WASHINGTON, May 28. When the Sen
ate convened the clerk read an announce
ment from the acting President Pro Tern.,
Piatt (Conn.), appointing Gallinger to act
as Presldet Pro Tem. at today's session.
Hoar stated that Piatt and the President
Pro Tem., Frye, in their official capacities
were In attendance upon the funeral of
Lord Pauncefote. and on his motion the
Senate took a recess until 2 o'clock.
Cardinal Gibbons was one of the visitors
In the reserved gallery.
When the Senato reconvened at 2 o'clock
Warren presented the conference report
on the omnuibus public buildings bill, and
It was agreed to. A joint resolution was
passed providing for the printing of u.000
copies of the proceedings on the unveiling
of the statue of Count de Rochambeau.
A bill was passed providing for the oc
cupancy by the G. A, R. of the new pub
lic printing building during the National
encampment in October.
"Consideration then was resumed of the
Philippine Government bill. Lodge, In
charge of the bill, asked that a time be
lixed for a vote on the measure.
Culberson inquired if Lodge could give
any idea of the scope of the inquiry now
being made by the Philippine committee,
and when the inquiry would be concluded.
Lodge said he thought the Inquiry -would
continue as Jong as the session should last.
"Unaffected by the disposition of the
pending bill?" inquired Culberson.
Entirely unaffected by the disposition
of the bill." replied Lodge.
Some discussion followed as to the time
of taking the final vote on the bill. It
was agreed then that the Senate would
meet at 11 A. M. Thursday, Saturday,
Monday and Tuesday next; that the de
bate Monday and Tuesday should be lim
ited to 15-mlnute speeches, and that the
nnal vote on the bill and -amendments
should be taken at 4 o'clock next Tues
day. Hoar presented a letter from General
M. P. Miller, United States Army, cor
recting what he said was an error In a
recent speech of Hoar, who had said that
General Miller "notoriously did want an
attack, and Agulnaldo met it with speedy
defiance," the reference being to the Is
suance by General Miller of President Mc
Jvinley's proclamation, a part of which
was suppressed by General Otis. In his
letter, General Miller said Hoar was In
error. He said General Otis had not In
formed him that the President's procla
mation was not to be Issued in full. He
was not anxious for a fight, and always
had ndvlsed the Filipinos to accept the
sovereignty of the United States, as he
believed the United States would grant
them their reasonable desires. Hoar said
the letter evidently was that of a sincere
and honest gentleman. He absolutely
acquitted General Miller of publishing the
proclamation in order to bring on hostili
ties. Lodge then offered some amendments
to the bill, all being of a minor character,
except those reducing the amount of land
to be taken up by one person from 160
acres to 40 acres. The amendments were
agreed to.
Lodge said the Philippine committee had
not determined yet what, change, if any,
should be made in the provision of the
bill enabling a corporation to acquire BOOO
acres of land. He thought some change
In the provision might be made, but what
it would be he could not say.
Burrows then addressed the Senate on
the general features of the pending bill.
He said he believed the time had come
when the future course of this Govern
ment as to the islands must be determined.
If the present course is to be followed, be
thought that fact couldd not be too clearly
pointed out. He believed the enactment
of the measure of the majority would pro
mote the Interests of the Filipinos and
advance th prosperity of the islands.
Burrows said he did not believe that the
Filipinos were suited for self-government.
If he thought they were, he would unhes
itatingly urge that independence be grant
ed them. Burrows, In conclusion, main
tained that the adoption of the majority
report on this bill was the only safe and
honorable course for the United States
to take.
The Senate passed the following hills:
Authorizing the Board of Supervisors of
Santa Cruz County, Arizona, to issue
bonds for the erection of a Courthouse and
Jail; 'granting title to the town of Juneau,
Alaska, to lands occupied for school pur
poses, and for other purposes; adjusting
certain conflicts respecting state school
indemnity selections In lieu of school sec
tions In abandoned military reservations.
