TAKES WIDE RANGE House Debate on Indian Bill Covers Many Subjects, ANSWERS WHEELER'S SPEECH Uontell Replies to Illm With a His tory of "Truculent Sycophancy" Humiltoii of Michigan Speaks on Truwtx. WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. Again today the general debate on the Indian appro priation bill -was devoted almost entirely to extraneous topics. As yesterday, the Issue raised by "Wheeler (Dem. Ky.) a few days ago came In for considerable atten tion, and was the feature of the session. Bromwell. an Ohio Republican; Kern, an Illinois Democrat, and Fleming, a Georgia Democrat, added their views to the liter ature on the subject, but it was Boutell, an Illinois Republican, who entertained tho House most. He was well fortified ivlth material, and with exceedingly good temper and a trenchant display of wc traced the history of what "Wheeler had called "truculent sycophancy," as he said, from, the day -when the first Democratic President purchased a bogus coat of arms to the entertainment of Queen Lllluoka lanl by the last Democratic President. He finally dismissed the whole subject by say ing it should be acceped abroad as one of the erratic and sporadic phases of Ameri can humor. Hamilton, a Michigan Republican, en livened the proceedings with an enter taining speech on trusts. The other speak ers were Little (Dem. Ark.), who discussed conditions in Indian Territory; CoriiHs (Hep. Mich.), who spoke on the Pacific cable; Stephens (Dem. Tex.), on statehood for Oklahoma; Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.), on In cr. ascd pay for letter-carriers; Fitzgerald iDem. N. Y.), on the education of the In dians: Jackson (Dem. Ivan.), on the elec tion of Senators by the people, and New lands (SI1. Nev.). on the bill to redeem silver dollars in gold. The ProcecdiiiK. "When the consideration of the Indian opproprJation bill was resumed, Little (Don. Ark.), the ranking member of the minority, addressed himself to the House . s to the conditions in Indian Territory, ""he anomalouh situation there, where 397. ( white mn have no voice in the govern ment, he said, demands action by Con-r-ress. Ho contended that a territorial J irm of government should be set uv there, "le reviewed the recent. great development in various branches of industry in the riu.ry. With 150 towns and cities, and wealth amounting to $50,0u0,0!. he said, ''lore are 80,(00 white children of school .. ge, but no schools. Such a condition A affairs, he declared, is an outrage. He belli ws the territory Is ready for statc luod, out that Congress should grant, at i ..st. ome liberal form of territorial gov ernment. Bromwell (Rep. O.), -who followed Little. 1 et the Hoor to comment upon tho recent speech of Wheeler (Dom. Ky.). In the ti'urre of his remarks he paid a high trib ute to the Germans, and elicited from heirr the remark that he had no objec tion to Bromwell making himself solid witn his Girman constituent. Bromwell l ad a humorous poem, the burden of whiih was that Wheeler would regret his .-,ch when the Germans of Kentucky nt to the polls In the Fall. "or'.--s (Rop. Mich.) then delivered the jcroiul installment of his speech in favor i f the building of a Government cable to t' Philippines. He argued ngalnt any i r.-idc ration of the Commercial Cable o ip?ny's offer to build a cable from San -3'icleo to Manila, denouncing the cor 1orai:or. as an ally of the Eastern Exten di n able Company, whose allied lines, I'c said, embraced a system which aggre l . i nearly 70.00) nautical miles of cable, i verinif the most extensive and powerful i able and telegraph monoply in tho world. Ht said their lines reach every continent xcept North America, and tho purpose rl its union with its ally, the Commercial j .-cine Cable Company, is to encircle the f. obe ami extend the influence and advan tar f its present monopoly in the Pa ill" Orn and in the far East. "What have you to say to the allega Jon." Interrupted H. C. Smith (Rep. Mich.) "that your bill is in the interest cf the Western Union Telegraph Com pany?" t orl.'ss said that he was glad the ques tion had luon asked. In the 55th Con rres. ho said, the Pacific Cable Company .nd the Commeicial were seeking leglsla i jn for tht privilege of constructing a tubsidy-fod cable. He then contended, ho said, that if the two great companies wanted the privilege, it should be given to the lowest and best bidder or a Govern ment caul should be built. At that time, he said, the Western Union opposed his idea and the Postal encouraged the idea of a Government cable. Since then, he said, the Postal and Commercial have tormeu an alliance with the Eastern Cable Company, and are now opposed to a Gov ernment cable. The Atlantic Cable and Wost-rn Union Telegraph Company are now confronted with the monopolistic com bination. Hamilton (Rep. Mich.), in a general speech, discussed the question of trusts. He argued that combinations are inevit able; that they exist everywhere