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

MENTIONED FOR NEW CABINET POSITION IT IS SOUGHT TO
CREATE.
Should Congress pass the bill now before It creatine the Cabinet position of
Secretary of Commerce, It Is almost certain that Carroll D. "Wright, present La
bor Commissioner, will Iks appointed to tho position. Mr. Wright's name has been
prominently asxoclated with the ofilec ever since there has been a probability of
its creation. 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."

Houhc Committee: on Holes Tnlccx No
Action on the Uue.stion.
"WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. 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

QUESTION IS OF TODAY

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.

ference. between this condition and the J
condition known as neurasthenia or nerv-

Poruna will be found to effect an Imme-
diate and lasting cure In all cases of sys
temic catarrh. It act.s quickly and bene
ficially on the diseased mucous membranes
and with healthy mucous membranes the
catarrh can no longer exist.
Peruna .1 Trne Friend to Women.
.Mrs. W. B. Krause. wife of the pub
lisher of the Port Washington Herald,
writes from Port AVashlngton, Wis.:
"Pcruna has cured my catarrh and the
suffering which I had In my back and i
bearing-down pains. I am very thank
ful for Pcruna, as It has cured me where
other medicines have failed. I always
will speak a good word for Peruna."
Mrs. W. B. Krause.
Peruna Is equally efficacious In curing
catarrh of the throat ar in curing sys
temic catarrh or catarrh of the stomach.
Catarrh is essentially the same wherever
located. Peruna cures catarrh.

As the United States cannot grant an

the Filipinos to remove their fear of con
gressional government by the enactment
of generous legislation. There Is only
one way to bind the Filipinos to America.
That is to make the allgelance to their
advantage. Trade must be encouraged,
industries built up, the condition of the
people Improved. "The abolition or

Diseased nerves are traceable directly
to poor digestion, end poor digestion is
directly traceable to catarrh. With the
slightest catarrh of the stomach no one
can have good digestion.
Very few of the many women who
have catarrh of the stomach suspect
what their real trouble is. They know
they belch after mea's, have sour stom
ach, a sensation of weight or heaviness,
a fullness. Irregular appetite, drowsiness,
gnawing, empty sensation?, occasional
pain they all know this; but they do not
know that their trouble Is catarrh of the
rtomach. If they did they would take
Peruna.
Peruna cures catarrh wheraver located.
As soon as Teruna removes catarrh from
the stomach the digestion becomes good,
appetite regular, nerves strong and trou
ble vanishes. Tcruna strengthens weak
nerves, not by temporarily stimulating
them, but by removing the cause of -weak
, nen,-es poor digestion. This Is the only
cure that lasts. Remove the cause: Na
ture will do the rest. Peruna removes the
cause.

yspepsia
f-Is difficult digestion, due to a
weakened condition of the stomach
and its inability to properly churn
the food; or to unhealthy condition
of the gastric juice, too much or
too little acid, too much or too
little pepsin
HoodVs Sarsaparilla relieves all
the distressing symptoms of dys
pepsia because it promotes the mus
cular action of the stomach and in
testines, aids nature in the manu
facture of her own digestive secre
tions, which are far better than
any artificial pepsin, unlocks the
bowels, stimulates the kidneys and
tones up their mucous membranes.
So prompt is its effect in many
cases that it seems to have almost
a magic touch.
