IN CONGRESS-
Philippine Tariff Bill Principal.
Subject for Consideration
in the Senate.
DEMOCRATS FOR LONG DEBATE
Entire SIX DAYS May BE Taken Up in
the Fight Over the Measure Chinese
Exclusion Bill VIII Have an Easy
Time In the House.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The Philip
pine question will continue to hold
foremost place on the senate calendar
during the present week, but there is
little probability that the Philippine
bill will be disposed Of Democratic
senators say they will require several
weeks more time in which to consid-
er the measure. Senator Lodge, chair
man Of the committee having the bill
in charge, has not failed to impress
upon them his intention of pressing it
with the utmost dispatch. Several
Democratic senators will speak on the
bill.
Senator Quarles will report the per-
manent census bill this afternoon He
hopes the bill may be passed without
much delay The irrigation bill also
occupies place of vantage on the SEN
ate calendar.
Owing to the absence of many Re-
publicans who will attend celebrations
of Lincoln's birthday Wednesday con-
sideration of the bill to repeal the war
taxes will be postponed by the house
until next week. Tuesday considera-
ton Of the oleomargarine bill will be
resumed. The passage of the bill is
considered to be assured. \

Of the senate today the Philippine
tariff bill was under consideration.
Turner, of Washington concluded his
speech begun last Friday on the legal
and constitutional phases of the Philip
pine question. He held, in the main,
that as the Filipinos had established
an independent government in the
islands prior to the fall of Manila,
the United States, under the prin-
ciples of international law, had no
right in the islands. He denounced
the Philippine commission as puppets
of the executive. and declared their
so-called laws are not enacted in the
interest of the people of the islands.
The commission. said he, does only
what they are told to do by the presi-
dent and secretary of war Turner
referred to the Philippine sedition act
as not only unconstitutional, but as a
relic of barbarism, too black even for
the most despotic and tyrannical gov
ernment that now exists on the face of
the earth.'' The house amendment to
the urgent deficiency BILL relating to
the opening of state claims, was
agreed to, which passed the bill.

London, Feb. 11.-From Wolvehoek
Lord Kitchener telegraphed long de-
scription of the combined movements
of the numerous British columns with
the object of securing General DeWet.
Tie advance started on the night of
February and on che 9th General
DeWet was within the lines, but, real
izing his position, ordered his men to
dlsperse and seek safety during the
night. General De Wet himself, with
made for Kroonstad TO the Lindley
blockhouse line, and at l o'clock in the
morning, when it was very dark, by
rushing his cattle at a fence, broke
his way through the line. mixed up
with the cattle and losing three men
killed. Many attempts were made to
break through the line on the night
OF February Z, reports Lord Kitchener,
the line outposts being attacked at
various places through the night But
very few escaped, and ten dead Beers
were picked up in the morning near
Heilbron. Il did not get the exact
details of the Boer casualties" con-
tinues Lord Kitchener, "but as far as
| have ascertained they consist of 2S3
killed, wounded and prisoners, as well
as about 700 tired horses and many
cattle. Our casualties were only ten"
Lord Kitchener's great plan, which
he has been celebrating for months
past, failed by the escape of DeWet,
but was successful in the greatest
single capture of Beers since Lord
Kitchener arrived in South Africa.
Altogether twenty three columns

of block houses and the railroads be-

1t is thought that De Vets force
amounted roughly speaking to 1000
men. Kitchener personally superin-
tended the final preparations for the
expedition, and the great move was
made over a frontier Of forty miles,
the advance extending sixty miles,
with the object of driving the Beers
against the railroad line, while
armored trains were patrolling and

Beers to prevent their crossing the

/ Washington, Feb Admiral
Walker co celuded his testimony before
the senate committee on interoceanic
canals
The examination was with reference
sion changed its recommendations
from the nicaragua to the Panama
route. The reasons given by the wit
ness for this change, summed up are
that the Panama. route is much short
er and that it has fewer curves and
that those curves which do exist are
not so sharp as the curves in the Mic
aragua route. He also said he believed
that with proper quarantine regula-
tions the health conditions of the re,
gfon along the Panama line could be
much improved. He did not consider
the present condition from health
point OF view as bad. The questions
bringing out these points were largely
asked by Senator Hanna, who also
made Inquiries concerning the water
supply for the Panama canal and the
difficulties in the way of constructing
"a dam at Bohio. With reference to
the dam Admiral Walker said he had
no doubt that the engineering difficult
les could be overcome, and he also
expressed the opinion that the water
supply would be ample. He also said
that the harbor at Panama could be
maintained at nominal cost
Senator Morgan questioned the wit
ness at length with reference to the
commissions investigation of the
power of the new Panama canal com
pany to transfer the property and give
clear title. In reply to all the ques-
tions on this line Admiral Walker
sal he had been satisfied in general
way that the New Panama canal com
pany would be capable of passing the
property to the United States with
acceptable title, but that he was not
lawyer and that he felt satisfied, in
case the recommendation of the com
mission to accept the Panama route
should be favoraply acted upon by
congress, the president would be as
sured by competent legal advice of the
genuineness of the title before accept
ing the transfer. I'VE only recon-
mended the Panama route as practic-
able and feasible" he said, ''by which
we meant that we considered the
engineering proposition as practicable
and the diplomatic negotiations as
feasible"

Minority Report on the Anti-Anarchist

Washington, Feb. 10-Representa-
tive Lanham of Texas, democratic
member of the house Judiciary COM
mittee, has presented a minority re-
port on the bill for the protection of
of the president against assault and
conspiracy. While agreeing with the
idea that the United States should not
be made an asylum for anarchists and
those who oppose organized govern
ment, yet he dissented from giving
the president protection not accorded
to other citizens. As to this he said:
II deny the proposition that one
honest and law abiding mans life is
Any officer of our government is but
the servant of the people and the
servant cannot be greater than his
lord The holding or possession of
office does not of itself render any
man incapable or immune from human
frailtfes and imperfections. Public
men among us can do wrong. There is
no such thing as royalty or titled
nobility or hereditary prerogative in
the United States. With us there are
no artificial distinctions and one good
man is as much as another, and as

as 1t does that of another. The murder
OF the humblest citizen in our land is
just as henious, just as felonious, as
that of the greatest or most disting-
uished. Murder is murder upon whom
soever inflicted and human life is
human life by whomsoever enjoyed.
The life Of the highest officer in the
country or that of any ambassador of
a foreign government is no more preci-
GUS in the sight Of God than is that Of
the humblest and most Insignificant
resident of our great republic"
He pointed out that both Guiteau
and Czolgosz, presidential assassins,
nave met death. He holds also that
the states should deal with the sub
ject and that this federal law prob.
ably would magnify the Importance of
assassination in me distempered fancy
