Washington, May 6-For four hours
a fierce discussion of the Philippine
situation ragged in the senate 1t was
started by Senator Beveridge Of
Indiana, who made sharp structures on
the opposition because, as he said.
they persisted in telling in their
speeches only one side of the story
While he admitted that some out
RACES had been committed by Ameri-
can soldiers in the Philippines it was
true, too, that unparalleled kindness
had been shown by American troops
to Filipino prisoners and wounded.
Food and medicine, he said, had been
shared with them, and they had been
succored on the battlefield and cared
for tenderly in hospitals. Senator
Carmack and Rawlins warmly re-
scented the imputation of unfairness.
Senator Rawlins declared that no
partisan motives had actuated the OPP
pOnents of the present Philippine
policy, but they were moved only by
patriotism and love of country.
Senator Turner of Washington de-
livered a scathing criticism on the
methods practiced by the military au-
thorities in the Philippines. The
house joint resolution making an
additional appropriation of $4,000 for
the dedication of the statue of
Marshal de Rochambeau to be I'M
yelled in the city of Washington was
passed.
The house adjourned Immediately
after the reading of the journal out
of respect to the memory of Represen-
tative j. S. Salmon of New Jersey.
This is the third consecutive legisla-
tive day on which the house has paid
similar tribute of respect to one of
it's deceased members. never before
in it's history have three desks been
draped at the same time. 1t was a
coincidence remarked upon by mem
bers with the deaths of Messrs. Cum
mings Otey and Salmon that Mr.. Cum
mings was appointed on the com
mittee to attend the funeral of Mr.
Cummings and Mr.. Salmon was des-
ignateo to attend the funeral Of Mr.
Otey.

Washington, May 3.-The discus
sion OF the Philippine question be-
came heated in the senate. Thus far
the minority has practically had
clear field in the debate, the policy of
the majority being to permit the crit
icism Of the democratic members of
the body to proceed without Interrupt
ton. Today it was different. Sen
ators SpoOner of Wisconsin, Lodge of
Massachusetts and Foraker of Ohio
became aroused. They spoke in de-
Tense of the administration, the army
and Governor Taft and they spoke hot
ly, almost unrestrainedly. The result
was one of the most spirited debates
that has yet occurred on the Philip
pine question. While the debate took
a wide range it revolved around the
resolution calling for Major Cornelius
Gardener, in thePhilippine islands, to
appear as soon as possible before the
Philippine committee as a witness. A
cablegram from General Chaffee was
read by Lodge, saying it was imprac-
ticable- for Gardner to leave the
islands at present, as he was the spe-
cial figure in a court of inquiry which
was investigating the conditions in the
province of which he was provincial
governor.
After adopting an order giving the
day to claims subsequent to the dis
position of the statehood bill, Mr..
Payne of New York notified the house
of the death of Amos J. Cummings
of New York. The customary reso-
buttons of respect were adopted and
the house adjourned.

must be treated as separate and wholly
unrelated questions.
Unfortunately for this contention it
merely opposes words as barrier to a
deep-seated conviction which is sweep
ing over the country from California to
Massachusetts that in some of its
schedules the tariff does serve as a shell
ter for some trusts
When the president says, a remedy
much advocated at the moment is to
take off the tariff from all articles
which are made by trusts it is safe to
say that no such remedy has been pro-
posed from any quarter entitled to con-
sideration- The revision of the Drotec-
tive tariff which is urged by advocates
of protection as an effective curb to
trusts relates only to those schedules
under whose shelter trusts monopolize
the market. advance prices and are en-
abled to underselI foreign competitors
in their home markets.
THE steel trust affords the chief ex-
ample where an industry has long
passed beyond the stage where any Gus
toms duty was needed to protect the
American manufacturer and laborer
against the product of cheap European
labor. BY reason of the tariff it holds
the American market at it's mercy safe
from competition from foreign steel,
while it completes successfully against
the foreign manufacturer while paying
the cost of transportation.
THE demand for tariff revision comes
from the American consumer, who sees
the cost OF production of many protected
commodities greatly reduced without
any comparative reduction in the cost
to him. This is independent of the
question whether or not the articles arS
manufactured by a combination famil
iarly known as trust. although in
great many instances the saving in cost
of production has been effected by a
trust.
THE people. are not fighting trusts as
an economic evolution, but they are
alarmed over their efforts to engross the
market, to reduce the number of en-
ployes and to advance the cost of liv-
ing

rational. except for the excitement I'M
der which he seemed to be from his in
dignation at the treatment to which he
had been subjected. DR. Reed testified
that he had had a knowledge of Mr..
Rynerson since 1885 and that he was
acquainted with the circumstances of
his failing of mind and his being de-
clared insane He testified that the men
tai weakness with which Mr. RynersO1
had been troubled, was only temporary.
He testified that at times he was per-
fectly rational and that his weakness
seemed to be loss of memory, and az
inability to grasp the meaning of things.
After he was taken from the private
asylum friends of his who were at the
house were recognized by him and he

DR.. Reed testified that on September
rs he was called to attend the old man.

from this accident was discovered at

Schoch; THE opinion I formed at the
time was that he had been pretty rough

hours preceding the time of the ex-
animation made by me-"
In answer to Attorney Hungate DR..
Reed said he thought the principal
cause of Mr.. Rynerson's oath was his
old age and that his diseased kidney
was a contributing cause. He later sup
plemented tbs statement with another
in which he said the rough treatment
which Mr.. Rynerson had received,
whether it was either at the hands of
the attendants or from falling, was Il
contributing cause and FASTENED his
death. 1t was shown by question:
ing that the bruises, of the eye could not
have been made without in somewise
in5uring the nose. and all the evidence
goes to prove there was no injury to the
nosa.

WHAT ABOUT TEIsp

TFrom the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
The coal supply of the capitol at
Washington is exhausted and the law
makers and judges of the supreme
court will have a cold time of it this
winter.
Isn't it edifying?
The business of a great nation of TO-
oOO.0 600 people interrupted or hindered
by dispute between a labor organiza-
ton and a group of gentlemen owning
the anthracite supply of the country by
divine grant,
Mr.. Baer. in his now famous letter to
Mr.. Clarke. acknowledged responsibility
by divine appointment-for the well
fare of the workingmen.
But what about the government of
the nation?
If congress is compelled to freeze or
resort to imperfect and unsatisfactory
fuel because Mr.. Baer and the miners
can't agree on the manner in which he
shall discharge his divinely appointed
duty to them, what shall be done about
it7
Mr.. Baer distinctly said that God had
committed to him and his fellows the
. property interests of the country If so,
isn't he responsible for the welfare of
all the people as well as the miners
And doesn't this include congressman
and supreme court justices?
OF course Mr.. Raer can do what he
wills with his own and he can there
fore prevent the digging of coal. If
without coal the people freeze. what s
going to be done about it?
There is a question here affecting the
preservation of the lives of the ~s..oia
people. Is there no method by which
the American people can be saved from
freezing and starving on account of {
dispute between the owners of the Goa
deposits and the miners of coal?
Mr.. Baer and his associates are max
ing this question acute
