Mr. Stewart protested against the
parage or tne resolution, but by vote
the Senate overruled his objection and
adopted the resolution by the necessary
two-thirds vote.
..t 1 o'clock consideration of the Phil
ippine tariff Ml was resumed. Mr.
leliT. who had the floor -when tne Sen
ate adjourned yesterday, continued his
speech, lie did not think1 the holding
of the inlands by this government ever
would be profitable, and he ould see
readily that it might prove dangerous.

would dare to raise such a question.
That question might be raised in the
American Congress, but nowhere else.
He felt that a profound mistake had
been made in our early treatment of the
people of the Philippines, but that ques
tion had been passed and it was now
our duty to do what was right.,
Xobody believed, he insisted, that the
IVited States could force upon the
Fiiipinos our government or our civili
zation. These people were of a differ
ent race from the Anglo-Saxon, and
-'K'h a government as would be desir
able for Americans would not be desir
able for the Filipinos. "In the whole
History of the world, said he. "no -nation
ever has elevated the people of an
other race or nation against the pro
test of the people whom it was aiempt
"d to elevate. If the people ever are
'levated,' he declared, "they must ele
vate themselves by their own efforts."

but for war.1 Had the ; administration

Jrlf the passage of the Philippine stat-
ute was a proper thine, then, he ex-
pie of those islands, and God have mercy
upon the men who contend before this
Senate that it is a just and righteous law.
I believe that the condition there is
damn-able and a disgrace to the, American-
people." .. , -. , . ' -
Mr. Pjatt of Connecticut asked Mr.
Teller whether he was entirely certain
that there was not now a majority of the
Christian people of the Philippine Islands
consenting to American government
there. " ' v
Mr. Teller replied, sayingthat if he
could trust the statement made to him
by a very distinguished army officer, and
letters written by other army officers
within the last sixty -days, therei? was
not a tithe of the Filipinos who wanted
Americans there. -
Mr. Hoar reminded Mr. Teller of the
order said to have been issued by the
Philippine Commission that the Decla
ration of Independence must not be read
in Manila sow the Fourth of July next
if that day should be celebrated there.
Mr. Teller said he would refer to that
matter before he got through. lie said
that he had now been speaking over two
hours and, a half, and as there was no
reason for haste he would proceed with
his Temarks tomorrow.
Mr. Piatt of Connecticut thought it
somewhat remarkable that- if there was
no peace and no prospect of peace in the
Philippine Islands, the army should have
been reduced from 71,000 to .40,000 men.
and was to be further reduced to 30,000.
If Senators would take facts and not
fancies, would take things as they really
were and not as they were conjured
up by "the party of protest and disap
proval, they would see that the Ameri
cans were getting along very well; that
the islands were progressing rapidly,
and that the provincial governments be
ing established there were welcomed as
a blessing to the archipelago.
Mr. Hoar remarked that the declara
tions which the Senator from Connecti
cut had turned over as a sweet morsel
under his tongue were the declarations
of a conquered and disarmed people.
Those governors, he said, had all been
appointed by American authority and
were paid by American money; and no
more value was to be given to their
statements than might have been given
to the Tory Governors of the Colonies
at the outbreak - of Ttfte revolutionary
war; -. . . .;. ';.: :
lie hoped 'that the roseate views of
the Senator from Connecticut would turn
out -to-be right; but he confessed his
fear that they would not. He spoke
somewhat contemptuously of "the free
schools" of the Philippine Islands, which
could not have the Philipnine flag float
ing over them, and where no boy could
read the Declaration of Independence.
Rnice's address to his army, or Marco
Bozzaris.
Mr. Piatt expressed his regret that
the Senator from Massachusetts had
macrti the speech which he had just made.
He said that he proposed to trust the
opinion of the Philippine Commissioners
as ,to the. condition ' of - affairs in the
islands. .
"If,'' Mr. Piatt continued, "we are a
people worthy of the name, worthy of
the living, worthy of a ' place in the
present or the future, wherever men take
up arms against the government of the
United States inany country, district or
territory, where its sovereignty prevails.
Ave will put that rebellion down. And
no perversion of the doctrines of inde
pendence, no perversion of the glory of
liberty will convince this Anieriean peo
ple that it is not its right arid its duty
to put. down armed resistance against the
. 1. . T . . i
government wherever it may rear its
hateful head." '
. In conclusion Mr. Flatt said: "I be
lieve the time is coming when the world
shall be christianized,' when the world
sharbe converted to the cause of free
government; and I believe that the
United States is a providentially appoint
ed a sent for that purpose. He who had
studied the histon- of th;s western -world

