Il DO not Know of anything so appalling

like myself as to have the Senator from
Iowa draw out his long, red tongue from

The Senator from Iowa is very amusing
when he tries to be- and is often very
amusing when he does not try TO be. His
effort this evening was exceedingly anus

his gesticulations were at least riGicu-

A Producer of Merriment.

not raise laugh by saying something
which is funny, can always produce more
or less merriment by doing something
which is ridiculous. Laughter.

POPULAR Vote FOR
SENATORS HUNG UP
Committee Refuses to Act
Favorabiy or Adversely.
Resolution in Senate to Relieve Commit
tee of Furthe, Consideration-Ques-
tion May Be Brought Up Today.

The Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections refused yesterday to report to
the Senate the resolution providing for
the election of Senators by popular vote
either favorably or adversely
Two motions were made the first being
that the resolution as amended by Mr..
Depcw's amendment giving Federal super
vision over the elections should be re-
ported favorably. This was lost by a
vote of seven nays to three yeas. Messrs.
Depew, Foraker and Burrows voted for
this motion. and the Democrats. with
Mcssrs. Hoar. Dillingham; and McComas.
against 1t.
No Conclusion Reached.
The next motion was to report the reso-
luton and amendment adversely. This
also was lost by vote of five nays to
four yeas. and the committee adjourned
without reaching conclusion
Mr. Berry introduced in the Senate a
resolution asking that the Committee on
Privileges and Elections be discharged
from further consideration of the reso-
luton.
Consideration Objected To.
Mr.. Burrows. chairman of the conf
mittee. objected to the consideration Of
the resolution at this time, and it went
over one day. under the rules.
There is the chance that the matter
may be taken up today and that it may
lead to some very free expressions of
opinion on both sides CT the question. 1t
is said that the Democrats are angry over
the failure of the committee to make
report.

the character of its population. the rights
and qualifications of the Territory for

Referring to General Grosevenor, he
said. amid laughter. that he tGrosvenor)
preserved his consistency In discussing
matters before the House and being al
ways in the wrong. and maintained an even
temper by being always mad.
Leaders Trying for Defeat.
Delegate Flynn, of Oklahoma, in urging
the passage of the bill. created sensa-
tion by declaring that the House leaders
were against the bill. and were trying to
secure its defeat. He called attention to
the fact that the Republican platforms had
promised this admission to statehood. that
lit was in the platform on which McKin-
ley was elected. and will be in the plat
form on which Theodore Roosevelt will be
renoElinated." There was no applause.
Mr.. Parker tRep.. n. j. said that to
give statehood rights to Arizona would be
like giving any Congressional district of
this country the right to send two Sena-
tors to the Senate.
five-minute rule Mr.. McRae Dem, Ark)
offered his amendment to combine Indian
Territory and Oklahoma and admit them
as one State. Mr.. McRaes amendment.
when voted upon was defeated. 81 to 103.
Representative Hooker Dem, Miss.)
then offered an amendment to strike out
the provision in the bill which is intended
to enable Oklahoma to attach all or any
part of Indian Territory at any time when
the State is organized. and when the
title to the lands is extinguished in the
tribes now claiming them. The amend
ment was lost-22 to 100.
After further reading CT the bill Rep
resentative Overstreet OK,p.. Ind-) offered
an amendment to combine New Mexico
and Arizona under the name of Monte
yuma and admit both as one State. With
out action upon this amendment the
House adjourned.
1t is understood that large number Of
Republicans will support this amendment.
but ii is not likely that 1t VIII be adopted
as it will be vigorously opposed by the
Democrats. who hope to secure two Demo-
cratic Senator's from Arizona. Their
chances would be greatly diminished if
the Territories were combined.
Many Democrats would. however. have
supported the amendment IL Indian Ter
ritory had been included in Oklahoma, as
by this arrangement it is thought that
Indian Territory. which is presumed to be
strongly Democratic, would make Okla
homa a Democratic State.

Two FORMER SOLDIERS HEARD
Ex-Sergeant Dube Tells of Imprison-
ment of Woman With Male Prisoners
Water Cure Administered to Fill
pinos Suspected of 0'Hearn Murder.

Further testimony on the subject of the
water cure" torture administered to
Filipinos was taken yesterday by the Sem
ate Philippine Committee.
The first witness examined was Isadore
B. Dube. of Watertown. Mass, who had
served in the archipelago sergeant of
Company A, Twenty y-sixth U. S. Volunteer
Infantry. and afterward for four months
on the constabulary force In Manila as
a private.
He testified also to the Imprisonment Of
a native woman in the same room with
fourteen CT fifteen male Filipinos for three
weeks This, he said. was by the order Of
Major Glenn
Confessed Under Torture.
The next witness was January Manning.
of Boston, Mass. He had served in the
Twentieth and In the Twcnty-sixth United
States Infantry in Panay in the Philippine
Islands as sergeant. He described the ad
ministering Of the water cure to fourteen
or fifteen Filipinos who had been cap
tured after the murder of Sergeant
O'Hearn.
Question-For what purpose was the
water cure administered?
Answer-We did not have any direct
proof that they were the murderers. We
only supposed that they were. One of
them admitted that he had helped in the
murder and implicated ten or eleven
others. There were three brothers to
whom TIE water cure was administered
one day and it was repeated two or three
days afterward. and then they admitted
participation in the murder.
Senator Dietrich-Was there ever any
doubt in your mind but that these men did
really murder and burn O'Hearn?
Witness-No, sir.
Senator Culberson-Why were they not
executed?
Eine Killed While Escaping.
The witness-Nine of them were shot in
trying to escape and two did escape.
Senator Culberson-Describe how the
water cure was administered. Take a sin
gle case.
witness-The man was laid down en- his
back and was kept down by two men.
stick or something else was put in his
mouth. and water was poured in.
Question-Whom did you have there to
talk to them?
Answer-A native interpreter.
Senator Culberson-was there any con-
cealment of the fact in army circles that
whenever testimony was desired which
could not be got otherwise the water cure
would be administered?
The witness-I never saw any orders to
that effect.
Senator Culberson-Was that not the
general understanding in army circles?
The witness-I have heard about the
water cure being administered.
During the meeting Mr.. Patterson pre-
sented a request that Senorita Clemencia
Lopez. a daughter OF Sizto Lopez, be
called as witness. She is in Boston.
The question went over until today. when
an executive session of the committee
will be held to consider 1t.
