WASHINGTON'. Fob. 3.-Anothcr spir
ited debate, with the Philippine tariff
bill as the text, was precipitated in the
Senate today as the result of some state
ments made by Carmack. in the course of
an extended speech on the general Philippine-
question. It was the Tennessee Sen
ator's first speech in the Senate, and he
was given notably good attention on
both sides of the chamber. He spoke
without manuscript, with earnestness,
force and eloquence. At the conclusion
of his address, which was listened to by
many of his former colleagues In the
House of Representatives, Beveridge
challenged some of his statements. The
debate which ensued was very lively for
a few minutes, taking on a political phase
which proved particularly interesting to
the auditors who crowded the floor as
well as the galleries.
The measure providing for an increase
In the salaries of United States judges
was under discussion for an hour. In
the course of debate, the case of Judge
Arthur JL jsoyes. of the District Court
of Alaska, was drawn upon to show why
some judges should not be given the in
crease. Proceedings In Detail.
Soon after the Senate convened. Hale
reported tho urgent deficiency bill, and
gave notice that he would call it up
for consideration tomorrow.
At the conclusion of routine business,
Culberson inquired whether a reply had
been received from the Secretary of
War to his resolution passed 10 days ago.
calling for certain correspondence relat
ing to the Philippine tariff. When In
formed that no reply had been received,
he declared that in view of the fact that
the question was under discussion in the
Senate, the delay was "unseemly."
Consideration of the bill to increase
the salaries of the judges of the United
States Courts was then resumed. The
pending amendment was that offered by
Stewart increasing the salaries of Sena
tors and members of the House of Repre
sentatives to $7500 annually, beginning on
March 4. HW3. After brief discussion the
amendment was rejected. 15 to 44. The

To Increase Salaries of .1 riders.
An amendment was then offered by
Foraktr extending the propood increase
of tho salaries ef Circuit Court Judges
to the Circuit Judge of Porto Rico.
Clark, of Wyoming, moved to amend
th amendment by extending the pro
posed increase in stlary to the District
Judge of Hawi'h. Tillman inquired of
Fornker whether Porto Rico was in the
United States or not. and a rather sharp
controversy ensued. ForaKer finally s-aid
he world contMit himself now with say
ing simply th.:J Porto Rico belongs to
the United Statxs. "The relation of the
island to the United States." he said,
"has boon established by Congress and
approved by the United States Supreme
Court."
Teller unreel thnt if the galaries of the
judges in Porto Rieo and Hawaii were
t bo 'ncrcaM'd tho.se of flu judges of the
tcnltor'es also .should be- increased. Con
h.i'cr.iK opposition was developed to the
r.mt ndnient and Forakrr withdrew it
ralliT than jeopardize the bill. Clark,
ef V.'yotning. insisted upon his amend
ment and le-e'fi'ered It at once.
Tin amendment was laid on the table
w.thout d!lMon. Bute made an argu
ment against the Mil.
Tlllmr.ii llii's It to rv'o.vcs.
Tik'ng advantage of the latitude of de-1-
te fferod by tho Senate rules, Tillman
erected attention to an article in the
Washington Post, published today, rela-
t-i the ase of Judge Arthur H. Noycs.
ef the Disfk-t Court of Alaska, who was
lit i d H recently by the Circuit Court
M San rraneiseo, and of associates of
Jjdge Noyes-. vho were involved with him.
Til'maa read the article, which indicated
tl at Judge Xoyos and his associates are
rawing large- salaries from the United
State-- while the case against them is
pending in the courts. One of the men,
aceoru.ng to the article, who Is serving
Ws sci.tunce. continues to draw salary.
Tillman made running coir-nents upon
the statements in the article, directing
nil his surcasn, ridicule and invective
against Judge Noyes. finally inquiring:
"By the wh. whose business is it to re
move this man?"
Fornker believed it might require im
peachment proceedings to remove' Judge
Noyes, but Teller contended that the
President had ample power to remove a
territorial Judge. He believed there was
no question about that. He declared the
actions of Judge Noyes had been a "cry
ing sname." and asserted that "a recital
of hfcs outrages would startle the. American
people "
Philippine Tariff Bill Taken Up.
