Senate Takes Action to Faeili tate Conference on Chinese St library. , i CUSHMAN ATTACKS THE HOUSE RULES VETO MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM THE PRESIDENT ON BILL. TO PENSION WALLER HOUSE CONSIDERS RECIPROCITY BILL. Washington, April 17. In the senate today the resolutions offered by Mr. Culberson of Texas, directing the sec retary of war to send to the senate a statement of money paid toy the United States on account of the Philippine commission and a statement of the money expended for sending troops to the Philippines and for their mainte nance were agreed to. Mr. Morgan of Alabama, chairman of the committee on isthmian canals at the conclusion of routine business, ad dressed the senate upon the Hepburn bill providing for a Nicaraguan canal. Mr. Morgan said the subject could be stated in six propositions. Investi gation was complete and nothing could be gained by delay. It was a choice of two routes Panama and Nicaragua. The practicability of conctructing the Nicaragua canal was beyond a shadow of doubt and within the estimates. If the Bohio dam at Panama should fail, the only hope of a canal would perish, while the failure of one dam on the San Juan river would mean construction at another point. Mr. Morgan spoke of the clouds of doubt concerning the Panama route. He said the political condition of Nic aragua and Costa Rica were more fav orable than those of Columbia. He said the commission had no authority to accept an offer from the Panama canal company. At the conclusion of Morgan's ad dress the senate took up the house Chinese exclusion bill and substituted for it the bill passed by the senate . This aetian taXeri to facilitate" con ference on the two bills. In the House. Washington, April 17. The house be gan its session at 11 o'clock today in or der to expedite the Cuban reciprocity bill. A veto message was received from' President Roosevelt of a bill pen sioning Thomas (F. Waller and was re ferred to the committee on invalid pen- ;sions. Consideration of the Cuban rec iprocity bill was resumed and Mr. Jen kins (Wis.) spoke on the political sta tus of Cuba, .maintaining that there could be no suspended sovereignty and that the present time Cuba was under the political domain "of the United States. Mr. Jenkins opposed the bill because our relations toward Cuba were not such as to permit of the pro posed reciprocity treaty. Mr. Gaines (W. Va.) also opposed the bill, declaring that it 'was unneces sary and unwise. ! Mr. Warner of Illinois, who followed, was also against the bill. He insisted that the measure was not along repub lican lines. Mr. DeArmond of Missouri made a speech which attracted much atten tion. He employed his vitriolic com ment upon the attitude of members with his accustomed freedom. Calling attention to the fact that members on tooth sides whether they opposed or ad vocated the measure justified their course by an appeal to their party principles, he remarked that, viewed from these diverse standpoints, the measure was indeed a remarkable de parture in legislation. He commented upon the statement of Gen. Grosvenor a few days ago that later the high rates of the Dingley law would be reduced and revised by the friends of that act. If the rates were too high, he saw no reason why the reduction should not occur now and in this connection re ferred sarcastically to the Babcock bill to place steel on the free list.

Speaking of the sugar trust, he observed that -to hear members talk, one' would think there was nothing so friendless in the house as this trust. "Fortunately," said he. Ironically, "there will be opportunity later on for 1 members to show by their votes that they have not misrepresented them selves. " (Laughter). It was contended he said, on , the other side that the tariff which had de veloped the gigantic trusts should be reformed by its friends. "1 think," he exclaimed, "that the tariff should be re formed by the friends of the American people." (Democratic applause). The house comnjittee on military af- iairs today decided to recomnnend that the resolution of Representative Burle-. son, of Texas, asking for the recent courtmartial proceedings in the case of Major Littleton W. Walker, lie on-4he table. ' The ground of the action was that the due forwarding of the papers from; the Philippines to Washington could not be expedited by -action of the house, and that when received the papers would be open to such inspection as is usually given; also that the resolution would be prejudicial to the parties concerned. Consideration of the bill was enliv ened by a speech hy Cushonan (rep. Washington). He deviated "from "the text of the bill and bitterly attacked the rules of the house. General de bate on the bill will close tomorrow, SERGEANT DAVIS BEFORE SENATE PHILIPPINES COM. Washington, April 17. Edward J. Davis, of Greenfield, Mass., who was' a sergeant in Company M, Twenty-' sixth volunteer anfantry, was before the senate committee on Philippines to-; day.

