CROSSFIRE WHEELER AND GROSVENOR EX CHANGE LIVELY WORDS FORMER ASSAILS PRESIDENT He Denounces Our Attitude Toward England as Flunkeyism Thinks It Proper that Lord Pauncefote Be Ordered Home WASHINGTON Feb 15 The mo notony of a private pension day of the house was enlivened by an im passioned speech from Mr Wheeler of Kentucky in denunciation of what he denominated flunkeyism to for eign countries He took the recent statements emanating from the conti nental cabinets regarding the attitude of Great Britain during the Spanish American war as a text for a whole sale attack upon the trend of the United States recent diplomacy He severely scored Secretary Hay and de clared that if Lord Pauncefote had sought as was alleged to circumvent this country during the war of 1898 the sooner he was shipped across the seas the better He also criticised the president for his reported intention to send his daughter to the coronation of King Edward and protested against the offi cial reception of Prince Henry His speech aroused the house to a high pitch of excitement and elicited from Mr Boutell of Illinois a spiced defence of Secretary Hay whom he eulogized in high terms Several members took a hand and later in the afternoon Mr Grosvenor of Ohio took Mi- Wheeler to task for his inop portune protest and rehearsed the history of the visit of the prince of Wales to this country in 18G0 and his reception by President Buchanan Mr Wheeler excoriated what he termed the modern disposition toward European flunkeyism Until 189G he said all Americans had gloried in the splendid isolation of the republic and its determination to hold aloof from foreign entangling alliances Less than five years ago he declared a president goaded on by the pitia ble flunkey in the State department had stretched his arms across the seas in adulation to the people of Great Britain and today the government was hugging to its bosom that which since the battle of Yorktown had systemat ically and persistently plotted our downfall I have respect for the present oc cupant of the White House I frankly avow said the speaker I think he is too honest to be palatable to the average republican partisan A little Quixotic it is true hasty tempered full blooded and not exactly desirable to many of our citizens and I indulge the hope that the lingering element of Americanism will induce him at the first opportunity to boot out that man in the State department who in my judgment has brought us to this hu miliating condition He continued England a friend of the United States I would to God she were but what a spectacle have we presented in order to boast that we have the friendship of Great Brtain and have become a world power For more than four years we have witnessed Great Britain maintaining military stations inside the borders of two republics We have seen her agents going up and down this coun try enlisting men and buying mate rials of war and I believe I will not travel outside the record when I as sert that any member upon this floor who has served here as much as four years has received letters from his constituents protesting against the enforced enlistment of American boys by the English government to do bat tle in South Africa We have swung further away from the democratic traditions from repub lican ideas and republican principles in the last five years than in the

FILIPINOS PETITION FOR PERIY1A NENT UNION WITH AMERICA SEND A MEMQB1AL TO CONGRESS Says Natives Desire a Definite Civil Form of Government All Provlncos Except Two Said Now to Be Peace ful WASHINGTON Feb 13 The me morial of tho federal party of the Philippine islands was transmitted to the senate yesterday by the secretary of war together with a letter of transmittal by Governor Taft in whose charge the document was given The memorial was adopted at an ex traordinary session of tho federal party held In Manila in Noevmber It sets forth that the performance of that obligation of the treaty of Paris which gave the United States congress au thority to fix the statutes of tho Phil ippine islands has been deferred to this time because of the attack by the Filipinos upon the sovereignty of the United States an act brought about the memorial says through a misunderstanding and not through hatred of the American sovereignty It further states that out of the sixty provinces and districts war ex ists in only two Batatngas and Sa mar It also asserts that it is a dem onstrated fact that the pueblos or towns anxiously desire a definitive civil rule and says that those who are still in arms allege the lack of a civil regime agreed upon and pro mulgated by the congress of tho United States as a weigh ty pretext for their belligerent attitude which regimo shall determine at once the political status and civil rights of the inhab itants of the archipelago in accord ance with the treaty of Paris The memorial then makes a pres entation of the deduction of the fed eral party that congress should pro ceed to carry into effect its intention of defining the future of the Philip pines in their relations to the United States and asserts that there Is no reason for not replacing the military regime by a civil rule of a popular character in conformity with the de cisive words of the never-to-be-forgotten President McKinley The memorial proper is divided into two parts The first of these is a pe tition for annexation and a presenta tion of the form of government de sired In this subdivision the federal party sets forth that it has made an exhaustive study of both the Filipinos and tho Americans and concludes that from the mass of data collected It is the intention of the two peoples that they should never be disunited The memorial then proceeds To make the Philippines a colony of the United States or to grant in dependence to the Philippines would be to hand the islands over to disorder and to anarchy to destruction and to chaos In effect the colonial system involves the principles cf difference of citizenship in equality of rights and other consequent abuses and in justices of all of which we Filipinos were surfeited under the Spanish gov ernment and for this reason we re ject everything which tends toward a colony Philippine independence with or without a protectorate means a holding of power by all the tribal ele ments of the secas which predominate and would predominate still for years until the anger of Filipinos toward Filipinos shall have become complete ly calmed education become general and the fanaticism we have inherited from Spain exiled Federation or an nexation would settle all these cVfficul ties by concentrating the interest of the Filipino people upon education and labor HOPE FOR AMERICAN SUPPORT British Papers Think We Sympathize with Alliance LONDON Feb 13 The liberal aft ernoon newspapers view the alliance between Great Britain and Japan with mixed feelings and conservative or gans generally applaud it The St James Gazette conservative express es modified surprise at this wide de parture from British traditional pol icy but finds solace in the thought that the policy and interests of the United States are identical with those of Great Britain and Japan and con cludes Perhaps we shall find when the policy of Great Britain is definitely known that the United States is formally or informally a party to the league of peace in the far east At any rate no effort should be spared to secure its adhesion Destroys Many Buildings PITTSBURG Feb 13 An early morning fire at Haverhill Pa on the West Penn
