SENATORIAL MALIGNANcE.
Efforts of Senator Teller to Cast
Odium ON Gen. FunstOn's Bril-
liant Exploit.

The country has been furnished an
other remarkable illustration of the
contemplate attitude of anti-expan-
sionists in the senate towards our sol
diers in the Philippines. A few days
ago the senate went into executive
session to consider the treaty agreed
upon by The Hague peace conference
relative to the conduct of war on land
or sea. The provisions Of the treaty
relate to the use Of expansive bullets,
poisoned arms, the treatment OF
wounded, the treatment of flags of
truce, etc. One provision is that "ruses
of war and the employment of meth
DDS necessary to obtain information
about the enemy and the country are
allowable" A spy was defined as fol.
lows: "An individual can only be con-
sidered spy if acting clandestinely,
or on false pretenses he obtains, or
seeks to obtain, information in the
zone Of operations of belligerent.
with the intent of communicating IL
to the hostile party" The treaty has
been agreed to and signed by "a gov
ernments. When 1t came up in the SEN
ate Senator Teller desired to know IL
the American conduct Of the war in
the Philippines could be justified under
this treaty, and especially whether, il
it had been in force at the time, the
method Of Aguinaldo's capture could
have been justified. He quoted the
provision relating to spies, and said he
would like to be informed il under
it the course pursued by Gen. Funston
in the capture Of Aguinaldo would be
justifiable. AS the treaty relates only
to the conduct of future wars, any in
quiry as to what had happened in the
Philippines was impertinent, says the
Indianapolis Journal. The only OBJ
ject Of the inquiry was to cast odium
on the American troops and incident
ally to hold up Aguinaldo as a martyr.
The American people are familiar with
Gen. Funston's brilliant exploit, and
the whole civilized world has justified
1t as fair act Of war and as one of
the most skillfully planned and daring
ly executed military enterprises ,on
record. Gen. Funstpn's scheme was
not that of spy, but was "a ruse of
war;" which the treaty distinctly says
is allowable. He was not seeking to
obtain information in an enemy's lines
with the intention of communicating
It to the hostile. party. He was after
the chief of the insurgents, and by TAX
ing his life in his hand and by the exer-
else of wonderful skill and daring he
got him. That Senator. Teller should
go out Of his way to drag in a closed
incident for the purpose, AZ he hoped,
Of casting odium on Gen. Funston
shows the malignant animus Of those
who are trying to make political Il,
sue out Of the Philippine question.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Noy. 12.-vice
Governor Luke z. Wright,eof the Philip
pines, speaking OF financial affairs In the
islands, said In am interview that the
money market is continually fiuctuating.
"A bill to afford the necessary relief
was presented to congreTs but not pass
ed" said he. 81 think that for the benefit
of commerce the matter shonid again be
taken UP at the next session of congress.
1t has been suggested that a Filipino dol
lar of silver should be introduced in the
islands This dollar should. be worth actu-
ally 30 cents of our gold money. 1 think
such a coin would remedy the present
financial situation Such a monetary sys-
tenn would be similar to the one now in
use in Japan"
''It has been suggested that a limited
number of Chinese--say 100,O0O--be allowed
to land in the Philippines. DO you think
their presence would relieve tie present
labor shortage?" was asked.
'I would not like to see the doors thrown
open to the Chinese he replied. "Skilled
labor-yes II limited, would certainly
prove beneficial. Some of the Chinese are
clever and they would be able to teach the
Filipinos many Of the industries"
Governor Wright, accompanied by his
wife, expects to leave for the east Thurs
