WASHINGTON, May 1 Discussion of the Philippine question became hcatde In the senate today. Thus far the minority practically haa had a clear field In the debate, the pulhy of the majority to permit criticism of the Democratic member of the body to proceed without Interruption. Today It wa different, Spooner, For aker and Lodge became aroused. They spoke In dofviuM. of the administration; of the army, and of Governor Taft, and they poke hotly, almoat unre utrainwdly, The result waa one of th most eplrlted debase that yt has oc curred on the Philippine question. While the debate took wide range, It revolved around the resolution, calling for Major Gardener, In the Philippine Island ,to appear before the Philip pine committee aa a wlinex. A cable gram fro.n General Chaffee waa read by Lodge, oaylng that It wa Imprao table for Gardner to leave the Island at present, a he wa a special figure In the court of Inquiry w-h'ch waa In. vestlgatlng the conditions of the prov ince of which 4ie wa governor.

Wise, surely Is the man who stu dies the shape and color of Iris house before planting his ground. A dwell ing should not appear from a distance as If It were disassociated from Its surroundings, nor should it seem as If some giant had set It down on a knoll like a chessman on a table. It should be tied down to the ground by the aid of vines and harmoniously placed trees and shrubs. It should be framed In, not Wholly concealed and all . features on the grounds should lead up to It. Planting should be handled as an ar tist does his pigments, to gain cer tain effects. . Never forget that the open lawn spaces bear the same rela tion to trees and shrubs as a rest In the notes of a bar of muslo. There is no reason why planting about a school should interfere with light, air or games. Cover the bare walls (In portion) with clinging Ivy; adorn ths front en trance by flunking It with hardy na tive shrubs, with flowers In the early spring or. le-te fall, the children may enjoy planting them. ' Plant a tew more In the angles of the play ground or yard and protect them by law rail ings and cover the fences with vines. Organise the children Into Improve ment associations, give litem the care of ths plants. Special attention should be given to weekly lessons on the preparation of ground tor sodding and planting trees and shrubs and the var ious plant feeds and fertilizers.

Though May Not This Session. A GREAT NOVEL MSPLAY Troop From Foreign Nation May Compete With Our Military Drills and Athletics. CHICAGO. May i Messrs. Henry J. Fuber and Benjamin J. Rosenthal, of the Olympian Games Commission, have returned to Chicago after a visit to Washington, made for ths purpose of discussing the games with President Roosevelt and other prominent gov ernment officials. Both are deeply pleased with the cordial Interest with which the president listened fur near, ly an hour to their presentation of the plans for the contest, In regard to an appropriation of 1500,000 from con gress, Mr. Furber last night said: "We are advised by certain members rhst the Olympian games may read ily be rendered so important as to make It Incumbent upon congress to make a liberal appropriation. It . is, however, their opinion-that It Is too late to accomplish anything tills sea son, but that If the merits of the gen eral enterprise are properly brought to the attention of the public within the next few months, congress, supported by the popular Interest which the games. should arouse, may at Us next meeting be readily Induced to make the- necessary appropriation." vCOTilnuIng,-Mrrrube "We return with the feeling that the military and naval features of our j program may be rendered most Im portant - It is hoped that we may se cure the attendance of contingents of the national guard from different states and also from the regular army. It Is not Improbable that an effort may be, made to secure the presence of troops from foreign nations to com pete with ours in military drills and athletics. To Congressman Foss, chair man of the house committee on naval affairs, we are Indebted for a valuable suggestion. He informs us that there are many vessels belonging to our navy which could be brought Into the great lakes without difficulty. Among these may be mentioned the Hartford, Admiral Farragut's old flagship, the Gloucester, w hlch engaged the Span ish torpedo flotilla off Santiago, and enough sailors to make an Impressive naval pageant. The presence of war ships on. the lakes ts of course gov erned by treaties with Great Britain and Canada, "but for an amicable pur pose such aa this, especially as It may not be Impossible to secure the pres ence also of ships from foreign navies. It Is thought that England and Can ada would be glad to lend their ap proval to the plan. The Importance of Congressman Foss" action extends be yond the games of 1901. There Is no city in the lake region which has not a profound Interest In developing com merce by the way of the great lakes. Anything that facilitates the accessi bility of our laKte ports from the ocean or accentuates ihe existence of facili ties we' already possess will bring our lake porta to the attention of foreign nations as available points of entry. The fact that a naval fleet, especial ly If composed In part of ships from foreign countries, can reach Chicago by traversing our hikes, would, It ts believed, be an effective means of In fluencing foreign nation that, for pur poses of commerce, our lake cities are practically open ports. If this plan shall be developed as 1 expected, It Is proposed 'that the fleet shall congre gate at some Canadian port In Lake Huron and visit the principal' ports of Lakes Erie, Huron and Michigan on the way to Chicago."

' J DEFENSE OF THE ARMY woonitiTF ii:ak8 out AT MANILA. .Says That Bayonet 'Never Flashed Ksiept In the De fence of the Law. MANILA. May .-Colonel Charles A. Woodruff for the defense said; During the last few -months it has seemed popular to criticise the a-rmy in the Philippines. . People teem to have forgotten its magnificent- service for America's honor and glory. Ve have been wortiiy members of the army, whose bayonets never flashed except In defense of law. : Yet today we at apparently dis graced. Why, I cannot Imagine that people at home expect to gain glory and political advancement by abjur ing the army." Colonel Woodruff re viewed the evidence at length, show ing the necessity for making Samar a "howling wilderness." " " "Now," continued Colonel Woodruff, 'after weailng for 41 years the uni form of the United States, with honor to himself and to benefit the govern ment at the close of that remarkably successful campaign In which he ac complished what Spain was unable to do In 200 years. While returning as his friends thought," covered w'th glory he was halted and taken off the transport to face charges growing out of language used in giving the instruc tions for conduct of the - successful campaign. The defense feels that the government has only done this In de ference to the overwhelming public sntlmnt, based on rumors fostered for ignoble and unknown purposes, until hysteria was produced, when this" gray, wounded, victorious general waa. ex posed to Indignity of trial In deference to hysterical public opinion."
