Says They Are the Outgrowth of Position Taken by Government. WASHINGTON, May 15.—An extended | speech by McLaurin of Mississippi in op- | peeition to the pending Philippine govern- ment bill was a feature of to-day’s ses- sion of the Senate. The Mississippi-Sen- ator vigorously assailed the administra- | tion’s policy in the Philippines. He dep- recated the outrages perpetrated in the islands, whether they were committed by the Filipinos or by the Americans. They were, in his judgment, the natural growth | of the Government’s policy, for which, he maintained, the Republican party was| responsible. He urged the abandonment of the policy in the interest of humanity and justice. He declared that the minority was not discussing the pending measure to obtain political capital, as all the polit- ical material which the Democrats de- sired had been made for them by the Re- publicans in this Congress. The bill providing for the erection of a union raflway station in Washington and the fortifications appropriation bill were passed. The House to-day was plunged into a new debate on Phillppine affairs. Thus far the subject of alleged dtrocities in the islands has engaged the attention of the Senate alone and only occasionally echoes have been heard in the House. But to- day the reports of cruelty and outrage were rehearsed' in the House with ve- hemence and bitterness. The naval bill | was the order of the day, but it recelved only scant attention after the allegations of Philippine outrages were presented. A speech by Vandiver of Missouri, reciting instances of alleged outrages, brought on the discussion. Personalities and recrim- inations were freely passed about. Van- diver was supported in his criticisms by | Wheeler of Kentucky, while vehement de- fenses of the American soldiers were made by Hepburn of Jowa, Grow of Pennsylva- | ria, Hill of Connecticyt, W. A. Smith of | Michigan and Lessler of New York. 4 General debate on the naval bill closed at 4 o'clock, and when the House ad- Journed the measure was belng read for amendment.

PHILADELPHIA, May 15.—By order of | the United States Court of Eastern Penn- | sylvania James M. Beck, speclal Master Commissioner, to-day sold at public auc- tion 9050 shares of the 10,000 shares of the Philadelphia Record Publishing Company, par value $100. Willlam §. Stenger of Philacelphia bought the stock for $2,300,- Stenger is an attorney and was Sec- retary of the Commonwealth during Gov- ernor Pattison’s first term. Stenger also bought $470,000 of the issue of $500,000 6 per cent bonds of the Record Company, paying $654,000 therefor. ‘When asked whom he represented in the transaction Stenger smilingly an- swered “myself” and declined to say any- thing further. There was a large attendance at the sale, newspaper owners from other cities | belng among: those present. Wesley M. | Oler of the Baltimore Herald was Sten- | ger'’s_principal competitor. His last bid was $2,265.000, and' the stock was knocked down to Btenger at his bid of $2,300,000. | @ i @ views In the matter, the decision was | reached to have the warrants sworn out in Montreal and served on Messrs. Gay- nor and Greene in Quebec, thus bringing theé question of holding them for extradi- | tion before the Montreal authorities. The expectation here is that when ar- raigned by . the Montreal authorities, Messrs. Gaynor and Greene will endeavor to secure thelr release by habeas corpus proceedings. Any efforts in that line will employed a well-known firm of attorneys of Montreal to_ assist him in whatever proceedings are had.

S. EBarnes of San Francisco, will recelve $1000 in payment for the damage done her affections through the neglect of Clyde Shropshire to marry her as he promised. A compromise was renche’ between the adjournment of court yesterday afternoon and the reopening of the hearing to-day, by ‘which the case was dismissed on the pay- ment of $1000 by the defendant, the former Vice Consul General at Paris. Mrs. Barnes was thus prevented from telling on the witness stand all she knew and thought about Shropshire, but this even- ing she said a few things in an interview:. She told about the love that sprang up in her heart after she became separated from Barnes and left San Francisco, and how her affections centered wupon the handsome, dashing Shropshire, whoni she met in Paris. Her whole life became wrapped in him, she sald, and then he jilt- ed her for another woman. That filled her heart with bitterness and a thirst for venegeance. Said she: I had hoped that he would have the man- and the common sense to realize that he oould not take the six best years of my life, and then leave me with my jewels pawned in London and money unpaid which was borrowed disgrace. He often told me and wrote me that I had done more for him than his own flesh would do that for any man she did not expect to call her husband?

NEW YORK, May 15.—Dr. Henry Van Dyke, professor of literature at Prince- ton University, was late this afternoon elected moderator of the General Assem- bly of the Presbyterian Chureh, which body began its deliberations here to-day. He was elected on the second ballot. After the result was announced the re- tiring moderator, Dr. Henry C. Minton, moved that Dr. Van Dyke's election be made unanimous, and this was, done. Amidst cheers Dr. Van Dyke was escorted to the moderator’s chair, and as he took it Dr. Minton said: My brother, it becomes my duty to inform you of your election to the office of moderator Of this General Assembly and present you with this book of law and order. I trust that God may spare you to us all, and that he may grant you his blessing in the work before you.

ROME, May 15.—There are persistent reports at the Vatican that Bishop Charles McDonnell of Brooklyn, N. Y., is likely to be the successor of the late Archbishop Corrigan of the archdiocese of New York. Nothing, however, has been decided pending the reception of the names of the three candidates whom the clergy of the archdiocese will select and from which the Archbishop will be chosen. A high authority at the Vatican sald that it seemed as though Bishop McDonnell could have the appointment for the asking. s L e are expected to be fully as good as last year, while there will be a much larger quantity of fruit.

This is due to the | fact that there was no frost in the early spring, such ag hurt the crop of last year. Peaches, npr?éota, prunes and nectarines are ead of last year’s crop, and the canneries will be kept busier longer this year than for many seasons past. The only crop that so far gives indica- -tions of being lighter than last year's is the pear crop. This is on account of the Eur blight, which has been prevailing ere to a great extent lately and has ruined a large portion of the crop.

Occasionally a woman issed from the Minister’s room in tears after learning the fate of some loved one. The opposition is beginning to use the cataclysm as a club to beat the Gov- ernment. The Nationalist Patrie says: ‘““We hoped that the fetes at Brest would have been countermanded on account of the catastrophe, over which foreign sov- ereigns, courts and parliaments are mourning more than our own authorities. The flags are half-masted, but the mili- tary bands are playing as if 30,000 French- men had not perished.” An American who has resided here for a long time said: “The Parisians are con- stitutionally unable to become deeply in- terested in anything not connected with the capital. Have you not noticed that the apers are giving more space to the Hum- ert case than to the terrible loss of life at Martinique, while early this week they devoted pages to the death of Severos, the aeronaut, and only two columns to the West_Indian catastrophe?” BREST, France, May 15.—The French cruisers Bruix and Sureouf have been or- dered to sail Saturday and Sunday re- spectively with supplies for the inhabi- tants of the island of Martiniqué.
