Ii was not unlikely. he said. that these
Filipinos eventually would become lead
States. The association of the United
States and the Philippines, he declared.

hypocrisy and will end in disaster
Prediction Regarding Taft.
He predicted that should Secretary Taft

Discussing the attitude of the people
of the Pacific coast toward the Japanese,
Mr.. Slayden said:
They talk about the yellow peril and

in the south"
Replying to Mr.. slayden. Mr.. Holiday
of Indiana said he was not afraid of the
"bugaboo" of a Philippine complication
in the future.
Messrs. Golden of New York. HobsOn of
Alabama and Parker Of New Jersey also
had a kind word - say for the Filipino.
The report was adopted and the bill now

PAYNE'S WEAK REPLY TO JOHN
SHARP WILLIAMS.

Washington. May 26.-Under suspension
of the rules the house today adopted an
order presented by Majority Leader
Payne granting TO members leave to
print for five days after adjournment.
Minority Leader Williams opposed the
order In his opinion, the privilege was
but a reward TO men who are unscrupu-
lous. men who are dishonest in statement,
men who are careless and reckless or
what they are willing to say. He did not
believe In matter going 10 the Congress
siOnal Record that could not be replied to.
The Republicans. he charged, intended to
try to defend the policy of doing nothing.
One reason. he said. why the house had
sunk so low was because the Congress
sional Record had become so bulky no one
read it, and the people were compelled
TO get their Information of what congress
was doing from the press. The Repub-
licans. he said. had much 10 explain 10
