Washington, May S.-Discussion of the Philippine bill in the Senate today While it scarcely abated in bitterness, took on an amusing phase. In a breezy speech Mir, Deliver of Iowa made such a good natured, and yet such a sarcastic ar raignment of MT Carmack of Tennessee, that Senators and occupants of the crowd ed galleries were convulsed with laugh ter. While seemingly considerable tenn per was aroused by the debate, good feel ing was shown by the active participants in the war of words, MT. Dolli- yer and MT. Carmack, who cordially shook hands and laughed over the en- counter after their tilt.
 MT. Burton of Kansas concluded the speech which he began yesterday. He re- ferred as instances of atrocious cruelty to the battle of Wounded Knee, to the Mountain Meadow massacre and to the massacre of the American troops in the Philippines, which in most instances was entirely within the regulations Of civil ized warfare.
 Tn resnonse to some statements made yesterday by MT. Tillman, MT. Vest of Missouri delivered forceful and effec- tive speech and made an historical contri- button with reference to the Hampton Roads conference between President Lin coin and Confederate leaders.
 MT. Carmack delivered a scathing de- nunciation of the conduct of military op- erations in the Philippines and denounced General Smith, branding him as 'scoun- dreI and murderer" who had dishonored +he American army and had done noth- ing but butcher whole people.
 Tn A sarcastic response, MT. Deliver Of Iowa scorchingly arraigned MT. Car mack. incidentally reading an editorial from the Memphis Commercial-Appea criticizing the Tennesse Senators attitude on the Philippine question. MT. CarmacKs reply was of such a nature as to cause him to be called to order for statement refiecting upon MT. Deliver but the incident ended in good feeling.
 BURTON EuLoGIZES FUNSTON.
 At the conclusion of routine business consideration of the Philippine govern ment bill was resumed. MT. Burton, Kan sas continued his speech begun yester- dav elaborating his eulogy of General Funston.
 He intimated that .t was because he had captured Aguinaldo and had assist cd materially in putting down the insur- rection in the Philippines that the Dem ocratic minority so vigorously criticised Funston.
 Discussing the war In the Philippines MT Burton declared that no more cruel tv was exercised in the war in the Phil innines than was absolutely necessary. isolated instances of barbarity are incl dents of every war He referred to the rnessacre of colored troops at Fort Pil- low which he said was an act of few ,nfuriated men under the command of General Forrest. In that massacre the blood of Union soldiers was shed, not that of ( onfederates.
 IJo also referred to the Mountain Meodow massacre, a massacre which for bideous atrocity and fiendish deviltry nbad not been equalled or this conti- nert He did not charge, he said, the Confederates with the Fort Pillow infamy ar the Mormons with the Mountain Meadow massacre. but We must not charge the United States army with iso- lated instances or atroclty anu croeity in the Philippines.
 MT Perkins, California, interrupted to ,ffer a resolution declaring that the Sen- ate had heard with profound grief or the dsotn ,f aear Admiral William T. Samp- son. and providing for the appointment If committee O1 nVe senators to JoiH ,ila committee of the House to attend the funeral as a mark of respect to the Naod officer The resolution was adopted onG Massrs.
