MAY GUT OFF TRADE WITH CHINA
Warn the United State Against
A-rrakcnlngr tlie Oriental Dragon
Forcible Reply by Sen
ator Bcve'ridge.
Dubois, of Idiho, spoke In the Senate
yesterday on the Philippine bllL He
confined himself almost entirely to a
discussion of the commercial and In
dustrial aspects of the Philippine ques
tion, his purpose being to show that It
would be a dlsadantage to the people
of this country to retain the Islands.
An earnest and forcible reply to Dubois
was made bj Beveridge, of Indiana,
who contended that the development of
China's resources would be of advan
tage In trade and commerce to the
United States, as the Industrial devel-'
opment of other nations had been.

WASHINGTON. May 23. Soon after the
Senate convened today. Hale, from the
appropriations committee, reported a bill
making additional appropriations sup
plying urgent deficiencies in the appro
priations for the present fiscal ear. As
the bill passed the House it carried an ap
propriation of SS1.500, and the Senate com
mittee added $98,500. The principal addi
tions were for printing for the Navy and
Interior Departments. The bill was passed.
Stewart, chairman of the Indian af
fairs committee, offered a joint res
olution which, he said, met some objec
tions of the President to the Indian ap
propriation bill. The resolution provided
for the modification of certain provisions
of the Indian appropriation bill relating
to the making of allotments to the Indians
of the Spokane Indian reservation; the
payment to certain Indians of an amount
aggregating $70,064, and to the settlement
of the Indian lands. The resolution was
passed.
At the conclusion of the morning busi
ness, the Army appropriation bill, with
the message of the House asking for a
conference, with Instructions to its confer
ees not to agree to the Senate amendments
relating to the construction of barracks
and quarters at established military posts,
thus striking out the appropriation for
euch buildings In Manila, was laid before
the Senate.
Proctor, in charge of the bill, said it was
a new and unusual condition presented.
To bring the matter up he moved that the
Senate agree to the conference asked.
Spooner said it was of the utmost .con
sequence that there should be the utmost
harmony between the two branches of
Congress, but It was just as necessary
that there should be full and free confer
ences. He thought the procedure of the
House was inadmissible, and If the Sen
ate acquiesced now In the proposition
made, there would be no end to the trou
ble which would arise.
The conference report was debated at
some length, Hoir, Pettus, Allison, Cock
rcll. Teller and Lodge taking Jart. In the
discussion. Teller thought the main point
at issue was the right of the Senate to
make amendments to the bill. He re
garded the action of the House as dis
courteous and disrespectful. The confer
ence report was not disposed of.
The Senate agreed to a conference with
the House on the omnibus public build
ing bill.
Speech, by Dubois.
At 2 o'clock the Philippine Government
bill -wis taken up and Dubois, one of the
minority members of the committee, ad
dressed the Senate in opposition to the
present policy of the Government in the
Philippines. Dubois said the Republican
policy was to "hold the Islands for all
time as a colony and to exploit them for
the advantage and gain of our own peo
ple. The minority Intend to give the peo
ple an independent government and to
turn the islands over to them when they
have established their own government."
He was satisfied that there was great
danger to the white labor of the United
States attendant upon the development of
industrial activity by this Government In
the Philippines, and declared that the
United States could not compete with
Japan for the Oriental trade. China, also,
was a menace, in his opinion, to the su
premacy of the United States in Oriental
tfade.
The large exportation of flour from the
United States to the Orient, he thought,
had misled people into believing that we
could establish a large trade. This was
ah idle dream. He believed that it would
he but a short time until all the wheat
needed In China would be raised by Chi
nese. "The- dragon is sleeping quietly now,"
said Dubois. "The monster Is inert, sur
rounded with a conservatism of centuries,
liooking to the Interest of the white la
boring race of the world, are we pursujng
a wise course in awakening this sleeping
dragon?"
Dubois believed there was no hope of
profitable trade relations with the Orient
or the Philippines if the islands were
managed and exploited as contemplated
in the pending bill. A few individuals
might reap a profit, but it would be at an
enormous expense to the United States,
and especially to the laborers, the manu
facturers and the farmers.
Dubois declared that the feature of ihe
bill which permitted corporations to take
up 5000 acres of land In the Philippines
for agricultural purposes ought to be
stricken out, he believing that under it
the richest lands ultimately would fall
into the hands of the great syndicates,
thus encouraging a tremendous produc
tion of cane sugar, cotton and tobacco.
Agricultural development would induce
industrial activity and manufacturing es
tablishments would spring up and com
pete with us not only for the trade of the
Islands, but also for China and the Straits
Settlements, and eventually, owing to
