HOLD ISLASDS BY SURE TITLE United States Olaim to Philippines Pro- aonnoed Gennine and Valid SENATOR BURROWS REVIEWS THE RECORD Acquisition No Says from Method of Country Holds a Title that Court in Christendom Can Challenge. WASBHINGTON, Feb. 19.—~The senate con- tinued the consideration of the Philippine tariff bill today, the main speeches being made by Mr. Burrows of Michigan, for the bill, and Mr. Money of Mississippl, agalnst it, although Mr. Mitchell of Oregonm, Mr. Foraker of Ohlo, Mr. Mallory of Florida and Mr. Tillman of South Carolina all took more or less part in the general debate on the subject. Mr. Burrows maintained that con- gress was dealing with the question as it was today, and with no reference to what took place in the past or what might take place in the future. He maintained that the United States’ oc- cupancy of the ielands was with due regard to international obligations. Mr. Mallory of Florida spoke particularly in favor of Lis amendment to that portion of the bill re- lating to the navigation laws and sald that It was necessary in the. interest of Amer- fean shipping. Mr. Money maintained that it was as much a question of what could be done with the Filipinos as it was to legls- late in the interests of our own people. There were several rather lively exchanges between Mr. Foraker and the opposition senators during the debate. Tillman’s Resolution Adopted. A resolution offered by Mr. Tillman of South Carolina was adopted, directing the Clvil Service commission to transmit to the senate a statement showing the appoint- ment of employes in various departments of the government from the several states and the District of Columbia, together with the percentages of employes in the depart- ments. “We hold the Philippine islands by a title that cannot be challenged by any court in Christendom,” sald Mr. Burrows, resuming his speech. “We have become r eponsible for them to the nations of the world. The pending bill simply furnishes revenues enough to meet tiie needs of the government of the Philippines. e Mr. Burrows’ speech was interrupted to allow the senate to agree to a conference on the house bill establishing a permanent census office and to appoint Senators Quar- les, McComas and Taliaferro as conferees on the part of the senate. Mr. Burrows resumed his speech with a review of the beginning of the war in the Philippines, his effort being to show that the United States proposed to make its oo- cupation of the islands as gentle as pos- sible with a due regard to this government’s international obligations. Question of Authority. ‘While the Michigan senator was reading the - proclamation of President McKinley known as the “benevolent ai proclamation, Mr. Tillman interrupte inquire it he contended that the president had authority to issue that proclamation. No. doubt of it,” replied Mr. Burrows. “While the treaty. had not been ratifi the president had the authority to such & proclamation as a guide to troops.” “In other wordls,” suggested Mr. Tillman, uglthough that proclamation ignored the political status the Philippines, it was expected that the 9)000,000 of people would adcede to its provision.” Mr. Culberson interrupted to say that the proclamation was considered so ' extreme that a part of it was suppressed by Gen- eral Otis. Mr. Burrows asserted that the Filipinos were not prepared by either education or experience for independence and could not maintain it if granted them. Opposed to Innovation. Mr. Mallory of Florida declared his op- position to the principles underlying the pending measure. He maintained that the proposition of the majority to admit forelgn ships to our coastwise trade was too great an innova- tion and it ought not to be considered lightly. - Mr. Mallory did not want to em- barrass the shipping on the Pacific, so he had fixed in his amendment a limit of time during which forelgn ships should enjoy the % | participation In the Philippine trade. wi course of & conversation That limit was July 1, 1903. After that time, according to his amendment, the United States navigation law would apply to the Philippine trade exclusively.

