Calls Republicans Down for Talk
 ing During His Speech
WAS FOR HOME CONSUMPTION
Describes Them as a commercialized, Money-Grabbing, Money-Loving Majority, With a Miserable,
 Damning Attitude.

Washington January 30.-Today's ses- sion of the Senate was entirely void of the tumultuous scenes which characterized the sessions of the past three days After the Philippine tariff measure was taken up at o'clock MT. Tillman delivered a speech devoted almost entirely to dis cussion of the part his state took in the war for the independence of the colonies. Incidentally he referred occasionally to the pending bill, drawing morals, he said, for the benefit of the majority, that they to taking up the Philippine bill the Sem ate passed a number of unobjected bills on the calendar.
 While MT. Tillman was suealSing sew eral Senators engaged in a conversation among themselves To this MT. Tillman objected as, he said, for once he was making a speech for home consumption. "Of course.' he said, the Senators of the Republican side are not interested. I could hardly hope to reach on such a subject the minds and hearts of the cal loused majority-the commercialized. money-grabbing, money-loving majority, as such a subject is not in consonance with the miserable, canting, damnable at titude which that party is now assum- ing"
 He Got Their Attention.
 By this time MT. Tillman had the att tention of all the Senators present.
 MT. Tillman declared 1t was the history
 
 ing such struggle as tile British pressed against the revolutionary colonists, and which is now being carried on by the British in South Africa, that they com mitted cruelties and trampled upon all the obligations of humanity.
 And I would ask the majority in this chamber he said, If in trying to force the Filipinos to accept our government without a promise, they are not inviting the exasperation of the natives and spirit of perpetual insurrection"
 The effort to treat the Filipinos "as chattels-as cattle" he declared, was "damnable," and he charged the ma jority side with being the real mur- derers of our troops in the Philippines.
 But" he asserted, shaking his finger at the Republican side. If we can gag 
 throats a scintilla or small dose of the principles which actuated the men of Massachusetts in IT'S, we will have done our duty to the country and to human ity."
 Burning Question Comes Up.
 In brief colloquy with MT. Burton of Kansas, an allusion was made to the re- mark of MT. Tillman yesterday about the burning of negroes in Kansas MT. Bur ton said no one in Kansas was proud of committing murder and Mir. Tillman retorted that they preferred to murder them in the Philippines" Commenting upon the sedition laws promulgated by the Philippine commission MT. Tillman expressed doubt whether he would be allowed to go at large in the Philip pines if those laws were enforced.
 In conclusion MT. Tiliman said the pending Philippine tariff bill as a pro- position to erect a tariff wall between the United States and another part of the domestic territory was a departure from every principle that had brought this country to the pinnacle of greatness and made it the exposure of the eyes of the world as the land of the free and the home of the brave.