The Senate then, at 5:30 P. 31.. went into
executive session, and soon afterward ad
journed. SILVER DEBATE IX THE HOUSE.
Democrats Oppose Hill's Subsidiary
Coinage Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 28. The House
spent the day debating the bill to Increase
the subsidiary coinage by coining the sil
ver bullion in the Treasury and to ro
coln standard silver dollars as the pub
lic necessities may require. The limit of
subsidiary coinage is now $103,000,000. The
bill Increases this- toan indefinite amount
In the discretion of the Secretary of the
Treasury- The bill aroused the opposi
tion of the Democrats, who claimed it was
only a step in the direction of the com
plete striking down of the silver dollar.
The debate drifted into a general dlscus
, slon of the silver question. Very little in
terest was shown, and Cochran (Dem.
Mo.) twice- made the point that no quorum
"was present. Newlands (Rep. Nev.) final
ly offered an amendment to make subsid
iary silver a legal tender, and this amend
ment was pending when the House ad
journed. Speaker Henderson "attended the funeral
of LofQ Pauncefote, and by his designa
tion Dalzell 4Rep.. Pa.) presided over the
deliberations of the House. Some routine
business was transacted before the' reg
ular order was demanded
A bill was passed to authorize the re
linquishment to the United States of pat
ent lands and claims within the, limits of
Sequoia, Tosemlte, and General Grant
National Parks. '
The regular order then being demanded,
a vote 'was taken upon adoption of the
rule for the consideration of the bill
to Increase the subsidiary silver coinage,
which was pending when the House ad
journed yesterday. The rule was adopted
99 to 75. Under Its terms two hours
were allowed for general debate.
Hill (Rep. Conn.), who had charge of
the bill, expressed surprise at the criti
cism of the measure Indulged In by Shaf
roth yesterday. There seemed to be a
misunderstanding, he said, as to the scope
of the bill. It had nothing to do with the
question of exchange, abolition or re
demption of silver dollars contained in the
Fowler bllL It covered only the subject
of subsidiary coinage, and was so inno
cent that the minority had not seen fit to
attack It In their report. It provided for
the coinage of the silver bullion In the
Treasury and the recolnage of silver dol
lars Into subsidiary coin as public neces
sities might require. The amount of bul
lion In the treasury was 44,520,310 ounces,
its coinage value In dollars being 557,
562.3S9, and in subsidiary coins. $61,546,100.
In the course of his remarks Hill -declared
that the legal tender silver dollars
had cost the Government $350,000,000 in the"
last 20 years, which, he argued, was con
vincing proof of the wisdom of their re
tirement. Bell (Pop. Colo.) opened against the
bill. He declared that every gfxat panic
from which the country had suffered had
been precipitated by "currency tinker
era" like Hill. The ultimate act of Hill
and his friends, he said, was to create an
all-powerful banking trust, which would
control the issue of paper currency. If
this programme is carried out, he said,
all the currency would disappear except
gold and bank paper. The pending bill,
he said, is one of three and the only one
the Republicans dare pass on the face of
the Congressional elections.
Shallenberger (Pop. Neb.) also contended
that the pending bill is only the first step
In the direction of creating a monopoly.
Newlands (Pop. Nev.) and Lewis (Dem.
Ga.) also opposed the bill. The general
debate then was closed and the bill read
for amendment undor the five-minute -ule.
Smith (Rep. la.) argued In support of
the bill that instead of being a measure
of contraction, it would Increase the
amount of money In circulation to the
extent of the silver bullion coined (over
J60.000.000).
Grow (Rep. Pa.) offered an amendment
providing that the subsidiary coins should
-consist of half dollars, quarter dollars,
10 and 5-cent pieces, of proportionate parts
otlZtt grains.
To this amendment Newlands offered an
amendment providing that such coins
should be a full legal tender for all debs,
public and private. Hill made the point
of order that the amendment to the
amendment was not germane. The point
of order was overruled. Cochran (Rep.
