If the the German people were then wi the explanation is that ideal trait of the German character which causes Germans to sympathise with the weaker party in fight. But we have long since gotten over that. Sharp conflicts of interest exist be- tween Germany and the United State These, however, are not political, but confined to economic matters. Perhaps a way has at last been found which renders gol.lble a settlement of these conflicts. erhaps the visit of Prince Henry will give occasion to this end. At any rate much will be gained If this visit reawakens a lively " consciousness of the traditional friendly relations among the rulers and the people of both nations. It will also remove the misunderstandings which the sensational press has created and nour- ished. Prince Henry's visit will certainly clear the atmosphere, improve the rela- tions and revivity the cordiality which has always existed between the two gov- ernments. It will be remembered that the Kreuz Zeltung was one of the most hostlle critics of the United States in 1898, which attitude it has since maintained.

I only wish I could have shared his labors and supported his policy.” Lord Rosebery's reply, therefore, marks a definlte separation from the liberal party. Referring to this matter zditorially the Times remarks that the rupture is mow complete and fhat Lord Rosebery stands committed to action.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20—~With the ex- ception of a few minutes given to routine business the senate today devoted its en- tire session to the Philippines question. Mr. Patterson of Colorado, one of the minority members of the Philippines com- mission, delivered his first extended speech in the senate and was given a most at- tentive and careful hearmy. He discussed principally the sedition laws enacted by the Philippines commiseion, vigorously at- tacking the authority of the commfission to enact and enforce such laws. He main- tained that congress alone had the power to put in force enactments of that charac- ter. He compared information furnished by the executive departments of the gov- ernment with some of the statements of Governor Taft in his testimony before the Philippines commission *with respect to the capabilities of the Filipinos and declared with some heat his belief that Govermor Taft misrepresented the true situati in . the islands for motives unknown. He as- serted that if the 6,000,000 of Christians in the Philippines were Protestant Chriatians the cruelties practiced on them by the American authorities would have to stop, as no member of congress would be able to withstand the wrath of the Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians of thjs country. Question of Sectariani Mr. Nelson of Minnesota presented a legal and conetitutional argument in support of this government's action In the Philippine archipelago and sharply criticized Mr. Pat- terson for injecting into the controversy the question of sectarianism. Mr. McCumber of North Dakota urged that congress should not bind the future now Dy a declaration of a definite pollcy regarding the Philippines, as it was de- sirable that possible {nformation should be in hand before a permanent pelicy was . determined upon. h Mr. Patterson maintained that under the enactments of the Philippines commission any person found the Cony -~ ( Disctissing the testimony of Taft before the Philippines commission, Mr. Patterson said that seldom had & peo- ple been held up to greater contumely and scorn than had been applied to the Filipinos by Judge Taft, “who literally, at least, is their ruler.” Sentiment for independence might be stamped out by a great army, sald Mr. Pat- terson, but such & course would be one of infamy, Six Million Christians. In conclusion Mr. Patterson referred to the fact that 6,000,000 of the people of the {slands were Christians. “But, he sald, “they are not Protestant Christlane.” On motion of Mr. Lodge, the sena agreed to meen at 11 a. m. tomorrow. Mr. Nelson of Minnesota followed, with a legal argument dealing with varlous phases of the Philippine question. In be- ginning he took Mr. Patterson sharply to - task for injecting sectarianism in the discussion, holding that it was' unwar- ranted and inexcusable. It had remained for Mr. Patterson, too, he sald, to declare that the sending of American teachers to the Philippines to teach the Filipino youth the English language was an act of tyranny and despotism. Mr. Nelson declared that it was & slander upon the American people to assert, as the minority did, that this government was not fully competent to give the Phil- ippines a good government. v Slander on American Nation. ““We are there,” sald he, “and I it to tell the senators on the other side that the people of this country will never con- sent to abandon those islands. When did it come to pass,’ he demanded impul sively, “that the American people became & set of tyrants? When did it come 10 pass that the American soldiers became Bashi- Besoks over those islands? It is a slander upon the American nation.” A bill authorizing the construction of a bridge over the Missouri river at Kansss City passed and the senate them, at 5:13 p. m., went into executive session and soon afterward adjourned.
