AGUINALDO'S TJX CLE.
Appointed Governor of Bnlncan
Province.
GUGUINTO. Province of Bulacan. Feb.
27. Jose Seraplo, an uncle of Agulnaldo
and formerly an Insurgent Colonel, has
"been appointed Governor of Bulacan
Province. There were several candidates,
Including two Army officers, but the
"United States Commission was unanim
ously in favor of Seraplo. who surren
dered during General Lawton's progress
northward and who has since been such
a consistent friend of the United States
that Agulnaldo published an order de
grading his uncle. There were consider
able protests against Seraplo's appoint
ment, chiefly from a delegation which
represented the Interests of the friars.
The commission announced that It had
Investigated the allegations made against
Seraplo and found them to be untrue.
Captain Greenough. of the Flrty-flrst
Regiment, was appointed Treasurer, and
Lieutenant "Wells, of the Thirty-second
Regiment, was appointed Supervisor. The
other officials appointed were natives.
All the appointments practically were
made on General Grant's recommenda
tions. Although by reputation Bulacan Is not
the easiest province to govern, all the
local leaders and mast of the Inhabit
ants are now friendly to the United
States. The question of the selection of
a capital for the province was submitted
to the vote of the delegations. Malolos,
the former seat of the Insurgent con
gress, is the best town, but Bulacan has
always been the seat of the government
and was easily first. The ballot was the
first free voting in the Philippines, ex
cepting at the town elections held under
military orders. The delegates enjoyed It
Immensely. Judge Taft, in admonishing
the delegates, said that since they had
the reputation of being gamesters, they
muFt abide by the result and show their
capability of abiding by the suffrage.
During the course of his speech an
nouncing the appointments. Judge Taft
said nowhere had a military commander
shown such benevolent consideration for
th;e Interests of the people as had Gen
eral Grant. The appointment of a na
tive Governor indicated the commission's
confidence in the Tagals.
The concluding scene of the commis
sion's visit to the province was most dra
matic. General Grant presented to Seraplo
a flag which once belonged to General
Grant's father. The Filipinos received the
flag enthusiastically, and cheered General
Grant and the Commissioners.

INSURANCE OF NATIONS.
President SUurman on Our Policy in
the Orient.
NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-At the four
teenth annual dinner of the Life Under
writers' Association of New York last
night. President Jacob G. Schurman, of
Cornell University, spoke on "The ' In
surance of Nations." He said, in part:
"Some people believe that the more a
nation has the happier It Is. If their
logic is correct the nation that overruns
the world reaches the climax of human
perfection. What constitutes the soul of
a nation? What is Its goal? Do we
make the Republic greater if we cross the
Pacific and annex a piece of China? Do
we make the Nation safer and more se
cure? If not, what do we do? What in
sures our country. I believe, is a common
nationality, a common religion and com
mon interests. In spite of the steady
stream of Immigrants that has poured
Into the United States this Republic has
retained a common nationality and the
Interests of one part of the country are
the interests of another.
"We have not gone to China. I hope
we shall not. I expect that those- who
do will, in the course of a generation or
two, encounter an interesting Nemesis.
In partitioning China we do not divide
her people. They will remain homo
geneous and acquire mechanical arts, as
sert their Independence, and, I believe.
. acquire it. I believe this country acts
wisely In leaving China to the Chinese.
"I do not believe that this country by
he Annexation of the Philippines h"
increased its power or security. Sover
eignty Is not possession, but responsi
bility. We have annexed, not great ad
vantages, but grave responsibilities. I
believe that we are In the Philippine
for their sawe, not ours. Our mission
there may be regarded as educational."
r.Jrtftnt Schurman said he thought U
necessary to have a large Army in thj?
East In order to Impress the OrleDtal
mind.

MINERS HOURS OF WORK.
Bill to Reduce Them Before the
Honae of Common.
LONDON. Teb. 27. The House of Com
mons today, after a long debate, passed
the second reading of the bill restricting
the work of miners to eight hours dally,
by 212 to 199 votes. The bill is a private
measure. The opponents of the restric
tion of the hours of labor Insisted that
such action would enormously enhance
,the price of coal. Sir Alfred Hickman
(Conservative), said the country, during
the past year, had had an object lesson
of the effect on trade of dear coal. The
British Government had to buy brldces
in America for Uganda, Egypt and Bur
mah. The railroads bought rails In Am
erica, and even coal had to be Imported
Into this country. In the United States,
miners produced DO per cent more coal
than they did In England, not because
they were more skillful, but because they
worked 10 hours per day.
DlMordem at Oporto.
OPORTO, Feb. 27. At meetings of the

