As the reading of the bill proceeded Morgan suggested vari- ous amendments, | were accepted. bill had been about half completed, it was laid aside, and after passing 219 pension bills the Senate, at 5 p. m., ad- journed. a bill amending the law relating to the Philippine Islands. The provision in reference to the granting of railroad | franchises and the guaranteeing of 5 per cent on the cash capital actually invested in such railroads was opposed | by Jones of Virginia, who alleged that | British and Belgian capitalists were ready to build the roads without such guarantee. Jones in opposing certain features of the bill said that if it was passed as | now drawn it would increase the bond- ed indebtedness of the Philippines by | $6,000,000, making a total of $27,000,000. He said that as the result of the fall- | tng off in the customs receipts of the islands the people were less able to-day to incur such indebtedness than they were a year ago. He denfed, as Cooper claimed, that the only way to secure prosperity in the Philippines was to guarantee the interest on capital in- | vested in railroads there, and said that the bill was not ome prepared by the | committee, but was the bill of the War Department sent to Congress to be re- ported. He would rather, he said. see the railroads in the Philippines bnilt by British than by American capital if the Filipinos were to guarantee the in- terest. . Jones was interrupted by Gaines of Tennessee, who asked if it were not a fact that ex-Secretary of War Root | was the attorney for the railroad com- ny to be benefited by the guarantee. “It did not,”” replied Jones, ‘“‘concern him who was the attorney, but it was a fact that the Philippine Commission was urged to grant railroad franchises to English and Belgian cap- ! italists_without the guarantee.