in Eu jope and that only combinations here could meet them. Commerce has resolved itself into a race of giants. Hamilton's speech, which consumed about an hour in Its de livery, was i,lcturesque and attracted much attention. He was very sarcastic and witty in his references to the Democratic party, and reH?atedly drew applause and laughter from both sides of the House. When he concluded he received an ovation. The proceedings were interrupted for sev eral minutes by "members crowding up the aisle to shake hands with him. Vandlver (Dem. Mo.) who followed Ham ilton, remarked that it was strange that the author of the first speech on the floor in dpfer.se of trusts and combinations bhould le so heartily congratulated by his colleagues. He then proceeded to answer some of Hamilton's statements. Stephens (Dem. Tex.) advocated state hood for Oklahoma, and argued that Con gress should provide schools for children In Indian Territory. Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.) made a plea for In creased pay for letter-carriers. Fitzgerald (Dem. N. Y.) discussed the question of Indian education, contending that the foundation of Indian education should be religious and moral training. Jackson (Dem. Ivan.) spoke In favor of agitation against the Senate to compel it to pass the joint resolution for a Con stitutional amendment for the election of Senators by direct popular vote. Kern (Dem. 111.), who announced that he represented a large German constitu ency, and was himself a son of German parents, protested against the attempt to make political capital out of the recent speech of Wheeler, which he characterized as "an insignificent incident." He fol lowed his protest with nn assault on the majority for their failure to show sjm pathy for the Boers struggling in South Africa, he said. "forthe liberties for which our forefathers fought," Boutell (Rep. 111.) congratulated Kern on his accession to the band of American humorists, in which Wheeler ranks so high. Boutell then proceeded with delicate humor to trace the origin of what "Wheeler had called "truculent sycophancy." First he read a letter written by Thomas Jeffer son in lul. in which he anthorized the purchase of a coat of arms for him. and from another written four years later. In -which, he said that he would rather be dependent on Great Britain "than any other country or than none." Then he passeJ down to the days of Martin Van Buren, and told of the visit of his son, John, to the court of St. James, which earned for him Uv sobriquet of "Prince John," by which he was known afterward. Boutell, said that he felt sure that when the daughter of the President returns from the coronation of Edward VII she would not be known as "Princess Alice." Bou tell then told the story of the coronation of the Czar of Russia in ISM, and of the appearance on that occasion of the Demo cratic Ambassador, Clifton R. Brecken ridge, of Arkansas, in full court costume, knee breeches and all. Breckenridge was, he said amid laughter, a native of Lexing ton, Ky. "He has been dead politically ever since," Interjected Fitzgerald (Dem. N. Y.). Boutell produced the cablegrams and correspondence that passed bctwocn Breckenridge and the State Department relative to the costume the Ambassador should wear at the coronation. Sims (Dem. Tenn.) interrupted to nsk where this correspondence had beenoo taincd. "They are the originals from the State Department " replied Boutell. "Could not the diligence of the State De partment be better employed in helping the suffering Boers than in unearthing this y- oeco CARROLL TmPJwJfflilJp' ' '" "IKHMaH39LlLaaKeBLaLaLaB jBYMuaaaaalaBiMb&jnH'?v?&.'.i&& vbbh Ub' 'Viln ss-v otwf .Vyt3)aaEr?s3iESB ZSyixlj?'

The interests most concerned would be well pleased with the selec tion of Mr. Wright, who is especially well fitted for the position. i, correspondence?" inquired Richardson, amid Democratic applause. "1 leave that to the experts on 'truculent sycophancy,' " replied Boutell. who then described the reception of the Queen of Hawaii in Washington, and the honor snown her by President Cleveland. "Thus we see," he added, when he had finished the reading, "we have traced the origin of truculent sycophancy from the day when the first Democratic President pur chased a bogus coat-of-arms to the enter tainment of a Queen at the White House by th' last Democratic President." (Re publican applause and laughter.) Boutell caused great amusement by then reading a published account of the tour of the United States by the Grand Duke Alexis, In 1871. dwelling upon the details of his visit to Kentucky, where he was received "officially" and with great state. With exceedingly good temper he conclud ed by expressing the hope that what had occurred in the House within the past week would be accepted abroad simply as another evidence of the "erratic and sporadic form which American humor sometimes took in the American House of Rcpref-enta lives."

