
fn the course OF the Philippines debate to-
day it created a sensation. Mr.. Spooner.
OF Wisconsin. was speaking and referred
incidentally to the story that a thousand
Filipinos had been put to death by Amer
ican troops In trenches which they were
compelled TO dig Mr.. Lodge. OF Massa-
chusetts. said the story had been denied
b. the father OF the soldier who had start
cd Il. and that the War Department had
cabled TO General Chaffee to ascertain the
facts. Mr.. Carmack, OF Tennessee, inter-
xup<ed 10 say that no doubt the soldiers
would deny the story. as all soldiers in the
Philippines had been required to do. His
remark was greeted with Kisses from the
ealleries. the demonstration OF disappro-
bation calling out a sharp rapping of the
Gavel from the chair. Mr.. spooner occu-
pied ave hours OF to-day's session in con-
eludinr his speech begun on Thursday.
Senator Spooners eioquence and earnest
n<ru attracted the attention Of all senators
and OF hundreds OF occupants OF the
crowded galleries. He maintained that the
United States could not leave the Philip
pines like a coward and abandon people
Who had come under our protection. thus
ourxcnderirg them TO tyranny and chaos"
He did not believe in the admission of the
Philippines 10 the Union as States. but in
tho conduct OF the Islands nothing savoring
of imperialism had been suggested except
Cor party purposes. He charged that an in
cocuant effort had been made by the mi
nority to put this country In the wrong and
- stain the country with dishonor.
In the course OF his speech Mr.. spooner
necame involved In spirited colloquy with
Mr.. Hoar. of Massachusetts,, during which
1fr. Spooner read a statute of the State of
Massachusetts, which offered a reward OF
k1oo for the scalps OF male Indians over
the age Of twelve years. Mr.. Hoar de-
5lor<d that 1t was cruel and barbarous
law. and Mr.. spocner himself did not at
tempt TO Justify It. simply citing il as an
instance OF cruelty In the lighting OF saw
eGe natives.
Mr.. Pettus. OF Alabama. discussed some
Of the legal phases OF the Philippine ques-
ton. and Nr McLaurin. OF Mississippi. in
sisted that the Democrats in the Senate

CHICAGO. May si.-F. r. Kenton. son
OF c. r. Kenton. a shoe manufacturer of
Milford, Conn, Is at the County Hospital
with bullet wound in his abdomen from
which it is believed he will die. Kenton
was riding on a Chicago & Eastern Illinois
stock freight train last night. He was at
tackled by two men believed To have been
tramps. He was shot and robbed of a gold
watch and $50. The robbery completed. the
tramps threw the insensible form from the
train. which was running at a rate OF TWEEN
~ miles hour. The assault occurred
near Momence. III. kenton lay for an hour
before regaining consciousness Then he
managed TO drag himself 10 the railroad
station, where he received medical atten-
tion. He was brought 10 Chicago this
morning and local detectives were put to
work on the case.

quested that they be printed IN the Record.
Mr.. Beveridge explained that they covered
particular points in the testimony, ar
ranged In logical sequence. and he thought
II was perfectly fair and just.
Mr.. Hoar suggested that he thought
compilation of the kind presented ought to
have the sanction Of the Philippine COM
mittee, and he moved that the matter be
referred 10 that committee.
Mr.. Beveridge said that the widest lati-
tude had been afforded 10 the minority In
the publication Of matter In the Record,
and he thought II scarcely fair that objec-
ton should be made to his request.
Mr. Allison hoped Mr.. Hoar would with
draw his motion, and indicated some criti-
cism OF the Massachusetts, senator's action.
AS Mr.. Hoar would not withdraw his
motion, Mr.. Beveridge withdrew his re-
quest. announcing that later he would read
the matter. II necessary TO get 1t in the
Record.
In resuming his speech begun on Thurs
day, Mr.. Spooner referred 70 a statement
of Mr. Hoar a minute before that there
ought not to be sides In this Philippine
debate. The one trouble one Of the weak
nesses of the discussion and one OF the
wicked elements. is the fact that there had
been and were now sides TO this ques-
ton. He thought there ought 10 be no
sides. 1T IS. he said, question which
belongs 10 the American people. IL is
problem Of delicacy and of some danger,
and weapon Of no man and OF no party.
The interest OF all men In public and pTi-
vate life is TO get at the truth without pri-
vate opinion or party strife. 1 have not
been In favor OF permanent dominion over
the Philippines, but do not mean by that
that / have been In favor of the United
states running away like "A coward or
abandD Dning people who have come under
our protection or surrendering them to
tyranny, anarchy and chaos" He said he
had never been able TO contemplate with
equanimity the admission of the Philippines
as State or States. Nothing was dearer
TO him, except his home ties, than that
this government should be confined to this
continent. No question OF Imperialism, he
said, had been raised in this problem except
for party purposes.
NARROW AND SoUINT-EYED.
There never before has been an in
stance" he declared. where a portion of
the American people have sought inces-
sanity and, 1 think. unfairly to put this
country in the wrong and to stain the
honor of the country with dishonor." They
had formed. he said. a narrow and squint-
eyed view OF every question of fact He
said the United States never would seek
war, but If attacked we had the power TO
resist attack, and when the time came to
dictate terms of peace the United States
might demand and accept ceded terri
tory that Is inhabited without first secur-
ing the consent of the inhabitants.
Mr.. SpOOner declared that there was
little or similarity between the condi-
ttons in Cuba and those in the Philippines
Those senator's" he insisted, who can
not see the difference between the Philip
pines and Cuba have some sort OF mental
strabismus." An attempt had been made
