LoiIkc on Philippine BUI.
At 2 o'clock the sundry civil bill was
laid aside, and Lodge addressed the Senate
on the Phi ipplne government bill. One of
the objects of the bill, he said, was to
I-elp the development of the islands. The
opponents of the bill, he said, had charged
that it opened the way to exploiters, syn
dicate! and carpet-baggers. He was aware
of th general hostility of the Democratic
pirf to any man who has made money
or Is making money. Discussing the tes
timony of Governor Taft, Lodge declared -I
Taf war one of the most candid and
f-ir-mlnded men. who had made great
s irriiiccK to go to the Philippines. He
paid a high tribute also to Acting Gov-.
nor right.
The attack of the minority, however.
Lodge said, had not been confined to the
Philippine Commission. Democratic Sena
ton? had made an attack on the American
Army because It was charged cruelties
had been committed on Filipinos. The
Army had been victorious in the Philip
pints and it now meets the same abuse
the Union Army met after Appomattox.
The Senator from Utah had grossly exag
gerated the situation in the Philippines.
It was a source of bitter regret to him
i Lodge) that anj American officer or n
lltttd man should have tortured any Fili
pino, or that any order had been issued
that on Its face seemed revolting. "But,"
said he, "there must be some reasons for
tKe alleged cruelties." He -then told of
three American eoldlersvwho were cap
turd by the Filipinos. They were stripped
naked and told that if they would cry
"Long live the Filipino Republic" they
might run into the bush as they were.
One of the men stood there naked, in the
midst of the hostile band and crlpd.
"Long llyo America." The Filipinos tied
him to a tree and the women and children
stoned him to death. The other two lost
heart, and cried "Long live the Filipino
Republic," but notwithstanding this they
were cut to pieces with bolos.
"Words of Pralie for Chaffee.
Lodge said it had been charged by Raw
lins that General Chaffee had received
his education "in savagery" In China.
Against those cruel words, he said, he sat
on General Chaffee's official record. In
the Philippines General Chaffee had con
ducted warfare In the most -humane man
ner possible In the circumstances. He
declared that President McKinley, "one of
the most humane and generous of men,"
had directed the Army to show the Fili
pinos the greatest kindness. That policy
had been carried out in the main. From
that policy the successor of President Mc
Kinley had not deviated. Within a few
days orders' had gone from the "White
House for the investigation of alleged cru
elties and to punish any found guilty of
atrocities.
Lodge made a warm -defonse of the Sec
retary of War. Towns had been burned
in this war as towns had been burned in
the course of every war. and while such
cases were to be deplored, they were in
cidents of war. In the speeches of the
minority, he said, women and children had
been slaughtered by myriads, but there
was no direct record of any killing of
women or children traceable to American
soldiers. He paid a high tribute to the
American Army in the Philippines, all of
the members of which, he pointed out,
under the Army system, were volunteers.
-They represented thoroughly the Ameri
can communities which gave them birth.
The atrocities whiclj had been committed
In isolated instances, and which all re
gretted, had grown out of -warfare.
Atrocities by Filipino.
Lodge then quoted from the fecortls
many instances of atrocities committed
by the Filipino insurgents on the Amer
ican troops. Men had been captured as
prisoners of war and their ears cut off,
their Intestines cut out, and their bodies
otherwise horribly mutilated. Others had
been dven Into streams and while
drowning had been shot Still others had
been buried alive. Reading from statis
tics furnished by the authorities in the
Philippines, he showed that hundreds of
natives had been assaulted and mutilated
because they sympathized with the Amern
leans. The stitlstlcs showed that the
number of natives thus treated aggre
gated 442. He pointed out that 67 munici
pal officers friendly to the Americans had
been assassinated, and 40 had been as-
LsaultPd and mutilated. He closed his
speecn. siymg:
"I did not arise to defend In the remot
est way any cruelties practiced upon
helpless prisoners. I regard them as bit
terly as any one can. But as I have lis
tened to this debate I confess I have felt
shocked beyond measure at the attacks
made upon the Army of the United
States. Don't let us condone a single
proved offemse. But let us be Just, at
least, to our" own. Let us remember, liv
ing here In sheltered homes, far from
the sound and trials of war, not only their
suffering but their temptations, their
provocations, their trials. When we con
demn Waller for shooting treacherous
guides, when we think of that little band
of his that struggled through the wilder
ness of Samir, where no Spaniard had
ever gone, and came out on the other
side delirious with sufferings, so that h'c
was reported when he first reached Ma
nila to be out of his mind, let us remem
ber the circumstances ere we condemn.