Tho Haute committee on rules- met today to consider the advisability of a special rule in con nection with the proposeel change of the rural free delivery system in the post ofilce appropriation bill. This subject will come up In 'i few days, and there is a question as to whether the change of rural carriers from the salary to the con tract system can be considered in an ap propriation bill until a social rule is framed. For the present, however, there . will be no action, as It was decided to await the development of the debate. The Inaction of the committee Is regarded as I an equivalent to a defeat of the proposed I rule. Chairman Loud, of the pootoillce j committee, takes this view. Under the circumstances, it Is not expected that the proposed rural carrier changes will be i carried out unless a special bill Is- framed for that purpose. The committee has not yet considered the recent Tequcst of S7 of the Republican members who met In cau cus and asked -for a special committee to Investigate questions of disfranchisement.

QUESTION IS OF TODAY coxennss dkalixg with the PHILIPPINES OF THE PKESEXT. Ilurrovt' Speech In the Senate on the Turin III1I. Money In Opposi tion to It MuIIory Amendment. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. The Senate conunueu me consideration ot me i-uiiiji-plne tariff bill today, the main speeches being made by Burrows, for the bill, and Money, against it. although Mitchell. Foraker. Mallory and Tillman all took more or less part in the general debate on the subject. Burrows maintained that Congress is dealing with the question as It Is today, and not with any reference to what took place In the past or might take place in the future. He maintained that the United States' occupancy of the is lands Is with due regard to international obligations. Mallory spoke partlcularly iu favor of his amendment to that portion of the bill relating to the navigation laws, and said it Is necessary In the Interest of American shipping. Money maintained that it is not so much a question of what could be done with the Filipinos as It Is to legislate In tho Interests of our own people. There were several rather lively t ; D. WRIGHT exchanges between Foraker and the oppo sition Senators during the debate. The ProceetlnijK. Soon after the Senate convened a reso lution offered by Tillman was adopted di recting the civil service committee to transmit to tho Senate a statement show ing the apportionment of the employes In the various departments of the Govern ment from, the several states and the District of Columbia, together with the percentages of employes In tho depart ments. At the conclusion of routine business. Burrows addressed the Senate upon the Philippine tariff bill. He said It was not his "purpose to discuss fully tho Phil ippine question, but to show simply how the United States was in the Philippines and why it should remain In the Islands. He said that Congress now Is dealing with questions as they are found today, and not as they have been In the past or might be in the future. He felt that the Nation is confronted by a condition and not by a theory. "We hold," said he. "the Philippines by a title that cannot be challenged by any court in Christendom. We have become responsible for them to the nations of tho world. The pending bill simply provides revenues sufficient to meet the neds of the Government of the Philippines." After he had compared briefly the pend ing bill and the substitute offered by the minority, he entered upon a discussion of the events which led up to the war with Siin. The war. he said, was In responso to the popular demand in the United State-s. and no people were moro clamor ous for a war than those who now con stitute the minority. Burrows reviewed the beginning of the war in the Philippines, and said the United States' occupation of the Islands was with a due regard to tho Govern mental obligations. Burrows said the Philippines deserve a good Government, but do not deserve Independence because an Independent Government Is not prac ticable. Burrows speech was Interrupted to en able the Senate to agree to a conference with the house en the bill establishing a permanent census office, and to appoint Senators Quarles, McComas and Tali aferro as conferees on the part of the Senate. Burrows resumed his speech with a re view of the beginning of the war in the Philippines, his effort being to show that the United States proposed to make its occupation of the Islands as gentle as possible, with a due regard to this Gov ernment's International obligations. While the Michigan Senator was rend ing tho proclamation of President McKJn lcy. known as the "benevolent assimila tion" plan. Tillman Interrupted to In quire if he contended that the President had authority to Issue that proclamation. "No doubt of it." replied Burrown. "While the treaty had not been ratified." he said, "the President hsd ample au thority to issue such a proclamation as a guide to the military commanders In the Philippines." "In other words." suggested Tillman, "although that proclamation Ignored the present status of the Filipinos. It was expected that the 9.OJ0000 of people would accede to Its provisions." Culberson interrupted to say that the proclamation was considered so extremi that a part of It was suppressed by General Otis. Buirows asserted that the Filipinos were not prepared, either by education or experience, for independence and could not maintain It if it were granted to them. Burrows said the legislation pro posed in the pending bill seemed to Jus tify the continued exercise of American sovereignty over a people advancing in the scale of civilization and orderly gov ernment. Mallory declared his