had the Philippine tariff bin Under dis
cussion. The measure was completed so
far as the Philippine committee IS con-
cerned. all of the committee amendments
being dopted Toward the close of The
session the discussion became heated. In
response to a resolution offered several
days ago by Mr.. Rawlins Of Utah, he
Secretary of War transmitted to the Sen
ate the sediti0n laws enacted by the Phil

full. and Immediately drew the fire of
the opponents Of the governments Phil
ippine policy Mr.. Foraker of Ohio had
read from the revised statutes of the
United States the laws of Congress re-
lating to the crime Of treason and similar
offenses against the government. and SAID
that the acts passed by the Philippine
commission were almost identical in their
language with the laws enacted by Con-
gress in the days of the fathers of the
republic and that there was nothing I'M
precedented or unusual about them. The
Ohio Senator was interrupted continually
ana had several warm colloquies with
Senators who were opposing him. In
conclusion of the debate Mr.. Hoar poured
oil on the troubled waters of the Senate,
maintaining that men might well differ
on any of the great questions now before
the country, but that all were thoroughly
loyal to the country and were doing thar
duty as they saw it, Early in tae day

1t was agreed in the House on Wed
nesday that the oleomargarine bill should
come to a vote after two days more of
debate. Representative Boutell of Chi
cago delivered the speech that attracted
most attention in Wednesdays debate.
He based his opposition to the bill on
alleged discrimination, There is no ex-
cuse, in his Judgment for discriminating
between different brands of the same pro-
duet. 1t is conceded on all sides that
there is no fraud in the manufacture of
oleo, Mr.. Boutell explained. The only
fraud charged is in its retail. when in
some instances dishonest dealers sell 1t
for butter. The pending bill, he assert
ed, would not prevent these frauds. Rep
resentatiye Crowley of Illinois furnished
the House considerable amusement in dis
cussing the bill. He announced emphat-
ically that he would not permit himself
to be read out of the Democratic party
because he supports the bill, and made
an earnest appeal for the wife of the
poor farmer churning butter. who, he in
sisted should be protected against the
product of the oleo manufacturers. Other
speakers were Messrs. Kluttz On. c..
McCreary (Minn.) and Eddy (Minn.) for,
and Messrs. Allen QKy), Scott QHan)
and Moon (Tenn) against the bill.
Throughout the days session the Senate
had under consideration the urgent de-
ficiency appropriation bill, and just be-
fore adjournment passed it substantially
in the shape in which it was reported to
the Senate by the committee. During
the early part of the session the case of
Judge Arthur FL. Noyes of the District
Court of Alaska and Alexander McKen-
zie and others was discussed.

Debate commenced Monday upon the
bill reported by the majority of the com
mittee on agriculture to impose tax Of
10 cents a pound upon oleomargarine.
colored in imitation Of butter. and provid-
ing other regulations. The opposition to
the bill is based broadly upon the grounds
that it is intended to injure legitimate
industry. aud prohibits manufacturers
from presenting goods to the trade in the
form which is demanded by the consum-
ers. Another spirited debate, with the
Philippine tariff bin as the text, was pre-
cipitated in the Senate as the result Of
some statements made by Mr. Carmack
Dem, TENN in the course of an extend
ed speech on the general Philippine ques-
ton. At the conclusion of his address
Mr.. Beyeridge Qnd.) challenged some of
his statements. The debate which en-
sued was very lively for a few minutes,
taking on a political phase which proved
particularly interesting to the auditors,
who crowded the floor as well as the gal-
leries. Mr.. Beverage and Mr.. Tillman
Is. c. became involved in a heated col
loquy, in which the exchanges Were as
hot as both Senators well could make

ing for increase of the salaries of Sena-
tors and Representatives to $500 year

Debate on the oieomargarine bill coz
tinued Tues lay in the House. The oppo-
neuts of the bill are making a strong fight
so far as the presentation Of argument is
concerned. The speakers on Tuesday
were Messrs. Tompkins On. W, Robb
(Mol, Knapp On. ", Bates Pa,), Da-
wilson wis.,. Driscoll On. ", and Hep
burn Qowa) in favor and Messrs. Cow
herd MOI: Lanham (Texasl. Grosvenor
(Ohio) and Kleberg (Texas) against the
bill. After brief discussion the Senate
passed the bill providing for % per cent
increase in the salaries of United States
judges. All amendments were voted
down, including one to increas the sal
aries of cabinet officers from $4,000 to
So, 800 year. During the remainder
of the days session the urgent deficiency
appropriation bin was under considera-
ton, the Philippine tariff measure being
laid aside temporarily. Mr.. Hansborough
IN. d. made a spirited defense of Judge
Arthur H. Noyes of the District Court of
Alaska. and Alexander Mckenzie. upon
whom an attack was made in the Senate
on Monday.

Lexington, KY, Jan. 1S.-Col. Jack
Chinn of Harrodsburg, the noted Ken
lucky knife and gun fighter, was in Lex
ington today on his return from Frank
fort, where he watched the race for the
Democratic senatorial nomination. In
characteristic language he called Sen
ator W. ]. Deboe of Kentucky many
different kinds of a liar for saying IN
the United States senate yesterday
during a sharp set-to with Senator
Blackburn that he-had seen Jack Chinn
draw a bowie knife during the famous
<-natorial campaign at Frankfort In
1896, when Deboe was elected Colonel
Chinn said:
''Deboe wouldn't know a bowie knife
if he saw one and if somebody told him
what it was he would drop dead from
fright. The trouble with Deboe is that
he wears a 51k hat and No. IL shoe.
If you would cut off that thick head OF
his he would go up like a toy balloon
The best thing that could happen to
Kentucky would be to get rid OF all
that breed"
