Britain and thereby sectiro a reciprocity treaty, than to be an Inhabitant of tho Philippines, which wo hold as a part and parcel of this country. Ho snld that a proper solution of the 1'hlllpplno question would bo a declaration by congress that the Inhabitants of the Islands should bo given Independence as soon bb a safe and stable government coulil be maintained. Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts, In a fifteen mlnutn speech, explained the reasons which Induced him to opposo tho passing of tho bill, lie' declared that wo had overpowcrod the Fllip'lnos, but had not conquered them; tho same spirit of liberty which led them to rebel against the tyranny of Spain still animated thorn. This bill, which proposed to to them at both ends of Uio line, would naturally arouso their resentment. firosvonor Tnhu n llnml. Mr. Onwenor of Ohio called attention to tho fact that tho republican administration had tried to avoid tho witr with Spalu, "At that time," said he, "tho same thoughtless cry of liberty rang through this hall. I bellovr If It hail not been for the ex plosion of the Maine there would not have been any war, but that all the results which have followed would linvo neon women out cxctt tho acquisition of the Philippines. I wish tho opposition would stand with us as loyally In benHng tho burdens of that war on It was In driving us Into It. (Applause.) Mr (Irosvenor recalled the storm of crit icism against a similar hill for tho benefit of Porto Hlro. Hut It had passed nnd money had been made available. Mr. Oron vonor described tho botiellclcnt result of the bill In tho Island of Porto Itlco. Turning to the question of reciprocity he doclarod that tho republican party was practically solid as to what should bo done. Those who were yelling for tariff revision, Iib snld, wcro about ns numerous for tho amount of no'se they malco as was tho coyoto which disturbed Grant's slumber on tho western plains, Hpfer to Mt'Klnlf ' M'iuli. "Has the gentleman forgotten ho last Bpeech of tho lato President McKlnlcy?" usked .Mr. Hmyer of Massachusetts. "1 have not," answered Mr. Grosvcnor. "I wish thu gentleman would take that speech and read It and act upon It. If ho does he- will rlso In my estimation ninety odd per rout." Keforrlng to tho provision In tho bill relative to tho suspension of tho eonst wlso navigation Iuwh on vessels plying be tween tho United States and tho Philip pines Mr. Grcsvenor said tho provision was necessary because of congested trade. "Hlnco this bill was proposed," he said, "I learn that possibly we were In error as to our fnctn and' tho coastwise vessels mar soon bo ciblo to come to tho rescue. If that process Is true the provision can be stricken out In tho senate Sneaking of tho Tnft commission he was saying that one of tho membors of that commission was a distinguished Tennojaco democrat whon Mr. Pearce of Tennessee interrupted to say that In tho campaign of I'jOO Luro E. Wright, to wiiom Mr. tiros vonor had referred, had voted tho straight republlcun ticket. Spirit ir luilerieiulcnec Alive. Mr. Shafroth of Colorado, Vfho has re cently returned from tho Philippines, vigor ously opposed tho bill Hoi declared that there were many popular 'misapprehensions about the Filipino poopje. There was u highly educated class among theni,pcr fectly capablb of conducting, a government and of governing themBolvoH. A govern ment by strangers must fall In many ro spects. Mr. Shafroth went ovor a list of tho salaries paid to tho American olllclals In tho Philippine to show tho Interests of tho. poor, natives' who paid tho taxes. Mr. Shafroth declared that tho spirit of Independence and liberty lived In tho Fil ipino ns well as tho American and that un til the Filipinos wcro freo tho situation could not bp satisfactory to them or to us Mr. Do Armond of Missouri, who also has recently roturncd from the Philippines, aroused much enthusiasm on tho demo cratlc sldo by a denunciation of tho pent! lug "nieasuro and of tho entire policy of tho administration. " lie Ariimiitl Denniiitci-it Policy. Ho declared that tho bill proposed login latlng after (he manner of tho empire. Jt disregarded the rights of the Filipinos as well -an. thu American representatives. It was legislation by tho War department legislation by alien for alien. Ho declared tho necessity of taking tho Islands or of keeping them out (democratic npplauso). "Wo ncqulred them In folly," said ho "lot us dlapoao of them In wisdom. I Almost every man In tho Islands longs for Indo pchdenco nnd liberty. How long will It ho boforo another Insurrection breaks out Who can tell how many of our youth It' will lay away In country churchyards, how mnny dollars of extra levy It will cost tho people Haw much better would It (no for us to return ib tho principles of any American party and make an end of our troubles. Why not dispose of them to somo country that wilnta colonies, nnd disposition ct thorn U better tbnn retention?" CitllM It inii'rliilUtl .Mr. Patterson of Tcnnesseo denounced tho bill ns tending toward Imperialism and against, tho Intercuts of tho whole country. Tbo democrats, hn said, had alwayB favored the acquisition of territory which could be carved Into states with American citizen ship,, but opposed any colonial system. Mr. Robertson of Louisiana, n momber of tho ways and means committee, said ho would vote for the bill. The failure of this bill, ho said, In effect would mean freo trade with tho Islands, and ho was opposed to bringing tho sugar and rlco planters of Loulslnua Into free competition with tho sugar and rlco producers of the Philip- pint.. This bill would bo n notice to tho Filipino people that they never could hope for equal rights with the American citizen and must prepare for Independence. Ho kid hci bolloved freo trade with tho Philip pines and reciprocity with Cuba, which was now threatened, would nnnlhllate tho sugar Interests of his state. The house then, at 6 p. m., adjourned.

