After the passage of the Philippine
Bill. the iNearaguan Canal Bell was
made the unfinished business and it's
consideration will begin tomorrow
During the consideration of the bill Mr.
McLaurin.. (Miss.). denied that the
the Democrats had attacked the army
and placed the responsibility for the out
RACES committed in the Philippines upon
the policy advocated by the Republicans.
Mr. Beveridge, 1nd), said the next
worlds drama would be enacted on the
Pacific and 1t was essential that the
mastery of the great ocean should be ours
and it would be ours.
Mr.. Berry. (Ark), deplored the fact
that the President on Memorial Day, had
seen proper to make "a bitter partisan
speech" The President, he said had
gone back 40 years to rekindle the fires
of sectionalism and had referred to the
acts of an Infatuated mob to Justify, he
supposed, the awful order of General
Smith in the Philippines. Mr.. Culber-
son. (Texas), intimated that the War
Department was endeavoring to suppress
information concerning matters in the
philippines. He then presented the
charges of Private Andrew X. Weir
against Lieut.. F. P. Arnold and the re-
port thereon by Captain p w. West, al
leging cruelties against PHILIPPINES
Mr.. Beveridge inquired if the infor-
nation had come from any officer of the
War Department, saying that it was de-
sirable to learn whether the charges had
peeH III possession OF the department.
After fencing the question for time,
Mr.. Culberson. being pressed, said:
THE question of the Senator might
properly be characterized as impertin-
ent."
Finally Mr.. Culberson declined to yield
further to Mr.. Beveridge.
After some further reports had been
read, Mr.. Beveridge again inquired
whether the matters presented had come
from an officer of the War Depart
ment.
II have already indicated to the Sena-
tor, with sufficient emphasis, that I am
not to be inquired of further" respond
ed Mr.. Culberson.
81 ask the Senator" Mr.. Beveridge
persisted whether not directly or indi>
sec9ly. the papers were received by him
from General Miles,"
Mr.. Culberson to this inquiry made no
reply.
Mr.. Beveridge sententiously remarked,
that is ALL
Mr.. Cuberson (Texas) later referred
to the colloquy between himself and Mr..
Beveridge. Not wishing that he should
ne misunderstood by not answering the
question at the time, he desired to say
that the papers were received from a
party entirely disconnected with the army
