There was a remarkable demonstration
when Mr.. Williams concluded. Many of
the republicans joined with the democrats
in the applause. and not a few of them

gra tuate him.
Mr.. Crumpacker Qnd) closed for his
side. After a general defense of the adj
ministration he presented a careful argu-
ment in support of the bill reported by the

GENERAL DEBATE CLOSED.
of the Philippine Bill in the
House.

General debate on the Philippine civil
government bill was concluded In the Rouse
last night. Two strong speeches. cohciuueu
tho afternoon session, one by Mr.. Williams,
democrat, of Mississippi, and the other by
Mr. Crumpacker, republican, of Indiana
Recalling Mr.. Lands story, told earlier
in the day, of the dying soldier who had
returned from the Philippines, Mr.. Will
liams said the boy had died to give life to
a treaty the underlying and fundamental
idea of which is that despot has a right
tC sell the independence and nationality OF
a people to free republic
1.-The time for the gentleman from Mis-
sissippi to have thought of that was When
the treaty was up for ratification" inter-
posed Mr.. Lands.
.'The gentleman did think of it them,
replied Mr.. Williams, land a majority or
the democrats in this country thought or II
then. The mistake of one democrat who
was a leader then and is a great and hon
est man now cannot be charged up for all
time against righteous sentiment But
whether the democratic party was right or
wrong, whether the democratic party made
a mistake or not, the question is now and
here Have you right to buy from des-
pot the nationality and the independence of
a people? That is the question"
'In the Philippine Islands, again inter-
posed Mr. Lands, I'VE are doing exactly
as we did when we annexed Florida; we
are doing exactly We did when We an
n6Xe0
what we did when we took California,
New Mexico and Arizona.
I'VE are not doing in the Philippines"
continued Mr.. Williams, what we did in
Florida We did not do in Louisiana nor
in any other place ever annexed to this
country what we are doing in the Philip
pine Islands. Every man knows that hith-
erto we have annexed unsettled areas peo-
pied with white race or else peopled with
an Indian race SO sparsely settled that
thew did not interfere with home making
in the annexed territory by the sons and
daughters of American people Every man
knows that this is the first time that We
ever undertook to annex against their
will, fighting with arms against it, popu-
lation denser than that in the state of
Mississippi today. Every man and nearly
every woman and every boy, II General
Smith is to be believed, Is fighting against
us as against despotism. The gentleman
knows that the American flag never before
went anywhere that 1t was not hailed as n
harbinger of liberty and as a protector Of