Plrerra, tho representative of tho Mnso party In Cuba, who Is nt present In this city, denying his request for n postpone ment of tho Cuban elections: Tho effect of crnutltn: thu ntmllcntloti would lie 'to prolong American occupation nnd postpone tho Independence of Cuba and thu control 'of government of the Island by Its own people. This ought not to bo done in tho Interest of nny ono can didate and without the most weighty reasons. The substance of the reasons which you present Is that tho central board of scrutiny ns now constituted I composed of gentlemen, none of wh'im Is in favor of General Mnso, und nil of whom nro In Invor of Ucnerul l'nlmn, und you declaro that that hoard Is unfair and would uo unfair in the performance or its duties. I iivnrt'il .No mihIIiIiiIc. The board to which you refer wtifl con stituted without reference to nny landl Unto rind before any candidates hud been nominated. It consist of the president find four of tho distinguished members nf tho constitutional convention elected by tho peopio of Cuba to provide ror tho es tablishment of the now government, it bad the ivnnrnvnl of the convention and of thu people whom the convention rep- rescnieu. S ncn thn hoard was thus oonstttuted candidate" for the presidency have been iiiinilnnlpri nnd It hiiiinpns that Votl lllld your menus navo uonunnieii u ciuiuuiniu Who lias no niinereni in mo imam Thnt furnishes no ground for tunv Ing tho board out of olllco or for postponing tho election nnd overturning tho election machinery carefully provided by tho representatives of thu Cuban pco nln In convention assembled, und estnb nil hir new lunch nerv for tho purpose of nuttlni: tidhureiitH of vonr candldiito Into olllco. If such a course wore adopted, new nominations would enunuy rcquiro new niiNtnoneninntii. nnd rp-arranuemeiits and un eieciion might no inuenniieiy pnsiponen. Must Uruve CliurKcs, Am tn thn nssprtlnn that the central board of hcmtlny has In fuct proved to bo unfair, something besides mero assertion is necessary. ?o incts nro sinien ny yon in stintiilu this assertion, except that you nlk'go that un Illegal selection of a dele- guuj in provincial noarn ni cuiivnssem nun unproved, nut you give nn r. pih Knowing that tho selection wn Illegal; and you Htato that there was a failure tn post n list nf tiiximvers. which thn cltv council of Havana ought to have posted on tho L".Uh of October. Tills was not the business of thn central board of scrutiny. I am Informed, moreover, by cnhlo from Havana, that tho list In question was posted on the 30th of October. Thu single dnv'H delay could not have occasioned you or your associates the slightest Injury or inconvenience, ntui an oniecuon onsen upon it Is. In tho highest degree, technical Whllo I do not for n moment suppose you Intend nny mich result, 1 ennnot avoid tho conviction thut your request calls upon the United States for that Inference with tho Cubun election which your associates hnvo deprecated, Tho presidential election must nut tnereroro no postponed. rierrn Criticise Ontrnl llonril Today Mr. Plcrra sent nnothcr letter to Socrctnry Root, asking a reconsideration o tho decbilon by tho secretary. Mr. Plorra nccltes the. omission to post the list nf the largest taxpayers referred to in his previous Jettor to tho secretary and declares the proposal prayed for need not prolong the American, occupation as suggested by the secretary. Tho central board of scrutiny he says, Is a most original creation and no similar elec tlon orrgnYilzatlon has ever existed nuywhere Ho requests that an equal number of nicm iters representing the other political can dldato bo added to the board nnd thut n similar raeasuro bo ndopted In conneqtlon with the provincial boards, In which Gen ernl Mnso has no representative. Mr. Plcrra says ho Is not hero especially to plead the cause of General Mnso or nny political party. Tho outcomo of tho dec tlon, ns things now stand, he assorts, will not bo tho stablo government which tho United States wishes to sco established In Cuba, It will bo tbo beginning of scrlou disturbances.
