lon of the Philippine question was
mafio la the Sdaate yesterday by Hoar.
He denounced the attitude of the Gov
ernment In the Philippines as one of
the most wicked and foolish chapters In
American history. He urged that tho
United States should -withdraw from the
Philippines and permit the people there
to erect their own government, as had
been done In Cuba. He sharply ar
raigned General Funston .for the meth
ods he pursued In the capture of Asul
saldo, and Intimated strongly that had
the Senate been aware of the facts
Funston might not have been con
firmed ip his recent promotion. Ho
hoped that, as the irrevocable step had
not been taken by the United States,
better counsels would yet prevail, and
. that this Government -would leave the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Soon after the
Senate convened today a resolution offered
fcy Hale was passed directing the
Secretary of the Navy to furnish the Sen
ate with detailed items under the head:
Tho Pay of tho Navy." Another resolu
tion offered by Hale and adopted called
upon the Secretary of the Navy for full
information concerning the depth of water
at the Mare Island Navy-Yard and wheth
er a first-class battle-ship ever had gono
Ao the yard, and also as to the depth of
water at the Puget Sound Navy-Yard,
Consideration of the Philippine Govern
ment bill then was resumed,. Hoar ad
dressing the Senate In opposition to tho
.policy of the Administration in the Philip
pines?. Great interest was manifested in
the utterances of the Massachusetts Sena
tor. Hoar spoke deliberately and confined
himself closely to his manuscript. He
.maintained that this country. is jiot at
war.
"You are fighting for sovereignty," he
said, "you are fighting for the principle
of eternal dominion over that people, and
that la the only question in Issue in the
conflict''
"When it had been determined to resort
to force in the Philippines, he said, the
Government took upon itself the natural
consequences of that decision. The result
of the conflict at arms of such a charac
ter inevitably was that there should be
cruelty on one side and retaliation by
cruelty on the other, and the responsi
bility rested upon those who made the
policy. ;
Hoar said he was to discuss and de
nounce what seemed to him one of. the
most wicked and foolish chapters in his
tory; yet he was compelled to admit, he
said, that the men who were responsible
for it were neither wicked nor foolish.
The ehere which Jt was proposed to give
the Filipinos in the proposed scheme of
government was an admission that many
of them were fit for self-government. The
Tnlted States was fighting to secure a
dependency, not a republic; a government
of our making, and not a government of
the Filipinos' making.
Discussing the testimony taken by the
Philippine Commlesion, Hoar said It had
contained some pregnant admissions.
"What vindicates that which has been done
so far is the saving of the inlands from
anarchy and the material benefit conferred
upon tho Philippine people.'
""What the fathers of the Republic said
and our contury of glorious history were
appealed to in vain. Their lessons fell
upon the ears of men dazzled by military
glory and delirious with the lust of con
quest." He compared the situation In Cuba with
that In the Philippines, and demanded to
know which was the better. This Govern
ment has erected a republic in Cuba and
a despotism In tho Philippines. Six hun
dred millions of treasure and 10,000
lives had been sacrificed in that endeavor.
In the Philippines the American flag had
3een made the emblem of sacrilege and
the burning of homes and of the horror
of the water torture. He believed that
our officers, in general, were humane. But
in some cases they had carried our war
fare with a mixture of American In
genuity and Castilian cruelty.
"What have your Ideals cost you?" in
quired Hoar. "For the Philippine Islands
you have had to repeal the Declaration
of Independence. For Cuba you have had
to reaffirm and give It new luster. For
the Philippine Islands you have had to
convert the Monroe Doctrine into a doc
trine of mere selfishness. For Cuba you
have acted on It and -vindicated:
it. In Cuba you have .-"the - eternal
gratitude of a free people. In the Philip
pines you have the hatred and sullen sub
mission of a subjugated people. From
Cuba you have brought home nothlnir
hut glory. From the Philippines you have.
orougnt nome nothing of glory." -
Referring to .the - cruelties committed
in the Philippines, Hoar said he believed
the American -soldiers were as brave and
humane as ever lived. They had done
simply what always would be done In like
conditions. The chief guilt was upon tfie
laeads of those who created the conditions.
Funston Criticised.
After reviewing briefly the capture of
Agulnaldo by General Funston, the meth
ods of whom he sharply criticised.
Hoar expressed tho belief that the Senate
did not know what It was doing when It
consented to General Funston's promotion
and Intimated that the result might have
been different if the Senate had been
iully cognizant of all the facts. He said:
"I hope and believe they were unknown
to the "War Department I know they
were unknown to President Roosevelt, and
I know they were unknown to President
McKinlcy."
He did not believe that the statement
that the war had been conducted with
unexampled humanity on our part would
be accepted by the people. He denounced
the order alleged to have "been given by
General Smith, and lay particular stress
on the horrors of the recoaceritratlon
camps, which he llke'ned'to the dreadful
scenes In Andersonvllle prison during the
Civil war. He demanded that these things
:ease, and that the Administration declare
on what eternal principle it-would act
in the Philippines. He believed that It
would bo Impossible absolutely to pacify
the Philippines.
In conclusion Hoar believed that better
counsel yet would prevail than -now
seemed to exist Said he: "The irrevoc
able step has not yet been taken. Let
us at least have this to.say: We.' oo,
have kept the faith of tho fathers. We
took Cuba by the hand. We delivered
"her from bondage long bondage. We wel
comed her to the family of nations. We
set mankind an example never beheld be
fore in modern history. We led hesitating
and halting Europe to the. deliverance of I
tneir Deieaguerea junoassaaors m unina.
We marched through a hostile country a
country cruel and barbarous "without
anger or revenge. We returned beneflt-for-injury
and pity for cruelty. We made the
name of America beloved in the East and
in the West We Icept faith with the
Philippine people. Wo kept faith -frith
our own- history. We kept our National
honor unsullied. Tho flag which we re
ceived without a rent we handed- down
without a stain."
Spontaneous applause swept over the
Senate and the galleries at the conclu
sion of the speech. Such a demonstration
is very unusual on the floor of the Sen
ate. So pronounced was It that the pre
siding pOlcer called the attention of the
Senators to the rule prohibiting any ex
pression of approval or disapproval.
Then at 2:55 the Senate took a recess
for SO minutes, in order that Its members
might partake of an Oregon salmon
luncheon given by Senator Mitchell of
Oregon. The proceedings were so unusual
as to give rise to considerable comment
The Senate reconvened at 3:30 P. M. Cul
berson offered a resolution that the Sec
retary of War be directed to send to the
"Snate copies of all of the papers in his
possession which relate to charges against
Lieutenant Arnold and Sergeant Edwards
by Private Andrew K. Weir, Including the
report of Captain P. W. West The reso
lution went over on objection by Spooner.
A. bill .was pased to establish an assay of
fice at Portland, Or.
Teller on Cnbn.
Teller then addressed the Senate on the
Philippine government bill, discussing at
length the action of Congress on tho
establishment of the Republic of Cuba.
The United States was happily out of
Cuba, but he believed It would have been
better had the United States recognized
originally the Independence of Cuba. How
ever, nothing which had occurred in
his public career had given him more