At 2 o'clock the Philippine tariff bill
was laid before the Senate, and Carmack,
a member of the Philippine committee, de
livered a speech In opposition to the pend
ing measure. He contended that Con
gress was not prepared to deal under
rtandir.gly with the Philippine situation
in any of Its phases, because it was not
familiar with the farts. The bill, he said,
had been framed by the Philippine Com
mission, an autocratic body, 10.000 miles
away, and not a change had been made
In It by Congress.
"This bill," said Carmack. "Is framed
on the theory that the Philippine Islands
are a deadly menace to our own trade,
and the les.s we trade with those islands
and the less we have to do with them the
better It will, be for us. The only trade
that will flourish under such conditions is
that of the exploiters, and it is proposed
to turn the Islands over to them. Jt Is for
the benefit of the carpet-baggers and not
for the benefit of the American people
that a war of criminal aggression is being
waged in the Philippine Islands. We. of
the minority, cannot support this bill or
tho policy of which it is a part."
He next discussed briefly the subject of
the censorship of press dispatches in Ma
nila. He declared it was not a censor
fchip for military purposes, but had been
"established by. for and in the Interest of
the Republican party." Important infor
mation had been suppressed by the censor,
he declared, and the people of this coun
try had been kept in Ignorance of the
matte is to a knowledge of which they
were entitled. Referring to the Repub
lican supporters f the present Philippine
policy, Carmack said:
"You lift your hands in holy horror at
the lynching of a colored man In the
....... , . I
coum. ana yet you are cngageu in lyncn- i
ing 10.000,000 peoplo who recently were 1
your allies and your brothers In arms,
and wno have co-rrrmltted no crime, except
the crime upon which this Government
was founded."
C!inrnre ArcntnMt Hcvrey.
With great earnestness he declared that
if the President of the United States had
properly characterized Aguinaldo and his
associates as bloodthirsty persons, then
Admiral Dewey and those who secured
Agulnaldo's help and assistance could not
escape the charge of deliberately violating
the iaws of civilized warfare, and he
hoped the charge against Admiral Dewey
would Iks Investigated. "From the be
ginning." said Carmack. "we know that
Aguinaldo was fighting not for a change
of masters, but for absolute freedom, and
General Anderson had assured Aguinaldo
the American people never had established
colonies, and that he could trust in the
honor of the American people. "These
facts." he said, "constitute a binding ob
ligation upen us to give them their Inde
pendence." He would, he said, haul down the Ameri
can flag wherever it waved as an emblem,
of force and despotism. He charged thut
the United States had been holding a
false, fraudulent and delusive hois; to the
Filipinos, and that we were killing these
people for the salvation of their souLs and
building up the church of God out of hu
man bones. Carmack maintained that by
following out the policy of conquest form
ulated by the majority in power, the
United States was pressing itself into all
the bickerings and quarrels of the world.
Under such a policy no ieace was in view
for this Government.
At the conclusion of Carmack's speech
Beveridge, a Republican member of the
Philippine committee, sharply challenged
a statement by the Tennessee Senator that
the Philippine tariff had not been well or
carefully considered. As a matter of fact,
he said, the tariff scale was fixed after
months of consideration, and after con
sulting every Interest in the Philippines.
"Did the Philippine committee make an
Investigation of the Philippine tariff
scale?" Inquired Carmack.
"No." replied Beveridge. "but the Philip
pine committee has been considering the
fccale for two years."
Beveridge ILaps Democrats.
Beveridge declared that If the Demo
cratic party had given to its last tariff
bill the same care which had been given
the Philippine tariff scale, this country's
prosperity would not have withered as it
had under the tariff it had enacted. Fur
ther aleig Beveridge declared that the
reason why ex-President Cleveland. ex
President Harrison and ex-Senator Edmund."-,
all of whom had not been In sym
pathy with the Philippine policy of the
Administration, declined to follow! the
Democratic party was because that party
would not accept tho decision of the Su
preme Court and the verdict of the Ameri
can people as final. Ho asserted that
the reason why the "moderate, thoughtful
and constructive people of the country"
had not followed the Democratic party in
Its opposition to the proper control of tho
Philippines, and in other matters of Na
tional policy, was that they feared that
party would "sow the dragon's teeth, from
which would spring a harvest of anarchy."
