Washington, Jan. 14.-For the first
time this season the Philippine ques-
ton was touched on in the senate.
The interest taken indicates that it
will occupy the attention of the upper
branch of congress for some time
when the tariff bill is reported.
The Philippines were the subject
of an address by Mr.. Hoar OF
Massachusetts, who spoke on his res
olution providing for the appointment
OF a senate committee to investigate
the administration of these islands.
lie spoke at some length regarding
the unreliability of the statements
winch had been made from time to
time, and regarding the situation In
the Philippines and the causes which
led to the outbreak Senator Lodge,
Hoar's colleague, said he regarded the
resolution as reflection on the
Philippine commission, of which he
was chairman, and the necessity for
the latter would cease were this res
olution adopted. His COMMITTEES. he
said, was perfectly able to handle any
investigation which might be con
Quoted. Senator Carmack (demD
agreed with him. The discussion was
leading rapidly to the opening up Of
the whole Philippine question when
it was agreed that the resolution should
go over. Senator Mason CllD made
a speech in favor of reciprocity with
| Cuba.
! Washington, Jan. 14.-The house

appropriation bill, and devoted much
