GEN. SMITH, in command OF the
military forces on the island OF Samar,
in recent orders issued to the officers of
his brigade, adopts the most stringent
and at the same time the most original
methods for the suppression of insur.
rection within his Jurisdiction. All
Filipinos are to be considered and
treated as enemies. Only positive acts
OF friendship will free them from sus-
picion. General Smith charges the
Weather classes and the priesthood
with encouraging the insurrectos and
declares that the cloth shall not pro-
act the priest nor influence the rich
sympsthizer. Both, he says, are to be
watched carefully for some act 10 aid
OF the "rebels." Such as are detected
or placed under direct suspicion are to
be arrested. II evidence is forthcoming
to enable a conviction, trial will fol-
low. Otherwise such suspects will be
held indefinitely as prisoners OF war.
The measure devised by General Smith
he refers to as being adopted to create
"a burning desire for peace" Much less

sfraid my mission was failure. l saw
many more things than many of you
may be aware of. l equally heard
good many things. Amongst others,
many kind words OF individuals, as
we'll as the shouts OF welcome of thous-
ands OF your countrymen. What | ex.
press in your presence l express in the
presence of your nation-my heartfelt
thanks for the cordial reception and
good feeling l met with during my
stay 10 your country.
at will be my duty to inform his
majesty the Emperor of this fact. l

IN OPPOSITION TO SHIP SUB.
SIDES,

For nearly two hours yesterday MIR.
Vest addressed the Senate In opposi-
ton to the pending ship subsidy bill.
Despite his evident feebleness, he spoke
with force aud fire and at times became
brilliantly eloquent. He carefully
analyzed the pending measure and par
ticularly attacked the present naviga-
ton laws, which he declared were
relics OF barbarism and responsible for
the decline Of our merchant marine.
Mr.. Vest declared that 70 per
cent. of the subsidy which would
be received by ships on the
Atlantic would 90 to the Interna.
tional Navigation CompaDy-the Amer
lean Line. The pending bill, he said,
would take money out oithe Treasury OF

they carry single postal card or not.
The peoples money ought not ID be
paid out 10 individuals or corporations

gested In the present bill.
Mr.. Tillmsn followed with q brief
speech 10 opposition to the bill. He
denounced the policy Of giving subsidies

that the four scout ships. st. Paul, Paris

FREE RURAL DELIVERY SERVICE
The bill to classify the rural free de-
livery service and place the carriers
under the contract system, which bias
been debated in the House for over o
week, was passed yesterday evening,
but in form that completely changed
the purpose for which it was framed.
Before 1t was passed the bill was
altered radically by its opponents.
All the provisions relating to the
placing OF carriers under the contract
system was stricken out, aud the salary
system not only was continued, but the
maximum salary Of carriers was In
creased from $500 to 5000 per anDum.
A motion offered by Mr.. Williams
(dem., Ills) to recommit the bill With
instructions to report back an amend
ment providing for the dismissal from
the service OF carriers who should use
their influence In favor OF any partic-
ulsr party or for any particular can
didate, was voted down-96 to 14l.
As passed the bill classifies the rural
free delivery service and fixes the COM
pensation Of employees, as follows:
Speciol agents 10 charge Of divisions,
not exceeding S2,400 per annum;
special agents, four classes, graded
from 81, 300 to 81, 600; route inspectors,
four classes, from 5000 to 81 200; clerks,
four classes, from 5000 to 81 200. The
compensation OF carriers is not to
ex coed 5000.
Mr.. Browell (O.) offered an amend.
vent to take from the carriers the
objection OF the civil service law,
under which they we're placed by
executive order, but his amendment
was lost.

FIFTY SEVENTH CONGRESS.
Washington, d. c., March IL.
SENATE,

10 the Senate this morning Mr.
Berry called attention ID the fact that
though the committee on privileges and
elections had before it for some time
several bills providing that U. s,
Senators be elected by direct vote OF
the people, no action had been taken
thereon. He insisted that some report
should be made.
Mr.. Burrows, chairman of the COM
mittee, replied that the committee had
no disposition to delay or ignore such
measures and that they would In due
time be reported for the Senste's
action.
Mr.. Mitchell advocated favorable
action by the committee.
MIR. Hoar aRgressively opposed any
such legislation. He coutended that
any such action as was proposed, EN-.
bodying, as it did, the matter OF equal
representation, would change the
principle upon which the constitution
was based. He did not believe that
such states as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, or any other would
submit to any such legislation. "If the
Senate will not defend itself from such
so.called popular movements" he said
"it is not to be defended at ALL"
Mr.. Hoar said that until the public
showed that it desired such legislation
he would oppose it.
HOUSE.
Representative Thsyer arose to a
question of personal privilege. He
stated that it had beeh currently re-
ported 10 many reputable newspapers,
and by many republican members of the
House, that in the event of o reduction
OF the duty on Cuban sugar the sugar
trustr would be the chief beneficiary.
He said it was reported that the
sugar trust had purchased from the
Cubsns this years crop at a ruinously
low price and that any tariff reduction
would benefit only the trust. He said
twas the duty Of the House to investi-
gate these charges before any action is
taken by the House and asked tor the
appointment of committee OF seven
members to conduct such investigation.
Mr.. Loud raised q point OF order
which the Speaker sustained.
MIR. Thayler appealed from the
Speakers decision.
Mr.. Payne moved to lay the appeal
on the table.
On this Mr.. Thsyer demanded the
yeas and nays and a roli.call was or
dered.
By vote OF 125 10 81 the House
sustained the Chair, and the appeal
was laid on the table.
The House then, 10 committee OF the
whole, began consideration OF the post
Office appropriation bill.
