MT. Carmack succeeded in drawing on

Amendment Concerning Slave Labor.
He had read his proposed amendment t,
the bill. providing that no corporation

cannot answer for the committed -
answered Mr.. Lodge. but, as far as
am personally concerned. il is not in the
least objectionable.
A General Amendment.
Then Mr.. Carmack read his second
amendment. declaring it to be the senti-
ment Of Congress that the Philippines can
never become State in the Union or the
Filipinos citizens. and that, further. 1t
would not be in harmony with the insti-
tutions OF the United States to hold any
territory as colony.
And now would like to ask the Sena-
tor IL he is favorable to this amendment -
he said.
There are SO many propositions in the
amendment that l do not feel able to do
So" was the answer.
Il will divide IL then" persisted Mr..
Carmack. -As to the question of the Phil

Will Answer at Another Time.
81 will answer in my own time and in
my own way. as believe have a perfect
right TO do MIR. Lodge said
Certainly the Senator has a perfect
right, as | certainly had perfect right
to ask the question. The Senator has the
right to answer question-to which the
answer of yes or no might have been
made-by Statement which means Meth
er yes nor no IL he sees fit"
Mr.. Dolliver suggested that he did not
understand Mr.. carmack's views and Mr.
ca-r1ack caused a laugh by retorting
that he was quite sure he had made his
ideas clear to everyone except the Senator
from Iowa.
Mr. Carmack began yesterday at 2
o'clock. He characterized the Philippine
bill as a pitifr1 evasion. The people, he
said. had right to demand that the party
in power should define its policy in the
Philippine Islands. Democratic Senators
lad been asked to wait until the treaty
was ratified: and had waited. They had
been asked to wait till the insurrection
was suppressed: and they waited: and now
there was no other excuse standing be-
tween the party in power and the per
formance Of its plain duty.
Mr.. Carmack attacked the provisions
of the Philippines bill in regard to fran
chises and concessions, and the DISPOSE
tion of public lands. He said the bill pro-
posed to ignore the recommendation of
the Philippine Commission and to make
the oligarchy as complete a despotism as
ever existed
He charged that railways had been pro-
jected solely for the pleasure and recre-
alton OF American officials to be paid tor
in outrages on the Filipinos. the latter
to be shut out of all share in the govern
ment. while their country was being di-
yided up by carpetbag syIdicates
He discussed the order of General Smith
to make Samar bowling wilderness and
10 kill everybody Of ten years and up
ward, a war waged with 'ndiscriminare
ferocity against the whole people, women
and children.

buried race"
Carpetbag Government.
'Tf." he exclaimed. your carpetbag
government in the Philippines be no bet
ter than your carpetbag governments in
the South at the close of the civil war,
then may the Lord God have mercy upon
the people of the Philippine Islands"
Referring to report Of Governor |
Brady, OF Alaska, as to the infamous char |
acter of Federal oficeholders in that |
district Mr.. Cnrmack quoted Mr.. Roose- |
Yelt as delivering an address while Gov |
ernor OF the State of New York. men |
tioning the fact that an Alaska town |
wished to be transferred 10 Canada be- |
cause good government had not been
given to Alaska, and saying:
''If we governed the Philippines as we |
have governed Alaska We shall have the /
same result"
who dares to say" Mr. Carmack
asked. that we shall govern the Philip
pines better than we have governed |
Alaska, any better than we have gov
erned the Indians. any better. than we
governed the Southern people in the
hidccus days of reconstruction
He charged that The sons. brothers. and
cousins OF the American politicians would
De the future ollceholders in the Philip-
pines. and that the Rathbones and the
Seeleys will plunder those islands as they
attempted to do in Cuba.

Jared. for We have become the irnitators

He insisted that il seemed TO be the