TODAY.
pleasure than the action of the United
States In Cuba. The new republic, he
said, had come to stay. It would main
tain peace and order In Cuba, "but" said
he, "that they will have commotions
there I have no doubt" He declared that
Cuba would become part of the United
States only when the Cuban people indi
cated their desire to enter the Union.
Teller explained, in a colloquy with
Foraker, that the object of his remarks
was to establish the fact that his' reso
lution, known as the Teller resolution
relating to Cuba was absolutely in ac
cord with the sentiment of Congress at
that time.
Hare interrupted, to say that he re
garded It almost as providential that
Teller had had the forethought to pre
pare such a declaration. It had servqd to
mak'e tho United States a 'great restrain
ing force from that day to this. Had it
not been for that declaration he was of
the opinion that Cuba today would not be
free. Personally, he had entertained a
fear that lust of empire would get the
better of our people, and that the Gov
ernment never would leave Cuba. Tho
Senator from Wisconsin (Spooner) had
declared at an opportune moment that
the United States could not afford to have
the Teller resolution transformed into a
legislative He. That statement was a
warning, Hale said, to those who were
plotting secretly against the freedom and
for the annexation or permanent retention
of Cuba. He expressed the belief that had
a declaration that the United States would
not ejiter on a policy of subjugation and
conquest as a result of the Spanish War
been attached to the Teller resolution, it
too, "would have been adopted.
In conclusion, Teller said that the action
of the United States regarding Cuba was
worthy of our great Nation, which, In
this- instance, had put aside greed and con
quest and? had erected a monument among
fiie Tatlons: of the world. The final happy
solution bf-tho Cuban situation had justi
fied, fully the delay which had occurred.
The American flag had come down from
Cuba, but a better one for Cuba had gone
up. The American flag was the best in
the world for America, but not for those
who do not want it He believed that
some day It would come down-from the
Philippines, and that the Filipinos could
raise their own flag, which for them was
the best in the world.
The Senate at 5:40 P. M. went Into
executive session, and soon afterward ad
journed. Consideration of Cahle Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 22. The committee
on rules of the House, by a strictly party
vote, decided today to give a day for the
consideration of the Corliss Pacific cable
bill, and to report a rulo to that effect.
No time was set for the consideration of
this bill, as it will take its place at the
foot of special orders, which take prece
dence by reason of previous report The
rule when reported will provide that
amendments are germane to the bill, which
"will throw the entire subject of an inter
national cable into tho House for consid
eration. It is expected that the bill will
be called up the last part of next week.'
Three days will be given to the considera
tion of the Newlands irrigation bill, two
days for general debate, and one day un

