(By the Associated Press.)

L
Washington, d. c., April 26-Mr. Car
mack of Tennessee, in the Senate today
completed his speech on the Philippine
Government bill which he began yester-
day. He continued his exceedingly caus-
tic criticism cf the Administrations pol
icy and the ultimate end to which it
would lead, concluding by expressing the
hope that the administration would turn
from 1.-The bloody gospel Of the siren
uous life" to the paths Of peace
Mr.. Jones. New, chairman of the
Committee on Contingent Expenses, re-
ported favorably the resolution of the
Committee on Relations withlCuba pro-
viding for an investigation by that COM
mittee of the alleged control of the Gu
ban sugar crop and sugar lands in Cuba.
The resolution was adopted
MIR. Plat, (Conn), presented a confer
ence report on the Chinese Exclusion
Bill. asking that the Senate disagree to
the report and insist upon a further con-
ference. He explained that the only
point of difference between the conferees
OF the Senate and the House was that
the House conferees asked the Senate
conference to eliminate from the substi-
tute passed by the Senate that portion
which provides that the present Chinese
exclusion law be extended through the
life of the present treaty and remain
in force until another treaty stall have
been negotiated.
Mr.. Platt's motion that the Senate
insist upon it's amendment at another
conference was agreed TO.
Messrs. Platt (Conn.), Dillingham;,
Nto, and Clay, (Ga.), were named as
eonterees on the part of the Senate
AT the conclusion of routine business
Mr. Pritchard, of North Carolina ad-
dressed the Senate in support of the bill
for the purchase of a national forest re-
serve in the Southern Appalachian
mountains.
Mr.. Carmack resumed his speech on
the Philippine Government Bill. which
he began yesterday. He read Professor
Scfurman's criticism of the bill to show
that Prof. Schurman believed that the
Philippine Government should be ad-
ministered for the Filipinos BY the
terms Of the pending bill, he said, the
'cieAhuo were the FIilDI0OS as the
pasture was for the sheep-they lived
and browsed there in order to raise wool
for others to wear and mutton for others
to eat.
IF the capet bag government you pro-
pose TO establish in the Philippines" he
crleo, is not thousand times better
tuah that which you established in your
own country after the Civil War. God
nave mercy upon the people of those is
lands..'
Mr.. Carmack referred to the cabled
reports from Manila that General Smith
mad acknowledged ne had given orders
TO make Samar a bowling wilderness
and to XII all over ten is horrible be-
yond the description of words. The pro-
gram, he said. was 20 practice urheard
OF barbarities in the slaughter of the
inhabitants and to have 'he torch COM
plte the work of slaughter.
When the land is without a homs
and the country without a people. tbs
word 'pacified' will be written upon
the tombstone Of the province of Sa
mar"
From the very outbreal, of hostilities
in the Philippines he declared there had
been systematic concealment of truth
which was now coming OFT. 1t was now
known, he said, that ope hundred thous-
and people ha1 perished in a single
province containing SOC, 900 inhabitants.
and yet the people of the United States
knew nothing of it until recently. The
civil government established by this
bill. he predicted, would result in every
recurring insurrection to be put down
by our blood and treasure. What for?
in order that few rapscallions and
carpet baggers might have unlimited Ii
cense TO thieve and plunder
In the course of his remarks he call
ed attention to a report that an Ameri-
can corporation which proposed to raise
rubber trees in Mindauao had arranged
with the Dattos for slave labor and he
nae read an amendment he proposed to |
oHer prohibiting the grant of any fran !
.chise TO persons or corporations which !
proposed to employ slave labor. He !
asked Mr.. Lodge if the amendment |
would be agreeable to him.
L cannot speak for the committees" !;
replied Mr.. Lodge. For myself it is
perfectly agreeable to me- /
He also gave notice of another amend |
ment he would offer to prohibit the en-
try of the F'ilipinos as states in the I'm |!