Mitchell Replies to Money. Replying to Mr. Money, Mr. Mitchell con- tended that the United States had mcquired title to the Philippines through the tri- umph of its arms and through the treaty of Paris. He said the Filipinos had never achieved their own independence, never had been recognized by any other natiom. ‘We should get rid of the islands in our ) Mr. Mo , and es- pecially for the ‘purpose of eradicating from our country the practice on the part of congress of conferring autocratic powers on the executive. “We will find before we.termjnate this experiment,” he sald, “‘that the saddest day of our history is the day that, we signed the Spanish treaty,” Replylng to Mr. Tillman, Mp Foraker said the people of Lmallhnl had been al- lowed to elect a goyernpr and fhe judiclary of that territory and that the gevernment established in the Philippines far more liberal than the government egtablished in Louisiana by Jeffergon, the democratic con- gress of that day, After some further ducuu(ol the senate at 5:25 p. m. adjourned, REFUTES CHARGE OF CRUELTY to Semate from War t Describe War in ppi ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Responding to an inquiry from Senator Lodge, the secre- tary of war today sent to him a large number of papers bearing upon the charge that cruelty is practiced by the American troops on the natives of the Philippines. Senator Lodge presented the documests in the senate. Among the documents forwarded are the records of thirteen investigations into such charges and the secretary says that “every report or charge of this description, which bas at any time been brought to the notice of the War department, bas been made the subject of prompt investigation.” He adds that in pearly every case inquired into the report has proved to be either unfounded or grossly exaggerated. He also says the department is now en- gaged |n conducting an lnvestigation iato the charge made in the senate last week that the “water cure” is the favorite tor- ture of the Americans, and especially of the Macabebe scouts, to force the unatives to give information, and that & soldier whe was with Geperal Fumston had stated. that be had helped to administer the “water cure” to 160 matives, all but twenty-six of whom died. He encloses a copy of & letter received from General Funston, dated February 2, 1502, In which he declares the statement to be an “atrocious lie,. without the slightest foundation of fact,” and also a letter from Lieutenant Batson, the com- mander of the Macabebe scouts, to the same effect. Coples of the army regulations prohibit- ing cruelty are also forwarded, as are the memoranda in forty-four cases of officers, soldlers and camp followers, who have been tried and thirty-nine of them convicted, for violation of these orders. Presenting the other side of the plcture, Secretary Root The war on_ the part of the Fillpinos bas been conducted with the barbarous cruelty common among uncivilized races and with general disregard to the rules of civilized warfas DEATH RECORD.

WASHINGTON, Feb. general debate on the Indian &pprob lon bill was devoted almost entirely to ex- traneous topics. As on yesterday, the issue ralsed by Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky a few days ago came in for considerable attention and was the feature of the session. Mr. Bromwell, an Ohio republican; Mr. Kern, an Ilifnois democrat, and Mr. Fleming, a Georgla democrat, added their views to the Mlterature of the subject, but it w Boutell, an Illinois republican, who en tained the house most. He was well fortified with material, and with exceeding good temper and & trenchant display of Again today the as he said, from the day the first democrat purchased a bogus coat-of-arms from Queen Lilloukalani, by the last democratic presi- dent. He finally dismissed the whole sub- Ject by saying it should be accepted abroad a8 one of the “erratic and sporadic phases of American humor.' Hamilton on Trusts. Mr. Hamilton, a Michigan republican, en- lvetied the session with an entertaining speech on trusts. The other speakers were Mr. Little of Arkansas, who discussed con- ditions in the Indian Territory; Mr. Cor- liss of Mississippl, who spoke of the Pae oific cable; Mr. Timmins of Texas, on statehood for Oklahoma; Mr. Sulzer of New York, on increased pay for letter carriers; Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, on the educa- tion of the Indians; Mr. Jackson of Kane sas, on the election of senators by the people, and Mr. Newlands of Nevada, on the bill to redeem ailver dollars in'gold. Mr. Corliss of Michigan delivered the second installment of his speech in favor of the bullding of a government cable to the Philippines. He argued agaipst any consideration of the Commercial Cable company's offer to bulld a cable from San Francisco to Manila, denouncing the cor- poration as an ally of the Eastern Exten- sion Cable company, whose allied lines, he sald, embraced a system which aggregates nearly 70,000 nautical miles of cable, cov- ering the most extensive and powerful cable ang telegraph monopoly in the world. Extend Present Monopoly. He sald thelr lines reached every con- tinent, except North America, and the pur- pose of the union with its American ally, the Commercial Pacific Cable company, Is to encircle the globe and to extend the ine fluence and advantage of its present mo- nopoly In the Pacific ocean and far east. ‘What have you to say to the allega Interrupted H, C. Smith of Michigan, your bill is in the interest of the Western Union Telegraph company Mr. Corliss replied that he was glad the question