the Philippine tariff bill and amend
ments thereto on Monday at O'Clock

limited to fifteen minutes for each sen
ator, and no debate to be had after th'
voting begins.
Wellington of Maryland, addressed
the senate upon the Philippine ques
ton, stating his points Of disagreement
with the party with which he has beer
identified throughout life. However
the Spanish war brought on parting
ways. He believed that Cuban inde-
pendence could have been brought
about by diplomatic negotiations. Then
came the 'imperialistic tendencies" OF
the Republican party and with them
he could not agree.
The only thing Cuba had been taught
was how the postal official could en-
bezzle half million of dollars. Wei
lington declared his opposition to the
bill under discussion on the "broad
ground of the minority" that there was
no right here to enact such legisla-
ton.
Referring to the decision of the SUI
preme court holding that the Philip
pine archipelago was territory of the
United States, he said it was an aggre-
gation of opinions of Jack Bunsby

up to the trouble in the Philippines,
following the line of argument pur-
sued heretofore by the minority in the
senate.
wellington spoke of the sea battle
off Santiago, and said that Admiral
Schley was in command of the Ameri-
can squadron, but the administration
had been as unjust to him as it had
been to the Cubans and Philippines. |
Schley had not received the credit due
him, but an effort had been made to |
besmirch him and detract from his |
character and bravery The mention |
o. Schley's name caused applause in |
stii of the galleries.
Wellington referred to his conferen-
ces with the late President Mckinley,
and said he bad made it plain to the
president that he (Wellington) would
never vote for anything that meant
permanent retention of the Philippines.
He said Aguinaldo had been captured
by methods unworthy of the American
army and was compelled to write his
urging the Filipinos to
surrender.
