Trouble.

lie insisted that the Republican
contention was that the negroes of
the south were fitted to govern this
country, but that the Filipinos were
not fitted to govern themselves in the
Philippines. In the United States. lie
maintained, Il serious problem con-
fronted the government-the negro
prOblem-and we might better try to
solve that than to hunt for trouble i'll
the Philippines. Throughout the
SOUTH said he, there is IL horror
hanging over every household for this
awful fear OF rapine. And yet you
turn your back upon it and march to
the East, where you murder. and
butcher, and torture the poor Filipi-
nos. And you are doing all this in the
name of Christianity and humanity
and liberty. L can see the hypocrisy

He urged that discussion of the
southern race question should cease.
You are taunting US" said he, about
our treatment of the negroes of the
south. hoping at the same time that
we Will not interfere with your game
of deviltry in the Philippines. We
hope you will help us of the south to
get rid of the threat of negro domina-
sword of DamOcles. Lynchings will
continue as long as those fiends rape

Burton of Kansas declared that he
never had heard Il speech like that of
Tillman. 1T is astonishing" ne said,
that a senator in one breath should
make an appeal for unsullied govern
ment in the Philippines and i'll the
next breath boast of crimes almost
unparalleled in history" 1t was, he
said. the evident purpose of Tillnan
in his speech to give color to the state
ments made heretofore that Repub-
lican administration had inaugurated
a policy Of brutality unparalleled in
history.
The senator has got my point SX-
actly," interrupted Tillman. The in
fanny rests upon the senators who
helped TO ratify the treaty of Paris, -
to which Clapp of Minnesota retOrted
that the statement was reelection
on William ]. Bryan.
Burton declared there was no au-
thenticated instance of the intentional
killing Of women or children by our
troops in the Philippines. and then,
reading extracts from speeches of
Rawlins. declared that they were false
Rawlins challenged Burton to point
out Il false statement he had made.

Salisbury Declares But One Kind of Peace
l. Wanted.

Is wanted.
London. May Sin Il speech 10 the
Primrose league yesterday, Lord Sails
bury said the government had not re-
ceivcd an iota from its previous peace
terms with the Beers. He congratu-
lated the league OH the staunch sup
port given to conservative governments,
one result of which was that Great
Britain was now supreme in Egypt,
while. with regard to Ireland, the
country need no longer fear the in
sane, suicidal projects of imperial dis
ruption supported by many of the op-
position statesmen"
At the same time he said the coun-
try must not expect the 'asheeS of
past conflicts to he eXtinguished i'm
mediately.
The other day Morley had asked if
there was Il member of the cabinet
of 1899 who, if he could have forseen
the results of the policy on which it
was launching the country, would not
have checked the diplomacy Heading
to such deplorable resuls." AS II mem
ber of that cabinet he 0.ord Salisbury
wished to meet his statement with the
most indignant denial The war had
been used by some politicians for the
squalid purpose of injuring their OPP
ponentS. When Il neighboring power
or tribe invaded his majeeSty's do
miniOns land made an attack which
was great and fragrant outrage" it
could be met only by fighting i'm their
own country those who had despiced
the rights and sovereignty of our
sovereign"
The premier repudiated the asser-
ton that Great Britain was weaken
ing on the subject of peace terms.
He declared the country could not af-
ford to submit to the suggestion that
affairs should be allowed to slide back
into a position where it would be in
the power of the enemy when the
opportunity suited him to renew the
issues for which the country had
fought during the last three years
1t must be thoroughly understood that
the whole government of the country
was TO be of such Il character that it
would be impossible that the struggle
could be renewed.
1t was important that this should
be made clear. for some people thought
the empire might become tired. He
did not wish to convey the idea that
there was any feeling of bitterness
toward the Beers. for there was moth
ing the government more earnestly de-
sired than that they should enjoy all
the privileges conferred on their broth
er nations by the colonial system.
Touching on the question OF impe-
rial federation. Lord Salisbury warned
his hearers of the danger of haste and
exhorted them, in effect, to ''go slow"
and let public opinion all over the
empire crystalline on the subject.

Utah and Kansas Have a Close Shave For
the Lie Direct Over Phil
ippines.

