Washir gton, May 16.-An extended
speech by Mr.. McLaurin Of Mississippi
in opposition to the pending Philippine
government bill. was a feature of yes
terday's session of the senate. The
Mississippl senator vigorously assailed
the administrations policy in the Phil
ippines. He deprecated the outrages
perpetrated in the islands, whether
they were committed by the Filipinos
or by the Americans. They Were, in
his judgment, the natural outgrowth Of
the governments policy, for which, he
maintained, the Republican party was
responsible. He urged the abandon
ment of the policy in the interest Of
humanity and justice. He declared
that the minority was not discussing
the pending measure to obtain political
capital. as all the political material
which the Democrats desired had been
made for them by the Republicans in
this congress.
The bill providing for the erection Of
a union railway station in Washington
and the Notifications appropriation bill
were passed.

The house yesterday was plunged
into an exciting debate on Philippine
affairs. Thus far the subject Of al
legged atrocities in the islands has en-
&c ged the attention of the senate alone,
and only occasional echoes have been
heard in the house. But yesterday the
reports Of cruelty and outrage were
rehearsed in the house with a vehem
ence and bitterness. The naval bill was
the order of the day, but it received
only scant attention. after the allega-
tons Of Philippine outrages We're pre-
scented. A speech by Mr.. Vandiver Of
Missouri reciting instances of alleged
outrage brought on the discussion. Per-
sonalities and recrimirations were free
ly passed about.
