Both Amendments Deoonnced as Vicious aod Pernicious Legislation aod Un paralleled la the History of Lexlslatlvc Eaactments. Br Telegraph to tbe Morning star. Washington, Feb. 127 Not since the enactment of the resolutions declaring a state of war to exist between tbe United States and Bp tin has there been such an avalanche of passionate oratory aa the 8enate listen ed to to-day. ThroughouUthe session the Army Appropriation bill was under discussion, i he controverted questions being the trp mner Philippine amend meut and tno Piatt Cuban amendment. Curiously enough, the debate, was eon fined to tbe Democratic side of the chamber, with one exception.- Both amendments were denounced V as. vicious and proicious legislation, subversive of tbe principles of this government ai d unparalleled in tbe history ofjegislative enactments. - w;- WaSHINQTON, -February 27-rTbe Senate at tu opening to day adopted. Senator Pelligrew's resolution order ing a reprint of the instructions ai d papers sent to tbe Paris Peace Com mission, so as to include an important telegram which baa been omitted from tbe original print. The conference report on the Fortification appro priation bill was agreed to. Tbe Army appropriation bill was taken up. 'Senator Turner, Washing ton, criticised tbe Spoouer amendment as the first departure from the Ameri can ""s j stem in the history of the country. It vested, he contended, in the President of the United States, all the powers that belong to and are exercised by the Czar of Russia. . Senator Teller, regarded tbe Phil ippine amendment, though much im proved by the Hoar amendment, as still objetcionab'e. Tbe Cuban amend -ment was much stronger and much better than the public press had con veyed the impression it would be, but he bad some reservation in, his approval of it. Senator Teller gave notice of an amendment to the Puilippine section as follows: "Tbat ihe constitution of the United States is extended over aod declared to be in force in tbe Philippine islands so far as the same or any provision thereof may b- applicable " tits purpose, be said, was to ascer tain whether those who say theconsti i u tion does not extend over tbe Pnilip pines afe willing that it should extend over the islands. He bad no idea tbat lh- United Stales would ever surrender he Philippine islands. Senator Teller made a logical and constitutional argu ment on tbe peuding question. Referring to tbe Cuban amendment. Senator Teller (eared it might wound the sensibilities of the Cubans. He hoped the Cubans might agree to the propositions made. . Even with those conditions imposed, he believdCuba would yet be an independent olale. Senator Peltigrew made a vigorous attack upon tbe Philippine amendment particularly, declaring tbat it would encourage 'jobs' and "schemes lor the advancement of tbe interests of those "on tbe inside " He referred to the organisation of the Philippine Lumber and Development Company. of which, be said. Representative J. A 11 u II, chairman of tbe Military Affairs Committee of the Bouse, was preside t and Representative Gover nor, of West Virginia, was the attor ney. A son of Mr Hull, be asserted. even now was in tbe Philippines look ing after the interests of the company. Senator Peltigrew contended that no egitimate tff irts were being made to prepare the Pnilippioes for civil gov ernment, and he declared tbat the bar barities practiced in tbe Philippines by our forces hsd only been quailed by those of tbe V civilized ' armies at P. kin. .'' ' ' . Senator Bacon. Georgia, said : "This amendment is the most pernicious and objectionable form of legislation which has been proposed since 1 have bad any connection witn me American Congress." Pr. c-edine. be said he believed tbat t was the very worst legislation that had ever been attempted in the Con gress, tie considered it as revolution ary, and said that under no circum stances would he vote for it, or vote for a bill containing sucb a provision Be would, indeed, rather vote for ten aubsidy bills than for this measure Be considered our attitude toward hina abnormal and illegal, and thought it most discreditable to Con ureas tbat tbat body was about to ad - urn without taking cognizance of the situation. Be said we were in a state of war with China. Returning to tbe bill. . Senator B.con ssid, as it was, far-reaching and revolutionary as it seemed to him. there bad never been a sentence or line uttered in the Senate in support or the defence of the measure. He denounced as 'cercion" the putucg upon an - appropriation meas ure in tbe cosing hours ftf a session uch propositions as the Philippine -nd Uuban amendments lney weie clearly in violation of tbe rules of tbe Senate, and 'every Senator, be said. who voted to