5 ear.
'During the remainder of the day's ses
sion, the urgent deficiency impropriation
bill was under consideration, the Philip

porarily. Hansbrough made a speech in
defon.o of Judge Arthur II. Noyes, of
the District Court of Aliska. and Alex
ander McKenzie. upon whom an attack
was mnde in the Senate yesterday. This
precipitated a long discussion of the
Noyes case, legal and technical, rather
than personal. No action could be tiken
on this subject, but the discussion will
be continued tomorrow, under the lati
tude allowed when appropriation bills are
pending.

"When those passages of the bill re

THE DAY IN THE HOPSE.
Debate nn the Olenntftrprnrinc 1II11
Continued.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. Debate on the
oleomargarine bili continued today In the
House, and the prospects are that a vote
will not be reached earlier than Thursday.
The opponents of the bill are making a
strong fight so far as the presentation of
argument I concerned. The speakers to
day were Tompkins (Dem. N. V.), Robb
(Dem. Mo.). Knapp (Rep. N. Y.), Bntcs
(Rep. Pa.). Davldcon (Rep. Wis.). Dris-.
coll (Rep. N. Y.). and Hepburn (Rep. la.).
In favor of the bill, and Cowherd (Dem.
Mo.), Lanahan (Dem. Tex.). Grosvenor
(Rep. O.) and Kleberg (Dem. Tex.) against
the bill.
The debate was resumed Immediately
after the reading of the journal. Tomp
kins (Rep. N. Y.), the first speaker, sup
ported the measure. Robb (Dem. Mo.)
also supvorteJPthe bill, while his colleague,
Cowhord (Dem. Mo.) advocated the adop.
tion of the substitute. The latter tjnld the
defeat of the bill meant a saving of $10,.
000,000 annually to his state.
Grosvenor (Rep. O.) made a vigorous
speech against the measure. He warned
the friends of the bill that the use of a
wholesome food product could not "fie pre
vented by legislation, and declared that
the advertisement given to oleomargarine
by this agitjatlon would defeat the very
ends aimed at by the "friends of the
cow."
Knapp (Rep. N. T.) and Bates (Rep.
Pa.) pupported the bill, and Lanahan
(Dem Tex.) opposed it.
At 5 o'clock the House adjourned until
tomorrow.
AIWIY IX Till PHILIPPINES.
Governor Tuft Continues His Narra
tive Before, the Jjenntc Committee.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. Governor Taft
today continued his narrative before the
Senate committee on the Philippines con
cerning conditions in the Philippine archi
pelago. Referring to his testimony of
yesterday, he eald he feared that he had
given a wrong Impression concerning the
part the Army had played In bringing
the Insurrection to an end. but if so this
was due to the fact that he could not
present a correct lmproion of the whole
situation from one point of lvew. Then,
In order to give the Army its Just dues,
he took up and analyzed its work in the
islands.
He recalled that as soon as General Otis
had received reinforcements sufficient for
his purposes the Philippine army had
broken up and scattered into guerrilla
bands. On this point Agulnaldo and Luna
had differed, Luna, advocating the contin
uance of the war on the old lines. So
sharp was this difference, he said, that
Agulnaldo had directed and secured the
assassination of Luna, thus leaving the
way open for the carrying out of his own
plans. He would not, he said, repeat the
incident if It had not been positively re
ported to him by General Funston.
Aguinaldo paid ;hat if he did not kill Luna
Luna would kill him. Indeed, the custom
was to order a man's death In his absence
and have him killed upon his return.
"The presence of these guerrilla bands
rendered it necessary to place garrisons
everywhere, there being at one time as
many ,i"4w of them. This rendered the
work of the Army very arduous, and the
activity, skill and bravery of the American
troops were such as to soon render the
enemy tired of the warfare."
Governor Taft also said that the great
majority of the people of the Islands de
sire peace, and that the Insurrectionists
are by their acts preventing the mass of
the people from settling down and earn
ing a quiet living. Instead of being al
lowed to do this, they are kept under a
system of terrorism which should be
stopped.
The condition of activity continued until
the last Presidential election in the United
States, said the Governor. The Insurgents
believed that if Mr. Bryan should be
elected there would be a change of policy
and the islands surrendered, placing thosf
who were in insurrection in charge, but
when Mr. McKInley was elected there
was a feeling that there would be an in
definite retention of the archipelago, and
that the system then in force would be
continued.
Discussing the effect of the guerrilla
warfare. Governor Taft said it often re
sulted in the murder of the Filipinos
themselves. "I venture to say that there
Is not a Filipino General or commanding
officer who could not be convicted of re
sponsibility for the killing of their peo
ple." ,
This led him to speak of the traits of the
Filipinos, one of which, he said, is cru
elty. He had been told by American Army
officers of many Instances of mutilation
of the cornses of our soldiers. Thin be-
authorities:, and said that mort of his con-
elusions were drawn from contact with
the Filipinos themselves.
In conclusion. Governor Taft as ques
tioned concerning the acts of the Philip
pine Commission for the punishment of
treason, but he expressed a dffirc to post
pone discussion of thl? matter until a time
when more attention could be given It.
Up had not, he said, been present when
th,s law was enacted, but he had an
opinion on the subject which hc would be
glad to give. The committee then ad.
journed until tomorrow.
Inlluencc of College Sport.
PROVIDENCE. R. I.. Feb. 4. Dean
Meiklejohn, of Brown University, in his
annual report dealing with college regis
tration, differs from President Eliot, .of
Harvard, by attributing the increased reg
istration of Brown's students, in a meas
ure, to athletic prominence, especially
when that jiromlnence comes through vic
tories. President Eliot, in his recent re
port, said that success or failure In sports
has had no Influence on registration at