cheap labor, would compete with our own
manufactured goods in all parts of the
world.
The total trade of the United States
with the Philippine Islands, he said, was
about $5,000,000 a year. We had spent
more money in the Philippine War than
all the trade of the Islands with the
united States would amount to in 150
years, and every day we remained in the
islands our loss would be increased.
Dubois asserted that within six months
after Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma
were admitted to statehood, the profit to
the manufacturers of the United States
in their trade with any one of the new
states would be greater than the com
bined profits on all of their trade with the
Philippines and other Oriental countries.
Beveridge declared that the whole ar
gument of the Idaho Senator had been
made for the purpose, of frightening the
American people with the dragon of
China. Dubois had maintained that when
China adopted modern methods in the de
velopment of its resources, it would sup
ply not only Its own needs, but those of
the world. If that were true, Beveridge
held then it would be true that tho
United States ought not to encourage the
development of any country. He urged
that that was not true. The exports to
China from outside countries amounted
to about $250,000,000 a year, and he be
lieved that it would be possible easily
for the United States to secure one-half
of that trade. The Philippines, he main
tained, were a door to the Chinese trade.
Bveridce said tha. Great Britain sold
to her dependencies each year products
amounting t?$5.OO0,OOO,OOO, and ho felt that
that sort of trade was worth striving
for.
jCarmack pointed out that Great Brit
ain's trade had been declining, while that
of the United States had constantly been
increasing.
Admitting that fact, Beveridge .said the
reason for it was that "Great Britain, hav
ing long enjoyed a monopoly of the ex-port-trade
to her dependencies, had grown
careless, and other nations the United
States and Germany more active and -energetic,
and enterprising, slowly had been
undermining England's foreign trade.
Hoar inquired of Beveridge if Great
Britain had a larger export trade with
her dependencies or with free nations.
Beveridge replied that tho trade was
greater with "free nations" because only
of the lower consuming power of the de
pendencies. Dubois, in his speech, having contended
that if Governor Taf t should die or other
members, of the present able Philippine
Commission should pass away, it would
be difficult to supply their places with
equally excellent and patriotic men, Bev
eridge said: "There is another Taft not
far away. He will be here'ln a few days.
Leonard Wood Is another Taft. He meets
all the requirements of a great adminis
trative officer." He mentioned ah?o Luke
Wright, a member of the Philippine Com
mission, as able to take up the work of
Governor Taft if the latter should relin
quish it.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.
PENSION LEGISLATION.
The House Devotes the Day to Pri
vate Bills.
WASHINGTON, May 23 Upon the con
vening of the House today, Wadsworth
(Rep. N. T.) presented the conference re
port upon the agricultural bill for print
ing the record, according to the rule yes
terday, and gave notice that he would call
It up on Monday next.
The bill to redlvlde the District of Alas
ka into three recording and judicial dis
tricts was passed.
The House disagreed to the Senate
amendments to the bill to prevent the
false branding or making of food or dairy
products, and asked for a conference.
The House then proceeded to the con
sideration of private pension bills. Loud
(Rep. Cal.) declared that pension legisla
tion had gone far bevond the point of
reason -and had become a disgrace to this
legislative body. He said it was not prac
tical for the committee reporting these
bills to consider them carefully, as 1163
had been received at this session and
passed wjthln a total of -IS hours. Loud's
remarks brought out several emphatic
protests. Chairman Sulloway, of the com
mittee, asserted that the bills had the
most careful attention. He paid a trib
ute to the old soldiers as the warriors of
the Nation, who should be protected in
their old age and never be permitted to
enter an alms institution.
Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.) and Miers (Dem.
Ind.) also paid glowing tributes to the old
soldiers. Mlers said it was an alterna
tive between this legislation arid "over
the hills to the poorhouse." Sulzer em
phatically protested against the slander
ing of the men who followed the flag, and
declared that it was the duty of every
patriotic Representative to stand behind
the Old soldier.
A spirited contest occurred between Sul
zer and Hull (Rep. la.), when tho latter
sought to defeat one of Sulzcr's relief
bills to relieve the charge of desertion
against Michael Atullett, The New York
member declared that Hull, as chairman
of the military committee, was seeking to
punish him for a vote on one of the mil
itary bills. Hull denied any such purpose
and asserted that Sulzer's relief bill was
without merit and had been reported as a
personal favor, and when the House sid
ed with Sulzer, Hull prevented final action
by raising the point of no quorum. In all,
105 bills for private pensions, relief, eic.,
were passed. '
The House at 135 P. M. adjourned until
Monday.

