He con- tinued his exceedingly caustic criticism of the administration policy and the ulti' mate end to which it would lead, conclud- ing by expressing the hope that the ad- ministration would turn from ''the bloody gospel of the strenuous life" to the paths of peace The earlier portion of the ses- sion was devoted to routine business.

 carmack Resumes His Speech.
 At the conclusion of the morning busi- ness MT Carmack resumed his speech on the Philippine government bill. He read Professor Schurman's criticism of the bill to show that Prof. Schhrman be- lieved that the Philippine government should be administered for the Filipinos By the terms of the pending bill he said the islands were for the Filipinos as the pasture was for the sheep-they lived and grazed there in order to raise wool for others to wear and mutton for others to eat
 ''If the carpetbag government you pro- pose to establish in the Philippines" he cried. 'ie not a thousand times better than that which you established In your own country after the civil war. Lord God have mercy upon the people of those islands,
 MT Carmack referred to the cabled re- ports from Manila that General Smith to make Safnar bowling wilderness and to kill all over ten as horrible beyond the description of words. The pro- gramme. he said, was to practice unheard of barbarities in the slaughter of the in- haDitants and to have the torch com plete the work of slaughter
 When the land Is without home and the country without people the word 'pacified' will be written upon the tomb- stone of the Province of Samar."
 From the very outset of hostilities in the Philippines he declared there had been a systematic concealment of the truth which was now coming out. It was now known, he said. that 1o0,0 900 peo- pie had perished in a single province con- taining 300,000 inhabitants and yet the people of the United States knew nothing Of 1t until recently. The civil govern ment established by this bill he predict ed would result in ever recurring insur- rections to be put down by our blood and treasure What for? In order that a few rascallions and carpetbaggers might have unlimited license to thieve and plunder.
 Arranged for Slave Labor.
 In the course of his remarks be called attention to report that an American corporation which proposed to raise rub Der trees in Mindanao had arranged with the Dattoe for slave labor and he had read an amendment he proposed to offer prohibiting the grant of any franchise to persons or corporations which propos- ed to employ slave labor. He asked MT. Lodge if the amendment would be agree able to him.
 T cannot speak for the committee" replied MT. Lodge. For myself it is per. fectly agreeable to me-
 He also gave notice of another amend ment he would offer to prohibit the entry of the Philippines as states of the Union, and asked for MT. Lodges opinion, but the latter declied to reply categorically, saying he would answer in his own time in his own way. But MT. Deliver of Iowa asked MT. Carmack to define his own po- sition, having first inveighed against holding the islands in perpetual despot- ism and being now solicitous lest they be admitted as states.
 MT. Carmack responded that his own position was clear. While the carpet-bag- gers and adventurers were plundering and getting control of the islands, he said, the government provisions in this bill would be just what they wanted When they had everything they wanted. he said. they would clamor for American markets and American statehood.
 MT. Carmack exprstsed the earnest wish that the administration would turn from the bloody gospel of the strenuous life to the paths of peace.
 Upon the conclusion of MT Carmack's speech the Senate, at 3:20 D. m, went into executive session and few minutes la ter adjourned.