Think of those 500 or GOO posts scattered
all over those Islands, little squadrons of
15 or 20 men under the command, very of
ten, of a Sergemt or a young Lieutenant,
living there among people apparently
friendly. The first thing this boy In com
mand, or the Sergeffnt knows. Is that
one of his men has been, assassinated in
the night.
"I want to have justice to the American
Army. I want the country to know, when
it reads of era el t Jos to hostile Filipinos,
whit our men have suffered and endured.
I don't wish to be put In the position of a
defender of cruelties. If I must make my
choice, then, I am for the friendly na
tives, the friend of America against the
arms against her, and Lam for the
American Arms against the Insurgents.
Army Xo Political Footstool.
"The scheme has been to raise this cry
of cruelty in the Philippines In order to
make it reict upon the party in power.
The American Army ought not to be sub
jected to attacks like that. It is not made
to be the footstool of politics, and what
it does ought not to be used to raise up
or pull down any part When justice Is
done: when the guilty liave been punished
for proved offenses, when the whole story
has been made up, I believe that after
all that has been said, and all the denun
ciation that has been heaped on our
troops and our officers has fallen into si
lence, we shall find that in the history
of the country, the record of our Army,
gleaming with victories from Trenton to
Manila, shall shine brightly In the annals
of the Republic when those who vlllify it
are but noteless blots on a remembered
name."
The conference report on the omnibus
claims bill was agreed to without com
ment Rawlins then made a brief reply to
Lodge. He disclaimed any effort by his
criticism to besmirch the American Army.
The responsibility for the conditions in
the Philippines, and for the atrocities in
the Philippines, did not he said, rest
upon the Army officers. He extolled
General Chaffee and all American officers,
exculpating them from responsibilities for
the Army's position in the Philippines.
TJiey and the men under them, he de
clared, were the victims of that policy.
He declared that he had not made his
criticisms of that policy to attain parti
san ends, but to vindicate the honor and
integrity of the country. He did not lay
such charges as he had made at-the door
of General Chaffee, or at the door of any
other officer In the Philippines. They
were performing a most thankless and
unhonored task. The responsibility for
the policy being pursued, he asserted, lay
at the door of the Senator from Massa
chusetts (Lodge) and at the door of other
Senators who were supporting and en
deavoring to vindicate that policy.
The sundry civil bill was then passed.
The death of Representative Otey, of J
Virginia, was announced, and a commit
tee was appointed to attend the funeral.
As an additional mark of respect the Sen
ate then, at 4:55 P. M., adjourned.
"WILL XOT HELP SUGAR TRUST.
Havemeyer Holdx Cnhnn ConccMHlon
Will MaUe "o Difference.
WASHINGTON, May P.-Presldent
Havemeyer, of. the Sugar Refining Com
pany, to-day continued his testimony be
fore the Committee on Relations wltn
Cuba. He was questioned by Senator
Teller regarding the reduction on the
price of sugar at Missouri River points.
He said beet sugar generally sold 10
points below cane sugar at the .points af
fected. He did not object to the differ
ence In price, but to the exclusive fea
ture of the contracts. Cuban sugar would
cost the company as much with the con
cession as without it If the whole duty
were taken off, the Cubans would receive
the benefit for a time. Ho said the
apprehensions of the beet sugar men were
fallacious. Mr. Havemeyer said if the
tariff on sugar w reduced 20 per cent
neither the trust nor the consumer would
get the benefit of It because the price
would Immediately advance to offset this
action.
TellT went at some length In examin
ing the witness as to the cause of last
year's reduction of the price of sugar at
Misouri points, the witness insisting it
was "nqt the difference in price, but the
more Important feature, the exclusive
ness of the contracts." He could not give
the name of any sugar factory making
such a contract, but said the terms were
made by the beet factories of the South
west, "of Colorado and Utah." He added
he had never seen one of the contracts
after it was signed, but he had seen the
blank forms.
