KAHN'S SPEECH ON PHILIPPINES
Narrative of .His Tylp to the Island
Agrafnaldo Admitted No Prom

Was Made.
--
Debate on the Philippine "bill contin
ued jesterday In the Hcuse. The speak
ers were cUen close attention, each
side enthusiastically applaudlns Its re
spective orators. Jones (Dem. Va.), tho
ranking minority member of the In
sular affairs committee, concluded hli
sreoch begun Thureday. The other
speakers were Hamilton (Rep. Mich'.)
and Kahn (Rep. Cal.). tor the-blll, and
Patterson (Dem. Tenn.). apalnsj. It.
Kahn'a speech was largely an Interest
ins personal narrative of his experi
ences In the Philippines last Summer.
The Isthmian canal bill was sent to
conference after the Senate amendment
was non-concurred In.
The House reiterated the position it
had taken on the Army appropriation
bill by Ignoring the action of the Sen
ate and sending the bill back to the
Senate, after voting: to adhere to Its dis
agreement to the Senate's objectionable
Army post amendments.
"WASHINGTON, June 20. The House
met at 11 o'clock today, A bill was passed
to recognize the military service of the
officers and enlisted men of the First
Regiment of Ohio Light Artillery. This
regiment served three months at the open
ing of the Civil War, but was never tor
mally mustered into the United States
service.
The consideration of the Philippine civil
government bill was then resumed, and
Jones (Dem. Va.) resumed his speech. He
argued that under the provisions of the
bl J the friar lands, which the Government
wished to purchase, would And their way
into the hands of corporations. He de
clared that in his opinion it would be bet
ter for the Filipino people to live under
the present hybrid rule than to have Im
posed upon them the civil government
proposed by the pending measure, which
would enable that civil government to
dispose of all the valuable franchises in
these islands, to strip the forests of their
timber, and to sell the agricultural lands
to corporations and syndicates.
Jones devoted considerable time to the
question of the ability of the Filipino peo
ple for self-government.
Jones referred to the statement Issued
by Secretary Root yesterday, giving $170,
000,000 as the total cost to the United
States of our control of the Philippines.
He said that in making up the account
he had no doubt the Secretary of War,
the rankest partisan of them all, had ex
cluded every possible item in order to re
duce the amount to a minimum. But even
the astute Secretarj of War, he said, bad
furnished no estimate of the blood our
possession of the Islands had cost. He
thought fully 100.000 Filipinos had per
ished directly or indirectly as a result of
the war waged against them, and that
10.000 American lives had been lost or
wrecked. Jones took up the charges made
against General Smith and Major Waller
of cruelty In Samar.
"Why is it," he asked, addressing the
other side of the chamber, "that you
criticise and court-martial Schley, but you
will not touch a hair on the heads of
those who have confessed to participat
ing in these diabolical outrages? Why
criticise a naval officer and refuse to hear
criticism of an officer in the Army?"
"It is the Indiscriminate criticism of
the Army that we protest against," Inter
jected Steele (Rep. Ind.).
"There has been no such indiscriminate
criticism," answered Williams (Dejn. 111.).
"It has been a recital of specific cases."
"It is not the soldiers who should be
held up to execration," declared Jones,
"but those who ordered such outrages,
and those cowards who seek to smother
them.
Jones was warmly congratulated by his
party colleagues as he closed his speech.
Hamilton Rep. Mich.), also a member
of the insular committee, followed with a
set speech in support of the bill. He con
cluded as follows:
"We are trying to do what no other na
tion tried to do before. We are trying to
give to a detached and undeveloped people
local self-government under the tutelage
and protection of a great world power.
We aro giving, them more than a formal
protectorate. We arc trying to protect
them from themselves within and from In
vasion without, that they may grow in
peace, and prosperity."
At the conclusion of Hamilton's re
marks. Cannon, chairman of the appropri
ations committee, asked unanimous con
sent for the consideration of the confer
ence report on tho sundry civil appropri
ate bill. In urging the necessity fdr
immediate action Cannon expressed the
hope that Congress w ould be able to reach
a final adjournment by July 4.N Patter
son (Dem. Tenn.) objected.
Hull CRep. la.) called up the Army ap
propriation bill. He offered a resolution
to disagree to all the Senate amendments
except 18, 14 and 15. (relating to Army
posts). As to 13 and 14, the resolution
provided that the House adhere to its
disagreement, and as to 15 it recedes and
agrees to the amendment. It was the ac
tion of the House on this bill (Instruct
ing Its conferees) which caused the con
troversy with the Senate regarding the
right to take such action.
Dalzell '(Rep. Pa."), one of the committee
appointed to confer with the Senate on
the subject, explained, that the Parlia
