WOULD EXCLUDE THE CLASS Poorer of ConcreK to Deal With the Subject Hoar Suggested a Penal Colony Other easiness of the ScBate. "WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. McComas, of Maryland, made an extended and care fully prepared speech in the Senate to day with anarchy as his theme and -was followed by some brief remarks by Hoar on the difficulties in the way of dealing with anarchical associations. The Senate passed a bill extending the life of the industrial commission until February 15, next, to complete the work It now has In hand. The committee which will con sider an appropriate tribute to the late President McKiniey was also appointed. The Senate adjourned until next Monday. The announcement that McComas would Inaugurate the discussion on the suppression of anarchy and anarchists filled the galleries with a goodly number of spectators. Before the routine busi ness was taken up. Halo secured the adoption of a resolution that when the Senate adjourn today it be until next Monday. The heavy Influx of petitions, bills, etc, continued, much time being taken in their formal reception. McComas was then recognized In sup port of his bill introduced yesterday pro viding the death penalty for assaults upon the President, or for inciting, ad vising or procuring such assaults. The Senator spoke of the dangerous spread of anarchy; President Carnot, Prime Min ister Ca novas, the Empress of Austria, Kins Humbert and President McKiniey having been foully assassinated by an archists within the last seven years. It was humiliating, he said, to consider the Jmpotency of our Federal laws to punish this fearful crime. The Senator spoke of the revolutionary propaganda under the guiding hand of Hcrr Most and the Nihilist Hartmann, and the formation hlnce 1SS1 of anarchist groups. Congress must now legislate against this peril with courage, firmness, conservatism and prudence. The Constitutional power of Congress to deal with the subject was discussed at length and supported by numerous references to the Supreme Court decisions. In the course of his speech the Senator argued that interna tional comity called for action on our part to suppress the origin of plots in thls country against foreign rulers. He said: "We should enact laws to expel and exclude alien anarchists. We shall, at this session, with unanimity re-enact the Chinese exclusion act. I will cheerfully vote to exclude the hordes of China and prevent the competition of Chinese cheap labor. Far more readily will I vote to exclude alien anarchists here now. We have naturalized and native anarchists in our midst. With these we must con tend in other fashions. Why should we rot, as we may, expel alien anarchists for cause?" The Senator also urged numerous amendments of the immigration laws vlth a view to excluding anarchists. In conclusion he said: "At all times the body of the plain people whom Lincoln loved and upon whom McKiniey leaned arc its unfailing defenders. This great people, facing the hideous point of anarchism, taught by their sorrow to think straight and see clear, now rate more highly than ever the value of their government. More than ever before are now revealed to them Its blessings, Its glory and lt3 power." At the conclusion of McComas' remarks Hor,- spoke briefly along the same lines. He said that while he heartily agreed with much that had been said, yet the great difficulty In all these cases of assas sination was that the assassin was willing and anxious to give up his life. Fear of death did not In any way deter the as.as n. Such was the case with the assassin of William of Orange, who welcomed the torture Inflicted upon him. Every assas sin of a foreign ruler had expected early and certain death. The multiplication of punishments for the act Itself, therefore, would accomplish little. Much good might be accomplished in limiting the circulation of fanatical doctrines. But "he Senator believed that a much more ef fective remedy could be secured If, by cemmen consent of all civilized nations, some tract of land somewhere upon the earth's surface, hemmed in from the outer world, could be set aside for the confine ment of those who counselled the killing of rulers or the overthrow of govern ments "Let the anarchists have an object-lesson," the Senator said, "and let the world have an object-les.on. Let there be a little circulation of anarchy Into the an archist himself, and lot him have an an archistic government among his follow ers." Hoar said banishment would be a proper punishment under the Constitution, and if fll nations would agree that every such person be sent to a spot where there was no government, it would be an effective icmedy. Certainly the anarchist could not complain, for. In being transported to a place of no government, he would have realized his Eutopla. McComas' resolution was then laid aside for discussion later. The presiding officer announced the fol lowing Senators as the committee to act with the committee from the House to eon3lder by what token of respect Con W A Royal Holiday Display W do this year. VARIETY is simply gress may express Its deep sensibility at the death of the late President McKiniey: Foraker, Allison.

The principal ones are with Great Britain, and cover the British West Indies.