useless owlnff to the Impassable rivers and trailers mountains. The expedition,
however, succeeded In destroying the Insurgents' principal storehouses of rice, cap

killed, many houses. Including a larce barrio, were destroyed, about 30 Insurgents
killed and l."i0 large barotea were captured or dfstrojed. The damage done by this
large capture of rice Is a herlousblow- to the Insurgents, who are reported to be
short of food. The expedition returned to Borogun oa the 2."th. Captain W. Wal
lace, who sent out the expedition. Is a nephew of General Lew Wallace, the author
of "Ben Hur." Captain Wallace was appointed a Lieutenant in the First Infantry

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4. At least nine men
were killed and as many more injured
at a fire which broke out tonight in the
five-story stone and brick building at
314 Chestnut street, occupied by the
American Tent & Awning Company. The
building suddenly collapsed, and although
the men who were caught In the crash
had not been reached by their hard

wall, seriously hurt; William Julleb. Mar
shal Thierry's driver, caught by falling
wall, seriously hurt; William Wand,
foreman Company 12, severely injured
by falling walls.
The building in which the fire origin
ated was located in the old business sec
tion of the city and was about 50 years
old. The blaze, which proved a hard one
for the fire department to master, was
practically under control when suddenly,
with absolutely no warning, the building
collapsed and came down In a heap with
a tremendous noise.
Three pipemen at work on the second
floor had difficulty in mannging a line of
hose and Assistant Chief Thierry was
on his way with three of his men to lend
them aid when the building collapsed.
The men went down with tons of twisted
Iron, brick and wooden columns envelop
ing them.
The property loss is $75,000.
The first body tnken from the ruins
was that of William Buendon. He was
barely conscious and badly crushed. He
was taken to the hospital. No hopes are
entertained for his recovery.
THE ROILERS EXPLODED.
Many of the Crew of a Pittsburg
Towlmat Perished!
PITTSBURG, Feb. 5. At about 1:15 this
(Wednesday) morning, just as the Pitts
burg harbor towboat J. W. Alles had
passed through lock No. 2. her boilers
exploded, throwing her crew of 14 in all
directions. Three of the crew are known
to be fatally hurt, and only five others
have been accounted for. The following
are fatally Injured: Joseph Rankin, deck
hand "Brownie," wntcbm.an, and Mrs.
Maria Walker, colored, cook. All are
horribly scalded and burned. The other
membtrs of the crew are: Captain Anl

of the lock the explosion occurred, and in
a very short time the Alles was burned
to the water's edge. The report of the
explosion was heard for "miles, and soon
after rescuing parties were searching for
the injured. Captain Shaw says he was
sleeping in his bunk when the explosion
came, and the first he knew of any dan
ger was when he found himself ilounder
ing around in the water, fully 200 feet
away from the burning boat, with ins
blanket still around him. He is not seri
ously hurt, but thinks many of his crew

been sold in the city of Omaha for the
last month than all other medicines put
together."
So writes the leading wholesale drug
houGe of the West to the proprietors of
Paine's Celery Compound.
In October last a card from Hon. Frank
E. Moores, the Mayor of that city, was
published in the Omaha Bee, in which he
told of the great benefit Paine's Celery
Compound had been to him. "I regard
it." he said, "the most wonderful remedy
I have ever tried for building up the sys
tem when once run down."
On account of Mayor Moores great pop
ularity and well-known standing, the pub
lication of his card in the Bee instigated
the Omaha News, the Bee's principal com
petitor, to make a canvass of druggists
and physicians in that city, to find out
their experience with this and other rem
edies. A few days later the NeVs pub-.
Hshed almost a page of the opinions it had
gathered. The physicians and druggists
interviewed were absolutely unanimous In
saying that, of all prepared remedies, the

General to hl3 petition and dismissing the
same. Johnson's contention was that the
Board of Equalization was really a Board
of Appraisement as well as equalization.
The board refused to increase the total
appraisement, taking the position that it
had power simply to equalize valuations
among the different companies.