"Suppose," suggested Teller, "It should
turn out that none of the contracts was
ever signed.
"My apprehension Is that the contracts
were perfected, and I acted upon that
hypothesis."
"Did you lose money in your reduc
tions'" "We did." He said that he had no
intention of destroying the beet-sugar in
dustry. "It was." he said, "only a little
Southwestern scrap, and did very little
harm."
Mr. Havemeyer Insisted 'several times
that the sugar company would have to
pay as much for Cuban sugar as it now
pays, even If the proposed Congressional
concession should be made.
"Suppose we should take the entire
duty off Cuban sugar, would there be a
reduction In the price pi Cuban sugar?"
he was asked.
"There would not be until the volume of
Cuban production should approximate our
consumption. Until then the Cubans
would get the benefit"
"Suppose 25 per cent should be added
to the duty."
"The added expense would come out of
the Cubans. The price would be the
Hamburg price plus the duty."
Toller questioned the witness as to
where he would secure his sugar should
the Cuban crop not be marketed for sev
eral months. He replied that he would
look to Porto Rico and South America,
where there Is an lnxehaustible quantlty
of beets. During the Spanish War 200,000
tons were imported from South America.
He said that the Cuban planter is not in
a financial condition to hold his crop In
the event of there being no legislation un
til next session.

CORRIGAN PASSES AWAY
ARCHBISHOP SUFFERS A SUDDEX
COLLAPSE AXD SOON DIES.
Lnnt Momenta Were Peaceful and
Without Evidence of Suffering
Career of Noted Prelate.
NEW YORK. May 5. Archbishop
Michael Augustln Corrlgan died at 11:05
o'clock tonight, aged 62 years. The death
of the archbishop came as a great" sur
prise and shock to those In the archl
cplscopal residence. It was more so to
the general public, for the last bulletin
of .the day was that so certain wefe the
physicians of an Improvement of the pa
tient that there would be no more bulle
tins tonight Up to 10:00 there was no
evidence of collapse: in fact, the arch
bishop at 10:50 talked with his secretary.
About 11 o'clock, however, the trained
nurses who had been In charge nt the bed
side noticed -a change. Acting on Instruc
tions, the physicians were telephoned for.
At the same time, the archbishop's two
brothers were summoned to the room, as
well as a number of priests.- It was
quickly seen by the physicians that the
end was at hand, and In less than a quar
ter of an hour the prelate was dead. His
THE LATE ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN.
last moments were peaceful .and without
evidence of suffering. Besides the two
brothers of the archbishop, there were
prqsent In the room a dozen priests,
among them Father Lavelle, rector of the
cathedral; a Mexican bishop; Rev. Dr.
Starrentl, Italian secretary to the arch
bishop, and Father Curley, his English
secretary.
At about a quarter to 11 o'clock the
nurses noticed that the archtilshop was
breathing with more difficulty than usual.
They tried to aid him by restoratives,
but he did not respond to these. His
breathing became still more difficult, and
It was evident he was In great pain. A
heart stimulant was administered, but
this failed to relieve the patient and the
nurses notified Father Curley that the
prelate's condition was evidently seri
ous and Dr. Keyes should be summoned.
Under Father Curley's direction, the
servants called all the priests and the
relatives of the archbishop to the room.
There were also present the trained
nurses, two sisters of St Vincent's Hos
pital, who have been In attendance in the
sick room, and three female servants of
the household. All reached the room just
In time to see the prelate breathe his
last Every one stood silently by the
bedside watching the end, and at the very
last all knelt to say the final prayers as
they saw that the end had come. The
crucifix had been placed in the hands of
the archbishop as he lay breathing with
difficulty and he died clasping it His
rosary hung from his wrist over hlo
head was a statue of the Saviour, and on
one side a-TiIcture of the Madonna.
Dr. Keyes, who was unable to reach
the house until 10 minutes before mid
night said that death had doubtless been
caused by degeneration of the heart and
weakness resulting from the archbishop's .
