WASHINGTON , Feb 4 This was another day of expansion oratoty In the senate. In presenting n resolution declaring that the Philippines shall bo given nn equal clitneft \vllh * Cubi , Allen of Nebraska stated thit Jic would address the senate Monday < n the question. The speakers today were Mr. Chllton of. Tcxns and Mr. Wolcott ot Colorado Mr. Chllton made a constitutional argument In support of the resolution , his principal ob jection to the annexation of- the Philip pines .being that It would admit to thH country both the Filipino ? nnd the prod ucts , to como Into competition with the worklngmen and their products. ITU pro posed nolutlon of the pending problem wai the establishment of a , republic In the Phil ippines , over which the United States would exercise such care as It gives the republic of LlbcrlR .Mr. Wolcott made an eloquent almost Impassioned appeal to the nenate for the ratification of the trcatj. Ills tribute to the administration fop the ( successful conduct ot the war and to the peace commissioners for their successful efforts In behalf ot taelr country was the feature of hla speech. At the beginning ot todnj's session Allen of Nebraska offered the following ; rccolu- tlon 1 That the senate of the United States , In ratifying or confirming the treaty of ,3'arls , docs not commit Itself or the gov ernment to the doctrine that the Islands acquired by virtue of the wnr with Spnln are to be annexed or me to become a part ot the United States , and that the dif ference In the language- nalil treaty ns respects the Island of Cuba and Its In habitants and the Iidaud of Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands and their Inhabitants shall not bo construed or be held to bo n difference In effect , but that It Is the In tention and purpose of the senate In ratify ing said treaty to place tlie Inhabitants of the Philippine Inlands jnd Porto nice In exactly the sime' position nn respects their relations to the United States ai uro the In habitants of Cuba Mr. Allen gave notice that he would ad dress the senate upon the resolution Mon day. IMiMIc 1'ollcj AnttiKiiiilriMl. Mr. Chllton of Texas then addressed the senate on the various nntl-expnnslon resolu tion ! . Ho asserted that ho wns not an nntl- expansionist or antl-anne > catlonlst Within proper bounds he regarded It ns the duty of this country to widen Us territory Ho thought the acquisition of Porto Rico nnd the island ot Guam was well conceived , but in the acquisition ot the Philippines a grave public policy wns Involved He believed such acquisition Involved serious perils nnd that dangers to our government nnd Institu tions would constant ! } menace us. He did not regard the annexation of the Philip pine * ns at all similar to that of Louisiana. California and other tenltory now a part of the United States. Ho also expressed his belief that If we ook the Philippines and they became a part of this countrj , our people would never cease to regret It , Mr. Chllton said If our operations were confined to Porto Rico and Cuba v\e would need no Increase In the standing army but if the Philippines were taken we should require nn army of 200,000 men to subjugnto the scattered and turbu lent elements In the Islands nnd pensions would be piled on pensions. Ho declared his belief that the supreme court would hold that congress had no power to prevent the Filipinos from passing from ono part of Iho country to another , but even If the In habitants were shut out , their products would not be , nnd could not be Stilton Mii I'rotfft TtiCMiiml\tH. Mr. Foraker of Ohio , Interrupting Mr Chllton , called Ills attention to authorities for tha statement that it would be compe tent for nny state of the union to protect itself In uny way It saw fit , by levjIng im port duties on Importations from the Philip pines. This point was shnrply controverted by Mr. Chllton The laboring people of the countrj , he added , hnd caught the nlarm and he read a letter he had received from the National Clgnrmakers' union , urging congress not to annex the lUlllppincs , on the gnound that it would demoralize the labor market of this country. Mr. Plntt of Connecticut said ho had studied the question pretty carefully and he was satisfied that neither the I-lllplnoH nor their products could come Into this country unless congress so provided Mr Chllton re plied that this was merely the opinion of Mr. Plait and was of no nctunl force or effect. Ho hnd .examined the question \ury carefully nnd had reached ttio opposite con clusion. Mr. Chilton finished at 1-55 p. m , , and Mr. ' Wolcott , republican of Colorado , followed. He Bald he stood by his government , and would have supported any treaty presented \ by the commissioners. Mr. Wolcott denounced the wrangling over the treaty.

Mr Bacon expressed the opinion today that there would be no objection to nvote on the resolutions , \l any time from among the members of the opposition , but said that the objection was directed entirely at the proposition to fix a definite time for a vote so near the time for action on the treaty The friends of the treaty will find them selves short of the votes nece&sary.to ratify the treaty and some of them candidly confess that such Is the caee They are , how ever , still hopeful that -the shortage will be made good before Monday. silicons * CLAIMS roil noir.M'V , . .lliirliifN AVIio Millie SpniilMli Sliljm Auk for I Hiial Ac'Unou Ifiln'ix'i'1.
