 MT Rawlins of Utah later interrupt ed MT Foraker with a question as to the sedition laws enacted by the Philip pine commission and in the course of his remarks said that Mir Foraker had denounced the senator from South Car olina.
 MT. Foraker declined to yield further to MT. Rawins and declared hotly that he had not denounced MT. Tillman, but had merely announced the fact that the senator's utterances on the Ph!lippine question would make him liable to the statutes of the United States it he were not protected by his position.
 We are in a sair way" he said, to subdue the insurrection in the Philip pine Islands and we will accomplish that end if the Filipinos do not get too much encouragement from men in and out of congress- ".....
 MT. Clay of Georgia inquired of MT. Foraker if he had delivered certain address, from which he quoted para graph, and the Ohio senator replied that he had,
 Does not the senator think in quired MT. Hoar, facetiously, that that utterance would render him liable un- der the laws, against treason?"
 ''I think not replied MT, Foraker, in the same vein. But if l were guilty of anything under that utterance am sure the senator from Massachusetts would have been hanged long ago" Uaughter),
 T do not want to be left out Of that honorable coterie," interjected MT Till man.
 Well, we'll include you" said Mr. Foraker, Iaughingly, eff you are anxious to be hanged.
 In response to d question from MT Patterson of Colorado, MT. Foraker said that there was not single word in the sedition laws adopted by the Philippine commission which would enable the au- thorities to touch any man who was loyal to the United States. in this re- ply he referred particularly to an act which provided that no secret society should advocate any policy inimical to the government of the United States or to it's control of the islands
 Mir. Tlllman said he had seen state ment from General Chaffee that prac- tically the entire Philippine population was imbued with a hatred of Ameri- cans. Tn view of this statement" said he, must we continue this infamous typrannical, British, South African
 Then hesitating few seconds he con- tinued: "Tll stop right there, because can't find word hot enough to ap- ply to the situation.
 q want to say to the senator and to the senate" retorted MT. Foraker with great vehemence, that our army will never come back from the Philippines until it comes back victorious. That may as well be understood now as at any future tlme.'
 MT. Hoar concluded the debate of the afternoon and in the course of his re- marks paid brilliant tribute to Thomas Corwin, who in the face of q hostile senate had uttered the senti- ment which he had quoted earlier in the day. He declared that the great ques tions now before the country could be discussed temperately and calmly. It was a great question whether this pow
  of republic modelled after our own it was a great question how tn slaughter of both Filipinos and Americans was to be stopped.
 Men as good as I am, men wiser than I am." said he, differ from me upon these questions. l do not believe the distinguished senator from Ohio !, wants to do injustice to any one. Some i men, however, show their love of the flag by protecting 1t against violence and some show their love of the flag by Keeping it pure and as a symbol of . justice. The one is an honorable thing Ind the other is an honorable thing. { Those who are resisting the present policy of our government in the Philip pines are quite as loyal as those who . are supporting it"
 The difference of opinion which had | arisen among the people he said, in was the Legitimate result of this miserable Philippine business"
 IA o'clock the senate went into ex- ecutive session on motion of MT, Teller md at 6:10 adjourned.