The Senate spent some time during the executive session discussing the question of the proner committee reference of the nomination of Eugene R. Henry, to be Marshal for the Territory of Hawaii. The nomination at first was referred to the committee on Porto Rico and Pacific Islands, of which Foraker is chairman, but Bacon raised the point that Hawaii is a full-fledged territory of the United States, and that, therefore, the nomina tion should go to the committee on terri tories Foraker, Teller, Spooner and Ba con engaged In the controversy which followed, and the question was ultimately, upon the suggestion of Spooner. referred to the committee on rules, for the formu lation of a rule governing the subject, tho reference meantime being held up.

Some members of the House of Representatives are show ing opposition to the originating of Phil ippine revenue legislation In the Senate, and In particular to Senator Lodge's bill j which deals with this subject. Tawney of i Minnesota holds that the constitutional provision that "all bills for raising reve nue shall originate In the House of Rep resentatives" applies to Philippine meas ures, and he will oppose any Senate bill as an invasion of the prerogatives of the House. Overstrcet of Indiana and quite a nurnhpr nf nthor Influential moTnnori main. j tain that the Senate Philippine bill In volves no Invasion of the House rights, as It extends an existing law to the Phil ippines, and Is not a revenue measure within the meaning of the Constitution. In any event, the question of the right of the House on the subject Is likely to be discussed on the floor of the House. Tax on Ship Tonnage. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. Mr. Chamber- , lain, the Commissioner of Navigation. nas issued a circular in wmen collectors of Customs throughout the United States are directed to exempt vessels from the Philippines arriving In this country of tonnage tax levied under authority of thi act of 1SSG.

This action Is taken under the authority of the re pent decisions of the Supreme Court In the Philippine cases. SAYS AGUINALDO IS HARMLESS. Congrretisnmn "WecUx Believe He Should Be Set Free. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 5. Congress man Edgar Weeks, of Michigan, who ar rived from Manila on the transport Han- j cock, when asked about conditions In the Philippines, said: "I saw Agulnaldo and spent half a day with him. He is not an Intelligent man, and 1 think feels that he Is interior in intellect to the Americans. He seemed to me not clever, but cunning. Ihe general opinion among the military men Is that Agulnaldo should be allowed to escape. i i He Is a dead Issue and Is no longer a men- t ace to the United States. It Is supposed mat ne uoes not want to run away, as he would at once he assassinated by the friends of General Luna, whom he or dered to be killed. "The new method of educating the na tives as adopted by this Government Is wrong. Refined, handsome young ladles from Vassar and other colleges went, down to the Philippines to educate these natives. They have had to put up with all kinds of privations and to eat native food, and in some places their lives have been in danger. I think this Is entirely unnecessary. In place of these young ladles discharged soldiers of education, who had become acclimated, should be appointed and the young ladles should be sent home.

The Financier today says: "A combine Is being effected among tho tobacco-growers of the Philippine Islands, with a capital of between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000. The scheme Is being carried on In London under the auspices of the Roth schilds, who through their Spanish Invest ments have large Interests In the Philip pines. The contracts and concessions were obtained through some of the Amer ican peace delegates, who In typically Yankee fashion have managed to combine private and official business." The name of a prominent American Commissioner Is being freely bandied about London, but without any apparent justification. The chief -promoting. It Is said, Is being done In New York, though the names of the persons doing It are not announced. Philippine Ports Closed. MANILA, Dec. 5. General Chaffee has issued orders fcr the closing of all port3 in the Laguna and Batangas Provinces. The Quartermasters there will cease pay ing rents to the Filipinos for buildings used for military purposes, as it Is known that a large proportion of the money finds Its way to the Insurgents in the shape of contributions, and General Chaf fee intends that no more Government funds shall find their way Into the hands of the enemy. The reason for closing tha ports Is that too many supplies are getting Into the possession of the Insur gents. General Chaffee intends giving General Bell, commanding the troops In the Batangas Province, every assistances he may require to subdue the Insurrec tion. Governor Taft is Improving rapidly, and now expects to return to the United States on tho Government transport Grant, which will sail before Christmas. Berlin Reports Unfounded. WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.

Mayor Moores today Intimated that the present Board of Fire and Police of this city, appointed by him self and the City Council, would not ac cept the decision of the Supreme Court yesterday by which the Governor will In the future appoint the members of the board. The Mayor said emphatically that the present board would not relinquish of fice without a fight. He said they would take advantage of the 40 days allowed In which to file a motion for a rehearing. "If the final decision is against U6." declared the Mayor, "we still have the ofllces, and the new board will have to bring quo warranto proceedings to get us out. We shall fight the case to the extreme limit."

The Board of Fire and Po lice Commissioners met at noon today and suspended him again, and set Thursday for his hearing. Mm. Bonlne's Trial. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.
