SENATE.
Washington, D. c., May 26.-In the
senate today Gallinger Of New Hamp
shire, offered a resolution of the jul
dietary committee on lynchings in the
United States with view of ascertain
ing remedy. s-s
Gallinger said the lynchings were not
confined to the south. Horrible cases
occurred in the north and white men
as well as black We're victims. During
the past ten years 1858 lynchings oc-
Cured in the United States. If the
such occurrences he deemed 1t right to
do so. He said he read the Associated
Press account of the lynching of ne
gro in Texas few days ago. He said
history did not furnish more fiend-
ish instance of mob wrath. The whole
wretched business, he said was dis
grace to American manhood. If the
lynchers are apprehended, he said, the
federal government is powerless and
the states have exclusive jurisdiction.
Washington, May 26.--Culberson Of
Texas, presented and had read an ac-
count of the lynching in Kansas, say
ing he wanted it shown that the crime
of lynching was not confined to any
one state or section. He hoped the New
Hampshire senator would not single
out his state when he wanted to bring
such matters before the senate. After
remarks by Hoar upon the constitu-
tional feature the matter went over.
The Philippine bill was taken up and
Patterson Of Colorado, made speech
in opposition.
Patterson read extracts of report
of misters' meeting recently IN Bos-
ton in the course of which addresses,
the ministers stated that the American
flag had been disgraced in the Philip
pines by the commission of tragedies
and horrors on the islands although no
special attack was made upon the
president and secretary of war.
Patterson referred to the editorials
from the Denver News which Foraker
read in the course of his speech. These
editorials strongly urged the retention
Of the Philippine Islands and advocated
the government policy as to the is
lands. Patterson said he was RESPONSE
BILE for the utterances Of the Denver
News then and now. He said ne was
Of the type Of hundreds of thousands
of American people who held views
similar to those expressed in the Dem
yer News editorials and subsequently
had changed those views. Just prior to
the ratification of the Paris treaty he
changed his opinion and since that time
advocated strenuously the indepen-
dence of the Filipino people.
Patterson declared that after the cap
ture Of Manila, "a censored press, de-
liberately guided by the powers in
Washington had misrepresented the
situation In the Philippine Islands.
He read some extracts from editorials
Of the Denver News since the time re-
ferred to declaring that the most Sub
timely grand and national deed" which
the United States could perform would
be to extend independence to the FIJI
pinos. He urged that Foraker had not
"been frank and candid" In quotations
from the Denver News. Foraker resen-
ted the imputation Of q lack Of fair
ness. Patterson insisted that Foraker
had omitted editorials which presented
the question in it's true light.