Mo.) supported the Newlands amendment,
at the same time denouncing the bill. He
warned the members of the majority that
the time would come In thejr defense of
the proposed legislation when they would
be as "Jack rabbits before the hounds."
Without action on either amendment,
the House, at 4:50 P. M., adjourned.
GOOD IMMIGRATION BIi.li.
House aiensure Is Aimed Largely at
Undesirable Classes.
WASHINGTON, May 2S. The immigra
tion bill passed by the House yesterday
Is not all that could be wished, hut it Is
an Improvement over former legislation.
The Prohibitionists have triumphed in se
curing the amendments which are hound
to stay In if the bill passes the Senate.
It will even go to the extent of prohibit
ing the sale of liquor In the Capitol, but
that prohibition tls only a question of
time anyway, as an agitation had begun
which would stop liquor selling in tho
Senate and House 'restaurants. The bill
Is largely aimed at undesirable Immi
grants, and if the provision against an
archists and the worst classes 'can bo en
forced, It will be of considerable advan
tage. The educational test. It Is expected,
will keep out the undesirable Immigrants
of Southern Europe, but It is said will not
affect more than 5 per cent of those from
Northern Europe, including the Germans
and Scandinavians, who are generally wel
comed as the very best of foreign immi
grants. The Senate has heretofore passed
a restrictive immigration bill, and it Is
only a question whether time can bo se
cured In the Senate for the consideration
of the Houee bill. The steamship com
panies are all opposing the measure, and
it may be defeated by indirection, but
the demand for restriction is very great,
and the bill will be urged with great force
in the Senate.
Alaska Naval Coaling? Station.
The Secretary of the Interior is pre
paring a proclamation to be signed by the
President transferring to the Navy De
partment a part of the present lighthouse
reservation on Amakank Island, Alaska,
near Dutch Hatbor, to bo used as a naval
coaling station. It la proposed to build
up a coaling station at this point for the
accommodation of the ships doing patrol
duty in Alaskan waters, as well as for
transports and other Government ships.

REPUBLICANS TIRED OF IT.
Philippine Debate Wns Making Too
Many Democratic "Leaders."
WASHINGTON, May 23. The minority
which has been preventing the passage of
the Philippine bill so long has concluded
that It would be better to come down
rather than to have the Senate resort to
unusual methods of forcing the passage of
the bllL The Republicans had become
tired of the. opposition, which evidently
was being made simply .for the purpose
of killing time and to give a few Demo
cratic Senators an opportunity to pose as
leaders in that body. Hence the agree
ment today to reach a vote next week.

The resolutions- indorse the administra
tion of Governor George K. Nash and the
state officials, commend the 75th general
assembly for its reduction of taxation
upon real and personal property, warmly
commend Senators Foraker and Hanna,
Indorse tMe record of Republican Con
gresses, especially those since the Inaugu
ration of William McKlnley, call, attention
to th3 general prosperity which followed
hi first election to the Presidency, and
continue:
"So great Is the country's prosperity,
and so ample the revenue under the Dlngr
ley tariff law, that the present Republi
can Congress has been able to redeem
party pledges by repealing war revenues
aggregating $110,000,000 annually, thus re
duclrfc taxation to a peace basis, while
the Army Is still on a war footing.
"Democratic success would threaten the
destruction 6f tho prospective system un
der which our splendid prosperity has
come, and the mero shadow of impending
free trad would destroy confidence, un
settle business, alarm Industrial Inter
ests and Immediately check the demand
for labor.
Labor and Capital.
