Washington, May 16-An effort was

Washington, May 13.-An additional
the senate for the stricken people Of
the French West Indies, in accordanc
with the recommendation of the
president that 100000 be appro-
priated. The agricultural appropria-
ton bill was passed. Senator Stewart
of Nevada, supporting the Philippine
bill, warned the minority that no poll
teal gain would accrue to them from
their attack on the army. While dis
cussing the proposed coinage of
silver dollar for the Philippines, Sena-
tor Stewart declared the silver ques-
ton in this country was dead, at least
for the present on account of the
large output Of gold.
The naval appropriation bill, which
provides for two new battleships, two
armored cruisers and two gunboats,
and carries $7,650OOO, was taken up
in the house Mr. Foss of Illinois,
chairman of the committee, sounded
a note of warning against the over
confident belief that our navy is in
vincible. He declared that our
victories at Manila and Santiago
were due to the fact that we were
contending with an effete and de-
caying nation and that our strength
far out-matched Spain in those con-
tests. Mr.. Rixey Of Pennsylvania also
spoke for the bill and most of the
time was given to argument for the
government construction of warships.
The conference report of the omnibus
claims bill was rejected On the
ground that claims not considered by
either branch of congress had been
inserted in the measure by the con
ferences and it was returned to con-
ference.

Washington, May 15.-An extended
speech by Senator McLaurin of Mis-
sissippi in opposition to the Philip
pine government bill was the feature
in the senate. The Mississippi man
deprecated the Outrages perpetrated
in the islands, whether they were
committed by the Filipinos or by
Americans. They were, in his judg-
ment, the natural outgrowth of the
governments policy, for which, ne
maintained, the republican party was
responsible. The bill providing for
the erection of a union railway station
in Washington and the fortification
appropriation bill were passed.
The naval bill was the order of the
day in the house but received scant
attention after allegations of Philip
pine outrages were presented in a
speech by Mr.. Vandiver of Missouri
Personalities and recriminations were
freely passed about. Mr.. Vandiver
was supported in his criticisms by
Mr.. Wheeler of Kentucky, while 4
vehement defense of the American
soldiers was made by Messrs. Hep
burn Of Iowa, Grow of Pennsylvania,
Hill of Connecticut, w. A. Smith OF
Michigan and LESSER of New York.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Hill detailed the visit he paid to Gen
eral Smiths headquarters in the
Philippines and added: Il found Gen
eral Smith in peace and quietness and
yet while that condition existed this
actually occurred: A company of
Tagalogs of the Filipino army if you
choose to call it such, descended on
a village of peaceable Fflipinos who
chose to carry on their regular bust
ness pursuits in peace and quietness,
and destroyed the village, numbering
the men, women ana children. They
took the men out and tieQ them to
anti hills, six Or eight or ten feet
high and six feet in diameter filed
with ants that are absolutely raw
enous and eat up everything they
come in contact with. They tied
these men to ant-hills and allowed
them to be eaten to death by ants.
They buried them in the ground up
to their necks and allowed them to
be pecked to death by birds and
eaten by ants. They took loyal

AN EVERLASTING NUISANCE

Again the ghost walks 1t has aSSum-
ed slightly different form from times
past, perhaps. but it can be recognized
without consulting the Bertillon charts.
Same old ghost that has haunted the
city council for years. and will proba-
bly, continue to haunt until time shall
be no more. 1t is commonly known as
the city dump problem.
Many times the question of how to do
the scavenger work of the city has been
settled But it does not stay set
tied. 1t pokes I'D it's murky head at
regular intervals of about six months.
and never goes very far below the sur
face. The trouble seems to be that the
problem is such disagreeable one that
councilmen dislike to grapple with it
and settle it once for all.
Why not take up this work now, and
apply a remedy for all time? The only
reason why it should not be done now is
because the city is short of finances. 1t
is certainly possible to construct a
crematory which will dispose of the
garbage, and do it at actual cash profit
to the city. But that would involve the
expenditure of considerable money for
a proper plant. 1t is difficult thing to
dispose of the offal of large city, and
Topeka is one of hundreds of cities
which are struggling with the problem.
At the present time, the situation is
simply this: Topeka has a scavenger
ordinance, which was drawn for the
purpose of protecting and fostering
an infant ndustry"-namely, a desic-
eating plant. This desiccating plant
proposed to convert dead animals and
offal into sanitary fertilizer and other
marketa BILE products. 1t tried to do this
and has failed dismally. Tt can not do
what the ordinance requires it to do.
1t violates the ordinance every day.
The men who own the plant are not
necessarily wicked They simply were
mistaken when they went into the en-
terprise. Having failed, they will have
to stand aside.
Now the question is what Topeka will
do next. One man proposes to haul
garbage five miles from the city and
dump it into the river. This will be on
the same theory that one city ships
hoboes and invalids to the adjoining
town-it shifts the responsibility. There
are also signs of life at the old crema-
tory plant, which was abandoned by
command of the city because it was a
nuisance These are the only alterna
tives so far offered.
One thing is certain. The ordinance
protecting the monopoly of the desiccat-
ing works should be. repealed. It Will
be no worse than it is now to open the
tars and allow offal to be dumped into
the river. and it will probably do good.
Competition is always a good thing for
the mass of the people. By authorizing
the existence of dump the city makes
it unnecessary for the dumping to be
it is now.
