Washington, May 6.-For four hours
fierce discussion of the Philippine
situation ragged in the senate. 1t was
started by Senator Beveridge of
the opposition because, as he. SAID,
they persisted in telling in their
speeches only one side of the story.
While ne admitted that some out
RACES had been committed by Ameri.
can soldiers in the Philippines it was
true, too, that unparalleled kindness
had been shown by American troops
to Filipino prisoners and wounded.
Food and medicine. he said, had been
shared with them, and they had been
succored on the battlefield and cared
for tenderly in hospitals. Senator
Carmack and Rawlins warmly re-
scented the imputation of unfairness
Senator Rawlins declared that no
partisan motives had actuated the on
ponents Of the present Philippine
Policy, but they were moved only by
patriotism and love of country
Senator Turner of Washington de-
livered a scathing criticism on the
methods practiced by the military au-
thorities in the Philippines. The
house joint resolution making an
additional appropriation of $4,000 for
the dedication of the statue of
Marshal de Rochambeau to be I'M
yelled in the city of Washington was
passed.
The house adjourned Immediately
after the reading of the journal out
of respect to the memory of Represen-
tative J. S. Salmon of New Jersey.
This is the third consecutive Iegisla.
tive day on which the house has paid
similar tribute of respect to one of
It's deceased members. Never before
in its history have three desks been
draped at the same time 1t was
coincidence remarked upon by mem
bers with the deaths of Messrs. Cum
mings, Otey and Salmon that Mr.. Cum
mings was appointed on the com
mlttee to attend the funeral of Mr..
Cummings and Mr.. Salmon was des-
ignated to attend the funeral of Mr..
Otey.

/ tured and dies at the hospital. Again
the hotel is mentioned. and lots of peo-
pie think the affair happened in the
hotel.
That's one week only. The fact
that the hotel was mentioned in the
newspapers was no fault of mine, but
it hurt us just the same. w e take ev-
cry precaution. yet sometimes a man
will slip in here and commit suicide
II a man who registers looks wild he is
watched-if he is very bad the clerk
tells him we have no rooms But oc-
casionally they get past US. The next
day the people read that John Smith
shot himself while in his room at our
hotel. Men who intended to come to
cur house will go to another when they
read that in the paper coming in on
the train. If a man is from out of
town, Oshkosh, for instance, the whole
! town talks about this hotel, and We get
no business from there for year, or
until the affair is forgotten.
! Then we are troubled with certain
men who celebrate with too much en-
thusiasm when they reach Chicago.
Some of them use a couple of rooms
for two or three months every year,
and we don't like to lose their patron
age so we have to handle them with
diplomacy. A little poker party in
one of the rooms sometimes costs us
as much as the money that changes
hands 10 times over. The drummers
make too much noise; we demonstrate
when other guests complain at the
office. and they may leave us entirely
Yet we nave to protect the other
guests.
Il read in the papers about the worry
hotel men have over the loss of linens
and silVerware and china taken as SOU
venirs, but these troubles are petty
alongside some of the others. A hotel
man must guard his house as a father
does his home, but he's at a big disad-
vantage, because his is a public place

| liberty in the Philippines. Senator Till
man of South Carolina, replying, de
clared it was no longer possible to
sheer away responsibility for in
| famies committed by Americans in
| the Philippines. He insisted that, in
order to maintain their self respect,
the white people of the south were
| obliged to subdue the negro by what
ever means they could, using shot
guns as one of the means. He frank
| ly described how the negroes had
! been defeated at the polls, admitting
the whites had gotten just such ma
jOrities as was necessary. Senator
Burton of Kansas arraigned Senator
Tillman for his utterances. He as
serted that the senator who could de-
fend slavery and government by shot
gun could not be expected to think
we'll Of senators who are trying to
carry good government to the Fill
pinOs. Senator Burton declared there
was no authenticated instance Of the
intentional killing of women or chill
dren by our troops in the Philippines.
Upon this question Senator Burton
became involved in an animated con-
troversy with Senator Rawlins of
Utah. A bill was passed fixing the
salary Of the minister to Cuba at $12,-
900, with $4,000 allowance for yearly
rental of the legation residence in
Havana
The house began consideration OF
the bill to enable the people Of Okla
homa. Arizona and New Mexico to
form constitutions and state govern
ments, and be admitted into the
union. Mr.. McRae of Arkansas,
while favoring the admission of the
three territories, gave notice of an
amendment to consolidate Oklahoma
and the Indian territory and admit
them as single states. The house
adopted the conference report On the
Indian appropriation bill
