MIR. SIMMONS ADDRESS.
Opposition to the Philippine Govern
ment Bill.

Mr.. Simmons Of North Carolina continued
to address the Senate on the Philippine
bill after The Stars report Of the proceed
ings was closed last evening. In discussing
the agricultural situation in the Philippines
Mr.. Simmons confessed to feeling of alarm
for his own section of the country over the
prospect of the admission to the United
States of the products Of the islands, for
with the cheap labor there those products
could be produced In the Philippines more
cheaply than in this country
In conclusion Mr.. Simmons protested
against the holding of the Philippine Is
lands as possession of the United States
declaring that If retained the Islands could
bring to this country only disaster and mis-
fortune
The Philippine bill then was laid aside
and consideration of the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill begun. The reading of the
measure was commenced, committe amend
ments being agreed to as the reading pro-
crossed
During the reading of the measure Mr.
Platt Comm interrupted to present the
conference report on the Chinese exclusion
bill He briefly explained that after "a
somewhat strenuous discussion the confer
eeS had agreed that no definite limitation
should be placed upon the operation Of the
Geary law as re-enacted. but that it should
remain in force until otherwise provided by
law.
In response to inquiries by Mr. Teller
Mr.. Platt explained that the operation of
the law in the Philippines including a reg
istration of the Chinese in the islands had
been placed in the hands Of the Philippine
commission. but the commission would
have no authority to admit Chinese to the
islands.
Without further comment the conference
report was agreed to. At $40 the Senate
adjourned.

THINKS ADAM A MYTH.
This Does Not Bar Candidates Way to
Ministry.

A dispatch from Elizabeth, N j., yester-
day says:
The Elizabeth presbytery met in ad-
journed session in the Second Presbyterian
Church today to take action on the appli-
cation for licenses to the ministry of Filbert
Lowell and Harrison X. Wright, both Of
whom at the last session of the presbytery
proclaimed that, In their opinion, the story
Of Adam and Eve was mythical Modera-
tor Mendenthal presided at todays session.
Candidate Wright, who was recalled to-
day, said he would not take his views re-
garding Adam and Eve into the pulpit with
him. but If it was to save a man for Christ
he would tell him what he believed in re-
gard to the matter. He qualified his state
ment Of two weeks ago that he believed
the book of Genesis wis allegorical and not
essential. He said today that the book, he
believed, was w1itten3by an inspired man,
who was not a. historian.
The membersoof the iPresbytery then voted
unanimously to- grant Mr.. Wright a license,
and he will be ordained for foreign mission
duty. Mr.. Lowell, thsI other candidate, Is
sick in bed and,is about to undergo a sur
gical operation The presbytery adjourned
until May r. when 1t will act upon his APP
plication. Both young men are from Plain
field. Wright is graduate Of Union Semi
nary and Lowell Of Yale University

demand for the one taken by the govern
ment forces. The response from the lib
eral commanding officer was that he need
ed these launches while they were in the
service OF the government and intended to
keep them for a few days until the present
movement was finished.
l then sent for Mr.. Leer, the manager of
the United Fruit Company, and the acting
consular agent to ascertain the facts in
regard to the launches. Mr.. Leer promptly
denied the accusation, saying he had also
denied it to Colonel Buendias in person.
Under these conditions l sent ashore the
American refugees and soon afterward got
under way and moved close to the lib
era1 camp as possible, then at the sugges-
ton OF the acting consular agent, he
spoke Spanish. sent him over to tell the
liberal commander as proof that 1 was
entirely neutral. / had compelled the gov
eminent forces to restore the launch which
they had held in their possession. and
now repeat my demand for the return of
the launches held by him, with this one
stipulation, which Is. lowing to his isolated
position on an island. away from a base Of
supplies, shall permit him the use of the
launches to transport his men away from
his enemy and to the mainland" distinctly
insisting that under no circumstances were
American launches to be used to bring his
forces nearer his enemy. This he cheer
fully agrees to and promises to execute my
demand for the return of the launches at
the earliest possible moment, in no case
exceeding three days.
When things are more settled here I
shall hasten to Colon and make report in
obedience to the departments cable. I send
this report by the first opportunity. no ca

meet the approval of the department. am

The Memorial Bridge Site.

To the Editor of The Evening Star.
AS the placing of corner stone toward
the Grant Memorial bridge seems now to
be part of the G. A. r. program at Wash
ington in October, a word as to it's location
may not be amiss as viewed by some Ohio
people who love the interest OF our most
beautiful city, and by those here who know
the contour Of the location. The original
plan, notwithstanding the exhaustive work
Of the park commission, Is much prefera-
bic to the route by the lower level through
the flats, angling as the latter course does
when crossing the river. If the commits
sion sees fit to bridge to the proposed Po-
tomac park from the lowlands, well and
good. but for q memorial to patriotism.
nothing can be better than the location so
fily Joining the White House and War,
State and Navy buildings via New York
avenue to the burial spot OF our army and
naval heroes. Moreover, the panoramic
effect from the steps OF the Capitol will be
much finer. viewing the elevated structure
Of grand design as 1t stretches in sidelong
view across the Potomac rather than a
structure, however ornate, lying at much
lower level. and turning off at a left angle
rather than continuing a straight course
across the river. H. B. HANFORD,

The work Of remodeling the old ice stor-
age house on the western side of the Ameri-

arriving here. In consequence Of the fire
at the wharf 1t is understood the ice house
at the foot of Sd street southeast will be in
use during the coming summer.
The receipts of shad and herring at the
wharf continue to be quite heavy. but so
great is the demand for the shad that
prices have been so high up to this time
that few, II any, have been sailed and
packed. Herring are. however. being cut
by the thousands daily. The receipts Of
other varieties of fish are also good at the
wharf, and prices are as follows: For roe

The supply of oysters at the wharf, while
not over large, Is still ample to meet the
demands, which are very light. While the
oyster season Is said to end with the close
of this month. the bivalves will be on sale
for several weeks yet. Prices this morning
ranged from 40 to 80 cents per bushel.

Ernest Wilde. a British subject. occupies
a cell in the guard house In jefferson bar
racks, awaiting transportation to the feder-
al prison on Alcatraz Island in California

swearing that he was a citizen of this
country, and was sent to the Philippines.
He had been In active service on Luzon
Island only about month when he dis
appeared from the camp of Company b Of
the 18th Infantry at Panequie. For twenty
days he remained absent. Then he turned
up in Tarlac and surrendered. He said he
had seen captured by the insurgents. and,
with much difficulty, had escaped. With
him was soldier named Kenney, from
the 4th Cavalry, who told the same story.
Instead of taking wilde's word the COM
manding officer at Tarlac ordered him be-
lore general court-martial charging him
with desertion and specifying that he had
quit camp to join and fight with the Fill
Pine insurgents. On this charge and speci-
ncation Wilde was convicted.