had been asked, he sald: “In the Mtty-Afth congress the Pacific Cable com- pany and the Commercial were secking leg- i8lation for the privilege of constructing a subsidy<fed cable.” Me had then cou- tended, he sald, that if two great com- panies. wanted the privilege it should be glven to. the lowest.and, best bidder, or that &, governmen cable should be bullt. At that |, ¥lme, he said, the Western Unfon opposed|. his {déd and the Postal encouraged the idea of a government cable. The Postal ana the Commercial had formed an alliance Wwith ‘the Eastern company and was now opposed to a government cable. The West- ern Unlon and Atlantic Cable company wére now threatened with a monopolistic cable combination. Mr. Jackson of Kansas spoke in favor of agitation against the senate to compel it to the joint resolution for a constitutional direct popular vote. Mr. Kern of Illinols, who announced that he represented a large German constit- uency and was himself a son of German parents, protested against the attempt to make political capital out of the recent ech of Representative Wheeler, which he characterized as an dent. Mr. Boutell of Illinols congratulated Mr. Kern on his accession to the band of Amer- fcan humorists in which Mr. Wheeler nked so high. Mr. Boutell then pro- eded with delicate hum to trace the lgin. of what Mr. heeler had called “truculent sycophamcy.” W¥irst, he read a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1771, in which he authorized the purchase of a ccat of arms for him, and from another written four years later, in which he said be would rather be dependant on Great Bri ain than any other country or than none. Down to Martin Van Buren. Then he passed down to the days of Mar- tin Van Buren and told of the visit of his son John to the court of St. James, which Mr. Boutell said he felt sure that when t daughter of the president returned from the coronation of King Edward she would not be known as “Princess Alice.” Mr. Boutell caused great amusement by reading a published account of the tour of the United States by the Grand. Duke Alexis in 1871, dwelling upon the details of his visit to Kentucky, where he was re- celved “officially” and with great state. With exceedingly good temper he concluded by expressing the hope that what had oc- curred in the house within the week would be accepted abroad simply as an- other evidence of the erratic and sporadic form which American humor sometimes took in the American house of Pepresenta- tives Mr. Fleming of Georgia closed the inci- dent with a few remarks, 1 wherein he took issue with Mr. Wh General debate on.the Indian appropri tion bill was closed and at 5:05 p. m. the house adjourned. WOMEN GET AFTER MR. SHAW Indignant Females Take Secretary to ‘WASHINGTON, Fi has recelved from Elizabeth C. Hobson, secretary of the committee of women who regently made complaiut of the persenal baggage inspection methods at New York making complaint, asking them numerous questions on the subject. The answer says the secretary’'s letter “seems to be quite beside the mark. “The real question,” says Mrs. Hobson's letter, “is whether or not you propose to maintain the regulations or alter them? You kuow that receipted bills are not ac- ocepted as proof of value. Others of your questions relate to the recollections of travelers as to what happened on different voyages during & period of three years and heir futility suggests that they were pre- pared by the same one of your subordinates s drafted the impossible regulations.

Fireman Edward Leeder related another phase of the Redell character. “I've seen him come into engine house No. 1 on cold winter days,” sald he, “when he would have his overcoat and gloves on, and-curse and swear at the men because there was & little fire in the stove. I've kmown him also to rale Cain because the man who was on the night watch wanted to burn a little gas to read by. “I wi t the Mercer Chemical company fire, when four firemen were killed. One fireman ‘looked out of the second-story window at his dead comrades lying below, when Redell bawled at him like a wild bull, ‘What are you doing up there?' *“The man said he was looking at his a comrades. Vell, go home! Go home, you!' Redell yelled at him. “At another fire I saw him knook down an outsider, who was standing looking on. The crowd took It up and jeered him.” Turned the Hose on Them. Lieutenant Patrick H. Dempsey told what happened at the Glencoe mill fire. “Eluht of us were trying to life a sixty-t ladder up fo a third-story window, he, “but there was a telephone wire in the way, which caused some delay. Redell didn’t seem to understand the situation, for he flew into a passion, and began cursing us. Suddenly he snatched a hose nozzel away from some firemen who were playing it on the fire and turned it square upon us. He was about twenty feet away from us. “You damned blockheads,’ he screamed, ‘I'll wash you off the face of the earth!® “I jumped behind the ladder, which broke the force of the stream so far as I was concerned, but one of the men was knocked down by it. There was a pressure of about ninsty-five pounds to the square inch. The water came with such force that if it had struck a man in a vital spot it would have disabled him for life, or if it had struck him square in the face it would have put his eyes out.” “Did the chief pull the stream off the fire in order to turn it on you men?" asked Attorney Connell. “Yes, sir," was the answer. “Did it have a tendency to stimulate the men to greater effort?" “No, sir; it demoralized us, and made us 80 nervous we couldn’t do anything.
