FRYE REBUKES HIS COLLEAGUES.
Just as Senator Tllman had evoked
a burst OF laughter, during the dis
cussion of the amount of steel in a

there was in ship subsidy, Senator
Frye OF Maine took occasion to rebuke
the whole proceeding as unscemly and
undignifed For the Senate to hold a
session on the sabbath day, he remark
ed. for the sole purpose of frivolous
debate for the amusement of the gal

proceeding he had ever witnessed.
While he spoke. Mr.. Frye turned so
as to face Senator Carmack. who was

replied:

DEFINITION OF FILIBUsTERER
At this juncture a colloquy occurred be-

L. S. WORSE THAN SPAIN.


Mr.. Crosvenor of Ohio, who advocated
the bill, expressed the opinion that the
United States mad been guilty of moro
wrongs towards the Philippines than
Spain had been and Mr.. Longworth
thought that the bank bill should be
passed as CrUmb Of comfort in the face
Of the failure to pass the Philippine tariff
bill
1t was here that Mr. Rucker made
his charge that Secretary Taft won the
support of the members while they
were his guests on the Philippine trip.
Mr.. Parsons of New York asked for
an explanation and Mr., Rucker replied
that the gentleman knew what he
meant. Mr.. Parsons replied that the
secretary of war had urged members
Of the Senate and House to go to the
Philippines so that they could intelli-
gently legislate for the islands.

Mr. Rucker said he knew nothing
about the trip and he didn't care about
It, but 1t was his opinion that the leg e.

people as it/rrew more odious