place tbe Philippine amendment upon tbe bill knew tbat it was a "plain," distinct, and undeni able violation of the tule." ' r i - Senator Bacon denied that members opposed to the Philippine amendment had been influenced to withdraw their opposition because of appropriations in the River and Harbor bill which mtght be lost Be pointed out that in the Philippines there were 68 000 000 acres of neb lands, on which were rich mines and valuable timbers. It was from "the plunderers and speculators who, like vultures, are hovering over that prostrate land," that the demand had come for Philippine legislation to wnicb the mal ntv was about to re spond. It was a rich quarry, he said. and tbe plunderers and vultures were tl'cking to the country, not from America alone, but from otber coun tries, tie referred to a press telegram from Manila which stated that Dr. Kruger, the German consul there, had urged bis government to request the a . merman anioassador In Waahincton diplomatically to advance the passage oi me ouooner oiu, because it would improve tbe interests of certain Ger man mining companies in the Philip- uii.es. The Georgia Sepator admitted that the amendment which , had been agreed to placing restrictions upon the sale of public lands and the granting of franchises had destroyed practically tbe opportunity; of tbe "plunderers and vultures." but be in suted tbat tbey nevertheless were tbe power tbat had brought forward the proposed legislation at this time. Further along Senator Bacon read an Associated Presa df snatch from Manila toshow tbat tbe Filipinos were far from being "pacified," and tbat the conditions were more serious in the islands than they were represent- ea as oeing oy government officials. Senator Gallinger cilled Senator Bacon's -lien tion to tatetner.t of -thi late Consul General Wildmaii which contradicted the dispatch quoted. : .. Senator l5ucon responded tbat with entire . respect for the views of . Mr. Wtldman be would much prefer to accept tbe ' statement ' Associat ed Press representative of the who was in the islands and in position 1 to see for himself, than to take the word even of Mr. Wildman, who was no nearer tbe fhilippines than Hong tiong. At 10 So after a continuous session since 11 A. M., . the . vote on the amended Spooner resolution 'was taken. It was adopted 15 to 27. Senator Piatt then offered tbe com mittee Cuban amendment. Senator Jones moved to striae out the third condition, that Cuba shall agree that tbe United States sball exercise the rigbtuo intervene to preserve Cuban independence, but later modified it to strike out only that part providing mat tbe united estates could intervene 'for tbe maintenance of a government adequate for tbe protection of life, property and individual liberty." oenator Morgan, Alabama, con tended the amendment amounted to proposing and American suzerainty over Cuba. Senator Pettus declared it was a dis grace on the American people. Seba-. tor Jones' motion was defeated 43 to 21. Tbe Cuban amendment to the Armv bill was adopted To save tbe IIe of Pines, which belongs' to us, without a row with Cuba," said Senator Morgan, after the vote waa announced. I move to strike out tbe reference to tbat island." ' The motion was lost without di vision... : Senator Tillman read the text of the war resolution, pledging independence to Cuba, and tbe list of Rcoublican Senators who had voted for it.

The Re publican conferees on the Revenue R duclion bill have reached an agree ment on many of the items in contro versy, in aldition to those on beer, tobacco, bank checks and medicines, heretofore given. The House pro vision repealing tbe tax on insurance policies, life and fire, are re ained. Tie Senate provision regarding con veyances or real estate, etc., are preferred over those of the House, wbicb made a coa plete repeal of all taxes on conveyances The Senate provision exempts conveyances under $3,500 and imposes a tax of 95 cenis for eacn $500 over $3,500. Toe numer ous taxes on theatre, circuses and exhibitions are taken off as provided by the House. Besides tbe com pro mise of 9 60 cents on tobacco, tbe cigar rates come in for much discussion But owing to some question as to tbe rigbts of tbe conferees over this item. the rate on cigars will probably remain at $3 per thousand. Tbe understanding thus far reached is looked upon as likely to be final, although the conferees themselves say tbat no formal agreement baa as yet been arrived at and it will not be until tbe Democratic conferees are called in that a final agreement can be made. The $3 rate on cigars, fixed by tbe Bouse, is a repeal of the entire 60 cents Added for war purposes. The Senate proposition was to take on bair oi tbe 60 cents, making the rate $3 30.