them valuable service in pacifying several

only permanently pacified town In the

President, to beg of you to give us Jus

of the estate were arrested they were
cruelly beaten, one of them dying as a
result of the blows inflicted by the sol
diers. Among the papers Is the report on the
case of Charles B. Magoon. law officer of
the Division of Insular Affairs of the
Philippine 'Islands, War Department, who
recommendsd that the petition be not
granted, for the following reasons i First.
that under the conditions existing In Ba-1
langas province m December, 1901, Briga.
dier-General Bell, in the instance under
consideration, exercised a lawful author
ity in a lawful manner; second, that the
showing made by the papers filed herein
Is not sufficient to overthrow the pre
sumption that the action takon by the
authorities in Batangas was warranted
by the facts and the necessities of the
military situation.
The President's position in the matter
is made known through the following nqte
from Secretary Cortelyou to Mrs. Mabql
Warren, of Boston, under date of April 23:
"The President has received your note
of the 22d inst. and requests me 'to say in
reply that he has gone carefully over
with the War Department the matter of
which you write, having been in corre
spondence with the authorities at Manila
and in consultation with Governor Taft
here, and that he does not think anvthlnrr
can properly be done. He will see Sec- J
retary Root on his return from Cuba, but
there appears to be a consensus of opin
ion that no Injustice was done."
THE PHILIPPINE HEARING.
Bishop Thoburn Continues His Testi
mony Before Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON. May 23,-Blshop Tho
burn continued his testimony before tho
Philippine committee of the Senate today.
Ho "was examined about various phases of
the situation and especially as to the right
of the United States to dominate the
Philippines. He said in reply to one ques
tion that chaos would result If England
were to withdraw from India. England
had advanced civilization in the far East,
Hong Kong and other places were made
great points of commerce. Hohg Kong was,
he eald, better governed than Chicago,
and human life was safer there than in
Chicago. He said the United States had
more rights in the Philippines than It had
over the American Indians, because the
islands were acquired by treaty.
Bishop Thoburn expressed the opinion
that the greater protection to personal
rights in Hong Kong than in Chicago is
due to the fact that the government has
a stronger army in Hong Kong than in
Chicago. "As a. matter of fact,' he said,
"we all khow that in Chicago a man Is
not safe In walking the streets at night,
while be is so In Hong Kong."
The bishop expressed the opinion that
Agulnaldo could not have subjugated the
Islands Jf left alone In his rebellion against
Spain He also said that thore would have
been civil war In the -Philippines in case
Agulnaldo had been victorious In his war
with the United States.
The matter of the witness oplnlo'a as
to our right by force to subjugate another
people was gone into" at length by. Sena
tor Culberson, and when the witness paid,
"If you refSr to the -Philippine Islands, I
would say that we have not subjugated
them; they came to- us -by treaty," the
Senator asked: "Don't-you .know that at
the time of the war with S$aln the Fili
pino people were In revolt against the
Spanish government?"
"That was true at Manila, but not else
where." "Well, then, don't you think that the
consent of the people themselc3 should
have" been secured before we .assumed the
responsibility of their government?"
"I don't think It safe to make any er
tort to get their consent until affairs" are
better established than at present The
average Filipino would not know what to
say if approached on the subject. If he
should speak out for American rule, h is
liable to have his throat cut."
Senator Carmack asked a -number of
questions concerning the comparative suc
cess of American missionaries in Asia.
The bishop replied that he did not con
sider their success due entirely to the
fact that heretofore, the United States has
not been a Nation of conquest, and de
clared It was due largely to the popular
manners of" the Americans. They are, he
said, less pompous. In China the Ameri.
cans have, he said, always been popular,

THE BROOM AS AN ETVIBLEM OF VIC

Hume (History of England) says at the
end of 1632:
"In this action the Dutch had the ad-
vantage, and night came opportunely to
save the English fleet- After this virtnrv

the hoisting of a broom at the masthead
was not something new, but already In
practice since two centuries; and Hume
also says that It was done after the vic
tory. The words of Mr. Cornish imply
tha.t Tromp came on the coasts of Eng
land as boasting of what he Intended to
do, while history tells uo plainly that
the English fleet had left the field of bat
tle when the broom was hoisted, which
makes a great difference.
The popular conception of the broom,
when carried aloft, 13 that it is an em
blem of victory.
The p. R. & N. Co.'s "Portland-Chicago
Special" (note the name) is entitled to
carry the broom, because It is the peer of
any train to the Pacidc Coast in the mat
ter of equipment, and reaches Chicago