mentary effect of the resolution in declar
ing the House's purpose to adhere to its
disagreement as to the two amendments
was to carry its Insistence one stage fur
ther than the adoption, of the former in
structions to the conferees.
Richardson, the minority leader, who
also was a member of the committee to
confer with the Senate, explained further
that the Senate had Ignored the House's
requert for a conference with instruc
tions to its conferees, and had sent the
bill back with a simple request for a con
ference. The effect of the adoption of the
resolution would be that the House in
turn ignored the Senate and sent the bill
back with a stronger insistence on its
objection to the objectionable Items. It
was not a. surrender, he said; had It been
so he never w'quld have agreed to it. The
resolution was adopted.
Hepburn, chairman of the interstate and
foreign commerce committee, asked unan.
imous consont not to concur in the Sen
ate amendjnent to the Isthmian canal bill
and to agree to the conference asked for
by the Senate.
Burton (Rep. O.) advised none of the
friends of the Spooner amendments to ob
ject. "I regard this," he said, "as mere
formal action. I have the assurance of
the gentleman from Iowa that every prop
er effort will be made to bring the mat
ter back to the House at the earliest pos
sible moment, when those who desire to
do so can support a motion to concur."
Hepburn's request was agreed to. The
Speaker appointed Hepburn (Rep. la.),
Fletcher (Rep. Minn.) and Davey (Dem.
La.) conferees on the part of the House.
Patterson then opposed the Philippine
bill and supported the minority substitute.
"Well may the American -people pause."
eaid he, "before the step Is taken which
reverses all our theories of government
and brings us to the Old World methods
of colonization and empire."
Kahn (Rep. Cal.) concluded the debate
of the afternoon in a speech which was
listened to with close attention by mem
bers on both sides of the House. It was
largely a personal narrative of his trip
to the Philippines last year. He told of
a personal interview with Agulnaldo at
which the latter admitted that no prom
ises of Independence had been made to
him by Dewey and Wildman. He conclud
ed as follows:
"There Is one Instance in our National
history when the policy of scuttle, after
being overwhelmingly repudiated at the
polls, was nevertheless adopted by the
Democratic Administration. I refer to the
'fifty-four forty or fight campaign of
1S44. It Is true that when the question
of our Oregon boundary came un in the
Senate In 1846, a large majority of the Sen
ators voted to ratify the treaty by which
we relinquished all of that territory which
Is now known as British Columbia. If
we had held our ground at that period,
England today would not have a single
port on the Pacific ocean side of the con
tinent. The commerce of the Orient, com
ing across the Pacific, would have had to
pass through an American port. There
probably would be no Alaska boundary
dispute to, plague us at this time, and I
for one do not propose, with my vote at
least, to sanction another mistake of a
similar character."
At 5 o'clock Kahn yielded the floor and
a recees was taken until 8 o'clock.
At the evening session,, Kahn resumed
his remarks and described in detail some
of the cruelties inflicted by Filipinos on
American troops. He made a vigorous
defense of the Array and said its good
name had been besmirched because of the
conduct of a pitiful few. It was a mis
take to assert that the insurrection would
end s'hould the Filipinos be given their in
dependence. "It would only give the ir
reconcilables," he said, "an Incentive for
the renewal of activity." Ho added that
should independence be given the Fili
pinos their cruelties would be so revolting
that all the tears of the angels could nev
er blot the record out
Kern (Dem. HI.) denied the right of the
United Stites to frame-laws for the Phil
ippines, because, in his opinion, the Fili
pinos are an alien people. He charged
Presdent Roosevelt with acting in the
Filipino matter without authority of Con
gress, except tuch as was conferred on
him by a meager resolution. "At no
stage of the gime," said he, "has he dono
Congress the honor to ask advice or coun
sel." The vital question to his mind, he
said, was not so much one of good gov
ernment as It is one of self-government.
There is only one man, he declared with
emphasis, in all the world who can stop
the war, and that man is Theodore Roose
velt "I 8iy to you, Theodore Roosevelt,"
he exclaimed with vehemence, "that if
you are earnest in your loud declarations
and want these people to have their lib
erty and their independence, then say the
word and Congress and the people will
back you up and hostilities will cease."
Adams (Rep. Pi.) called attention to
the fact that only yesterday orders bad
gone forward reducing to 19,000 men the
Army in the Philippines, which he said
was an evidence of the pacific Intentions
of the Government. He then, under tho
latitude of debate, entered into a defense
of the Panama Canil.
At 9:35 P. IL, the House adjourned un
til H o'clock tomorrow morning.

