CANAL CONFEREES
MEETS ON MONDAY
House Conferees First of all
for Canal.
AN AGREEMENT IN SIGHT.
They Will Yield Bather Than Block
Legislation
THE PANAMA ROUTE RATHER THAN NONE
In the House the Debate on the Philippine Bill
Continues, But With Flagging In
teres*. Onj or two Rather
- Rp : cy Speeches.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., June 21.—Senator
Morgan and Representative Hepburn,
representing the Senate and House con
ferees on the Isthmian Canal Bill, were
together* today to arrange the prelimi
narls for the meeting of the conferees.
The first formal meeting of the Isth
mian Canal Conferees will be at two
o’clock on Monday. Today’s meeting was
devoted to a careful study of the Senate
Panama amendment with a view' to get
ting a thorough understanding of its
hearings. It was stated afterward that
no conclusions beyond he fact that, a
meeting of the conferees should be held
Monday had been reached.
Meantime the friends of the respective
projects w'rre active in making plans.
Although no formal meeting of the House
conferees was held, informal exchanges
showed their general attitude. They are
first of all for a canal and while favor
able to the Nicaragua route, they will
not insist upon that route to the extent
of defeating all legislation.
As scon as it becomes evident that
the Senate will not yield the Spooner
amendment will be accepted as the best
solution possible. There is no doubt
this is the position of tw r o out of the
three house conferees and it is under
stood to be shared by all of them. This
Insures an agreement in conference with
out much delay, even if the House does
not relieve the conferees of their respon
sibilitis by adopting a motion to concur
with the Senate which, there is good
reason to beliave Mr. Burton (hio), is
ready to make.
DAI BESSION IN THE HOUtE
Debate on Philippine Eill Continues. Several
Speeches Made
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 21.—Debate on the
Philippine Civil Government ißll lagged
in th<* House today. There were seven
speakers. Messrs. Reeves. (Ills.), Brom
wcll, (Ohio.), for the bill and Messrs.
Maddox, (Oa.): Dinsmore, (Ark.), and
Thayer, (Mass), against it- Mr. Mc-
Clellan. (N. Y.), a son of the late Gen
eral George B. McClellan, delivered a
short but eloquent defense of the army.
Karlier in the day the conference reports
on the Military Academy and Sundry
Civil Appropriation Bills were adopted.
Mr. Hay. (Va.): Mr. Clayton, (Ala.),
and Mr. Mann, (Ills.), criticised the ac
tion of the House conferees in agreeing
to the increase in the number of candi
dates at West Point proposed by the
Senate. Mr. Mann said that recently
the number of cadets had been increased
one hundred. I'he increased member
ship of the House would further increase
the carets thirty, and now it was pro
posed to increase that number still more.
He did not believe we should legislate
in the dissection of a great increase in
the standing army.
Mr. Clayton called attention to the
fact that the army, which cost annually
$25.0*0.000 before the Spanish War, now
costs annually J 125.000.000-
Mr. Hull and Mr. Parker (X. J.), de
fended the conference report, arguing
that the Increase was necessary in order
properly to officer the army.
In the discussion of the Philippine
Hill Mr. Reeves contrasted the condi
tion of the Filipinos under the Spanish
regime with their condition now, and
with what it might he expected to be in
the future. He used a wealth of statis
tics to show that our great market in
the future must be in the Orient, and
that our jtosition at the gateway of the
cast would be of immeasurable advan
tage to us-
Mr- Maddox. (Ga.). who followed Mr.
Reeves, opposed to the bill. The ques
tion of whether we were to permanently
retain the Philippines, he said, would
be ultimately decided not by Congress,
but by the American people.
“God was with us during the war
with Spain." ho continued, “but when we
entered into the peace negotiations the
devil stepped in. and he has been run
ning things ever since."
Mr. Maddox questioned Secretary
Root's figures as to the cost cf the war
in the Philippines. He said he could not
understand how the Secretary got his
figures. The actual amount appropriated
on account of the war with Spain and
iht subsequent operations in the Philip
pines. he said, exceeded one billion dol
lars or about half of the cost of the Civil
War. He asserted that the cost of the
army in the Philippines, including trans
portation, had in excess of JldO.-
000,000 annually, and with the reduced!
force would not fall much below $8,000,-
noo. If the army in the Philippines for
the last fiscal year cost only forty mil
lions as Secretary Root alleged he
wanted to know what had become of the
remainder of the $115,000,000 appropriated
in the army appropriation bill for that
year.
Mr, Bromwell (Ohio), defended she pol
icy of the administration, and admon
ished his Democratic opponents to heed
some of the words of wisdom which re
cently had fallen from the lips of some
cf their old time leaders.
Mr. Dinsmore (Ark.), made an earnest
speech appealing to both sides to weigh
well the tremendous issue which was to
be decided in the pending legislation, de
cided one way, it meant, he said, free
government and and independence for the
Filipinos; the other way, it mean colon
ial subjects and a perpetual colonial
policy.
He severely criticised General Wood's
course in using Cuba funds to influence
legislation in the United States and said
if the colonial system was to be perma
nent the time would come when by what
ever name it might be called occurrences
such as had been practiced in Cuba
would become the regular order of
things.
Mr. McClellan (N. Y.), in a short
speech, defended the army. There may
have been instances of cruelty in the
Philippines he said, but there should
be no difference among Americans about
upholding our soldiers, while they are
under fire.
“The army is not, never has been, and
never will be, the asset of one political
party,” said he, amid a round of ap
plause. His tribute to the enlisted men
of regular service was received with
enthusiasm.
The last speaker of the today's ses
sion was made by Mr. Thayer (Miss.),
who made a strong anti-imperialistic
speech. He said that insidiously the
military had encroached upon the civil
authority but insisted that the oppo
sition to the present Philippine policy
was making no attack upon the army in
the field. He said there would be no
necessity for a large standing army in
the Philippines as organized resistance
had ceased as alleged.
At 5 o’clock the House took a recess
until 8 o’clock.
Waller I a Washington.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 21.—Major Littleton
'V. T. Waller, U. S. M. C., accompanied

manding the Marine Corps,’ today called
at the Navy Department and had a
pleasant talk with Secretary Moody,

was stated that the conversation did not
touch upon business matters, but was
confined to an exchange of pleasantries,
the Secretary praising in generous terms
the work of the marines in the Philip
pines and General Heywood adding a
few words in the same vein. Major Wal
ler looks very well and sturdy for a
n an who has been through such a terri
ble campaign, but is suffering from an
attack of laryngitis, which makes speak
ing for any lengih of time an arduous
task. He is on a leave of absence, and
is en route to his native town. Norfolk,
Va., where the citizens will present him
with a sword and give a banquet in his
honor.
Roosevelt Dir cusses Reciprocity.
(By the Associated Press.)

situation with several members of Con
gress. His callers included Senators Al
lison, Forakcr, Proctor, and Beveridge

Charlotte, N. C., June 21.—Three hun
, dred anti-primary Democrats held a
convention in thi3 city today, the pur
pose of which was to express their dis
approval at the oath feature of the pri
mary law. Col. H. C. Jones presided
over the meeting. After considerable
discussion, it was decided to adjourn un
til next Saturday in order to better form
ulate plans.
There is now no questiop but what an
independent ticket will be launched in
this county.
A committee of five was appointed to
day to ascertain if the executive com
mittee of the county would make any
concessions regarding the oath feature.
This committee will report at next Sat

to believe that the executive commit
tee will not trat with this .committee
and will make no compromise. This
will insure the independent ticket and
will be the means of driving many of
those opposed to the oath feature back
to the Democratic fold.
