In the senate.


Washington. Feb. 2l,-With the ex-
ception of few minutes given to rou-
tine business, the senate devoted Its
entire session to the Philippine ques-
ton. Mr.. Patterson OF Colorado, one
OF the minority members OF the Philip
pines committee, delivered his first ex-
tended speech In the senate. and was
given a most attentive and caretul
hearing He discussed principally the
seditioE laws enacted by the Philippine
commission, vigorously attacking the
authority OF the commission TO enact
and enforce such laws. He compared
information furnished by the execu-
tive departments of the government
with some of the statements of Gov.
Taft in his testimony before the Phil
iPpines committee with respect to the
capabilities of the Philippine people
and declared, with some heat, his be-
lief that Gov. Taft misrepresented the
true situation in the islands for mo-
tives unknown. H. asserted that IL the
six millions of Christians In the Phil
ippines were Protestant Christians the
cruel lies practicad on them by the
American authorities would have to
stop, as no member would be able TO
withstand the wrath of the Methodists,
Baptists and Presbyterians of this
country.
Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota presented
legal and constitutional argument in
support of the governments action In
the Philippine archipelago. and sharply
criticised Mr.. Patterson for injecting
into the controversy the question OF
sectarianism.
Mr. McCumber OF North Dakota
urged that con grass should not bind the
future now by a declaration OF a def-
mite policy regarding the Philippines
as 1t was desirable that all possible In
formation should be in hand before q
permanent policy was determined upon.
In the House.
The house spent the day working on
the Indian appropriation bill. Forty
two of the sixty-two pages were dis
posed Of Several amendments were
adopted but none Of much Importance.
Washington, Feb. o. - For more
than six hours yesterday the senate
had the Philippine tariff bill under con-
sideration. Mr.. Bate tDem.. TennD
delivered a carefully prepared speech
in opposition to the pending measure.
He was followed by Mr.. Spooner OF
Wisconsin in a defense of the Repub-
lican attitude toward the Philippine
Islands. He became involved frequent
ly in heated colloquy with members or
the minority. He concluded with an
arpea! to congress to stand by the poll
tics of Mckinley and Roosevelt Mr..
Tillman began a characteristic arraign-
ment of the administration in the Phil
lipines but had not concluded when the
sci ate adjourned.
In the House.
The house passed the Indian appro-
priatiou BILL No amendments OF inn
portance were attached to 1t yester-
day. The latter part of the session
was devoted TO the consideration OF
private claim bills, a number of which
were passed.

washington Feb l9-The speech or
Mr.. Wheeler of Kentucky in the house
last Friday when he bitterly assailed
Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote
and criticised the official preparations
for the reception of Prince Henry, had
a sequel In the house yesterday during
the debate on the Indian appropriation
bill. Mr.. Gillat of Massachusetts, in a
half-hour speech, declared that the in
temperance of NJ. Wheeler's language
carried its own condemnation. Never
theless, he Girattl grievously deplored
such an affront to a foreign country
During the course of the speech two
cmocrats-Robinson of Indiana ana
Thayer of Mas sachusetts--disclaime
any sympathy with Mr.. Wheeler's ut
terances. These disclaimers drew from
Mr.. Talbert of South Carolina the
statement that he desired to share in
the responsibility of the sreech, every
word of which ne said he Endorsed.
Mr.. Wheeler. himself, subsequently re-
Piled to Mr.. Gillett, reafiirming what
he had said. and declaring that he
would stand by his words whether they
were discreet or not. He read num-
Der of letters kilograms and one cable
gram from London commencing his
utterances. The incident was the
feature of the day.
In the Senate.
1t was agreed by the senate yester-
day that final vote on the philippine
tariff bill and the pending amendments
should be taken next Monday after
nc on at o'clock. The only stipulation
made by the minority was that the
last days debate should be devoted to
speeches not exceeding fifteen minutes
in duration. Senator Wellington or
Maryland spoke yesterday in opposition
to the pending bill and Senator Stew
art OF Nevada in support of the meas
ure.

For the benefit of the St.. Cloud
Times, we will say this-that any
move to discredit the last nation
al platform Of the democratic par
ty, would have been overwhelm-
ingly defeated in the democratic
state convention, and rightly so.
There would not have been fifty
votes in the convention for any
such cowardly proposition. If
the editor of the Times doesn't
know this, he doesn't know, the
temper Of the democrats of this
district and the state. There were,
it is true, a few, very few, faint
hearts, who thought that by elimi-
mating all reference to the last
platform they might coddle some
who fought the party in two cam
paigns. They found, however,
that while there was a feeling for
harmony, and a desire to welcome
back all who would come, that
there was no disposition to write
surrender in the platform: This
was not because of any clinging
to free silver, because it was
agreed that the logic of events
had proved the quantitative theory
of money to be correct and that
free silver was not an issue. There
was substantial agreement on this,
and it was also agreed that the
Kansas City platform, outside of
the money question, contained
nothing but what democrats could
freely accept, and that to repudi-
ate it would be an act of cowardice
and folly, productive Of no good,
for the democrats who stayed
away, and who want to come back,
will return anyway. If aquestion
which these would-be prodigal sons
say is dead is sufficient to keen
them away, let them stay outside
the fold. +ss2es.ss.. ;

BULLDOGS IND CATE.
viduni Ant'pathies Yet n1ve
Together in leace.

Mi!ady is very fond of her two
French bulldogs and her big Maltese
cat, named Paddy. But the bulldogs
are not fond of the cat, and vice
versa. Still, they live in comparative
peace, though Paddy's back humps
and her tail grows as large as mi
lady's fur boa when he sees those
French bulldogs, says the st. Louis
Republic.
Paddy has no high pedigree, but he
is perhaps - high in the favor of
milady as the two CANNES, due in .
measure to the old love which milady
bore to Paddy's grandmother, who
loved to romp and play when xhe wea
Q kitten.
Paddy and the French bulldogs have
peculiarities, and that IL the reason
this story is written.
Paddy does not .encroach upon the
territory of the bulldogs, and the lat
ter do not invade Paddy's bailiwick,
but there is neutral ground. The
neutral ground il the first floor of
milady's home. Paddy rules the
basement an1 the ,subcellar; the dogs
have the bedrooms. They sleep on
the beds and sofas and chairs in the
daytime, much to the disgust of the
chambermafd. ~--'~-

milady sits down at the piano and

The lively melodies ret the tails Of
the French bulldogs in whirl. The
tails spin numerous circles as the

ecstacy.
But with Paddy it il = different tale.