Another reason, he said, was that that
party was sounding a note of retreat, and
"never in the history of the country had
the American people retreated from any
proposition fairly presented to them, and
they never would."
As he was proceeding to discuss some of
the conditions in the Philippine Islands,
Tillman interrupted with the inquiry:
"Will the Senator be explicit and give us
the benefit of his personal observation, or
any of the Information he has in regard
to the dispatch from General Bell that he
proposes to make Avar so terrible that they
would want peace and want it bad? Is
that true, or is it not?"
"That was not done while I was there,"
replied Beveridge, "I will ask the Sen
ator whether, when he Is making war he
would not make war so terrible that the
enemy would want peace?"
"That would depend." said Tillman,
"whether I honestly was engaged in a
war thnt I thought was decent and re
spectable or one of subjugation and in
famy." "And does the Senator charge." demand
ed Beveridge, "that General Bell does not
believe he ;s engaged in an honest war?"
OHIccrM Ashamed, of It.
"I know that there arc plenty of officers
there who feel that they arc doing dirty
tvork," shouted Tillman, "and they have
told me they aro ashamed of it,"
"Has General Bell told you so?" insist
ed Beberidge.
"I don't know about General Bell, 'said
Tillman. "I have not seen hhn."
"Then why do you drag in General Bell,
General Whcaton and others?" sharply
inquired Beveridge.
"1 will drag Into this discussion an As
sociated Press representative from Ma
nila." replied Tillman.
"Now it is an Associated Press man,"
said Beveridge.
""Then you either have a censorship there
or you have not. You swear you have
pot, and then when the reports come, you
say 'those are not ours, " retorted 1 1ll
man. "It is hopeless." replied Beveridge,
When we begin to discuss the Constitution
and we take them up on that, they come
to censorship. When wc say that none
exists, then they go to war, bloodshed,
pillage and murder."
After tome sharp colloquy in which the
Indiana and South Carolina Senators ridi
culed each other, Beveridge proceeded to
relate an Incident of the burninr of a
village, and said that upon Investigation
it was found to be the act of the Insur
gents, his purpose being to disprove some
reports against the American soldiers.
Tillman was on his feet again and asked
Beveridge:
"From whom elo we get, the statements
that the insurgents, or rebels, or whatever
they are, did all this burning?"
"The 'American authorities," replied
Beveridge.
"And in It customary," inquired Till
man, "to determine a case from ex parte
statements?"
"Why does the Senator always- insist,"
retorted Beveridge, "that any authority
which comes fiom an American source is
a falsehood, while everything that comes
from the enemy is the truth?"
"For the same reason," replied the
South Carolina Senator, "that in my own
state, when Its capital was burned in 1SC5
there was an infamous assertion that we
burned it, when everybody knew we did
not so do."
"Now. Mr. President," said Beveridge,
laughing, "we are back again on ancient
history, which I decline to discuss."
Allison, a member of the Philippines
committee, said so far as he was con
cerned he had given the Philippine tariff
the most careful consideration of which
he waa capable. He had gone over the
schedules thoroughly, and wats satisfied
the scale was as good, perhaps, as could
be devtead. After some incidental discus
sion by Fornker, Teller and Carmack, the
Senate at 4:45 went into executive ses
sion, and a few minutes later adjourned.

WALTER D. MANSFIELD, OF SAN FRANCISCO, WHO WILL CON
DUCT PORTLAND TOURNAMENT.
The Oregon Fish and Gimo Association, through J. N. Teal, president, wjll
extend an Invitation to Walter D. Mansfield, o San Franclrco, charnplon fly
caster of the world, to conduct a fly-casting tournament In Portland. The sport
is popular among anglers, and it is desired to get the local men Interested, so
as to hold a world championship meet In Portland in lOOo.