quest the Government to prosecute the
police who abused their authority respect

others afterwards paraded through sev
eral streets and gathered In front of the
residence of the Brazilian Consul, cheer
ing for liberty and denouncing the cler
icals. The mob stoned the Catholic As
sociation's building and made a demon
stration in front of the offices of the Lib
eral newspapers, shouting "Long live lib
erty." Power of Brazilian President.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. The new revc
nue law of Brazil, which went Into effect
the first of the year, greatly affects a
number of staples of Importance to Amer
ican producers. Important administrative
changes are also made In the existing law,
and Consul Furncss, at Bahla. has sup
plied these to the State Department. A
remarkable provision Is the extensive
power conferred upon the President. He
may do as he pleases with the government
railroads, leasing or selling them. He may
Impose differential tariffs to secure con
cessions for Brazilian produce. He Is also
authorized to Impose a special duty on
shipping to meet harbor Improvements, to
provide for the Inspection of insurance
companies, and to lease the Monazlte
Sands territory.

RESTLESS SIOUX.
Are Reported to Be in an TJsrly
Mood.
FORT YATES. N. D., Feb. 27. Reports
emanating from Omaha that the Sioux are
In an ugly mood are declared to be correct
by those who are in the confidence of the
Indians. There are those who have been
warned that the time of the outbreak
will be July 4, when thousands of Indians
assemble at the agencies to have sports.
The soldiers are usually away from the
posts at that time. The Indian Bureau is
partly responsible for this restless feeling
among the Sioux, who are anxious to get
a complete statement of the money due
them from the sale of lands ceded in the
18S9 treaty.
Colonel McLaughlin, who has more In
fluence with the Sioux than any other
white man living, has explained treaties
and other matters to them, and has prom
ised to take up some of their grievances
with the Commissioner. They are con
tent to leave the matter xn his hands for
the present. With the Kiowa Indians it
Is different, and there is a prospect of se
rious trouble If the department does not
take some notice of communications.

providing for the purchase of these trees

ate, but at this late day It seems improb
able that It will be brought before the
House. The committee has decided to
raise a fund by popular subscription for
the purchase of the trees.