that the irrigation bill will bo reached the
ilrat week in June.

Miss Roosevelt and Miss Care'w, a sis
ter of Mrs. Roosevelt Grouped about
the President were members of his Cabi
net and other distinguished officials, many
accompanied by ladies. As the French
Ambassador presented each fcf the offi
cial guests, the President gave him a
warm grasp of the hand and spoke a
few words of fellcltious welcome. On
both sides there were many expressions
of International good will and lasting
friendship between tho two Republics.
The affair was devoid of formality, how
ver, and no formal addresses were deliv

WILKESBARRETPa.-, May 22. The
tenth day of the anthracite coal miners',
strike passod off vory quietly, not a sin
gle incident developing which would In
any way tend to change the present sit
uation. Most of the members of the
three committees left for their homes
tonight The three district presidents aro
still here. 4 President Mitchell kept close
to his office all day.
Mr. Mitchell was disinclined to talk on
the proposition of calling out the engin
eers, firemen and pumpmen, . unless they
are given an eight-hour day aX the pres
ent wages, except to say that be ex-
pects the mlneowners toporoply with the
demands of the union. Inquiries at the
offices of the big coal companies here to
day failed td elicit any definite Infor
mation as to how the operators will meet
the latest demands of the miners. At the
office of one of the largest companies It
was said no definite plan had yet been
.decided upon. The general Impression
prevails that most of the companies will
refuse thfe demands and that nonunion
men will be Imported to take the places
of the engineers, firemen and pumpmen.
HarcU of Strikers.
TAMAQUA, Pa., May 22. Led by a

ing to tho men at the washery that the
strikers were approaching. Operations
were at once discontinued. When the
strikers were within 50 yards of the

Meyers, one of ,the operators. Mr. Meyers
appealed to them not to damage any
property or to injure any of the men.
He said that he would pledge his ward
that not a pound Qt coal would be washed
until the strike had been settled. The
marchers then appointed a committee to
meet tho employes, and the latter prom
ised not to work until an order to d,o so