Out at picturesque Stow Lake, In Golden Gate Park, the gentlemen of San
Francisco Flycastlng Club meet twlc a month to lndulgo In the gentle pastime
of flycastlng. They are all ardent anglers, and know the secrets of every trout
stream throuchout Northern California. The club was organized about the time
of the Midwinter Fair, and has thrived beyond all expectation. The club mem
bers have developed flycastlng to such an extent that they lead all tho world in
the art. "Walter D. Mansfield holds the world's record for distance, having cast
a tiny fly 133 feet. The greatest cast of the Eastern experts is about 120 feet,
which distance many men here have exceeded. A npeclal gear Is U5d. the line

convened, was sworn in, and Payne, from
the committee on ways and means, re
ported the bill to repeal the war revenue
taxes. The opponents of the oleomarga
rine bill resisted the motion to go into
committee of tho whole to consider it, and
raised the point of no quorum. A motion
to adjourn was lost, and another motion to
go into committee of the whole was car
ried, 175 to 73. Henry (Rep. Conn.), In
charge of the measure, made the opening
presentation in its behalf, following
closely the -arguments of the committee
which reported the bill. The purpose of
the bill, he said, was to make the sale of
oleomargarine, colored in imitation of but
ter, unprofitable by Imposing a tax of 12
cents per pound. fIt would not, however,
Interfere with the sale of the uncolored
product, on which the -bill proposes to re
tluce the tax to one-fourth of a cent per
pound. That the country was behind the
proposed legislation, he argued, was
proven by the fact that 32 statC6. with
four-fifths of the population of the United
States, absolutely forbid the manufacture
of oleomargarine colored to resemble but
ter. The bill was only aimed at the fraud
ulent product. The new section of the
bill, making any person who sells or fur
ntshes oleomargarine for the use or con
sumption of others, a manufacturer within
the meaning of the act, was. he said. In
tended to prevent unscrupulous dealers,
hotel proprietors, restaurants and boarding-house
keepers from coloring the man

Clayton (Dem. Ala.) closed the debate
for the day with a speech against the
bill.

URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL.
No Appropriation Needed for Repre
sentatives at Coronation.
WASHINGTON. Teb. 3. In response to
Inquiries, the State Department today no
tified the Senate committee on appropria
tions that the department would be able
to make provision for the expenses of the
reprec-niativcr of this country in Eng
land incident to the coronation of King
Edward VII from its resources, and that,
therefore, no special appropriation would
be necessary for that purpose. TIiq com
mittee, therefore, did not make provision
in the urgency deficiency bill as reported
to the Senate today for this item of ex
pense, as it had agreed on Saturday last
to do. The committee also decided that
the provision in the bill as it came
from the House for an appropriation or
$10,000 to be used by the President in
meeting these emergencies would be suf
ficient to cover the expense of the Gov
ernment in connection with the approach
ing visit of Prince Henry, and no specific
appropriation was made on that account.
The net increase of appropriations rec
oir.mended by the Senate committee on
this bill is ?3,163.1&0, bringing its total up
to 520.234.C20. The principal Items of In
crease are the following:
Payment of Mexico on account of
the La Abra and Well claims $142,372
Payment of rebate on tobacco 100,00)
Reimbursement of Philippine insu
lar fund for gunboats turned over
to the Navy 20S.S19
Purchase of coal for the Navy 800.000
Equipment of naval vessels 450,000
Refunding to slates money expended in
the Civil war
Maine 131.513
Pennsylvania GS3.14G
New Hampshire 10S.37
Rhode Island 124.617
The appropriation of jr.C0.0CK) for the shel
ter of troops in the Philippine Islands i3
retained, but the wording of the provision
Is changed to read as follows:
"For the establishment in the vicinity of
Manila, P. I., of a military post, including
the construction of barracks, quarters for
officers, storehouses, hospitals and other
buildings, as well as water supply, light
ing, sewerage and drainage necessary for
the accommodation of a garrison of two
full regiments of infantry, two squadrons
of cavalry, and two batteries of artillery,
to be available until expended."
The committee also struck out the House
provision limiting the number of lahu
ofilces in Alaska to one. and reduced the
appropriation made by the House bill for
experimental rural free delivery service
from J191.0I0 to J217.SC0.
THE DEATH ROLL.
Hero of the Crimean "War.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3. James Reid, a
British veteran whose patriotism here and
on the battle-field of Balaklava has won
him two medals, is dead in this city from
asphyxiation. The old soldier on retiring
had turned the stopcock of a gas heater
in the wrong direction, and when he was
found in his little three-room flat the gas
fumes had done what the bullets of the
Crimea had failed to do.
Mr. Reid, who was in his 73d year, kept
a small cigar and stationery store.