"No question -now pressing for attention
can be of greater Importance .than that
which concerns the Interests of capital
and labor, and we pledge ourselves to the
protection of these two servants of civ
ilization Labor 13 the superior of capi
tal and deserves much more considera
tion. To secure for labor the considera
tion it deserves, to uphold the dignity of
toll; to create a healthy opinion on the
subject of labor and the justice of its
receiving a full aharo of the value It cre
ates, to bring labor and capital together
on common g round in the adjustment of
such questions as may concern these two
great factors in production, It is neces
sary that labor should be Intelligently
organized. We bollove In fewer hours and
larger Tewards for labor and favor such
laws as will harmonize the Interests of
labor and capital and tend to lighten
the burden of toll."
The resolutions commend Congress for
re-enacting the Chinese exclusion law, fa
vor a continuation or the liberal pension
policy Inaugurated by the Republican
party; advocate the extension of the pos
tal rural free delivery service, "wherever
Its extension may be justified," commend
a substantial and uninterrupted Increase
of the "Navy and urge legislation that will
expedite construction of tho Isthmian
Canal.
"Trusts: We recognize the necessity
of co-operation in order to meet new con?,
dltlons in the industrial world and- -to
compete successfully for the world's mar
kets; but all combinations that stifle
competition, control prices, limit produc
tion, or unduly Increase profits br values,
and especially when they raise the prices
of the necessities of life, are opposed to
public policy and should be repressed
with a strong hand.
"The Republican party la the only one
that has dealt courageously and honestly
with the trust question. It enaoted, as
early as 1890,. a law framed by that dis
tinguished statesman, John Sherman, to
prohibit and. punish combinations in re
straint of trade, the control of wares or
the advancement of prices. This act,
framed by a Republican statesman,
passed by a Republican Congress and
elgned by a Republican President; has
proved beneficial, preventing abuses
where abuses were found to exist, and
is now being vigorously upheld by a Re
publican Administration in tho prosecu
tion or unlawful combinations. Subse
quent to the enactment of this law, the
Democratic party obtained control of both
branches of Congress and the Presidency.
It constantly asserted hostility to trusts
but failed to place upon the statute books
a single line of legislation which would
aid In their control.
"Cuba: We congratulate the new Re
public of Cuba upon the final fruition
of the hopes and struggles of her people
for freedom and Independence. We wel
come her to he family of nations. We
wish her success and prosperity, peace
and happiness. For such part as we as
a nation have had in assisting her to
achieve independence, we ask no guerdon
save that which we have the gratitude
of a free people. Furthermore, we believe
it Is due alike to Cuba and "to ourselves,
that, in accordance with the Republican
principle of reciprocity, proper and rea
sonable trade concessions shall be made
by our Government to Cuba, 4n return for
her concessions upon American products,
su us to Denent tne trade of both coun
tries, ana to ruliy and generously carry
out every obligation of our National
nonor. whether epressed or implied.
"Annexation: Additions to our territory
since 1B37 have been fully justified, both
by Improved conditions In the Islands
themselves and the Improved commercial
relations between them and. the United
States. These Islands will not be ex
ploited for the gain of adventurers, but
will be developed for the mutual benefit of
their own people and honest Investors,
and will In time make the United States a
complete commercial entity, capable of

Philippines and the Army.
"Philippines: We congratulate the "Pres
ident and the Army upon the satisfactory
progress made In the Philippines In sup
pressing the Insurrection and establishing
order, and we unqualifiedly indorse the
policy of our Government In those islands.
The war with Spain was forced on us
against ocr will, and the Phlijvplnes came
to us as one of the results of that con
flict. We are responsible for peace and or
der In the islands,, and our sovereignty
must be as absolute as our responsibility.
Our title to the Islands Is as perfect as
was that of Spain after nearly 400 years
of undisputed possession. We will give
their peopl better government, better
rchools, more civil and political rights,
and a higher civilization and broader free
dom than s possible for them In any
other way. Our flag is in the Philippines
and there It will remain.