Illness. The illness really dates from
the end of February, this year, when In
going through the Kelly Memorial Chapel,
in course of construction at the rear of
the cathedral, the archbishop fell bet!ween
some beams and to ke"ep himself from J
falling to the floor below he had to hold
himself up by the armpits. The strain
was very great, and before he recovered
from the effects of the accident he was
attacked with pneumonia. It was be
lieved he was out of danger, but his con
dition last night was bad, and he was
unable to rally.
Early this morning a cablegram was
received from the pope congratulating
ATChblehop Corrlgan on getting past the
stages of pneumonia safely, and express
ing wishes for his speedy recovery. -
CAREER OF THE LATE PRELATE.
Prominent Chorch-Workcr in Amcr-i
Icn for 38 Year.
Michael Augustine Corrlgan was born In
Newark, N. J., August 1", 1S30. His parents
Thomas and Mary English Corrlgan. were
natives of Lcinstr, Ireland His father, be
ing In possession of a competence, determined
to give his son a liberal education, a de
termination to which his mother, a woman of
fine Intelligence and rare energy and strength
or character, was largely accessory. She
chose for his preliminary instruction St.
Mary's College. In Wilmington, Del., at the
time conducted by Vicar-General Itellly, of
Wilmington, and in that Institution the young
Student remained for two years, when he
was sent to Mount St. Mary's College, Era
mlttsburg. Md. From the beginning of his
collegiate Instruction, young Corrlgan took
the lead in his classes. While In his Junior
j ear at St. Mary's he made a tour of Eu
rope with his sister, a voung lady of remark
able piety, who greatly Influenced his after
career He completed his course of studies
at Emmlttsburg In 1850, and decided to enter
the priesthood.
Having come to this conclusion, he went to
Rome, and became one of the 12 students with
whom the American College In that city was
opened He made such rapid progress In his
studies that he won a number of medals in
the competitions, which were not only for the
American College, but free to the students
of the propaganda and the Irish and Greek
colleges. He was specially notable for scrupu
lous obedience, for his Industry and close -application,
and for his personal consideration
for those about him. He finished his course
In 1SC4. passing a rigorous examination nnd
obtaining the degree of D D . but on Sep
tember 19, JSC3, a year before this, he was
ordained In the Church of St John Lateran by
Cardinal Patriot, thus becoming a priest a yar
before the close of his theological studies, the
privilege being granted to him as a reward for
the excellence of his conduct while In the
institution.
In July. 1804. Father Corrlgan sailed for the
United States, and on arriving In Newark
was appointed "by Archbishop Bayley to the
professorship of dogmatic theology and sacred
Scripture and the directorship of the ecclesi
astical seminary of Seton Hall College, of
which, at that time. Bishop McQuald was pres
ident Soon after. Father Corrlgan was made
vice-president of the Institution, and In 1SSS.
upon the appointment of Bishop McQuald to
the newly created see of Rochester, Father
Corrlgan, although then hardly 2S years cf
age, was appointed by the archbishop to bo
i president of the college, which was one of
the foremost ot the Catholic educational insti
tutions in the United States.
During the absence of Archbishop Bayley
at the atlcan council of 1870. Father Corrlgan
occupied the offices of administrator and
Icar-general of the. diocese, and when. In
1873, the archbishop was transferred to the
see of Baltimore, thus becoming primate of
America, upon his earnest recommendation
Pius IX appointed Father Corrlgan bishop of
Newark, and he was consecrated May 4 of
that year in the old St Patrick's Cathedral
by the late cardinal, then archbishop, McClos-
I key. In his new office. Bishop Corrlgan ex-
mDited powers which speedily gained for him
the admiration and respect, not only of the
people ot his diocese, but of his ecclesiastical
superiors.
Deeply Interested in reformatory and insti
tutional work, establishments of the greatest
importance to the welfare of the people about

churches and gave them pastors, and conse
crated the cathedral. He kept a watchful
eye oer the welfare of Seton Hall College, of
which he contlnud to be president until 1876,
founded a number of religious communities,
established a reformatory for boys, a refuge for
misguided women, and a. general asylum for
the orphans of his diocese. Bishop Corrlgan in
troduced Into New Jersey the Jesuits and
Dominicans, and founded the convent tor
the Dominican nuns of the Prepetual Adora
tion. On September 20, 18S0, Bishop Corrlgan
was made coadjutor, with the right of suc
cession, to Cardinal McCloskey, archbishop of
New York, under the title of archbishop of
Petra, and thereafter nearly all the practical
work of the archdiocese fell to his hands.
