He also gave his opinion that the Filipinos aro not yet capable of self-government, and said that the American troops could he withdrawn ultimately, except In the Moro country, where they would have to remain a long time. He also said that the Moros would fight to the death to retain their slaves. Some of the membera of the committee are Inclined to doubt Senor Buencamino's testimony because of his sudden change in political be liefs. Tho secretary of war has trans mitted to the senate a copy of the re port made by J. G. Livingstone, gov ernor of the Philippine province of Lorsogen. This official describes the cruel murder of two native ofllciala by the American troops, and the tor turing of another from the same town in order to force from him a confes sion. By direction of the president the standing army has been reduced by 11,000 soldiers. This action was tak en in conformity with-the provisions of the army organization law, and makes the total strength of the army to be 66,497. It is planned to divide the army into tnirds, having one-third in the Philippines at all times, and the remaining portion in the United States and elsewhere. The minority members of tho senate committee on isthmian canals have prepared a report declaring the Nlca raguan route to be Impracticable, espe cially on account of volcanic disturb ances, and favoring the Panama route.

By a vote of 7 to 4 the house com mittee on interstate and foreign com merce agreed to consider and report the Nelson bill, which provides for a department of commerce. On June 2 a conference was held at the White house between the president and leaders of the republican party In both houses, and the tariff revision was discussed. All present were op posed to it, however, expressing the belief that such a step is not desirable at this time. On the same day Senators Proctor, Nelson, Gamble, and Kittredge were called to the White house to a con ference in regard to pending legisla tion, especially as regards tho Cuban reciprocity bill and the canal bill. The president has urged action on the sub ject and it was determined that the utmost concession in the way of a re bate to Cuba should be 20, 25, or 30 per cent of the duties collected on Cu ban products. A resolution was adopted in the house on June 2 calling upon the president to furnish full information as to the investigation of tho British supply camp in Louisiana. The reso lution was a substitute for the Cockran resolution recently voted, down in the house. On June 3 Senator Cockrell pre sented to the senate a number of pa pers bearing on the appointment of Capt William Crozier to be chief of the bureau of ordnance, with the rank of brigadier general. Secretary Root has been severely criticised because of his action In this matter, but takes full responsibility for the appointment, maintaining that Captain Crozier was one of the best men to take charge of that Important office. An administration bill for the es tablishment of postal currency has been drafted by the committee ap pointed to consider the question. Thl3 bill authorizes the postmaster general to cause to be issued jpostal checks of fixed denominations, not above one dollar in even multiple of five and ten cento. These are to be redeemable or payable at any money order postofllce. A fee In addition to the face value will b charged for every check Is sued.

Duplicates will be similarly valid for three months. After tho postal check is once paid the United States shall not bo liable- for any further claim for its payment Postal checks will bo sold everywhere the regular stamps aro sold. On June 3 Senator Depew offered a substitute for Senator Platl's bill to suppress train robbery. It is as fol lows: That if any person shall wllL fully and maliciously trespass upon or enter upon any railroad train, rail road car, or railroad locomotive, with in any territory of tho United States, or any place subject to tho executive jurisdiction or control thereof, with the intention to commit murder, ron hery, or any unlawful violence upon or against any passenger on said train or car, or upon or against any engineer, conductor, fireman, brake -man or any officer or employe con nected with said locomotive, train or car, or upon or against any express messenger or mail agent of said train, or in any such car thereof, or to com mit any crime or offense against any person or property thereof, such per son shall ho punished by imprison ment not exceeding twenty years or by fine not exceeding $5,000, or both, at tho discretion of the court.