OUR RIGHTS IN PHILIPPINES
Bishop Thobarn in Theological Ar
gument "With Senator Patterson.
WASHINGTON, May 22. Bishop Tho
burn, of the Methodist Episcopal church,
stationed in India, was before the Senate
committee on the Philippines today. He
said the American occupation q the Phil
ippines was an act of God and it should
be continued. This led to quite a long
line of questions by Senator Patterson, in
which the bishop was asked whether the
occupation of Cuba was an act of" God,
and when he replied In the afllrmatlve,
Senator Patterson asked If the withdraw
al also was the act of God. "It Is too
soon to answer that" he replied. "Tho
United States may have to go back
there." Senator1' Patterson pursued the
questions to some length, and the bishop
flnallv nronounced them metaphysical.
The line of the bishop's testimony. In
part, Is indicated by the following ques
tions by Senator Patterson and Bishop
Thoburn's responses.
"If a Filipino Government should be es
tablished and you had been asked wheth
er you thought such establishment was
the act of God, would you ask to defer
your opinion?"
"I would not say it was the act of
God."
"You would 'say It was the act of the
devil?"
"No, I would not I would say it was
the act of 'American politicians." He
added that he believed that with an inde
pendent Philippine Government, the Mac-'
cabeties. would be exterminated within 12,
months.
Mr. Patterson asked tho witness If he
believed the subjugation of barbarous or
seml-clvillzed people by the great powera
to be the act of God, ,
"I would not put it that way," he re
plied. "The most enterprising govern
ments are pushing out as individuals; and
governments generally find that they
have to follow their citizens. God rules
and overrules."
"If,". went on Senator Patterson, "a na
tion had gone to the help of a semi-civilized
people and found Itself In control of
their , country, has that nation a right to
overrun it against the will of its people
and to kill and burn or destroy to accom
plish Its purposes?"
"Do you mean that question seriously?"
the 'bishop asked, and. when Senator Pat
terspn said he did, the bishop replied that
jt wa3 very difficult to answer It serious
ly,, for the reason that "what Js right In
onecase may bp wrong in another."
"Does man determine what is right and
what Is wrong?" asked Senator Patter
son. ,, This question was met by another from
the bishop. "Is this," he asked, Van .ex
amination In metaphysics or in theol
ogy?" "Yqu volunteered to say that God had
put us in the Philippines,' said Senator
Patterson, and he insisted on a Teply.
Bishop Thoburn I cannot very well -ols-cuss
theological questions here, but if I
can give you any information I shall be
glad to do so.
In response to questions from Senator
Carmack, Bishop Thoburn expressed the
opinion that the Philippine people are
better disposed toward American mission
aries than they were at the close of the
Spanish War. In proof of this statement
he said that there Is now an attendance
of 12,000 people at the Methodist Church
In Manila, and that both in that city and
the outlying provinces It is almost im
possible to meet the demand for teachers
and preachers. Bishop Thoburn said that
he visited Manila for two weeks in March,
1SS9, and again In March, 1SC0, for one
week. When the witness said he thought
the United States was In the Philippines
under circumstances which would not
permit it to leave, Senator Dubois object
ed and asked for a statement as to the
moral and Intellectual capacities of the
Filipinos.
"In many respects," replied the witness,
"they are like the American Indians.
There is no coherence among them. Thoy
are divided into tribes, and the biggest
man among them is generally recognized
as a Sultan. They are bright and quick
"but not profound, and I am afraid, they
ore treacherous."
Senator Beverldge brought out tho fact
that tho witness had resided for 43 yearB
in the Straits Settlements, and asked him
for his opinion of the capacity of the
Malay for self-government
"I think they are- very defective," he
said. "It would be a crime, in my opin
ion, to remove the present American re
straints in the Philippines."
In response to questions by Senator Cul
berson. Bishop Thoburn said he believed
tho Filipinos should have a protectorate
after the manner of the British protec
torate. Tho bishop said he did not be
lieve tha originally the American Gov
ernment had, when Admiral Dewey went
to Manila, any intention of taking con
trol of the Philippines. President Mc
Klnley, he said, had told him that he had
tried In every way possible to avoid the
annexation of the Philippines.

DEATH BY SLOW TORTURE
A"WFUI PUNISHMENT OK A NEGRO
FIEXD IN TEXAS.
Many Women Crowd Around to See
the Wretch Perlsn nt
t the Stake.
IiONGVJLEW, Tex., May 22. A man
hunt which had been in progress since
Saturday ended today In the burning at
the stake of Dudley Morgan, colored, who
assaulted Mrs. McKee, wife of a Texas
& Pacific section, foreman at Lansing,
Tex.
When It was learned that the negro had
been captured and wa3 being taken to
Lansing, the excitement of the people
knew no bounds. By 11 o'clock this
morning great crowds had gathered at
the Lansing switch, and arrangements
were made to burn the negro. Juat before
11 o'clock the train bearing the prisoner
and his captors arrived In Marshall and
was met by a great crowd of people.
Many boarded the train at Hallville, and
.when It arrived at Xansing every avail
able place on It was occupied. Waiting at
Lansing was another large crowd from
Longvlew and the surrounding country.
The negro was not taken from the train
on tho side where the crowd was, and
vhen the engineer started to pull out,
several rifles were leveled at him and
others of the train crew. They were told
if they moved the train an Inch they
would all be killed.
The prisoner was identified by Mrs. Mc
Kee and several men who "worked on the
section. Mrs. McKee said they had the
right man, and the negro was escorted
by about 200 men armed with rifles to the
place of execution. As he was chained to
.the stake he made a statement In which
he implicated another negro named
Franklin Beard, saying Beanl was to get
part of the money "which was to be stolen.
Morgan confessed to having committed
the crime, and after he had been securely
chained to the stake or rail, with his
hands and legs' tied, members of the mob
began to take railroad ties from a fire al
ready started and burn 'out his eyes.
They then held red-hot and burning em
bers to his neck, and, after burning his
clothes oft, to other parts of his body.
The negro screamed In agony. He was
tortured In a slow and painful manner.
While tho crowd was clamoring for a
slow death, tho negro, writhing and
.groaning, begged plteously to be shot.
Mrs. McKee was brought to .the sceno In
a carriage, accompanied by four other
"women, and an effort was made to get
the carriage close enough for her to see
the negro. The crowd was so dense, how
ever, that this "was impossible. Persons
.held each other on their shoulders, tak
ing turns about looking- at the awful
slghC The negro's head finally dropped,
and the ties were piled around and over
him. In half an hour only the trunk Of
bis body remained.
As soon as the heat would permit, the
crowd, with long sticks, began a grow
some search'for relics. Parts of his skull
and body w-ere'gathered and carried away.
As the fife died down the crowd took the
two men who first caught the negro and
held them over" their heads, -while they
held their Winchesters in their hands and