By this time the Catholic schools of New
Jersey had increased to 150, having nearly 30,
000 pupils, with 130 churches and 172 priests.
Archbishop Corrlgan was now the youngest
archbishop, as ho had been the youngest
bishop, in the Catholic Church in America.
From the beginning of his ecclesiastical ca
reer, honor had fallen to him In a way that
was most unusual, except m the case of gray
haired and tlmehonorcd priests. None of these,
however, had changed his manner or course
of conduct from the modest and unassuming
habit he had adopted from the beginning. In
18S4 Archbishop Corrlgan Was summoned to
Rome, and represented New York in the
plenary ctuncll called to advise the holy father.
On October 10, 18S5. the death of Cardinal
McCloskey made Archbishop Corrlgan metro
politan of the dlocesft of New York, and by
a special act of courtesy he was permitted
to perform the acts of his office Immediately on
his accession thereto. Instead of waiting. In
accordance with the usual custom, for the
parllum, which ho did not receive, in fact,
until early In 18SO. A profound scholar. Arch
bishop Corrlgan, although no a great orator,
waa most agreeable preacher, and never
failed to Impress his hearers, while he never
resorted to any of the customary rhetorical
means for gaining and holding their attention.
Mis ottlce was at times conducted under condi
tions and circumstances the reverse of peace
ful, being not infrequently disturbed by the
most bitter and difficult internal dissensions.
Through all of these the archbishop, with
remarkable tact and Judgment, managed to
steer his course In a way to gain the respect
even of his opponents, and those who dis
liked his public attitude an a member of the
Catholic hierarchy ot America. Cn Septem
ber 21, 1001, archbishop Corrlgan celebrated
the 38th anniversary of his ordination to the
priesthood.

QUEEN IS MUCH IMPROVED
WILHELMIXA'S RECOVERY IS SOW
EXPECTED. .
Great Hopes Ballt on Fact That the
Dutch Premier Was Not Sum
moned to Castle.
THE HAGUE, May 5. "It la a dis
appointment,, but the Queen Is saved."
Such Is the general feeling regarding the
sad event of yesterday evening. The ex
treme seriousness of her majesty's condi
tion was closely connected with the
acute Infectious malady from which she
was convalescing, and this complica
tion involved imminent danger of her
death. The operation necessary under
such conditions was performed without
difficulty and. without serious complica
tions, which often arise in such cases,
supervening. Consequently, the Intense
anxiety felt throughout the castle has
been replaced, to some degree, by con
fidence, since the Queen's symptoms con
tinue to Indicate that the danger is no
longer imminent The following bulletin
was issued at Castle Loo this 'morning:
"As has been feared, the Illness which
Queen Wllhelmlna Is suffering put an
end, yesterday evening, to the hopes for a
happy event, the realization whereof wa3
expected in September next. All things
considered, her majesty's condition is
satisfactory at the present moment"
The evening passed quietly at Loo
Palace, but Doctors Roesslng and Pott
remained at the Queen's bedside. Baron
Clifford, master of the Queen's household,
said tonight:
"Her Majesty's fever has not Increased,
and we are quietly and hopefully await
ing the results of a good night's rest for
the Queen. There Is no cause for Im
mediate disquietude." At 11 o'clock Per
Majesty was reported to be sleeping
quietly, and at that hour her condition
was practically unchanged.