He was born in Edlnburg, Scotland. When
he was 20 years of age-, his father, who
had distinguished himself in the battle of
Waterloo, moved to Australia. James
preferred to follow a soldier's life, as ills
father had done, and he enlisted in the
British Army. During the Crimean trou
ble he rose to the rank of Quartermaster
Sergeant In his troop, the Royal Horse
Artillery. This rank he won by personal
gallantry in action, and he had two med
als to attest tho fact. Asain he dis
tinguished himself during the cholera
outbreak in tho army and won special
honorable mention for his fearless and
devoted attention to duty in the stricken
camp. Sergeant Reid purchased his dis
charge from the army and came to Amer
ica in 1SC5.

GREAT GALE IS ABATING
MORE SHIPS DRIVEN' ASHORE
ALONG NEY JERSEY COAST.
Few Reports of Loss of Life Illiz-
r.nnl In Other Parts' of
the East.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3. The gale which
has been sweeping the coasts of Long Is
land and New Jersey for more than 21
hours, and Is continuing tonight, though
with abating force, has brought death
and disaster to sailors and their craft.
Reports of loss of life are confined to the
eastern end of Long Island, whence comes
news that several bodies have been
washed ashore. It was not known up to
10 o'clock tonight what vessels the men
who lost their lives came from. The-y
may have been cither on barges towed by
the tng Richmond, reported as passing
Block Island without tow. bound from
New York to Newport, R. I., or the tug
Cuba, which passed Block Island two
hours later and which left New London,
Conn., yesterday for Newport News and
was returning without tow.. When leav
ing port the Richmond had three barges,
and the Cuba two. Wreckage strews the
shore In the vicinity of the Bellport. L. I.,
llfesavmg station.
The crew cf the American merchant
man Schcpp. a fullrlggcd ship, which went
ashore on Long Beach. L. I., shoals early
this morning, was in peril all day. To
night they are still on the stranded ves
sel, though the danger of death has been
lessened, owing to the slight abatement or
the storm. A westerly gale was blowing
at the rate of 70 miles an hour when the
Schcpp struck at 3:30 o'clock in the morn
ing. The men from Captain Rhoades
lifcsaving station, a mile cast, dragged
their mortar to the scene of the wreck.
The Schcpp was about 1000 feet from
shore, and tossing heavily with every
thrust of the powerful breakers. Nearly
every spar in her was twisted or broken.
Several of the crew could be seen on deck
running to and fro In apparent efforts to
keep from freezing to death. The lire
savers of Captain Rhoades' station and
those of the Long Beach station, under
Captain Van Winklen. made attempts to
shoot the lifelines over the Schepp. but
the afternoon's efforts were not success
ful. .They then tried to launch the lire
boat, but this proved Impossible.
The crews of the seagoing tugs John E.
Berwind and E. S. Atwood had a very
narrow escape from going to the bottom
with their crew Sunday afternoon. Notlv
Ing was known of their plight until the
arrival of the German steamer Barcelona,
the crew of which rescued the tugmen.
The tugs had been delivering provisions
to the stranded steamer Cavour, ashore at
Long Bench, L. I., and were proceeding
back to this port when the gale struck
them. The waves swept off everything
movable, flooded their holds, and got into
the fireboxes. The seven men on each
tug were In imminent danger of death
for over two hours. The tugs were abso
lutely helpless and gradually sinking
when the Barcelona hove in sight and
took the half-frozen crews aboard. Within
half an hour after this the two tugs went
to the bottom.
In New Yorlc State.
The storms in the northern and western
parts of New York State have played
havoc with tho schedule of through trains
due to arrive at the Grand Central Sta
tion. Neither the Chicago Express nor
the Southwestern Limited, due at 6:30 this
evening, had arrived at a late hour to
night. Reports Indicate that tho storm
extends all over New York State, and is
one of the severest known for years. No
trains have left Oswego since Sunday
night, and, with the exception of two
trains from Syracuse, none have ar
rived. The storm still continues, with
the wind blowing 40 miles an. hour.
A heavy snow storm, which began Sun
day, still rages through the Hoosac Val
ley. Not a train from the West on the
New York Central Railroad has gone
through Troy, and only one from the East
has arrived. The traffic on freight lines
has been demoralized, and most of the
roads arc devoting their attention, to keep
ing passenger trains moving. All the pas
senger trains ar from one to 21 hours
late.