"The Armyr Tho American Army has
taken up a work of established order and
maintaining authority In the distant Phil
ippines, and while we deplore and severely
condemn any Instances of cnioitv nhih
may have occurred, we remember that
our soldiers are fighting a barbarous and
treacherous foe, who have often inflicted
most Inhuman and revolting atrocities
upon their prisoners. It Is the Nation's
Army, drawn from every section of -the
country, knowing no politics nor creed,
but fighting the Nation's battles under
the. Nation's flag and we reseat with in
dignation recent Democratic efforts to
drag Its honor In tha dust and to cast re
proach on Its fair name.
"We proudly reaffirm our faith in all the
great cardinal principles of the Republican
partv and our allegiance to the declara
tions adopted by the last Republican Na
tional, Convention and to the candidates
named by tills convenUo.fi we pledge cur
loyal support."
Strigent laws against attempts on the
life of the President are demanded, and
lynchlngs and mob violence denounced.
The Nominations.
Secretary of State li C Laylln was re
nominated without opposition.
For Supreme Judge, Wi'llam B. Crew;
of McCom.ellsvllle, was .nomtriated on the
fifth ballot.
Horace Ankeney wrs. nominated, on tii
second ballot for State Dairy and Eooa
Commissioner.
William Kirtley was nominated for
number of tho State Board of Public
Work.
1 Before tha secretaries could announce
the result of the public- works ballot by
which Mr. Kirtley -was nominated for
member of the board, there were loiia
and repeated calls for Senator Hanna,
and the greatest demonstration of the
convention occurred a he was belny es
corted to the platform. He said:
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow-Republicans;
I thank you most heartily for tnls cordial
reception, and congratulate you most
heartily upon the success of this con
vention. The candidates whom you have
nominated will receive the support of the
Republicans of Ohio unanimously. Your
speakers, Governor Nash and Congress
man Grosvenor, have sounded the key
note of this campaign, one on behalf of
the state and the othr on behalf of the
Nation. These twin luues wilt meet to
gether In common cause and create a
force that will win victory. We had a
motto In the last convention, 'Let well
enough alone.' I propose to offer an
amendment to that, 'Keep on letting well
enough alone
"There has ben consideration of state
affairs and especially of tho work done
by the Legislature of our state, which
will appeal to the people Interested In
sound, economic government; and will
also appeal to those who have felt the
burden of taxation and have sought re
lief and found It. There are questions of
great Interest In this campaign, because
we are called upon to vote for members
Of Congress who shall support our stren
uous President durlhg tne balance of his
administration.
"Of Course, as In all campaigns, there
are Issues which the Democratic party
are trying to make for us upon National
questions. They have talked In the halls
of Cohgress for days and weeks upon a
question which the Republicans of tho
United States settled last year, but we
can pardon them for itr-it Is all they
have left. But how are they making this
issue; standing before the American peo
ple and proclaiming that the policy of
Prcdldent McKin'cy was wrong morally
wrong? Why, Republicans of Ohio, l
blush to have to say that It seems to me
almost an Insult to his memory that such
things could bo said Upon the floor of the
Senate of the United States against a
man whom not only the Republicans of
Ohio, but the Republicans of the Nation,
worship. Shairic upon a party that will
attempt to bring that name Into disrepute

hlra during those trying days when new
questions came up, welt" know how he
wrestled with them prayerfully and In
telligently, that he might do what was best
tor those people on the other side of the
world. Weighing everything in the bal
ance, and praying to his own highest au
thority God he came to the conclusion
that the best thing for us and for them
was that we might extend to them all the
blessings of a free government, controlled,
by a power which knew what free J3pv
ernment meant. That was a pollcv; h&rn

work of humanity and Christianity?
?Jever! In the words of Roosevelt, 'Our
flag is there, and It will stay put.'
"My friends, as we enter upon this con
test in our state, let us remember our
martyred President, and Inspired by the
policies to Which he had devoted his life,
which- Has made this country great and
prosperous, let his spirit guide us, and
under that Inspiration let us so forward

development Is a natural consequence of

At the conclusion of Senator Hanna's
speech, there was another demonstration.