The Dutch newspapers, strangely, pub
lish nothing concerning Queen Wllhel
mlna's illness beyond the official bul
letins, an dthe brief expressions of thank
letlns, and the brief expressions of thank
saved. It Is no longer concealed that the
operation which was performed late last
night was most dangerous, and that for
one hour the patient's life hung by a
thread, causing the most terrible sus
pense. Even now, although the Queen's
physicians are exceedingly reticent, It is
known that her condition remains pre
carious, and that everything depends
upon the strength of the patient's con
stitution. There Is reasonable hope for
Her Majesty's recovery, however, pro
vided that hemorrhages are avoided. It
Is now said that Her Majesty's doctors,
being no longer embarrassed by com
plications In their patient's condition, will
be able to adopt more efficient means,. In
tredting the typhoid. It Is also held to
bo exceedingly fortunate that the mishap
of last night occurred when It did in
stead of a fortnight ago. It would then
almost certainly have been fatal. Great
hopes are built on the fact that the
Dutch Premier, Kuyper, was not sum
moned to the palace today. The Dutch
public Is strongly resentful at learning
that the truth of this case has been long
withheld, and that reassuring bulletins
were issued while Her Majesty's condition
was known to be dangerous. This fact
engenders some suspicion, and anxiety as
to the reliability of the bulletins issued to
day. Queen Wllhelmlna, although of robust
appearance, has always been somewhat
delicate, and her health has required very
careful attention.
The more reassuring tone of this morn
ing's official bulletin did little to allay the
apprehensions of the public regarding the
condition of the Queen. The streets were
dotted with despondent groups, anxious
ly 'discussing the extremely scant Infor
mation. The offices of official newspapers
were beselged with inquiries and sur
rounded . by people awaiting bulletins.
Telegrams of inquiry arrived from all
parts of the world. All the foreign diplo
mats either personally called or sent their
secretaries to make Inquiries about Her
Majesty's health.
It transpires that the first disquieting
symptoms In the Queen's condition mani
fested themselves Saturday evening. An
urgent summons was dispatched for an
accoucheur, wh,o remained at her majes
ty's bedside all night long, and summon
ed Dr. Roeslng and Professor Kon
wer, the gynecologist of Utrecht Univer
sity, who arrived at Castle Loo yesterday
afternoon. The symptoms of complica
tions became more and more pronounced,
and the condition of the Queen was con
sidered extremely grave. The Queen's
mother and the Prince Consort did not
dare to leave the bedside. Toward night
fall the patient became worse and suffer
ed Intense pain. The most critical time
was reached between 10:30 and 11 P. M.,
and there was no relaxation to the ex
treme suspense of all present in the sick
room until the doctors, about midnight,
were able to announce that the accouch
ement was over.
This morning's statement that In spite
of her great pain. Her Majesty's condi
tion was relatively satisfactory, consid
erably lessened theanxlety of the Queen's
relatives and attendants. This Jeellng
was Increased by the departure of Pro
fessor Konwer from the castle, and the
wording of the bulletin.

Paine's Celery
Compound
The Great Spring Health Giver
Makes Sick People Well.
A Prominent Clergyman Tells How
He Escaped from His
Deadly Perils.
When Spring comes with its gentle
showers, its balmy air. its bright "sun
shine and burslng buds. It too often brings
to our homes scenes of suffering and phy
sical decay.
The seeds of disease which were imper
ceptibly germinating durirnr the Winter
months, have developed and planted in
the system dangers that now call for our
Instant care and attention. Neglect and
procrastination will only deepen existing
perils and lead to death.
Before the advent of Spring, you must
have noted symptoms, perhaps of Indi
gestion, dyspepsia, rheumatism, neural
gia, kidney disease, liver complaint, func
tional irregularities, or nervous disorders.
Take warning, sufferers! the symptoms
you experience are signals of disease. De
lay not another day; hesitation and in
decision on your part may forever seal
your fate. If you have already made
efforts to banish your troubles by the use
of other medicines and the treatment of
physicians, and these have failed, we
counsel you to put your full trust In that
great dlsease-banlsher, Palne's Celery
Compound. Its use for a week or two will
convince you that you have truly com
menced a new existence. Rev. W. E.
Aldrldge, a leading and prominent clergy
man of Birmingham, Ala,, says:
"I Had been afflicted for 10 years with
what I thought to be heart disease, but
after having the physicians examine me,
I learned that I was almost dead from
Indigestion. They told me they could
give me medicine that would relieve me,
but there was no permanent cure. Then
I began using Palne's Celery Compound,
which gave me Immediate relief, and I
am now well and enjoying good health. I
can recommend Palne's Celery Compound
to be the best medicine for all ailments;
If people will use the Compound freely,
they will have no doctors bills to pay."
