Order I Parallelled Only by Kin Herod's. , Washington, April 28. Representative Sibley, (Pa.), created something of a sen nation in the house today during the gen eral debate on the agricultural appropri ation bill by severely denouncing General Jacob H. Smith for the orders be Issued in the 8amar campaign. Mr. Sibley's speech was enthusiastically applauded by the Democrats and was received with some evidence of approval on the Repub lican side. The speech was considered the most remarkable in that it came from a Republican who left the Democratic party On the issue raised by the Spanish war and who has since been an ardent supporter of expansion. ' The subject was also under discussion in the senate. Mr. Teller said It evidently was the purpose of the Republican party to retain the Philippine islands perma nently, but he did not believe the subject had been settled finally by the Amer ican people. Personally he had no doubt that the Islands ought to be turned over to their inhabitants, as he felt that they were entirely capable of establishing a proper government, although they might not be capable of establishing and main taining such a government as ours. The Filipinos by heredity, he thought were not fitted for our kind of govern ment. ; He said that the negroes In this country had been afforded ample oppor tunity to participate In our form of gov ernment, "yet," said he, "those who are most familiar with the negroes condition know today that he Is little better pre pared for the discharge of the duties of citizenship than he was in the beginning." The negro suffered, he said, from a de fect of heredity, rw Mr. Simmons discussed the stories of the "water rare" of the burning of towns and of concentration. He declared that there was no doubt as to the truth fulness of the charges against the Ameri can army of cruelly, inhumanity and bar barity. In fact, said he, it was now organised cruelty and barbarity, and not merely isolated Instances of torture. He referred to the order Issued by Gen eral Smith to make the Island of Samar a "howling wilderness," and to slay all male Inhabitants over ten years of age. , "No order recorded in history," he de clared, "paalleled that order, except that of Herod the king, when he com manded that all the male children who were m Bethlehem, and in all the coaata thereof from two years and under should be slain in order that he might the more surely compass the death of Him ' of whom It was said He came to be the king of the Jews, the Christ and Savior of mankind." . - .' " . "I feel," he continued, "like calling upon the great, brave and humane man now in the White House to probe' these things to the bottom and at least, to make them odious." , In discussing the agricultural situation in the PhflirjDlnas. Mr. Simmons confessed! to a feeling of alarm for his own section of the country over the prospect of the admission to the United States of the products of the Islands, for with the cheep labor there those products could i n m u m 1 1 nn i n win- fi Itn't South Africa."

HOT AFTER BEEF TRUST And In the Face of It Prices Are Peshed Farther Up. - '. Chicago, April 28. Whether the in junction proceedings against the alleged beef trust are brought out or not there is no questioning the fact that Judge Day, the government's special attorney, believes strongly In getting at the pre liminary proceedings as toon as possible. He arrived at the office of United States District Attorney Betbea in the Monad nock block an hour before most business men were at their breakfast tables. Mr. Bethea was no laggard himself,; and the attorneys conferred at once and some evidence was given by persons supposed to know the inside of the packers' af fairs. It is said to be convincing In Iti nature. It goes almost without saying, however, that the statements as to the strength of the evidence do not come from either Mr. Bethea or Mr. Day. There are few Indications that the case will go before the federal court until the last of this week or first of next. 'Attorney General Davis, of New York will use the evidence collected in Chicago this week as ammunition for the fight he Is to begin against the trust under the law of the state known as the Don nelly anti-trust act. Its provisions are similar to those of the Sherman act. Kansas City, April 28. The packers advanced the price ot beef another half cent to the retailers today. The quota tion by the carcass this morning were 10 and 10 cents per pound. The prices during the last two weeks have been 9X and 10 cents. Grass-fed beef is beginning to come Into the market at 8 cents pound, but la little used by the retail trade in the residence districts of theclty This is largely used for canning. Tallin Birds. t. It n not a little singular that whllo the so called dumb animals have all some language of their own. a method by which each species can hold con verse with its kind, it is in the feather, ed world alone that we find any crea tures capable of being: taught to use the speech of man. Certain birds not only are capable of producing articu late words and sentences, but it would appear from many well authenticated Instances as if they possess In some measure the reasoning faculty which enables them to apply their acquired art of speech with peculiar aptitude. . The raven, the Jackdaw, the magpie and the Jay may all be trained to imi tate sounds and to utter words and even sentences distinctly, but more familiar to most people are talking birds of the parrot tribe, which acquire the gift of speech in far greater per fection than any other of their species. The voice of the parrot is also much more human In its tones. The raven is too hoarse, the Jay and the magpie are too shrill, but there are modifications in the parrot's notes when speaking that are sometimes absolutely uncanny in their weird resemblance to the "human voice divine." This superiority is due to the construction of Its. beak, its tongue and head. The parrot, too, has a wonderful memory and rarely for gets what it has once thoroughly learn eL Our Toung Folk. .
