PATTERSON AND SPG0NER
CLASH ON PHILIPPINES
Colorado Senator Charges Wisconsin
Colleague With Changing His Views
on Keeping the Islands.

Consideration OF the naval appropria-
ton was continued in the Senate this
afternoon. and LED to a verbal exchange
between Mr.. Patterson Of Colorado, and
Mr.. Spooner. The former was speaking
in advocacy Of an amendment proposed
by him relating to armor plate manu-
facture, giving the Secretary OF the
Navy authority to construct Govern
ment plant If bids submitted are too
high.
Mr.. Patterson adverted to the Philip
pine question and declared the voice Of
the Senator from Wisconsin is muhied-
Mr.. Spooner Immediately demanded 10
know what Mr.. Patterson meant by the
allusiOn. The Colorado Senator tx
planned that in a general way Mr..
Spooner had changed his mind on the
Philippine pOlicN for commercial and
humanitarian reason.

my mind In any respect IN relation 10

to future action by Congress"
Mr.. SpOoner expressed the view that
when the time came that the FilipinOs
could show themselves capable Of SELF
government, they would be able TO OBJ
tain autonomy from Congress He said
he realized he had made many mis-
takes in his life, but that he had not
done so in voting for the treaty with
Spain.
