FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, April 8.-A vigorous
protest was made in the senate by
Senator Cullom of Illinois against the
passage CT the Chinese exclusion bill
in its present form. Coming from the
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, the protest made a deep
impression. Senator Cullom, while
expressing himself as in favor of the
exclU sion of Chinese laborers, said
many provisions o. the pending meas
ure were in contTavention of our
treaty obligations with China. He
urged that the United States could
not afford to ignore it's solemn treat
les, although he conceded the author
fly of congress to enact the proposed
law If it saw fit to do So
The first day of the debate on the
Cuban reciprocity bill in the house
was disappointing from a spectacular
standpoint. There were no sensa-
tional clashes after. the debate was
actually begun and none of the bitter
ness which was expected to crop out
on the floor came to the surface. The
vote on the motion to go into COM
mittee of the whole to consider the
bill, however, developed lines of
cleavage and showed the democrats

Predicted

Manila, April 12.-Major Waller OF
the marine corps. who is being tried
by court martial on the charge of ex-
ecuting Samar natives without trial,
addressed the court yesterday. He
said he was either right or wrong in
his actions and added that he desired
to cite five precedents which came
under the head of his own case. He
alluded to the naval battle at Santiago
where humanity had been shown to
Spaniards who were captured and said
he had many letters from Spaniards
thanking him for kindnesses he had
shown them.
Continuing the major said in 1882
he was with the British forces in
Egypt, where the Arabs captured pick
cts of the Bengal cavalry, and decap-
itated the prisoners and placed their
heads on poles Afterwards all the
Arabs who were caught were shot
without trial. During the campaign in
China the Chinese mutilated and tor
tured the wounded to death. Conse-
uuently. when a boxer or a fanatic
was captured he was executed imme-
diately. This was true in the case of
the troops Of every nation in China. 1t
was true that during three weeks he
commanded Americans there. But
the same thing occurred later, when
he was no longer in command. No
protest was made and he had every
right to believe his acts were ap-
proved. so far as the American forces
were concerned. He knew they were
approved by those of other nations.
ct is impossible to conceive such
| treachery as that of the natives of
Samar,"" said the major. They revel
| in blood and have an appetite for wan
ton sacrilege of the human body.
These fiends stole Captain Cornells
| class ring, filled soldiers bodies with
! jam and jelly and attempted to MUIR
| der my command. I shot them.
| honestly thought then that I was right,
| and | believe so now. Neither my peo-
pie nor the world will believe me to
| be a murderer"
| Captain Arthur T. Mark Of the ma
rine corps, representing Waller, in a
| forceful argument maintained that
Walters actions were justified by
martial law, quoting numerous au-
thorities on the subject Captain
Mark also said he regretted very
much that the prosecution had seen
fit to call General Smith. He claimed
all testimony went to show the major
was justified.
At the close of the arguments for
the defense the general feeling was
that the result of the trial would be
an acquittal for Waller. Judge Advo-
| cate Fingsbury of the 30th cavalry will
reply today

time since her romantic engagement
on shipboard to Jasper P Oglesby,

real and in earnest. I was really and
truly engaged to Mr.. Oglesby. We be
came acquainted coming over on the
St. Paul and at once liked one another.
He paid me marked attention from
the start, and l think it must have
been a case of love at first sight on
the part of both Of us. We became en-
gagged with the full consent of my
parents, which was obtained after the
st. Paul landed. 1t was far from a
joke. I do not believe Mr.. Oglesby
can have said what he is reported to
have said"
During the interview Miss Rogers
nearly broke down several times.
There were tears in her eyes ard she
spoke with reluctance of the shatter-
irg of her pretty romance.
Young Oglesby's wooing attracted
the approving attention of all the so
ciety folk on board the steamship, who
watched it develop into an openly an,
nounced engagement, eliminating in a
supper on board ship at which many
of them were guests.
Jasper Oglesby is but 20 years cid
and is the youngest son of the former
governor of Illinois. Miss Rogers had
been travelling abroad with her uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. George A
Wheelock. She is a granddaughter OF

CIVIL BILL REPORTED.
House Committee Files Conclusion on
Philippines.

Philippines.
Washington, April 1.-THE report
OF the house committee on insular al
fairs on the bill for the administration
of civil anairs in the Philippines was
filed yesterday. It says now is the OPP
Fortune time to make a definite prom
Use to the Philippine people that they
shall have share in the central gov
eminent of the islands. Much atten-
ton is devoted to the proposed coin
age system, based on a gold standard
which differs from the silver system
proposed by the senate bill. 1t is
pointed out that the house plan fol-
lows the recommendation of Governor
Taft and the government experts.
The democratic minority report
amounts to a declaration OF it's policy
on the Philippines. It denounces the
ri esent form of government and urges
the substitution of "a more righteous
and humane policy" 1t also declares
for unqualified and absolute indie
pendence'' for the Filipinos.