BY A PARTY VOTE
(Continued from First Page.)
the interests of those "on the Inside."
He referred to the organization of the
Philippine Lumber & Development Com
pany, of which he said Representative
Hull, chairman of the military affairs
committee of the House, was president,
and Representative Dovener, of West Vlr
glnlat attorney. A son of Mr. Hull, he as
serted, even now was In the Philippines
looking after the interests of the com
pany. Pettigrew then read from what he said
were certified copies of correspondence
which had passed between Major H. O. S.
Helstand, of the Adjutant-General's De
partment of the Army, and Major E. W.
Hawkes, until recently an officer In the
volunteer service, relating to a company
which has been organized for the devel
opment of the hemp Industry in the Phil
ippines. The letters Indicated that this
company was endeavoring to secure con
trol of the hemp Industry In the Philip
pines, and that Major Helstand was using
his official position to advance the Inter
ests of the enterprise. Pettigrew contend
ed that no legitimate efforts were being
made to prepare the Philippines for civil
government, and he declared that the
barbarities practiced in the Philippines
by our forces had been equaled only by
those of the "civilized armies" at Pekln.
He could not comprehend how any Amer
ican Senator could look upon our acts as
acts of right. He thought the Filipinos
should be given their liberty and be al
lowed to establish their government un
der our guidance and direction.
"I hope," he said. In conclusion, "tha
this Administration will see the Infamy &f
its course and turn its back upon a pol
icy which has already covered It with
shame and disgrace."
Turner, continuing his speech of last
night, criticised the Spooner amendment
as a 'departure from the American sys
tenent, the first departure In the history of
the country. It vested, he contended, in
the President of the United States the
powers that belong to and are exercised
by the Czar of Russia.
"It is an extraordinary proposition," he
declared. "To my mind It is a monstrous
proposition, which no party ought to
countenance for a moment. We may well
tremble for this country if the proposition
of the Senator from Wisconsin be adopt
ed, for we will not only have a Czar In
the Philippines, but a Czar in the United
States, before it shall pass out of exist
ence. If I were a Filipino." Turner con
tinued vehemently, "I should never cease
to resist the attempt to impose the rule
of the United States Government upon
myself and upon my people, In the face of
so tyrannical a proposition as that In
volved In this amendment."
Denounced by Bncon.
Bacon said: "This amendment is the
most pernicious and objectionable form of
legislation which has been proposed since
I have had any connection with the
American Congress." Proceeding, he said
that he believed It the very worst legis
lation that had ever been attempted in
Congress. He considered it revolutionary,
and said that under no circumstances
would he vote for it or vote for a bill
containing such a provision. He would,
indeed, rather vote for 10 subsidy bills
than for this measure. He denounced as
"coercion" the putting upon an appropri
ation measure In the closing hours of a
session of such propositions as the Phil
ippine and Cuban amendments. They
wero clearly in violation of the rules of
the Senate, and every Senator, he said,
who voted to place the Philippine amend
ment upon the bill knew that it was "a
plain, distinct and undeniable violation of
the rule" The Georgia Senator admitted
that the amendment which had been
agreed to, placing restrictions upon the
sale of public lands and the granting c?
franchises, had destroyed practically the
opportunity "of plunderers and vultures,"
but he insisted that they, nevertheless,
were the power that had brought forward
the proposed legislation at this time.
Further along Bacon read an Associ
ated Press dispatch from Manila to show
that the Filipinos were far from being
"pacified," and that the conditions were
more serious in the islands than they
were represented as being by Government
officials.
Galllnger called Bacon's attention to a
statement of the late Consul Wildman
which contradicted the dispatch quoted.
Bacon responded that, with entire re
spect for the views of Mr. Wildman, he
would much prefer to accept the state
ment of the Associated Press representa
tive, who was In the islands, than to take
the word even of Mr. Wildman, who was
no nearer the Philippines than Hong
Kong.
Bacon, briefly discussing the -Cuban
amendment, declared he could not vote
for It. The Teller resolution, he said,
was not a matter of sentiment, but a
solemn asseveration of our duty, made
for our safety. The 'relations existing be
tween this Government and Cuba ought
to be guarded against any irritation that
might be created by any such amendment
as that proposed, which was an ulti
matum declaring that the Cuban people
were subject to the United States.
Jones (Ark.) said he would vote against
the Cuban amendment because it seemed
to reserve the right of the United States
to Intervene In Cuban affairs whenever
the Government does not suit the pur
poses of the United States. This was In
direct contradiction to our pledge to the
people of Cuba.
Hoar expressed the conviction that b
great chhange is going on In the minds of
the American people and of the Republic
an party as to the policy to be pursued In
the Philippines. "Our fathers did not
penetrate Into a position their children
cannot hold," he said, and he was sat
isfied that when the light should come
they would be found to adhere to the
great declaration of our Independence. In
view of this change of sentiment, he con
sidered it better to postpone further dis
cussion- in order that the change might
go on.
"Although," he said. "I am opposed to
the proposition contained In this amend
ment to commit to Ave men despotic
power over 12,000.000 of men, yet I bear In
mind that that power Is now and will be
for some time In the future exercised by
one man. I do not. therefore, think it
wise to bring on an extra session of Con
gress by what would In the end be un
availing opposition."
Hoar presented documents signed by
native Filipinos, which, he said, were con
vincing evidence that those people were
not savages. Hoar predicted that the
proposed legislation "would wipe out the
last hope tnat the example of the United
States Is to continue to work out its re
sult In the ideas of the downtrodden peo
ple of the world. You may," he declared,
In conclusion, "talk about benevolent as
similation and use other honeyed phrases,
but your act Is pure, simple, undiluted,
unchecked despotism."
Tillman, Lindsay and Culberson spoke
against the amendment. Mallory opposed
turning upon the Filipino people a hoard
of carpetbaggers from this country.
Money discussed particularly fhe Cuban
amendment, which he, as a member of
the committee on relations with Cuba,
assisted in preparing. He did not want
to leave the Island in the hands of the
United States forces until next Decem
ber. The time had come, he thought, for
action. Money said that he was violating
no great secret In saying that he had
consulted some of his Democratic col
leagues about the amendment before it
was reported, and every one of them had
approved it. They had changed their
minds now, but why he did not know. In
conclusion. Money stated briefly his ob
jections to the Philippine amendment and
his reasons for not supporting it.
A vote was then taken upon the amend
ment of Vest, providing that the action
of this Government or Its officials In the
Philippines shall be subject to the Consti
tution and laws of the United States so
far as they are applicable. The amend
ment was rejected, 25 to 45, as follows:
AYES.

