WANT WHEATON CENSURED
Army Officer Taken to Task in
the Senate.
DUBOIS STARTS DISCUSSION.

Seeks to Know Why He Has Not Been
Reprimanded for His Recent criti-
eism--Money and PIatt In Dispute
Over Philippines.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-An animated
and prolonged discussion was precip-
itated In the senate yesterday over
the right of army officers to criticise
utterances made in the senate or else
where on the conduct Of affairs in the
Philippines. At times 1t became some
what acrimonious, officers in the Phil
ippines being taken sharply to task
for statements attributed to them In
dispatches from the Philippines. Ris-
Ing to q question of privilege early in
the session, Dubois Qda.) had read an
Associated Press dispatch from Manila
in which General Wheaton was quoted
as criticising some utterances Of Pro-
fessor Schurman In a speech delivered
in Boston. Dubois thought the presi
dent, in the circumstances, would be
warranted in reprimanding General
Wheaton for his utterances. He de-
clared that such comment on the ac
tion of the senate was Outrageous
and indecent" and that the minority
had had quite enough of threats and
blackmail.
The debate thus precipitated took q
wide range. Lodge (Mass), SpooneI
(Wis.) and others maintained that nc
newspaper utterance ought to be ac
cepted as the basis Of a reprimand
OF any officer unless 1t were supported
by an investigation.
Rising to speak on the pending ques
ton, Money (Miss) delivered an ex
tended speech, in the course Of which
he went pretty thoroughly over the
whole question.
Platt (Conn.) took sharp issue will
the Mississippi senator on some o.
his conclusions of constitutional law
contending that the United States
could not be expected to grant indie
pendence to the Filipinos and to relin
quish all rights In the islands merel!
because the natives desire liberty.

Immortality" Rev. DR.. Charles II.
Parkhurst, In the Madison Square

will perish utterly either at the death
of the body or after longer or shorter
period of the life beyond the grave.
