called the Senate to order and began'
the- ousiness of the day without the
usual offering of prayer. There. was no
failure to have prayer in the Senate this
morning. ;
. The Philippine, Tariff bill then was
up., tho speeches, by unanimous agree
ment, being limited to fifteen minutes
each.
Mr. liaar opened the debate.
He, said that he intended to vote- for
the measure unless something was pre
sented that did not seem to be there.
Mr.v Berry of Arkansas spoke .against
the pending measure. 'He declared as
unjust Mr. Spooner's "tirade" against
the Democrats . who had voted against
the treaty of Paris. ; . ;
Mr..- Lodge of Massachusetts referred
to the acrimony of debate out .efwhich
the incident of Saturday had grown.
He said he thought it was possible to dis
cuss the Philippine question without
Senaorsx calling pacli other , robbers,
thieves and scoundrels.
Mr. Stewart made a speech in . favor
of the bill and Mr. Bacon argued against
it. as did Mr. Vest and Mr. Culberson.
Mr. MeComas, occupying time assigned
to him for discussion of the 'Philippine
bill, made a statement in regard to the
declarations on the part of Senator
Wellington last week in relation to prom
ises Mr. Wellington said the late Presi
dent. McKinley had made him in regard
to the future holding of-the Philippine
Islands by the United States. '. ,
"My colleague." said Mr. McCoroas,
"has twice stated that President McKin
ley gave him : assurance ,vhich induced
htm to vote for the treaty of Paris,
which assurances were. not fulfilled. My
colleague's statements vary from each
other. I was present at the conversa
tion hiy colleague had with the President
concerning the treaty." . :
Mr. MeComas said! that this charge
was absurd and was without founda
tion. . ' -
" As soon" as Mr. MeComas had taken
his seat; Mr. WeFlington was on his feet
demanding" i;ecognition. Senator Frye,
who was in the chair, had a list of
Senators who had been accorded time to
speak, and Mr. Berry of Arkansas, being
the r4xt on that list, proceeded with his
remarks. , , 1
At 2:1," o'clock Senator Wellington ob
tainerl the floor. When he arose to
address the" Senate there was an audi
ble stir throughout the chamber. Sen
ators thronged in from the .cloak rooms
to take their seats and the occupants
of the galleries leaned forward to give
closer attention. -It had been, generally
noised about that the 'Senator would
reply to Mr. VlcCoiuas. and it was ex
pected that- his remarks. , would be Tig
orons. . : . .
Senator Wellington said that he eu
tend again upon the debate with reluc
tance, but that the junior Senator from
Maryland had deemed fit in his remarks
to make a personal attack upon him and
to endeavor to cast. doubt upon the verac
ity of statements he bad made on many
occasions. Mr. Wellington declared that
his colleague had given evidence that his
memory was not as good as his own.
and that he was either ignorant of what!
was at issue in this controversy or had
stated that which was untrue.
Mr. Wellington reasserted that he was
not mistaken in regard to his recollection
of his interview with the late President (
McKinley. - .
'The Senator" (referring to Mr. Mc
Colnast "said that I had received no
message that the President desired to
see me.'' said Mr. Wellington. "That
again is untrue. I did receive from
the President of the United States,
through a channel that I believed to be
reliable, a message that he would be
glad to see me and talk over this mat
ter with me. When I went to see the
President of the United States my col
league was with mev but he did not hear
all the conversation. I reassert today
that the President upon flint occasion
did i make the promises of which I have
spoken during the last week. I reiterate
what I have said on many occasions
when I have addressed the people out
side of the Senate in saying that I be
lieved the President meant to carry out
those promises when he made them, but
because of sinister and malign influences
he was gradually drawn away, and he did i
drift., drift and drift.
"I do not stand alone In this matter,"
a sserteel Mr. Wellington, as he drew
himself up to his full height and then
remained motionless for a few moments.
"I will go further now," he continued.
"I will say that, the'sama 'promises that
were made to me were made to another
Senator of the United States, and Ve is
upon the floor now "
The declaration w as made In an in
tensely tragic tone cf voice, -ivh)"le Mr.
Wellington, poised on his toes, seemed to
wait as if tho Senator to whom he re
fei red might rise in,his !place and indorse
v.-hat he said." There being no interrup
tion ho then qualified, tie statement that
the Senator v.-as fit that moment on the
floor by saying:" "! will say, this in clos
ing."' said Senator Wellington. "1 desire
to be within the rules of the -Senate. I
desire to say nothing beyond Them, noth
ing . that will transgress them, but I
will say this '
Here the Senator paused for a moment,
and ,an intense stillne-ss reisPed in the
chamber.
"I will say," he continued, "if my col
league trill at any time, out of this cham
ber, say that what I hare said is not
correct, I vvilt tell hiiu what I cannot i
sa,v in this chambei--that he' utters' a '
cowardly and lnalicioud ' falsehood." 1
A murmur of agitation ran through the !
Senate. Senator Hoar arose in bis place J
and 4-alled tne senator from Jiaryland
to order.
"The Senator will take his s?at," com
nir.ikled the presiding officer.
Senator Wellington sat dosvn and Sen
ator Hoar said that his point of order
was that the Senator had transgressed
parliamentary amenities.
"The chair sustaiun the point of or-i
tier," said the . presiding officer. !
Another minute of silence followed, and
then Senator Allison took, the "floor to
speak upon the general Philippine ques
tion.' - -f-
'Speeches were made by Senators Alli
son of Iowa, Hanna""of Ohio,. and Fair
banks of Indiana... in support of the
bill and -hy Senators Clay of Georgia
and Ilawlins of. Utah, against, it;
. Mr. Hanna sttid- that, while hs had;
not intended to speak on the .bill, some
statements had beea-made ja tlife, de
bate, which he could not let pass with
out comment. With the reisonablo
differences of the two Seuafors from,
Maryland he had nothing to do." but
when statements were made involving
the, action of a President whose lips
were now closed -in death he felt it
time for him to :eak. , .
""And now," said he, with emrliarie
solemnity of manner, - "the -ta;m -nt
that a promise was given our dead
I'r'e.derir wit' respect to the P'iiii;)i'ne
Islands, T-hieh was not kept, I resent
if! the name of the American people."
(Applause in" the . - galleries.) "There
might have . been," , he . continued, "a
misunderstanding, but, " if any. refuta
tion of the charge wove needed the char
aster of i'reisident. McKinley o.tgnt to
afforo a sufficient refutation."
Miv Fairbanks sa,id that, in this au
gust assembly of the American people,
there was no place for other than de
liberate word-s, word's, of counsel, worde?
of reason, words of "patriotism in tho
uignest and inllcst sense. The reswoa
slbility had come unexpectedly, and it
was for the Senate to rise to the "occa
sion and meet Its requirements as Am
erican patriots should meet them.
South Carolina lifr0lili
Four o'clock having arrived, the
Senate proceeded to vote on the bill
and amendments. . The first amendment
which was agreed to without division
was. to limit till July 1st, 1904. the
time for withholding the operation of
the laws governing the coastwise trade.
The next amendment was one offered
by Mr. Patterson of Colorado repeal
ing the anti-sedition statute of the Phil
ippine, Commission. In taking the vote
the nanies of two South Carolina Sena
tors were not included, they having
been adjudged in contempt. A voint
of order was made by Mr. Turner of
California, that the names must be
called. The point, of order was over
ruled by the presiding officer against
the protf st of Mr. Patterson, who de
manded Ther'nfr it was tv'tnin he
power r-f the President of the Senate
to ?isfrancbt the State of South Car

