57TH CONGRESS.
Rawlins on the Alleged Tor
lures in the Philippines.
House Engaged With Senate Amend
ments to the OIec Bill.
Further Changes Limited and but Slow
Progress Made.

Washington, April 23.-RawIins of
Utah. today, continued his speech in
the Senate opposing the Philippine
temporary government bill. He devot-
ed the greater part of his speech to a
discussion of the testimony presented
to the PHILIPPINES committee relating
to the administration of water cure
to natives and to, other forms of torture
inflicted on the Fflipinos. He had not
concluded his remarks when the Senate
adjourned.
During the early part of the session
the bill providing for "A union railroad
station in Washington was under con-
sideration, but no action was taken.
AT the conclusion of routine business,
the Senate resumed the consideration
of the bill for union railway station
in Washington. Teller, Colo. spoke in
opposition to the measure.
During a discussion over an amend
mcnt offered by Patterson to allow all
railroads the use of the proposed sta
ton, Hoar became involved in a wordy
discussion with Iillman, who charged
that the Massachusetts senator had
been discourteouS to him.
The Philippine bill was then taken up
ana RaWlinS, Utah, resumed his speech
begun, yesterday.
i;awlins discussed at great length
the testimony presented to the commit
tee on the Philippines and the reports
made by officials to the war depart
ment. lie presented many cases OF tor
tur2 of Filipinos, of the burning of
towns and of the Incarceration of Fill
pinos- All this, he said. was done to
carry to the Fiiipinos the benign adj
ministration of the American govern
ment. War; he said, was to be waged
relcntlessly, and the articles of war
were to be cast to the winds. The war
was to be waGed ana was not to be
war Of humanity but a war without
mercy. 1t was uncivilized warfare and
without excuse.
Rawlins discussed the campaign
made by Major Waller, in the island
Of Samar. under command of Gen.
Smith He said that Walters men per
formed the most thankless and un-
nnnored task ever soldiers were called
upon to perform. He declared that the
troops were ordered to make the is
land bowling Wilderness and kill
everybody over the age Of 10 years
RawlinS had not concluded his speech
when. at 4.33 =. NJ, the Senate ad-

MISER MURDERED.
Foul Crime Discovered, Yester-
day, at St. John, N. D.
Isaac 0ulton Found Dead and House
Later Set on Fire.
A Tenant and Son and Another Man
Held as Witnesses.

st. John, N. b., April 23.-Isaac Oul-
ton, aged about 50, reputed miser
and who lived in an old building on
Douglas avenue, was found dead, this
evening, his body badly mutilated, and,
later, while Coroner Roberts was pre-
pairing to go to examine the body, Oul-
tons house was found afire and the
body was partially burned before taken
out by firemen.
OultOn owned property and one ten
ant is Thomas Gillespie of Elm street.
1t had been customary for Oulton to
get his meals from the Gillespie fam
lily. Tonight, about 7.3O, Gillespie call
ed at Oulton's with supper for the lat
ter, but found the door locked. He re-
turned home, got his son and a boy
named Thomas Marshall and they re-
turned and broke in buttons door.
There, lying face down on his bed,
his legs overhanging, they found him
dead. There was a wound over one eye
and the left temple was crushed in,
while one of his fingers was lacerated.
Gillespie notified the coroner and was
detained as a witness while the police
were called.
tllNIllls MTS. CllleSDle ndu IOllOW-
ed her husband to Oultons and she
discovered the fire through a window
of the house. The fire brigade, re-
spending to an alarm, found the cloth
ing of Oulton's bed afire, while one leg
of the dead mans trousers was also
burning. They easily eXtinguished the
fire and had the body conveyed by
corOner's orders to undertaking rooms
where DR.. j. II. Scammell held a su-
perficial examination.
DR.. Scammell would not say much
until he holds a post morten examina-
ton, tomorrow, but he said that from
the examination made there are sus-
picions of foul play. Gillespie, father
and son, and Marshall are held as wit
nesses. One story is current that Oul-
ton drew money from the Bank of New
Brunswick, Monday.
The police are as yet without a theory.
Oulton was a peculiar character; the
place he lived, in a room of difapidatei
building. He had not been seen alive,
today, and it was because he did not 20
to Gillespie's house for his meals as usual
that Gillespie was taking supper to him.
