HOUSE OPENS DEBATE
Philippine Government Bill Taken Up
Yeste rdaX.

Washington, June 19.-The opening day
OF the weeks debate on the Philippines
government bill was signalized by a r.
n.arkably strong and exhaustive speech
by Mr.. Cooper Cwis.), chairman OF the
committee on insular affairs. He spoke
for almost three hours and was given
close attention by both sides of the house.
Much of the speech was a general de-
fense of the policy pursued by the ad-
ministration and drew repeated applause
from his side of the house. He contended
that the problem of the Philippines should
be party question, that both political
parties brought on the war with Spain
and the votes of members of both parties
ratified the treaty which made the islands
American territory. The most telling por
ton, of his speech was the parallel he
drew between the present attitude Of the
opposition and the attitude of the Oppo-
sition during and Immediately succeed
ing the Civil war.
Mr.. Jones (Va.). the ranking member of
able presentation Of the Democratic pO-
sition, but he yielded the floor after speak
irg about an hour, and will resume to-
morrow morning. Those were the only
81 Teeches made today The order under
which the house is operating provides for
right sessions until Wednesday for de-
bate. but as no one was prepared to SPEAK
tonight the order for the session this even
ing was vacated.

TROUBLED ABOUT OIL
Oklahoma Is Worried over Actions
of SmaII (ompanies Vow.

Guthrie. Q. T., June 19.-The attention
Of the territorial coal oil inspector is
now being devoted to the smaller oil
companies in states adjacent TO the ter
ritory which have been shipping oil into
Oklahoma in small quantities and avoid
ing inspection by regular inspectors
This work has been carried on month af-
ter month. Oil has been shipped into
the territory by the barrel and has never
been inspected because the inspectors
could not learn Of the fact until after
the oil was consumed or delivered TO
the dealers. Some plan win be devised
by the inspectors office whereby these
companies cannot avoid having their oil
inspected. The larger companies doing
business in the territory are gradually
conforming to the requirements of the
inspectors and it is believed that in
short time the required standard viii be
reached by the companies. Agents Of
the companies have notified them that
their oils have been rejected by the in
spectors and in a number Of cases these
companies have stated that they viii do
all in their power to conform with the
laws of the territory.
In the event that they do not the in
spector viii undoubtedly bring action
against them 70 compel them TO ship oil
into Oklahoma which viii bear inspec-
ton II is believed that under the pres
ent law rigid inspection can be enforced
and if it should prove that the law is
defective some radical suggestions will
be made to the next territorial iegisla-
ture for changes.

MORE CATTLE THAN HOGS

Guthrie. O. T, June 1s.-Auditor L. w
Baxter has received returns from eigh-
teen of the twenty-six counties in the
territory showing the valuation for tax
alton. The valuation this year shows
large increase over last year and it is
believed that the total VIII be in the
neighboralood Of s75.OOO.OOO. The returns
from the new counties are in and show up
wen, considering the time they have been
open for settlement With eight counties
yet to report. there is an increase of
S, $50. SIS, including the new counties.
The returns show some interesting
facts. In some parts of the territory
where hogs were more plentiful last year
than cattle. the reverse is true this year
This is accounted for owing to the fact
that the price of hogs scared high,
while feed for cattle was hard to obtain
and many cattlemen retained their herds
10 fatten them on grass this summer.
Men who owned hogs shipped them to
market, realizing large sums from their
possessions.

New York, June 19.-AH but three of
the silk mills in Hudson county, n. j.,
have closed down. About ten thousand
hands are in consequence out Of employ

hours the number will likely reach 1900.
The immediate cause of the shutting

painful bruise on the leg. from which
he complained a great deal and stopped
playing. The boys then concluded TO
go TO the river bathing. but young Pc
core did not want to go. His compan-
ions finally persuaded him TO go, tell
ing him it would relieve the pain in his
leg.
When at the river the boys dipped him
under the water until he was almost
out Of breath and could hardly walk
before they would let him out When
he went home he complained greatly Of
being sick and ate no supper. Monday
he was still complaining, but would not
tell who the boys were. only that the
Dugan boy hurt his leg Thursday he
became unconscious and never rallied.
The physician who attended him claims
that his death was due TO the wounds
he received in the scuffie and the poi-
soned condition of the water. His back
and limbs show evidence Of being Sc
verely bruised and it would appear that
he was roughly handled by the little
rascaIs with whom he was playing.
He was Il years Of age and always
had the reputation CT being quiet, Deac-
able. good natured boy among his COM
panions, hence IL is hard TO realize why
he was attacked.
Coroner Tackett drove 10 the dead
boys home to investigate the matter,
but he decided that an inquest was not
necessary. as the lad had died under
physicians care. He is taking steps to
discover the identity Of all the bays con-
cerned and a warrant is already out
for one of them. The coroner proposes
to probe this matter 70 the bottom and
see that the offenders all suffer.