Mr. Patterson was called to order by
Republican Senators and was directed

IN BALTIMORE
Train Stopped Long Enough
for Words of Welcome
Baltimore, Feb. 24. The train which
bore Prince Henry of Prussia to ; the
National Capital, made an exceedingly
slow run from Jersey City to Baltimore,
but there was no desire to make

time 4ts run that it would not reach

comfortable in his car and train and
thanked the President's delegates and
the railway, officials for the arrange
merits made for his transportation. He

at some time during the journey through
the country, and it was arranged thao
he should do so somewhere in the moun
tains of Pennsylvania at the outset of
his southern tour later this week. ,
There were no demonstrations during
the night run of the train. The sturc
was made so' Jate that there were ni)
crowds- anywhere. In Maryland during

The Princes" stay in Baltimorewas
necessarily very brief. The train ar
rived at 0 tv clock and was met at Union
station by tho Mayor of Baltimore and
an escort of twenty-four : prominent
citieus. Two hundred members of the
various German singing, societies were
also admitted to the station, but none
of the big ciowd wheiu congregated in
the streets was allowed :to approach
the special train. Prince Henry came
out of lus apartment in the rear car'jof
the long train and Mayor Hayes was
pre sented to ;lviu as he stood upon the
rear platform by Mr. ,Yon. Lingeii,, ihe
German Consul here.
The Mayor said:
"It fs my dury and pleasure to ex
tcua to you, in behalf of the people of
Baltiniore," a cordial g.nd sincere wel
come. We have here a city which bears
the name of an English Lord, and
which contains a number of the best
people in the world. Of those a -large
proportion are of German borth or pa
rentage but while they letain all their
love for tha 'Fatherland'" they are none
the' less loyal citixens of their adopted
country. We have always held in-the
highest respect yui illustrious father,
your Queenly mother arul that noble ws
man, your grariiiuother, vho embodied
iti herCif all the attributes that go-to
make un the perfect woman.
The Mayor then presented an f n
giossed copy of the resolutions of wel
come, which have been adopted by ithe
City Council, aud the Prince, accepting
it, replied: . -
"I thank yoa heartily, sir, for your
cordial welcome and kind words and beg
that you will say to the people of Bal
timore, lor ane, that I thank them too,
wkh all my heart." ,
The chorus of singers then rendered
several German national airs and after
a stay of twenty minutes the train pull
ed out amid the cheers of the -crowds
which lined the bridges over the tracks.
