Scrutinizing the Dispatches.

Scrutinizing the Dispatches.
Washington, Jan. 29-A6dressing the
senate Mr. Money took issue with the
statement of the senator from Massa-
chusetts CMr. Hoar) a few days ago to /
the effect that the state of Massachu- |
sets had furnished more troops in the j
war of the revolution than all the sec !
ton south of what was known as the !
Mason and Dixon line.
HIr. Hoar explained that in whatever
he may have said upon the subject re-
/ ferred to by Mr.. Money, he had no
! purpose of instituting a comparison be-
! tween any sections of the country
! Mr.. Lodge insisted that considera-
/ ton of the Philippine measure should
be proceeded with, and declined to
WELD the floor for Mr.. Bacon to con-
tinue revolutionary discussion. HIS
disinclination irritated Mr.. Tillman'
who said:
You can't gag US in your effort to
force this Philippine bill. How does
the senator get his own permission TO
he so iDvidiOus and so ungraciOusT
Mr.. Lodge 9isclaimed any intention
of being ungracious. Mr.. Lodge was
about to proceed when he was inter
rupted by Mr. Hoar, who said:
THE most emphatic argument
against this whole Philippine busl-
ness
rs the healthy discussion of the
patriotic impulses Of our ancestors IN

Continuing, Mr.. Lodge said that a
careful examination of the Associated
press eiispatch showed that General
Wheaton had not criticised the senate
E but had confined his comment to the
/ utterauces of Mr.. Sohurmann, whom
he had perfect right to criticise, II