After the adoption of tho eagle as the
party emblem, the state committee was
authorized to fill all" vacancies, and the
convention adjourned.

cut avenue and the adjacent streets, and
stood at rest while the clergymen and
pallbearers entered the embassy build
ing. Tho pallbearers were Herr von Hol
lebcn, the German Ambassador; M. Jules
Cambon, the French .Ambassador; Comte
CassinI, the Russian Ambassador; Senor
Don Manuel de Asplroz the Mexican Am
bassador, and Slgnor Eamondo Mayor des
Planches, the Italian Ambassador: Secre
tary Hay, Speaker Henderson, and Sena
tor O. H. Piatt, the acting President pro
tem. of the Senate. The casket was lifted
up on the shoulders of four brawny sail
ors and as many soldiers, and borno to
the hearse.
When the procession arrived at the
church it halted, while tho remains were
tenderly carried Into the small church.
The dbmhiant Idea In seating the specta
tors was to concentrate the official classes
In the center of the church. President
Roosevelt had tho place of honor at the
right of the central pew. With him sat
Mr. Ralkes, the British Charge, and for
this special occasion the personal repre
sentative of King Jfdward, and Captain
Bell, representing vanada by special des
ignation. To thi yf t of the Presidential
pew were Latyf pauncefote and her three
daughters, tlfc pjpnorable Sybil, Audrey
and Maud The Ambassadors were
placed In Jhe pfiw to the left. The cor
responding pew to the right of the Presi
dent was, occupied by Major Young and
staffin charge of the military portion of
thTfuneral procession. The staff of the
CJrtish Embassy sat to the left of the
Pauncefote ladles.
The Cabinet was accommodated in two
pews directly behind the President's pow,
and the Supreme Court was given similar
accommodation In paws In alignment with
these. The Senate committee on foreign
relations, headed by Senator Cullom, and
the House committee oh foreign affairs,
under the lead of Representative HItt,
were behind the Cabinet, In the right mid
dip pews, apd adjoining them sat Lieutenant-General
Miles and Admiral Dewey
with their staffs, the Assistant Secretaries
of various departments, and the Commis
sioners of the District of Columbia. Tha
space In the rear of these officials was
occupied by officers of the Army and
Navy. In the galleries sat a number of
personal friends and servants of tho
Pauncefote family.
The services at St. John's Church in
their general character were similar
to those which marked the" memorial serv
ice held at the church In honor of the
lato Queen Victoria. The large choir of
40 men and boys took part In the service
at Lady Fauncefote's request, and the
three hymns sung In tha body of the
service were of her personal selection.
The church presented a most beautiful
and impressive picture, while the solemn
ceremonies were In progress. At tho con
clusion of the service the bodybearers car
ried tho casket slowly out, followed by
the two bishops, while the mingled strains
of organ and harp Bounded through the
church.
The entire chancel was filled with mag
nificent floral tributes, Including vast
wreaths of the rarest orchids and Hllea
of the Valley, among which the tribute
of the diplomatic corps was particularly
noticeable, and a design in scarlet im
mortelles, setting out the cross of St.
George, which was sent by tho local and
Natlonal.representatlves of the Sons and
Daughters of St. George. On the cas
ket, which was draped with a time-worn
union jack, there was a spread of lilies
of the valley and orchids, the personal
token of King Edward, and Just behind
it rested a cushion of royal purp'o plush
on which glittered the many orders which
had been bestowed upon the deceased dip
lomat. At tho express wish of the family, tho
escort from the church to the cemetery
was limited to a single squadron of
United States Cavalry. Not even tha
honorary pallbearers were called on to
accompany the remains further than tho
church. The remains were placed In tho
receiving vault, to remain until such time
as they should be conveyed on a United
States warship across the Atlantic to the
ancestral .homo of the late Lord Paunce
fote at Preston.