Hlnchcllffe seems tonight to be In com
plete control of the situation here, backed
as he Is by the entire peace-controlling
force of tho city and county and a goodly
portion of the state militia. The soldiers'
presence has hid a deterrent effect upon

duty all night and will be relieved by
deputies in the morning. No troops will
do duty In the daytime unless there

engaged to shadow the leading anarchists.
The "reds" are to be induced to leive
Paterson quietly if possible. If they do
not go, tho committee Is slid to have Its
own plan foe action. One of the methods
to be employed is said to be the keeping
of a blacklist, and no matter where In
Paterson a man on It obtains work, his
employer will be notified to dismLss him.
If this plan be carried out. It will starve
out of the cltv all anarchists who may
I come here. It Is Aald the committee has

to carry out its purpose.

COAL SUPPLY IS SHORT.
Would Be exhausted Jn Three
Months If a Strike Is Called.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 20. It la estimat
ed by W. B. Wilson, secretary and treas
urer of the United MIneworkers of Ameri
ca, that the present aupply of bituminous
and anthracite coal above ground will b
exhausted In less than three months If
there should be a general suspension of
work In the mines. According to this esti
mate, if the National convention or
znineworkers in Indianapolis July 17
should vote for a general suspension of
work In support of the anthracite strike,
as is now proposed, the vast Industrial
machinery of the United States would bo
handicapped for want of fuel, and tnou
sands of factories would have to suspend
work. Mr. Wilson has statistics showing
that there are 415.000 miner in the coun
try scattered through the various states.
The miners of 12 states will be actively
Involved If thero is a suspension. Idaho,
Nevada, California, the Dakota. North
Carolina, and two or three other states
produce coal known as lignite, but the
organization did not take these states
into consideration when It Issued a call
for a National convention. There are now
over 300,000 members of the MIneworkers
organization. Mr. Wilson says that near
ly every nonunion man would go out If a
general suspension were ordered. During
the anthracito strike two years ago,
there were only SCOO anthracite men in
the orsanization. yet 125,000 went out.
The, anthracite organisation now includes
147,060 men, and since the strike was or
dered a. few days ago, many Virginia, and
West Virginia men have come Into tne
union.
Probably ih6 largest supply of coal la
In the bins at Buffalo, and other cities
along the Great Lakes. Canada has no
coal on which this country could draw If
there Is a general tie-up. The British
Isles might supply a. part 6f thd market;
but at a price that would be prohibitive.
At the coming convention, the belief is
that the competitive districts of Western
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
will take a harid agairet a general strike.
These etates have contracts that they tin
not want to break. The combined vote"
of the competitive district with that of
Iowa is expeced to prove strong enough
to prevent the success of the proposition
for a general strike. There are k number
of states whose agreements expire July 1,
and it will depend largely on the outcome
of the deliberations between the oper
ators and miners as to where the balance
of power will He.
Depends on Western Miners.
WILKESBARRE, Pa.. Juno 20. This
was one of the quietest days around strike
headquarters since the anthracite mln
workers suspended operations six weeks
ago. Reports from the entire region were
that all mining towns were very Quiet
and that the loO.OCO idle men and boys are
keeping away from th6 collieries. The
flurry occasioned by the call for a. special
National convention at Indianapolis has
entirely subsided. No Information on
what the probable action of the conven
tion would be could be had here. News
from the West is eagerly awaited by the
great body of miners.

WHY TACOMA GAINS.
(Continued from Flret Page.)
I
ing belong to Portland, and the Oregon
port "got the money."
As to that portion of tho flour business
which actually belongs to Puget Sound,
there has been a, substantial Increase due
to a number of big mills competing for
the Oriental trade. The plant of the Port
land Flouring Milla Company, at Taco
ma. Is the largest mill on Puget Sound,
and. with a capacity of 1800 barrels per
day, It has been running continuously
since last July, and will not catch up
wth orders before July 1 this year. Next
in importance is the 1200-barrel mill of
the Centennial Mill Company and a 1000
barrel mill at Everett All three of these
concerns have been grinding for tho Ori
ental trade, and when run to their ca
pacity, and aided by smaller mills of the
same system, a cargo of flour la turned
out In short order. The facilities in this
direction will be increased during the
coming season by two more big mills now
being constructed for the export trade.
Ono of these, a 1000-barrel concern, con
structed so that It can easily be changed
to 3000-barrels capacity, is now neating
completion at Tacoma, and the other,
which is of the same size, is ready for
the machinery at Seattle. These mills,
new and old. will make a strong fight for
business, and If they stir up enough Jf
a demand to keep them running a little
more than half time they will keep Puget
Sound well In the lead as a flour-shipper.
Tacoma- is making a good, strong finish
for the season, nd has half a dozen
ships in the harbor nearly ready for sea.
Kerr, Glfford & Co. yesterday finished the
Durbrldge for South Africa, and are load
ing the General Roberts for the same
port. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. are finish
ing the Sokoto, and will follow her with
the Tweedsdale. The Portland Flouring
Mills Company yesterday finished the
Holywood, and have the Deccan partly
loaded. The departure of this fleet will
leave the Tacoma docks almost bare, and
the new season will open with less wheat
at tide water than has been the case In
many years.
Unionism has not yet Invaded the Taco-
ma water front to any great extent, and t
exporters are always confronted with a
surplus stock of labor, from which to
make a choice at 25 cents per hour for
gralnhandlers, compared with 35 cents
paid for the same class of work at Port
land. The skill of these 25-cent-an-hour
non-union men can be understood when
It Is stated that during the season now
closing they delivered wheat to McCabe
& Hamilton's stevedores at a rate which
enabled the latter to put 2000 sacks more
aboard a vessel In a nine-hour day than
was done on any ship-loading In Port-

All women should take advantage of the
remarkable power of this best of medi

failures of able physicians, gratefully
writes as follows:
"I suffered for eight years with nervous
prostration and the general debility com
mon to women, and had such pains In my
back that I could not get around the