He spoke of the arrival of the regulars under the command of Capt Glenn. He said that under orders from Capt. Glenn, he, with a squad, had tak en the presidente into custody on No vember 27 and had escorted him to the convent where the "cure"-was admin istered. Several proposed buildings will not t4 of the presidente, who when taken into the. convent was asked to give in formation as to whether runners had been sent out to notify the insurgents of the arrival of the scouts in the5 town.

"Who gave the command for this treatment?" "Capt. Glenn." "How was the man's mouth kept open?" "By means of a stick, but I could not see just how it was done." Continuing ithe witness said that when the victim of the cure was filled with water the members of the detail would force it out of him by rolling their fists over his stomach, and that the process was kept up for about ten minutes. He described the second application of the. cure as previously testified to, and corroborated Sergeant Riley in the statement that the details of this per formance were under the charge of Contract Surgeon Lyons and that Capt. Glenn and Lieut. Conger were not pres ent when it occurred. Mr. Davis said in reply to questions as to tne pnysicai errect or the cure, "that the man squealed terribly" and that his eyes were bloody, tout that the next day he was able to mount his horse and lead the scouts to the moun tains. Afterwards, he said, he wag taken to Iloilo and put in prison. He also repeated the statement that two police officers of the town of Igbaras had been subjected to the "water cure." 'There was," he added, "also a native school teacher there who was mal treated at the same time, but the 'water cure' was not administered to him. Mr. Davis also gave the details of the tourining of the town of Igbaras, which he said contained about 10,000 people, tout no business places. All ex cept about fifteen houses were destroy ed and men, women and children were forced out indiscriminately. Senator Burrows "Who gave the or der to burn the town?" The witness "Capt. Glenn."

SOUTH AND CHINESE TRADE SENATOR PRITCHARD'S DEFENSE OF SOUTHERN INTERESTS IN EXCLUSION BILL DEBATE.

THIS TREMENDOUS , ,6P SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL DE IW DELOPMENT with UNHAMP s;StlED MARKETS VALUE OP .TRADE IN THE PAR EAST. :- Washington, April 17. -The modifica tion i'Ot the Chinese PorfHRinn Vill frntn the drastic measure that was offered to the senate was unoues-tionablv due In large part to the influences exerted by' Senator Pratchard. His address to the senate -was one of the strongest speeches that were made on the sub .Ject in the senate, forcibly and clearly Betting forth the interest that the south vhad in the matter. His speech, which Is1 just published today was in part as follows: Mr. President: I desire briefly to state reasons why I cannot support the r: V,-f ; measure which has been reported by the committee on immigration, and in doing so I shall consider this question from a local standpoint, as it affects the southern, section of our country. THE "OLD" AND THE "NEW" SOUTH. Thirty years ago the south was crip pled and poverty stricken. Possessing natural resources of wealth unsur passed, she was without strength, op portunity, or implements, or capital to develop them. What with her utterly demoralized labor system, incident to thei4. abolishment of slavery, her rail laadsuch as ehe had and other methods of communication and trans portation destroyed or broken, the sur vivors of this unhappy internecine Struggle, confronted by the new con ditions stated and other discourage ments, well might have stood appalled over ithe future prospect. But, facing this future with Spartan bravery, from the wreck and ruin in which she was then ingulfed, ithe south has now "worked out her own salva tion" and has at last emerged trium phant, and today on the threshold of a new century sne stands serene, san guine, and progressive, if not aggres sive, in her eagerness to grapple with the mew and mighty problems of the new "world power" which our reunited States have become through the fort- tunes of war. Today the south stands on the verge of unprecedented industrial expansion. Equipped, ae pointed out, by nature (Continued on seventh page.)
