For several hours today Mr. Pétterson of Colorado discussed the Philippines question, concluding the speech which he began yes- terday. After reviewing and commenting on the general Philippines question, he at- tacked the pending bill, particularly ite provisions regarding the holding of lands. He declared that it was monstrous and never should be enacted into law. He urged that the Filipinos be granted their inde- pendence and drew an éloguent word ple- ture of the turdimg over to the Filipinos by the United States of the islatids when they had established a government Army Appropriation Bl Early in the session a committee was ap- rointed by the senate to confer with alike committee of the house about the disagree- ment which hae arisen between the two houses as to the army appropriation bifl. Mr. Burrows, chairman of the senate com- mittee on privileges and elections, reported that the committee was K opposed to the house resolution providing for the election of senators by the people; that a majority of the committee was in favor of the Depew amendment, providing that the election of senators In all states shall be uniform ana congress ehall have power to enforce’tne amendment, and finally, that the majority of the committee was opposed to the resolu- tion as reported Mr. Burrows sald that the committee by a majority vote had refused to report the resolution as amended to the senate, either favorably or adversely. He said the com- mittee had not directed him to report the resolution to the semate either favorably or adversely. Mr. Wellington of Maryland moved to discharge the committee from further con- sideration of the resolution. This motion went over at the suggestion of Mr. Hoar. A resolution offered by Mr. Hoar yester- day requesting- the president to inform the senate whethor there is any law which would prevent any Filipino, not under ar- rest, from coming to the United States and stating his views or desires, as tq his coun- try, to the president or to either branch of congress, was adopted. Patterson Resumes His Speech. Consideration was then resumed of the Phillppine government bill, Mr. Patterson continuing his speech in opposition to the administration’s policy ‘o the Philippine Mr. Patterson opinion and he declared that rather have the homor of having taken the position of the semior senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) upon this Phil- ippine question, (han’ tq hlv; thé crown of glory _that' 1’ ‘vouchsafdd’ to the righteous. He twitted Mr. Spooner with having changed his views upon the Phil- ippine question. Mr. Spooner insisted that he had not departed from his ‘position, a# stated in his quoted speech, in"the, slightest degree, while Mn' Patterson had gone far afield from the editorfals he had written. Mr. Patterson sald be had found out his error and had admitted it. Other sena- tors had seen thelr error sud would not admit it. Bill for Cowvporations. Discussing thé pending dill Mr. Patter- son maintained that under it corporations could hold almost any amount of land. Three or four indiylduals could organize themselves inta & handred different cor- porations, he maintained, and thus acquire an unlimited amount of land, He urged thé endctment of the bill pre- sented by the minority, which, ‘he said, tayored giving to the Filipings their inde- pendence under s restris s would give them a stgble government ahd perma- nent peace. He pald a high tribute to thé Filipinos serted that there never ‘was Christian people unfitted for sel ernment and in- dependence, Discussing some -of the testl- mony taken by.the Philippine commission Mr. Patterson said the army was not re- sponsible for the outrages commitied, but that the policy of the wnr.nnant WAS re- sponsible. Vivid Pleture of alono-- Day. In conclusion; Mr. Pattersom drew a vivid word picture of the day, which he hoped would come when Governor Taft or Admiral Dewey, or General Miles, or some other official representing the United States would turn over the Philippine isiands to the Fili- pino government, a cerémony such as re- cently had occurred In Cuba. In the course of a colloquy between Mr. Lodge and Mr. Dubols at the comclusion of Mr. Patterson's speech, it was developed that four speeches yet remained to be de- livered in the gemeral debate—by M». Spooner, Mr, Bacon, Mr. Clay and Mr. Car- mack. Mr. Dubols suggested that the mi- nority, so far as he knew, would be glad to vote next Tu y. This tement led to & discussion as to holding a session of the senate on Memorial day. Mr. Gallinger ot New Hampshire protested agalnst a ses- slon on that day. Mr. Lodge gave notice that on Thursday next he would ask that a time wr a vote on the bill be fixed.

Des Moines Gets a Cut. As the senate receded from its amend- ment cutting tue appropriation for Boone they could do no less than recede from their amendment cutting down the appro- priation for Marshalltown and they restored the appropriation for that city to $85,000, as passed by the house. In view of the re- cessions of the senate conferées for Boone and Marshalltown it became nécessary for the house committee to do a little bit of receding, and after a great deal of discus- slon it was decided to limit the cost of the site for the new postoffice at Des Molnes to $160,000, the house bill having given Des Moines $125,000 and the senate $160,000.
