Aid from the PRONGUNCE RIXEY BILL IMPRACTICABLE Gardner, Republican, of Michigan ports Measure to Place Ex- s 1n Homes of nion Soldiers Secennio WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—The house con- tinued the debate on the pension appropria- tion bill today and devoted much time to the proposition advanced by Mr. Rixey of Virginia to open the doors of the soldlers’ homes to ex-confederate veterans. Two notable speeches w mlt in support of the proposition, one by r. Gardner, a Michigan republican, and the other by Mr. De Armond, a Missouri democrat. Mr. De Armon eloquence aroused both sides of the Wouse. ‘But republicans with the exception of Mr. Gardner took no part In the Rixey resolution, which met with much opposition on the demooratic side on the ground that it was impracticable. Mr. Lamb of Virginia read a number of telegrams from prominent ex-confederates from Richmond protesting against it. Coo, Explaine His B Representative Cooper, chalrman of the house committeo on insular affairs and author ‘of the bill establishing @ civil gov- ernment In the Philippines, today made a statement regarding his plan of self-gov- ernment for the islands.

Mr. Gardner of Michigan, reverting to the speech of Mr. Rixey yesterday in favor of opening the doors of national soldiers’ homés to ex-confederates, sald he approved the suggestion. ‘As an ex-union soldier, he sympathized with, the spirit that sought to take care of our own and predicted that the time would come, and ‘at no dlstant day, when the homes for disabled yeterans, bullt and maintained by the common government, would be Iike to noldiers ‘whether of the unfom or conf His expression of ‘the semtiment 'Ill 1t was better to care for the destitute ‘than | care for the graves of the dead, immortal though they might be, was greeted with a round of applause on the democratic side. Unton of Feelf: He apoke of the better feeling engehdered between the sections by the Bpanish war and sald that since then whatever differ- ences existed among the people of the coun- try had ceased to exist as sectional differ- ences and notice had been merved on the civilized world that in any future war with the United States“the whole country must be reckoned with. Mr. Miers of Indlana, taking advantage of the latitude allowed in general debate, delivered a speech on'the general political situation mainly devoted to the administra- tion's policy In the FPhilippines. After three years, during which countless mil- llions of treasure had been expended and thousands lost their .lives, he believed that it the administration would now declare,a purpose to independence to the Philip- pines the war in the islands would end in #ix months, Mr. Otey of Virginia, who followed Mr, Miers, took isaue with- his colleague, Mr. Rixzey, regarding the method of relleving needy ex-confederates. He proposed as an aiternative proposition that the money in ry to the credit of abandoned con- property bé distributed 10 per cent annually to the-confederate homes in the south. He declared that the day would come when monuments would be erected in the natlonal capital to Lee, Jackson, Stuart and Forrest, not as rebels, but as grand and great Americans. Otey Creates Laughter. ing stories illustrative of his arguments. Mr. Glbson of Tennesseé, speaking of the policy of the administration, sald that the republicans believed in retaining the archl- pelago and questioned the loyalty of every American who ‘desired to relinquish them. Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky interposed to say that he questioned not only the loyalty, but the intelligence ot anyone who would utter such a sentiment on the floor of con- areas, It has been the favorite practice of the democratic party In the south,” replied Mr. Gibson, "to charge every man who loved his country with ignorance.” With some display of heat he said he would hurl the epithet back lnto the face of the gentleman from Kentucky. Mr. Wheeler explained that he did not mean to charge those in the south who had followed the union flag with ignorance. He bad only meant to brand as ignorant those who charged disloyalty to men ¥ho belleved it bad policy to retain the Philippine islande. DeArmond Favors Rixey. Mr. De Armond of Missourl approved the suggestion of Mr. Rixey of Virginla to open the doors of soldiers’ homes to ex-con- tederat He took lssue with those eho had declared that the confederate soldiers had sought to destroy the government of the United States. The leaders of the lost cause, he sald bel d {mplicitly in the theory of secession and the rank and file not indulging in fine spun theories find- Ing that war had come fought for their homes and firesides. This suggestion to allow those on the losing side to enter the homes of the winners, was worthy to be considered in calmness and in charity. He pald a warm tri to Rixey, who had made the suggestion, and te Mr. Garduner, the Michigan republican, who had endorsed jt. Those two men, sald he, were typical of the better sense and better senti- ment of American statesmanship. Tribute te Gard . When & man like Mr. Gardner could ri; above the petty bickerings of todsy and, lorlpnin( the animositfes of the past, re- member only the valor of his countrymen and express such sentiments as he had Mr, De Armond said he hafled it ns the @dawning of a brighter and a better day “Mr. Chairman,” sald Mr. De Armond, “I think the time has already arrived when in the north and ia the south there Is a common sense of pride In the glory and manhood of the soldler ‘of the war of the sixties. And the time has now come when A great many, and If we do not realize it, our children will, of the leaders of the south will be pointed to north and south, east and west, as the brightest ornaments of our time. “I belleve that in all the Christian era, there has not arisen a leader of men with all the better elements of manhood, a nobler and more magnificent specimen of the best that manhood can do In its proud- est and most glorious and most successful moments than General Robert E. Lee. (Ap- plause.) Stands by the BI “I am perfectly willing to stand by the billy and the advocacy and support of it There can be no greater charity to the fed- eral soldier, there can be nolhlng better for the soldier of the north, of the south, than to furnish him a bhome when there 18 no home elsewhere. Far better than to dispense the pensions with a lavish hand, or deal them out sparingly Is to furnish these old woldlers with the surroundings of the household, where the blasts of winter have no terror for them and where they may prepare for the final grand march across the river.” Mr, Snodgrass of Tennessee took the view that the care of union soldiers by the gov- ernment was In return for services ren- dered the government and sald that If the home could be apened legally and constitu- tionally to needy ex-confederates they could bo opened to any other needy American eltizen. Mr. Lamb of Virginia contended that the union and confederate veterans co:'d not live In harmony together, beca. - the former would be in the soldier's homes & matter of right, while the latter would be there as a matter of charity. He read telegrams received from ex-confederates in Richmond, protesting against the Rixey proposition. Mr. Hooker ot M ippl, the one-armed confederate veteran, In a brief but vigorous specch, argued that the confederacy had not endeavored to destroy the foundation of the federal government, but to preserve and defend the principles underlying the declaration of independence and the con- stitution of 1789, The aker announced the appointment of Mesors.

The insurgents created a surprise by bringing In sixty more rifles than the au- thorities thought Marisigan could command In the district of Taal, which he controlled. The Filipinos who surrendered included three colonels, one major, five captains and twelve lieutenants. They gave up 219 rifles and one cannon.

It provides for a meeting next Friday and instructs Senator Motgan, as chajrman of the committee, to confer in‘the meantime with the president for the purpose of ascertaining whether the Panama, proposition has been received by the Isthmian Canal commi case it bas been recelved, to the chairman of the camal commission whether it will be necessary for the com- | mission; to' propare & report on the propo- sition. . msiotion wes carried unsnimously. lon due to_the expressed wish ot y9® the members to afford an oppftunity to give considgration to the Padama - proposition, There was also a sentimaont expressed agalinst any prolonged Ppostponement. The republican members of the Philippine commission, have not arrived at any definite agreement to amend the Philippine tariff bill. It Is given out as altogether probable that the rate of duty om Philip- pine products coming to this country will be 75 per cent of the Dingley rat with a reduction on goods upon which an export tax s charged In the Philippines, equal to such tax. Some republicans are still doubtful about accepting the proposition, but it is said the majority favor it.