opposition to the principles underlying the "pending meas ure, and to the specific provisions of the bill. He made an argument in support of his proposed amendment to the bill, which, he said, was designed to make It conform to certain principles of naviga tion that have been in operation for many years. The amendment provided, in brief, that the navigation laws of tho United States, suitably modified, should be applied to traffic between the United States and the Philippines, and among the Islands of the archipelago. He main tained that the proposition of the minority to admit foreign ships to our coastwise trade was so great an innovation that it might not be considered lightly. Mallory did not want to embarrass the shipping on the Pacific, so he had fixed In his amendment a limit of time during which foreign ships should enjoy participation In the Philippine trade. That limit was July 1, 1903. Tillman presented a number of public documents, as he said, in refutation ot tho statement made by Burrows In his address earlier In the day. Thcss paper generally bore on the treatment by the United States of the Inhabitants of ncwly acqulred countries, nnd were Intended to show that in the past they had been re ceived as citizens. He laid special stress on the difference of the circumstances connected with the acquisition of Louisi ana and those connected with the acquisi tion of the Philippines. The former he characterized as Democratic expansion and the latter as Republican subjugation. Quoting President McKInlcy's announce ment that we must pursue n method of benevolent ass mliatlon in the Philip pines Tillman said that the assimilation which had been pracMced could be com pared to nothing so well as the parable of t,he lamb and the Hon. It would lw found, he sild. when they should get up that the lamb would be inside the Hon. He spoke of the cfTort of building up American schools In the Philippines as "ma-wklsh sentimentality." saying that the system could b'- of no avail In view of the fact that the teachers sent over know nothing of the language. of the Filipinos and the Filipinos nothing of the English lar.gur.gr. Money replied to some points In the rpeech made by Mitchell a few day? ago. contending that our failure to recognize the Independence of the Filipino? at any time could have no be-nrlng on the ques tion of their stindlr.g as a people. The important question Is not what shall be done for the Filip.nos. continued Money, but what shall be done for our own peo ple. Our position, he argued. Is liable to bring on war with other nations nt any time, when the $1.5fO,C00 per week ex penditure of the present time would bo vastly increnrcd. Replying to Money, Mitchell contended that the United States had acquired tltre to the Philippines through the triumph of Its arms and by the treaty of Paris. We should get rid of the Islands, in our own interest, Money went on, especially for the purpose of eradicating from our country the practice on the part of the Congress of conferring autocratic powers on the Executive. "We will find before we terminate tlvu experiment." he said, "that the saddest day of our history Is the day that we slsned the Spanish treaty." Money denounced the Taft commission as "uselessly pernicious." Foraker said he did not belie-e that Money's despairing view of the situation in the Philippines is generally shared. He thought the way to honor is in going forward and not in turning back. Reply ing to Tillman, Foraker said the people of Louisiana had not been allowed to elect a Governor or the judiciary of that ter ritory, and that the Government estab lished in the Philippines Is far more lib eral than the Government established in Louisiana by Jefferson and the Demo cratic Congress of that day. Interrupting. Tillman said the President appoints the Governors of all territories, and. admitting this, Foraker said that no more authority Is required now in tho case of the Philippines. This statement led Tillman to say that Congress had granted no authority for such appoint ment. "The Governor of tho Philippines Is the Governor by appointment," said For aker, in reply, "and he is as much Gov ernor as Claiborne was Governor of Louisiana under Jefferson's appointment." Tillman and Money called -attention to the fact that Claiborne's nomination had been confirmed by the Senate, while no such confirmation had taken place In the case of- Governor Taft. Procedlng, Foraker said that neither In the case of Louisiana nor the Philip pines had the people been bought when the territory became part of tho United States and there is, he contended, no more attempt to govern the people of tihe Philippines without their consent thnn there was in the case of the people of Louisiana. The Senate at 5:25 adjourned. TWO NEW ADMIRALS. Captain Cooper and "WndleiRh Nnmed Iy President. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.

Captain Edward Chambreau, SI years old, one of the best-known Indinn scouts and fighters of the Pacific coast, died early this morning at St. Vlncent'3 Hos pital from kidney trouble.

When the Indian War of 1S73 broke out, Chambreau was one of the fir3t men to offer his services to the Government, and he was appointed Interpreter and scout by General O. O. Howard. In his deal ings with the Indians he was very suc cessful, and was noted for his bravery, endurance and tact. It Is said that It was largely through his efforts and the confidence he Inspired among the Indians that peace was brought about sooner than the Indians wished. In 1SS0 he en gaged In the grocery business at the J northeast corner of Fifth and Morrison streets, and then he bought a farm near Portland Heights, about four miles from the city.