the fire was applied to the negro's body

who had chased tho negro. '
Section Foreman McKee, husband of the
woman assaulted, applied the match to
the fagots. Many women "were present
from the surrounding" country, buff owing
to tne great crush they had very little
Opportunity to see the negro until the heat
forced the crowd to widen the circle and
the flames leaped over him. The railroads

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.
Its Consideration Resumed in the
Lovrer House.
WASHINGTON, May 22. At the opening-
of the House today Rev. Dr. Couden,
tho chaplain, made reference to the birth
of the new Republic of Cuba. Some rou
tine business was transacted before the
House resumed the consideration of the
immigration bill under the flve-mlnute
rule. The provision In the bill for a tax
of 51 50 on each passenger not a citizen
of the United States or the Dominion of
Canada or Mexico gave rise to fiome dis
cussion. Hepburn (Rep. la.) said that
years ago Immigrants were largely con
fined to Great Britain, Germany and the
northern portions of Europe, and they
were welcome. Now, however, Immigra
tion comes In a large degree from tho
eastern and southern quarters of Europe,
and these immigrants are not desirable
additions to our population. Five years
from now, said Hepburn, these people
will be voters. "I do not want the vot
ing power of the United States diluted
in that way."
Powers (Rep. Me.) offered an amend
ment, which was agreed to, excepting
citizens of the Republic of Cuba, as In the
case of Canada and Mexico, from the pay
ment of the tax. An amendment by Shat
tuc (Rep. O.) was agreed to which In
cluded within the tax provision passengers
coming Ho the United States "by any rail
way or any mode of transportation from
foreign contiguous territory to-the United
States." Another amendment was adopted
extending the exclusion provision to those
aliens who have heen within one year of
the date of the .application for admission
to the United States deported under offers,
solicitations, promises or agreements to
perform labor or service of some kind
therein.
One amendment by Rucker (Dem. Mo.)
was adopted, providing that the provisions
of law applicable to contract labor shall
not be held .to exclude professional actors,
lecturers, singers, ministers of any relig
ious denomination, professors df colleges
or seminaries, persons belonging to any
recognized profession, or persons em
ployed strictly as personal or domestic
servants.
Shattuc made a point .of order against
an amendment by Underwood (Dem. Ala.)
embodying an educational ' test for Im
migrants, which the chair overruled. Un
derwood then urged the necessity for the
adoption of such a provision. Insisting

that the steamship companies would see
to It that the passengers could pass the
test, if they knew they would have to'
carry them back unless they could. Shat
tuc and Kleberg (Dem. Tex.) opposed the
amendment. The former sent to the desk
an amendment to that of Underwood,
which he-said would get around treaty
rights and at the same time make the
rule applicable at the places It was de
sired to touch. It provides that all per
sons, whether able to read the English
language or some other language, or not
able to do so, who shall enter the United
States except at the seaports thereof, or
at Vancouver, Me., Newport or St, Albans,
Vt; Platsburg, Niagara Falls or Buf

Mich; Pembina, N. D.; Sumas, Wash.;
Laredo, El Paso, or Eagle Pass, Tex.,
or Nogales, Ariz., shall be adjudged to
have entered the country unlawfully, and
shall be. deported as by law provided.
After a long discussion the Shattuc
amendment was adopted, and the. Under
wood amendment, as amended, also was
adopted. The bill was then laid aside un
til next week.
The Senate amendments to the pmnibus
public building bill were disagreed to and
the bill went to conference.
An amendment to the rules was adopted,
providing that before conference reports
are considered In the House, they shall
first be printed In the Congressional Rec
ord. At 5:10 o'clock the House adjourned.
