DAY SESSION IN THE HOU,E.
Debate on Philippine Bill Continues Several
Speeches Made.
CBy the Associated Press.)


Washington. June 21.-Debate on the
Philippine Civil Government iBll Jagged
in the House today There were sever
speakers, Messrs. Reeves, 0lls.), Brom-
we'll (Ohio), for the bill and Messrs
Maddox (Ga.); Dinsmore, (Ark), and
Thayer, (Mass.), against it. Mr.. Nc
Uellan, IN. W. son of the late Cen
eral George B. Mcclellan, delivered a
short but eloquent defense of the army
Earlier in the day the conference reports
on the Military Academy and Sundry
Civil Appropriation Bills were adopted
Mr.. Hay, Va); Mr.. Clayton, (Ala)
aud Mr.. Mann, Qlls), criticised the ac-
tion of the House conferees in agreeing
to the increase in the number of candi-
dates at West Point proposed by the
Senate. Mr.. Mann said that recently
the number of cadets had been increased
one hundred The increased member
ship of the House would further increase
the carets thirty. and now it was pro-
posed TO increase that number still more.
He did not believe we should legislate
in the dissection of great increase in
the standing army.
Mr.. Clayton called attention to the
fact that the army. which cost annually
$500 600 before the Spanish War now
costs annually s135.O00, 900.
Mr.. Hull and Mr.. Parker IN. j.. de-
Tended the conference report arguing
that the increase was necessary in order
properly to officer the army.
In the discussion of the Philippine
Bill Mr. Reeves contrasted the cond
tion of the Filipincs under the Spanish
regime with their condition now, and
with what it might be expected to be in
the future. He used a wealth of statis-
ties to show that our great market in
the future must be in the Orient. and
that our position at the gateway of the
east would be of immeasurable advan-
tage to us.
Mr.. Maddox. (Ga). who followed Mr..
Reeves, opposed to the bill. The ques
tion of whether we were to permanently
retain the Philippines, he said, would
be ultimately decided not by Congress.
but by the American people.
God was with us during the war
with Spain" he continued. but when we
entered into the peace negotiations the
devil stepped in. and he has been run

Mr.. Maddox questioned Secretary
Roots figures as to the cost CT the war
in the Philippines. lie said he could not
understand how the Secretary got his
figures. The actual amount appropriated
on account of the war with Spain and
the subsequent operations in the Philip

KINETOGRAPH IN COURT.
"Wizard" Edison Carries Patent Fight
Before Supreme Body.

The kinetograph figured in the Supreme
Court yesterday when attorneys Tor MI
Thomas A. Edison filed a petition for
writ of error TO bring up for review the
judgment of the court of appeals for the
twentieth circuit that the invention was
not patentabie for want of novelty.
The petition recites that Mr. Edison
spent S2i goo and three years OF time, and
in 1891 first placed the pictures taken by
the machine before the public.
Although his application for patent
was filed August "a, 1891. it was not IS
sued until August 81, 1897. The success of
the invention was such that in 1895 com
petition entered the field, and in 1898 MT.
Edison brought suit in the circuit court
OF the southern district of New York for
an injunction TO restrain the American
Mutcscope Company from infringing the
patent.
The circuit court issued the injunction,
but the court of appeals reviewed the de-
cree. holding the patent issued TO Mr..
Edison to be invalid in view of the pricr
art. The inventor wants the supreme
Court to say whether or not that Judg-
ment is good.

District Commissioners
Approve the Senate Bill
Granting Privileges.
A TW0-YEAR TIME LIMIT
Anacostia and Potomac River Company
must Carry Out Terms of Contract or
FORFEIT One Hundred Dollars for Each
Day of Such Failure.

Inc District Commissioners yesterday
sent to the Senate District Committee
'heir report on Senate 1ill 5e6s, which
.equires the Anacostia and Potomac River
haiiroad Company to extend its Eleventh
Street line
one Oh the main reasons, say the Com
lnissioners, advanced for the extension of
hie'enth Street was the need of addi-
uohai street car facilities between Sew
enth and Fourteenth Streets. in the Sec
oon north of Florida Avenue, and the
street was opened with the general under
standing that it was to be a railroad
route.
Route Is Settled.
IL trarerses the territory bordering the
thickly settled suburbs of Columbia
Heights and Holmead Manor. and the
trend Of improvements indicates that the
line viii probably be built up with dwell
ings within the course of a few years,
when the need for railway facilities will
be as great there as they now are south
OF Florida Avenue
III is believed that this territory should
be served by a northern extension Of
the Eleventh Street line of the Anacostia
and Potomac River Railroad, and il would
seem that the time has arrived when the
company should be authorized and re-
CURED to make the extension
lhe street is not now in condition for
the laying OF street railway tracks, but
the Commissioners have submitted an es-
innate OF $4,000 to grade and macada-
mize the roadway, and if this is granted
the street, it is believed, can be placed in
proper shape for the construction of an
underground electric railway.
Two Years to Comply.
Section Of the bill requires that the
extension authorized shall be completed
within two years from the date of the is
suance Of permit by the Commissioners.
II is recommended that this section be
stricken out, and that the following be in
serted in lieu thereof:
Section 2. That the extension herein
authorized shall be completed and cars
regularly operated thereon within two
years from the date of the passage OF this
act. Failure to complete said extension
or to operate said cars as herein required
shall render said Anacostia and Potomac
River Railroad Company liable 10 a fine
OF 800 day for each day of such failure,
said fine to be recovered in any court OF
competent jurisdiction upon the suit of
the Commissioners of the District of Co.

Fight for City Attorneyship at Web
ster City Bitter one.
Special to Times
Webster City, March 29.-The city
election to be held in this city Monday
is assuming the aspect of pitched
battle. The contest will be over the
city attorneyship. N. p. Hyatt is run
ming on the citizens ticket and George
F. Tucker on the independent ticket
The outlook now would indicate Tuck
ers election by safe majority.
The bitter fight now in progress came
about Immediately after the primaries
were held. There are five wards In the
city with twenty-five delegates in the
convention. Tucker carried the first,
second, and fourth which should have
given him sixteen votes in the conven-
ton. Hyatt carried the third and fifth
giving him six votes. The second ward
delegation, however, six in number, re-
fused to do the bidding of it's consti-
tuency and cast their votes for Hyatt
giving him the nomination. Tucker
carried the second ward by 16 per cent
more than Hyatt He has now come
out Independently and stands a good
show to win. e. c. Litchfield, chair
man of the secord ward delegation, is
responsible for the whole middle by
refusing to allow his delegation to vote
the wards choice for nominee.
