NOW UNFINISHED BUSINESS
irrigation Of the Arid West and Ur.
gent Deficiency Bill Up In
the House.

Washington, Jan. 21.-For nearly
three hours today the senate had UNI
der consideration the Philippine tar
if bill. The measure was made the
unfinished business and probably will
hold that position until it shall have
been voted on finally.
The debate was opened by Mr..
Lodge of Massachusetts,, chairman of
the committee on Philippines. He
sketched in a free handed way the
resolutions which had actuated the
majority in presenting the measure
and urged strongly it's enactment into
law at an early date. He explained
with some minuteness the necessity
for the legislation embodied in the
bill and ended with an appeal to the
senate and to congress to deal with
questions relating to the Philippines
as they might arise, and to keep clear
of vague words and wagner promises,
which wer likely to be misinterpret-
ed and raise false hopes in the minds
of the Filipinos. In an impassioned
peroration he besought congress not
to give mortgages on the unknown
future.
Mr.. Rawlins of Utah delivered a
vigorous speech in support of the mi
nority substitute, in which independ-
ency was promised to the F%ilipinos SO
soon as a stable government could be
established in the Philippines. His
discussion of the general Philippines
question covered much ground
Throughout he was accorded careful
attention.
At the conclusion of debate for the
day, Bacon of Georgia sharply criti'
cised the secretary of war for an al

C. Odom, a brother Of Milan Odom,
and a half brother of Raymond White
was called in the district court and a
large number of people came here
from Wallis as witnesses, among them
relatives of j. G. Odom. @
There was no outbreak until the
parties met at the depot, where a
large crowd was assembled awaiting
the train. Just how the affair started
no one seems to know definitely but
it is generally claimed that the first
hostile act was committed by the
Odom faction.
The first person wounded was Wal
ter Pennington, he then opened fire
and i an instant the shooting became
general.
The two Dipperts were standing to-
gether and had no chance to get un-
der cover. Henry was struck by a
bullet and dropped dead where he
stood. Anton's wound is in the side,
and it is believed will not prove dan
gerous.
When the shooting ceased it was
found that White and Odom had been
instantly killed, White dying with his
pistol cooked and ready to fire. Wal
ter Pennington was carried to a hotel
where he now lies in a dying condi
ton. His father, Elihu Pennington
was struck only once, the bullet plow
ing through his hair and under the
scalp on the left side Of his head.

ONE PATRIOTIC DEMOCRAT IN
THE HOUSE.
Mr.. CuMMINS OF new YORK
Believed 1t Right to Provide Shelter
for American Soldiers and Vot-
ed His Convictions.

= Washington, Jan. 22.-Some of the
the proceedings of the house today
when the item in the urgent defici-
ency bill appropriating 100000 for a
military post at Manila, which the
democrats have been using as a text
for speeches in opposition to the Phil
ippine policy of the administration
for the last three days was reached.
Mr.. Cannon, in charge of the bill,
confessed that the appropriation was
subject to a point of order and it went
over. In lieu thereof he offered an
amendment to appropriate the same
sum for shelter and protection of
the officers and enlisted men of the
army on duty in the Philippines"
This the chair held to be in order
and it at once became the subject of
a very spirited debate in which Mr..
Richardson, the minority leader, Mr..
Almond of Missouri were pitted
against the chairman of the %appropria-
tions committee.
Partisan applause rang out on each
side to cheer on the respective cham
pions and there seemed to be a solid
line up or each side of the political
aisle. But when the vote came to
be taken, Mr.. Cummins, a New York
democrat, voted with the republicans.

as he did so, and with clinched fist

he refused to vote to protect an Amer

The vote on the adoption of the
amendment stood, yeas 1877, nays 100.
Before the general debate closed Mr..
Watson paid a beautiful tribute to the
late President Mckinley.

Occasionally parent is found wise enough to
grasp the situation, and the question intelli-

in litigation and alienation of feeling-a sunderng
of the ties of friendship and the engendering of strife
and bitterness that and warp the entire future.
This is but picture Of human nature often witnessed.

safety is to realize the fact that good education is
