but one whose friends were always de-
voted to him.
The pallbearers were: Warren S. Young
William II. Crook, J. C. Stoddard. and ].

Government Measure.

Fir. Teller Introduces Resolution Calling
For Their Repeal-Denounces Arrest
and Imprisonment of Manila Editors
by Civil Commissioners.

Mr.. Lodge again called up the Philip
pine government bill in the Senate yes
terday, but no one was ready to talk on it.
Mr.. Bacon suggested that the affirma-
tive of the measure be advocated by the
Senator from Massachusetts.
Mr.. Lodge declined the invitation, say
ing that in his report he had stated all
that he wished to state about the provi-
sions of the bill. He was prepared to dis
cuss it whenever that was requisite.
Mr.. Teller introduced a resolution
against the sedition laws in force in the
archipelago. 1t recited that two newspa-
per editors had been imprisoned without
trial for printing matter not satisfactory

Legal Status Not Defined.
Senator Teller also made few remarks
on the subject of the legal status of the
inhabitants of the Philippines. which. he
said. is not defined satisfactorily in the
Lodge bill
This Government has certainly held the
islands long enough to have determined
whether these people are citizens of the
United States or not, but the bill does
not say. 1t evades the question:
Mr.. Lodge-The bill defines their legal
status in the same words used to define
the status of the inhabitants of Porto
Rico. 1t says that they are citizens of the
Philippines and that they owe allegiance
to the United States, and are entitled to
protection from this Government
Citizen or Subject.
Mr.. Ter1er-This is no statement. The
committee is afraid to say that the Fill
ipinos are citizens of the UNITED States,
and it does not dare to say they are sub
iects. a man must be either citizen or
a subject of the government that controls
him. The committee evades the question
by saying that they are citizens of the
Philippines. which have no sovereignty.
Mr.. Bacon also said few words along
the same line.
Mr.. Lodge ended the discussion by say
ing that ne did not care to take up the
question at this time. as no Democrat was
ready to speak. He moved that the bill be
laid aside temporarily until today.

CUBAN TARIFF DELAYED.
May Not Reach Senate Until Tentative
Agreement Can Be Reached

Of the Committee on Relations with Cuba,
says he cannot yet say what action will be
taken with regard to the Cuban tariff bill
passed by the House last Friday.
The Senator had long talk with the
President on Sunday. and yesterday there
were several informal conferences among
the leading Republican Senators.
No meeting of the committee has been
called, and it is possible that it will be
deferred until an outline OF a tentative
agreement can be reached.
II is understood that the opponents to
the bill will endoavor to prevent its pass
age by delaying it in various ways until it
is too late. The resolution of Senator Tell
er, calling for an investigation in Cuba,
is looked on by the friends Of delay as an
excellent move.

River situation:
Your undersigned remonstrant most
respectfully protests against those pro-
visions OF the pending river and harbor
bill which make an appropriation of So,
$4,000 for the so-called Improvement of
the Mississippi River from the Gulf Of
Mexico to Cairo for these reasons:
THE Mississippi River has gone down
the Atchafaiaya to the Gulf of Mexico
and is now rapidly deepening its own
channel so that at all times during the
past .cw-water season there were fully
Is feet of water in the channel from the
mouth of Red River up to Memphis and
II feet OF water in the channel from
Memphis up to Cairo. when four years
ago--before nature had made the new
bed for the Mississippi River down the
Atchafalaya to the Gulf-there were many
places with less than four feet of water in
the channel OF the Mississippi River from
the mouth of Red River up to Cairo!

extended above the mouth OF Red River
in a word. the Mississippi River has gone

The Mississippi River Commission has
wasted over si4 .G00.G 600 since its creation

it is a crime to let it waste any more

what is needed are more outlets for
the water, More snagboats, More lights
on the banks. And only single-span
bridges. Then let us alone. but in order
that this controversy between the dix
age and drainage advocates may be finally
settled | now ask for the adoption OF the
