ANARCHY HIS THEME
Senator McComas Spoke on
Its Dangerous Spread.
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

The Executive Seimlon.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. The Senate to
day received from the President the trea
ties renewing the reciprocity agreements,
and In executive session referred them
to the committee on foreign relation.
The principal ones are with Great Britain,
and cover the British West Indies. The

Guatemala also were received by the Sen
ate, and were referred without debate.
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,

is a full-fledged territory of the United

Statue Admitted Free.
NEW YORK, Dec 5--The Board of Clas
sification of the United States General
Appraisers has Just announced a decision
regarding a statue representing the im
maculate conception, which was Imported
from Italy and presented to the Cathedral
of Baltimore. The statue, which was In
voiced at 35W lire, was consigned to the
Rev. C. G. Thomas, but It was the girt
of the Misses Andrews to the cathedral.
The statue Is of Carrara marble, and Is
about 5 feet 6 inches In height.
The board. In an opinion by Colonel
TIchencr, holds that tho statue Is tho
work of a professional sculptor and that
It was expressly Imported for presenta
tion to a religious corporation. It there
fore is exempt from duty. The decision
of the collector at Baltimore Is reversed.
A decision was also rendered with refer
ence to a group In marble by the sculp
tor Marqufst. of Paris, entitled "Mater
nity," invoiced at 10,000 francs, which was
purchased by Henry Phlpps for presenta
tion to the Phlpps Conservatory at Pitts

of 50 per cent will therefore not be levied.

WASHINGTON, Dec 5. 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

as an invasion of the prerogatives of the
House. Overstrcet of Indiana and quite a

volves no Invasion of the House rights,
as It extends an existing law to the Phil

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.

, 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

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.

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 question of the Sultan of Sulu ana

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

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

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.

Court In Washington Parish, the scene