Pettus offered an amendment providing
that every person in whom authority is

take an oath tr support the Constitution
of the United States. Rejected. 25 to 3L
Teller then otfoied an amendment pro
viding that tm civil government estab
lished In the Philippines should be so ex
ercised as to secure for the Inhabitants
there the fullest participation" consistent
with tho safety of the government. Re
jected. 23 to .15.
Teller then offered as an amendment a
provision of the- act establishing the Mis
souri territory in 1S12 and that all fines
shall be moderate, no post facto laws,
etc Teller said that as officials of the
Philippines were not to be required to
take an outh to support the Constitution
of the United States, and the Constitu
tion and laws were not to be applicable,
he offered the amendment to protect the
people of the Islands. It embodied pret
ty good Republican doctrine, said he, in
the days when It became a law. To pre
vent cruel treatment of the natives under
the powers of an autocratic government
violative of every principle of free govern
ment, he declared, the amendment should
be adopted. It was rejected. 23 to 41.
When the result was announced Teller
said it had been his intention to offer an
amendment to extend the Constitution
over the Islands, but the Senate had twice
negatfved that amendment, and he said
he would not bring the Constitution into
further contempt by offering his amend
ment. But, he said. Congress was about
to enact a law so contrary to anything
that had taken place In American history
that he felt constrained to read some ut
terances of our early history, which might
be treason now, but which were patriotism
then. Teller declared passionately that
he never expected to live Indeed, he re
gretted that he had lived to see the day
when the ordinary rights of citizens were
denied to the people living under the
American flag.
Allen followed. He declared that with
tho end of the session at hand, it was in
the power of those who opposed the
amendment to defeat the bill. If it be
came a law, they would not be able to es
cape responsibility. For himself, he was
willing to devote all his physical and men
tal energies to the struggle. But no one
man or half a dozen could successfully
make the fight. It would require tho
united co-operation of all. Tho Repbli
cans were now intoxicated with power,
but later they would regret this legisla
tion. He charged that hemp worth $26
a bale was confiscated in the Philippines
by the Army, put up at auction and sold
to Army officers for $5 a bale. These of
ficers In turn sold It for the market price.
After talking for over an hour, Allen con
cluded with the announcement that If tha
minority would co-operate with him he
would remain In his place until noon
March 4 to prevent the pending bill from
passage.
It looked as If the vote was about to be
taken, when the venerame Massachusetts
Senator, Hoar, arose. " There Is one
principle of constitutional liberty not yet
slain," said he, "and I shall give it a
chance tonight." He then offered an
amendment providing .that no official of
tho Philippines vested with executive
power should exercise official and judicial
power, and vice versa, etc, to the end
that the government might be one of laws,
not of men. The amendment was reject
ed, ayes 26, noes 43.
The Spooner Resolution.
At last the decisive moment had ar
rived. It was now 10:30 P. M. The Senate
haJ been in session continuously since 11
o'clock this morning. The vote was taken
on the amended Spooner resolution, which
was adopted, ayes 45, noes 27, as follows:

Piatt (Conn.) then offered the amend
ment prepared by the committee on rela
tions with Cuba.
Jones (Ark.) moved to strike out tho
third condition, providing that Cuba shall
agree that the United States shall exer
cise the right to intervene for the preser
vation of Cuban independence.
Hoar said he considered the entire Cu
ban amendment unwise. He was not
able to share In the apprehensions in
dulged In on the other side. It was de
signed lo enforce the Monroe doctrine.
The enly condition against which objec
tion could be raised was that regarding
sanitation and he thought it was only
proper that our country should be safe
guarded against yellow fever and other
epidemics which might originate In 'Cuba
under unsanitary conditions.
Jones replied that the Monroe doctrine
was not Involved In the third condition.
The right of the United States to Inter
vene in the internal affairs of the island
would be, he thought, tantamount to as
suming the right to overturn the gov
ernmen of Cuba whenever we saw fit on
one pretext or another. Jones, therefore,
modified his amendment so as to strike
out only that portion of the condition pro
viding that the United States could Inter
vene "for the maintenance of a govern
ment adequate for the protection of life,
property and Individual llDerty."
Pettus declared that the honor of the
country was at stake. Congress and the
President had pledged their word that the
Cuban people "were and of right ought to
be free and independent." The proposi
tion violated the pledge. It was to bo
the old law of "let him take who has
the power and let him keep who can."
It was a disgrace upon the American peo
ple Jones motion to amend the amendment
was. defeated, ayes, 21, noes 43.
"In order to save the Isle of Pines,
which belongs to us, without a row with
Cuba," observed Morgan, after the vote