Washington. May S.-DiScuSsions OF
the Philippine bill in the senate took
Il sensational turn again yesterday.
McComas, of Maryland, referring to
the alleged cruelties of United States
soldiers i'm the Philippines-cruelties
which he deeply deplored-tOld of
some of the cruelties which had occur
red on both sides during the civil
war. Neither side, he held, was to be
held responsible for those regretable
occurrences, as neither side approved
of them. In this connection he sug-
gested that the senators from South
Carolina and Mississippi. where there
is less popular liberty than in any
others,' were shouting Ioudest for COLI
stitutiOnal liberty in the Philippines.
These remarks drew sensational re-
ply from Tillman. who declared that it
was no longer possible to sneer away
the responsibility for the infamies
committed by the Americans in the
Philippines.
Instead of APpamattox, What?
He discussed the situation in the
south, and declared that it had been
known prior to the conclusion of the
war that in the south the reins of
government were to be turned over
to the negroes that would have been
inaugurated Il guerilla warfare in the
swamps of the south that would have
kept up indefinitely. In his own state
there were 100000 more negroes than
whites and in Mississippi 100000 more
cOlored than white people. In order
To maintain their self respect the
whites. he declared. were obliged to
take the reins of government in the
south by whatever means they could
using the shotgun as one of the
means.
Refers to the " sand Cure"
Referring 10 the reinauguration of
white supremacy i'm South Carolina. he
said that the whites had secured Il
majority of $500. 1t might just as
easily have been, he said. $4,000 of
$1,000. They simply got such a ma
jority as was necessary. He referred
TO the OutraGes in the Philippines
and then said he had heard only OF
the application of the sand cure i'm
the south. He thought the sand
cure" as described was mild.
When" he declared. 1--WE get ready
to put a nigger's face i'm the sand, we
put his body there too" The south
would not submit TO negro domina-
ton.

SPEAKER. UPHELD
Gully, of the British Commons.
Sustained by Both Vote
and Voice.
IRISH MOTION IS SHOWED UNDER
Conservatives and Liberals Uniting in
Sustaining HIS Ruling-Salis-
bury on the Peace Talk.

London, May S.-The Nationalist
members of the house of commons I'M
successfully attempted last night to
force vote of censure on the speaker
of the house. William Court Gully, in
connection with the suspension from
the house for one week of John Dillon,
the Nationalist who on March 20 ad-
dressed his words to Joseph Chamber
lain, the colonial secretary. j. j. Moo
ney. Nationalist, had previously given
notice that he would move to censure
the speaker. and when Gully took the
chair the Conservative and Liberal
members rose and greeted him with
cheers. The occupants of the Irish
benches remained seated. Mooney, in
moving his resolution, declared that
Dillon'S language upon the occasion
in question had been parliamentary
until he had been provoked by the
grossly offensive and unparliamentary
taunt from Chamberlain.
Redmond Assumes Responsibility
John Redmond, in seconding the
motion, said he formally accepted re-
spOnsibility for it, and the fact that
the member who had been inSulted
belonged to the minority, while the
offender WAS prominent member of
the government, aggravated the case.
Redmond said he hoped the rules en-
forced against the Irish members
would also be used to protect them in
''tihs foreign parliament. BalfOur, the
government leader. declared Moneys
resolution Il grave abuse of privilege.
intended TO bring the authority of the
chair into disrepute. Campbell-Ban-
herman also sustained the speaker,
and Moneys motion was defeated by
n vote of So to 39S.
Speaker Given an Ovation.
This attempt TO force a vote of cen
sure was made the occasion of a re-
markable demonstration of sympathy
for and confidence in the speaker.
After the division the whole house,
with the exception of the Irish MEM
berS. again arose. and with heads un-
covered cheered Gully Justify. In the
lobbies and galleries, which were un-
usually crowded, especially with aris-
tocratic ladies, the speaker was the
recipient Of numerous congratulations.

and is not supplied with Il very great
amount of news gathering implements

precautions were taken he would con-
slider ii his duty to take such measures
to provide for their safety as the sit

reply of the government was not made
public.

General Alexandra NVoS Gil was ap-
pointed minister of war ct about that
time. Intense excitement prevailed