vs. the Real Thing
Some routine; business preceded the
resumption of consideration of the oleo
margarine bill in the-House of Repre
sentatives today.- The '- Senate amend
ments 'to the pension bill were "non-concurred
In, and the bill was sent to con
ference. '-.-'..'
General debate having closed yesterday
on the oleomargarine bill, it was read
for amendment, nnder the five minute
rule. . . -
The committee amendment to strike
out the adjective 'yellow" before the
word "buiter" in the proviso attached
to the first section,, to the effect that
nothing in the act should be construed
to permit any state to forbid the man
ufacture or sale "of oleomargarine in
snch form as would advise rhe consumer
of its real character, fi-ee from colora
tioa to .cause it. to look like bu tter,
caused some discussion until it was ex
plained that it was proposed to add af
ter the word "butter" the words "of any
shade of yellow." ' : "
Ma-. Henry of Connecticut, in charge
of the bill, explained, that this latter
amendment was to meet the charge that
without this modification "the proviso
might be construed ro make white oleo
margarine subject to - the tax of ten
cents. ;'. .,-:'.. ..:, , .' v '
The amendments were agreed to wlti
outv division, making the language' or
the proviso read ''butter of any shade
of yellow."
Mr. Scott of Kansas; on behalf -of
the minority of the agricultural Com
mittee, offered an amendment to sub-
Uthej. providing. .Tflat nothing in this
feumte tor tne proviso in section 1 an-
act shall be construed to, forbid a state
'to permit the manufacture. or sale of
oleomargarine in any manner consist
ent with the laws of said state, provid
ed that it is manufactured and sold en
tirely within the gtato."
f e
amendment was adopted 96 to
Mr. Allen of Kentucky offered a new
section requiring the Secretary of Ag
riculture to institute an inspection of
"renqvated butter" similar to and for
the sam-i purpose as the inspection of
meat,'; and forbidding the sale of sucn
butter except when marked "renovated
butter."
. On a point of order the section was
held to be germane, and It was agreed
to 127 to 107.
Thii was a wholly expected result and
its announcement vas received with ap
plause. , '-
Mr. JRichardson of Tennesee offerea
an amendment imposing a tax of ten
per sent ad valorm on the products of
the United States Steel Corporation
and of 5 per cent ad valorem upon the
products of all other trusts in the Uni
te States. Ituled out of order.
Mr. Wadsworth moved to substitute
for the pending, bill the biU recommend
ed by nhe minority of the Committee on
Agriculture. It requires oleomargarine
to be sold only in one or two' pound
bricks indented "Oleomargarine," twice
wrared, each wrapper marked, and to
pay a tax of two cents a pound. It was
advocated by Mr. Ya(feworth and Mr.
Williams of Mississippi, and opjosed by
Messrs. Pearre of Maryland and Taw
r.y of Minnesota, and was defeated
11" to 140.
The committee then rose and the bill
and amendment were reported to the
House. A separate vote wag demanded
by Mr. Tawney of Minnesota upon the
amendment relating to the inspection
and marking of renovated butter, and it
was ordered by yeas and nays. Pend
ing this vote, Mr. Wadsworth moved
that the House adjourn. This was
agreed to 150 to 106 and at 6:15 the
House adjourned until tomorrow.

Lnnsdowne says:
The agreement may be regarded as
the outcome of events which have taken
place during the last two years in the

Britain and1 Japan in dealing with
them. Thttjugaout the? troubles and
complications which arose in China con
sequent to the Box outbreak and the
attack upon the Pekla legations, the
two powers have beeu in close and un

been actuated by similar views. We have,
each of us 'ssired that tue integrity
