THUS ARGUES Mr. MORGAN
Free Trade in AL the Union Under
the Flag
flLlplNos HAD A GOOD GOVERNMENT
Mr.. Morgan Urges the Establishment Of an
Executive Department For the Control
Of the Philippines A Brush
With Tillman.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 3l.--An extended
speech upon The pending Philippines
| tariff bill was delivered in the Senate to-
day by Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama. While
he discussed in a general way the pend
ing measure, he devoted his attention
particularly to an amendment to it which
he offered last week. He maintained
that the enactment of the bill as it
stands now would not be a constitutional
remedy for the situation which the
situation is designed to relieve, but with
the adoption of his amendment the bill
would stand the closest scrutiny of the
courts. The Alabama Senator did not
discuss the present phases of the Phil
ippine question, devoting his entire
speech to consideration of the legal
and constitutional questions raised by
the presentation Of the tariff measure.
An hour and half was devoted TO
consideration of measure providing for
the increase of the salaries of judges of
the United States courts, bur no action
was taken on the bill
The bill was opposed by Senators
Berry, of Arkansas, and Blackburn, of
Kentucky, the former saying many peo-
pie thought the justices were not worth
$4,000 year. Senator'S Spooner, of
Wisconsin, McComas, of Maryland, Haw
ley. of Connecticut, and Fairbanks, of
Indiana, supported the increase.
When the Philippine tariff bill was
taken up Mr.. Morgan argued that Con-
gress had no constitutional authority TO
levy discriminating tariff either upon
imports or exports between the United
States and the Philippines
II believe in the doctrine OF free trade
in all parts of the United States, whether
covered by the Constitution, the flag or
BOTH he said.
Mr. Morgan contended that an export
duty is plainly forbidden, even though,
in the case of the Philippines. the duty
was levied there.
Speaking of the claims which had
been made that there was no lawful
government in the Philippines, Mr.. Nor
gan with great earnestness said, there
is a government there and he was glad
to say very good government, suitable
to the character of those people and the
circumstances in which we found them"
Mr. Morgan, in referring to the work
or the Philippine commission, their per-
sonality and ability, paid a tribute to
the late President Mckinley who, he
said, was the happiest man in the world
in making selections of men for respon-
sible positions.
At cne point Mr. Tillman asked: Did
you say we are in the Philippines with
the consent of those people?"
Mr.. Morgan replied saving that he did
not propose to be interrupted just for
the amusement of the Senator from
oSuth Carolina. Mr.. Morgan urged the
establishment of an executive depart
ment for the control of the Philippines.
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned until Monday.

Little Elsie Tins, the 16-months-old

istered teaspoonful of the poison to
the little girl before she discovered her
mistake, and, though doctors worked

the acid could not be overcome.
Elsie had been suffering with an abb

eral days, and physician had prescribed
a wash of carbolic acid and an internal
medicine. Both medicines were in ex-
actly similar bottles, which Mrs. Tins
had placed on table side by side.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Vast Area Of Arid Lands.

The Newlands Irrigation bill was re.
ported to the House by Representative
Mondell, of Wyoming, for the Irrigation
Committee.
The report says that the territory af-
fected by the bill is nearly one-half the
area of the United States and that in
the 10 arid land States there are over
535,oooooo acres, or more than sixth
of the area of the country of public LAND
subject to entry. OF this vast tract only
100000 acres will produce crops with.
out irrigation, showing the wide extent
of the arid districts.
Mr.. Mondell points out that with such
vast domain no agency other than the
government can deal adequately with the
problem of irrigation. He also shows
that irrigation long ago passed the ex-
perimental stage and that its great ad-
vantages have been established in this
country and abroad. The bill, he says
proposes no taxation TO carry out the
project the entire expense being derived
from the sale of public lands in the
States TO be irrigated

GEN ruNsroNs WARM TALK.
Rather See Agitators Hanged Than Soldiers
kiIicd--FiIpinos iiurderers.

New York (Special) Gen. Frederick
Funston was the principal guest at
dinner at the Lotus Club. Discussing
the conduct of the war in the Philippines
he declared there had never been war
in history where the soldiers had shown
such humanity as had the American
troops i'll the Philippine Islands He
told of I'd American soldiers who had
joined the Filipinos and who were after
ward captured and executed as traitors,
and then said
There are many men in the United
States who did more with their mouths
and minds to aid the insurgents than did
these poor men with the Krag- -Jorgen
sen rifles. ] would rather see those men
hanged for treason than to see one of our
soldiers dead on the field of battle"
"All sorts of men get into the army"
said General Funston There are good.
bad and Indifferent, but believe that o5
per cent. of the American soldiers are
brave and humane lot of men The
other per cent who have been writing
letters TO newspapers have ornamcnted
the inside of grog house for longer
time than they have distinguished them
selves in the field"
General Funston then mentioned sew
eral instances of personal bravery on the
part of the men in the army which re-
suited in their death. including those of
Captain Godfrey and Sergeant O'Brien.
He was present when Sergeant O'Brien
was shot, and said it was "one Of those
wild moments that are worth 10 years
of humdrum existence" His listeners
cheered the remarks
Then General Funston said: "All Of
those men who have fallen since De-
cember. 1000. have been victims OF lot
of misinformed and misguided people
here in the United States. 1t is perfectly
proper for us to have all sorts'of opin-
ions as to what we should do with the
Philippine Islands, but for heavens
sake, let us keep them to ourselves until
every square inch of that territory rec
ognizes the sovereignty of the United
States"
