SAND AND
GRAVEL
EXAMINED
City Engineer CIapp and Expert
Allan Hazen Look for
FlItering Material.

Yesterday City Engineer clapp and Mr..
Allan Hazen. the expert on filtration,
who came here from Washington for the
purpose OF examining and analyzing the
sand and gravel about the proposed new
filter beds near the Pettaconset pump
ing station. went to the station and were
busy there the greater part of the day.
A large number of excavations have
been made In the locality and many
kinds OF sand. gravel and other earths
thrown out on the surface, this being
done to enable Mr.. Hazen to collect sam
Piles OF the material for investigation as
to their fitness for filtration purposes.
1t is highly desirable TO find the sand
and gravel wanted for the filter beds. IL
possible very near the beds. as the cart
ing or handling OF the material from any
great distance means a greatly increased
cost.
Little canvas bags, holding about
pint and bottles or about the same ca
pacity. were taken along by Mr.. Hazen
and each filled with samples OF the sand
and gravel found, the sand being
brought back III the bags and the gravel
in the bottles.
Each pit where the digging went on
were given the same number as the pit
from which IL came, so that when Mr..
Hazen examines the sand and gravel he
will know from which pit each sample
came from and know just where 10 go
for his Offering material, if he finds any
of II the right kind.
City Engineer Clapp said this morn
ing that abundance of good sand and
gravel had been found In the near vicin-
ity OF the site for the filter beds, and
from what could be seen from super
fetal examination some of II was OF ex-
cellent quality. Mr.. Hazen- will prob
ably return 10 New York tonight. car
rying with him a peck basket full of the
samples taken yesterday
In his laboratory he will make a thor
ough examination of the sand and gravel
and will report his findings later. City
Engineer Clapp and Mr.. Hazen were in
consultation all the forenoon over the
plans for the beds and their preparation.

SENATOR LODGES GRAFTON.

Senator Lodge was accorded an ovation
and he spoke as follows:
Statecraft has a cynical maxim that
there is no such thing as gratitude be-
tween nations. II we must accept this as
true OF those practical dealings when sem
timent comes into hopeless collision with
self-interest we may at least say that no
nation really great will ever hesitate TO
make public acknowledgment OF It's obli-
cations 10 others in the past. The new
world OF North America has had a long
and close connection with the people of
France.
At the very dawn OF the 18th century
Breton fishermen had followed In the
track Of the Cabots and were plying their
dangerous trade OF the coast Of New
Foundland. Thirty years later Cartier
was in the ST. Lawrence laying the found
alton OF New France by the mighty riv-
er Of the North. When the century had
Just passed its meridian the Huguenots
came TO Florida and the great name OF
Coligny links itself with our history as
the inspirer- OF distant expeditions 10 the
untrodden shores OF America even when
France was torn with the wars OF reli-
gion.

that befell two men and the thrilling es-

Washington, April 2S.-During to-
days session or the serate, Senator
Rawlirs. of Utah, continued his speech
in opposition 10 the bill providing for
a form Of government for the Philip

part Of his speech to = discussion Of

and TO other forms Of torture inflicted
upon the F%ilipinos. He had not con
cluded his remarks when the senate
adjourned.
During the early part of the session
the bill providing To- a unio:; railroad
station in Washington was under con
s~ideration, but no action vas taken.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, par
ticipated in the debate on this bill and
soon found himself in a wordy discus
sion with Senator Til!rnan, who
charged that the Massachusetts, sena-
tor had been iiscourteous TO him at
which he was surprised because the
senator was always a stickier for good
order, senatorial dignity n docorum
n should set a high example that
senators might initiate. But the SEN
ator from Massachusetts," said Sena-
tor Tillman, '~habitually breaks GER
tain rules of The senate and he should
make allowance for those of US who
have their 'foibles and short COM
ings.'" Senator Tillman opposed the
bill. ,
Senator RawliDs presented many
cases of torture of Filipinos; of the
ton of Filipinos. All this, he said, was
ton of Filipinos. AL lthis, he said, was
done to carry to the Filipinos benign
administration of the American gov

the articles of war were to be cast to
the winds. The war to be waged was
not to be a wal of humanity, but a war
without mercy. It was unciviliZed war

of the senate amendments to the oleo-

By the ruling of the chair the ques-
ton of further amendment of the SEN
ate propositions was confined within
very narrow limits, and SLOW progress
was made. The opponents of the meas
ure who sought to modify the senate
amendments in various places were
outvoted upon every proposition sub

battleships or arrnored cruisers must be
built in a government navy yard Al
the meeting yesterday a provision was
adopted giving the secretary Of the
navy discretionary authority to build
any or all of the new ships in govern

navy yard proposition were not salts
fed with this, maintaining mat as the
navy department was officially opposed
to building in government yards, the
discretionary authority would not be
exercised.
AS a result the provision was amend

the ships in government yards, but the

Washington. April 23.-Ihe war de-
partreTt today made public the teie-
graphic cable correspondence which
has taken place up to date respecting
the Moro outbreak in Mindanao- The
important feature of the correspon-
dence Is the closing chapter, OWE
that General Davis expedition Is not
arbitrarily stopped, but that General
Chaffee is allowed to exercise MS dis
erection. 1t is believed that the pres
enee OF Governor Taft in washington
is the explanation of h presidents d.
rection that General Chaffee shall con-
fer with the acting head Of the Phil
ippine commission before adopting hos
tile tactics.
The correspondence begins with the
cablegram given out last week dated
Manila, April 18th, in which General
Chaffee recites the killing Of the first
American soldier near MalabanS and
the forming OF an expedition under
Baldwin to arrest h murderer.
In answer to this the fOllowI1G dis
patch vas sent.
Washington, AFrll ~.
"Chaffee, Manila:
Expedition ordered under Baldwin
will not leave coast until you near
from here. n will not however, in
terfere with complete preparation.

On April 22nd the following cable
grams were sent General Chaffee.
"Chaffee, Manila:
THE president is anxious that no eX-
pedition be made against Moros until
all efforts by negotiation Ave beer ex-
hausted. To this end he desires that
you confer freely with the acting civil
governor. In the event the force has
to be sent he directs that it go under
the immediate m of General
Davis. The president will give o all
support, but desires exercise OF great
care and prudence. If possible avoid
by all honorable mean a general a
"CORBIN."
"Chaffee, Mania.
With reference to previous cables
on subject it has been suggested to the
president hat possibly surrender OF
the Moro murderers might be effected
by fundamentally of friendly dattoS.
The president desires this considered In
conference with Wright and to have
assurance that every honorable peace
full remedy has been Exhausted.
"CORBIN."
General Chaffee responded to the last
cablegram by a dispatch stating that
to withdraw all the American forces
would ruin our prestige; to withdraw
part of the forces would be dangerous
To this statement, the following re-
Spouse was made today:
''Chaffee, Manila:
Your cable of yesterday has been
submitted by the acting secretary OF
wal to the president, who directs you
keep in mind the presidents orders
but of course do nothing that will I'M
pair our prestige or in any other way
imparil the army. If after the expira-
ton of the time named in your prCcla-
nation and after all possible dlplo-
matte and friendly methods lave been
exhausted, your demand for the Moro
murderers has not been met, o will
act upon the lines that in your judS-
ment will best serve to bring about
peace and order in the island Of Min
