ZEN. HUGHRS' TESTIMONY.
Il Dealt Entirely with tho Military Conduct
Of Affairs In the Island Of
Samar.

Washington, March 4.-The testi-
mony given by Gen. Hughes before
the senate committee on the Philip
pines yesterday dealt entirely with
the military conduct of affairs in the
island of Samar, where the massacre
of Balongigi occurred last fall. He
said the natives of that island had
been invited to locate near the sta
lions of the United States troops
and that when he left the island last
September about 10000 out of total
population Of 100000 had thus To-
Gated. They had been advised that 1t
WAS necessary for them to pursue
this course in order to secure pro-
lection. In eases where the natives
of village were found harboring In
surrectos the village was generally
burned. Gen. Hughes said that as
rule the policy in given section is
toward severer treatment as the in
surrection continues in point Of time.
He said, however, that the policy to
be pursued was generally determined
by the officers in command.
Gen. Hughes said he had found
the viscayans generally far less civi-
lized than he had expected. He had
supposed that they would follow the
rules and this was one reason for
the change Of policy toward them.

Washington, March 1.-THE senate
yesterday began consideration OF
what ID popularity known as the ship
ping bill--a measure to provide for
ocean mail service between the United
States and foreign ports and the
common defense; to promote COM
msrce and to encourage deep sea fish
cries. Senator Frye, Of Maine, chair
man Of the committee OIL commerce,
made the opening statement in sup
port of the bill. lie occupied the
floor for nearly two hours. The
policy of protection, which has been
applied, he said, to American indus
tries with such benefcent results had
not been applied to the shipping in
dustry. The result of this short.
sighted policy had been the deca-
dence of the American merchant ma
rine and the consequent humiliation
of Americans engaged in the shipping
industry. Senator Frye's address
was largely technical, but his argu-
ment was listened to with close at
tention by senators on both sides
of the chamber.
Prior to the consideration of the
shipping bill many minor measures
were adopted.
Senator Gallinger reported from
the committee on pensions bill pro-
viding for the adjudication by the
court of claims and supreme court Of
pension claims involving difficult or
important questions Of law, as a
means of establishing judicial prece-
dents for the guidance Of the secre-
tary Of the interior and the commits
sioner of pensions.
The house yesterday began con-
sideration of the bill to classify the
rural free delivery service and place
the carriers under the contract sys-
TEN. Only two speeches were de-
livered. Mr.. Loud, Of California,
chairman of the committee on post
offices and post roads, made the open
ing argument in favor of the bill,
speaking for sH hours Mr.. Swan
son, of Virginia, led the opposition.
The debate was interrupted before
the close of the session by the pre-
sentation of the conference report
upon the Philippine tariff bill. Mr..
Payne, the majority leader, declined
to allow the minority more than 30
minutes in which to discuss the re-
port and this offer was rejected. A
filibuster followed and the house adj
iourned after the previous question
on the adoption of the report had
been ordered.
