DUBOIS FEARS THE DRAGON Idaho Benator Deprecates Oommerocial Com- petition with the Orient. THINKS BIG CHINESE TRADE NOT POSSIBLE ates’ Activity in Arouse Celes- als from Their Lethargy and Result Unprofitably, WASHINGTON, May 23.—A temperate and carefully prepared speech was deliv- ered in the senate today on the Philippins bill by Mr. Dubois of Idaho. He confined himself almost entirely to a discussion ot the commercial and industrial aspects of the Philippines question; his purpose belng to show that it would be a disadvantage to the people of this country to retain these islands. Whatever of profit there might be in them, he sald, would accrue to a few cap- italists who, by their development of the resources of the archipelago through cheap labor, would come into competition with the agriculturalists and manufacturers of the United States in the markets of the world. This government's activity in the Philipplges also would serve to arouse China from her lethargy and once aroused the dragon would devour the trade of the world. An earnest and forcible reply to Mr. Dubols was made by Mr. Beveridge of In- diana, who contended that the development of China's resources would be of advantage trade and commerce to the United as the industrial development of other nations had been. Hale's 1P Mr. Hale of Maine, from the appropria- tions committee, reported a bill making an additional appropriation for the present fiscal year. As the bill passed the house it carried an appropriation of $81,500,000 and the committee added $98,500. The prineipal additions were for printing for the Navy and Interior departments. The bill was passed. Mr. Stewart of Nevada, chairman of the Indian affairs committee, offered a joint resolution, which he said met some objec- tions of the president to the Indian appro- priation bill. The resolution provided for the modification of certain provisions of the Indian appropriation bill, relating to the making of allotments to the Indlans of the Spokane Indlan reservation to the pay- ment to certaln Indians of an amount ag- gregating $70,064, and to the settlement of the Indian lands. The resolution . was assed. Mr. Dubols then began his speech. He id the republican policy was “to hold the nds for all time as a colony and to ex- ploit them for the advantage and gain of our own people. The minority intend to give the people an independent government and to turn the islands over to them when they have established their own govern- ment." He was satisfled that there was great danger to the white labor of the United States attendant upon the development of industrial activity by this government in the Philippines and declared that the United States could not compete with Japan for the Oriental trade. China, too, was also a menace, in his opinion, to the supremacy of the United States in the Ori- ental trade. The large exportation of flour from the United States to the Orient he thought had misled people to belleving that we could es- tablish there a large trade. This was an idle dream. He believed it would be but a short time until the wheat needed by China would be raised by Chinese. Fears Land Monopoly. Mr. Dubols described that feature of the bill which permitted corporations to take up 5,000 acres of land in the Philippines ought to be stricken out; he believed that under it the richest lands would ultimately fall into the hands of great syndicates, thus encouraging a tremendous production of sugar, cotton and tobacco. The total trade of the United States with the Philippine islands he sald w about $5,000,000 a year. We had spent more money in the Philippines war than all the trade of the islands with the United States would amount to in a 150 years, and every day we remalned in the islands our loss would be increased. Mr Beveridge declared that the whole ar- gument of the Idaho senator had been made for the purpose of frightening the Ameri- can people with the dragon of China. Mr. Dubols bad maintained that when China bad adopted modern methods in the devel- opment of its resources it would supply not only its own needs, but those of the world. It it were true, Mr. Beveridge held, then it would be true that the United states ought not to encourage the devel- opment of any country. He urged that that was not true. Japan had had, recently a most wonde: ful development and along with that d opment our exports had increased from $3,000,000 a year to more than $29,000,000 a year. This would be true of China. The exports to China from outside countries améunted to about, $250,000,000 a year and he believed that it would be possible easily for the United States to secure one-halt of that trade. The Philippines, he main- talned, were a door to Chinese trade, CHANGING SOME OLD RULES President and Secretary Root I Orllers Creating Innovation in War Department. on.

Secretary of War Root delivered a briet but happy address, in which he reminded his hearers that Gaulols then rested on the same waters which washed the shores of Yorktown. In conclusion he offered the following to “1 drink to the army of France, ever faithful and gentle in friend- ship, ever fearless and gallant in war.” Admiral Fournier followed with an ap- propriate address, in which he dwelt upon the high esteem which existed between the French and American navies, and proposed a toast to Mr. Roosevelt and the presi- dential household. Always Mission of Peace. Secretary of the Navy Moody delivered a brief but vigorous address. in which he dwelt upon the fact that the French floet had never visited America except upon a triendly mission. He declared that when the French nation came to our aid more than 100 years ago its soldiers not only per- formed a good service in behalt of hu- manity, but they imposed on us a trust which involved an obligation on our part to tulfill that trust, and said it is a matter of national pride that the American people have not been lacking in that respect. The secretary ended by a toast to the navy of France, which was responded to with a hearty will. Ambassador Cambon concluded the speech-making by again arising and dwell- ing upon the chivalrous character of the American people. “I now propose a toast,” said he, “to Mrs. Roosevelt, the first lady of the land,” which elicited a most enthusiastic response.

VAIN PLEA FOR BROTHERS Clemencia Lopes Petitions President Roosevelt, Who Says Nothing Can Be Dene. lh.”ll\k”»\\'fll personally that h naval visited and fon WASHINGTON, May 23.—The senate committee on the Philippines today made public a petition presented by Miss Clem- encla Lopez, a sister of Sixto Lopez, to the president for the release of three of her brothers of the province of Batangas, who have been taken into custody by Gen- eral Bell and sent to the island of Talim, where, she says, they are under great hardships. Miss Lopez is in Boston and her petition is dated there March 15 last. The text of the petition covers several printed pages, but the facts gnd also the plea made by Miss Lopez are summarized in the follow- ing: Three of my brothers, Lorenzo, C1 fllno and Manuel Lopez, are prisoners the land of Talim; all the A)mperty ol’ my mily has been seized and we are almost estitute. Against two of my brothers there is no definite charges, nor have any ¢ them been allowed even a court-martial. ly other brother, Clpriano, is accused, without evidence, of having concealed fifty uns when he surrendered with his troops n March, 1%01. Moreover, four of the su- perlmendenu o! our estates have been ar- rested and have been Inhumanly punished {6 make them give up these supposed guns. My family has alwa lendly with the American officers, my oldest brother, ariano, having rendered valuable serv: ice In pacifying several provinces, and our ‘town of Balayan Is the only permanently of such great injustice I have coms directly to you, Mr. President, to beg of you to give us justice. She says that when the superintendents of the estates were arrested they were cruelly beaten, one of them dying as a re- sult of the blows inflicted by the soldiers. Among the papers 18 a report on the case by Charles E. Magoon, law officer of the division of the insular affairs of the Philip- pines of the War department, who recom- mended that the petition be not granted for the following reasons: 1. That under the conditions existing in ngas province in December, 191, Brig- adler General Bell, in the nce’ under S gcration, exaritsed s lawhil athority in a _lawful manner. 2 That the showing made by the papers flied_herein is not sufficient.to overthrow the presumption that the action taken by the authorities in Batangas was warranted by the facts and the necessities of the military situation. The president’s position in the matter is made known through the following note of Secretary Cortelyou to Mrs. Mabel Bayard Warren of Boston, under date of April 23: with th in con- sultation with Governor Taft here, and that he does not think anything can'prop- erly be done. He will see Secretary Root on his return from Cuba, but there ap- pears to be & concensus of opinion that n [njustice was done.
