THE AUTHEjmcmr if tie Submits a SCstemcR fcy Aguf Testifying ta the Geteuncnaai of General Lima's Signature to the Fa- . taJ Decree- lSENGTON; April 3. A little arer a year ago the senate adopted a resolution, calling on the secretary of war for informanon tending u show the, authenticity and genuineness of the Grder for the massacre of the residents of Manila en February 15, 1S39. The secretary of war has jost made response to th. resolution, all .cfthe time since the adopcen of' the resolntion beinz- required to complete the search for the necessary papers here and in the islands. The secretary transmits m answer to the resolution, a photccraphic re- production of tae alleged massacre or der. bearing date of February 7. 1S3S, and with this photograph are a ninn- ber of papers intended to demonstrate that it is an absolute copy of an orig inal that actually ensted and was issued by the late General Luna. Con Smiatcry evidence en this point, it is stated, is a statement by AgmnaJdo. aSrming the genuineness of Luna's signature to the order The secretary s reDort states tnat Luna was then director or assistant ' ianca?tr secretary of war of the Malolcs gov- J Lincoln ... erzment and commanding general of J510,3 -the Philippine army operating in the J xance ..." northern boundaries of the city cf ilamui. Scuntiico, who was a colonel of militia and wno army officers in 2599 generally believed to have been the author of this order, was a mem ber of General Luna's staff and prob- I ably the medium, through which the order was given by Luna, to the rhfofs of militia stationed in Manila. The secretary says that additional evidence as to the authenticity of the order in question is the fact as set forth in th accempaaying papers, that this Luna order was discovered m the personal eSects of Lieutenant Colonel Jcse Leyba. an intimate friend of General Luna, member of his staff. anl one of the most active officers who took part in the defense of the Philippine possessions, from Caloocaa, on the outskirts of Manila, to Tadac Finally it is stated that on February '23. 1S39. a fcrtie over two weeks after the date cf the order, a daring at- "ocir was mad by the insurrectDs- an. the American forces in Manila.

Mr. Saooaer of WamaalmMde tae prin- cipal speech. Tnaiutainingr that con gress had ample authority to enact the proposed legislation because it was in the interest of the people. In an earnest protest against the measure Mr. Test of Missouri held that congress was invading the powers of the states. Mr Scott of West Tir gaia moved to recommit the measure to the committee, holding that it was unsatisfactory to any senators and ought to be perfected. The motion was defeated. 35 to 37. During; the afternoon a perfect flood of telegrams poured into the senate from all parts cf the country urging senazcrs either to f support or to oppose the measure. The measure as passed by the sen ate differs in some respects from that passed by the house of representatives. It provides that oleomargarine and kindred products shall be subject to all the laws and regulations-of any 3tate or territory or the District of Columbia into which they are trans ported, whether in ongmal packages or otherwise; that any person who sells oleomargarine and furnishes it for the use of ethers except to his own lamily, who shall wh with: it any artinciai coloration that causes it to Icok like butter, shall be held to be a manufacturer and shall be subject to the tax provided by existing laws; that upon oleomargarine colored to re semble butter a tax of-10 cents a pound shall be levied aad upon all process or renovated butter the tax shall be one-fourth, or 1 cent a pound. j The manufacturers of renovated butter I shall pay an annual tax cf K00. the J wholesale dealers shall pay a tax of I $450 aad the retail dealers a tax of ' X45 per annum. The measure provides regulations for the collection, of the. tax -and pre-1 scribes minutely ho- the various produces are to be prepared for mar ket. Mr Harris of "Kansas submitted an J amendment placing a tax of 10 cents a pound on adulterated butter and a tax of one-quarter of 1 cent a pound I on process or renovated butter and providing regulations for the collec- J tion of the taxes, whica. was adopted, j t m 26 The Terba! amendments suggested by Mr. Foraker earlier in the session were adopted.

ATTITUDE; SOME- WHAT MKUNOERSTOGC. WASHINGTON, April C Senator tatiich. who aad just returned from. "had a- conference with r Roosevelt in relation, to the . jjrigition measure now pending "before As a result of the interview .Dietrich said the president's fjssrticnJn relation to. ,tneIi riaailon. bill was greatly exaggerated;: that he did not insist upon a change in the bill as indicated and he said if any measare looking- to the reclamation of lands in the west was presented to the president he believed he would? sign it. I am in great hopes that an irriga tion measure- will be agreed upon." said Senator- Dietrich. "Nebraska and the west need irrijation What we j. want is to bring together the varied interests aad unite upon some meas ure that we can all support. I had hoped that the measure passed by the senate and now- pending in the house would be acceptable vo all sections. I am still hopeful of good results, and jay talk with the president today leads me to believe that some irri gation bill will pass conzress at this session, because I feel sure the presi dent is with us in our fight for the right." President Roosevelt gave an hour or more to the conference on the sub ject of irrigation, and mere particular ly to the details of the bill now pend ing in congress providing fcr a plan ox national irrigation. Congressman. Mondell of Wyoming. who has been, one of the most active advocates of an irrigation measure, called for the conference, there be ing with kirn Representatives Tongue. Newlands, Terrell and Sutherland of the irrigation committee ot the house, together with George E- Maxwell and Chief of Forestry Davidson PmchaL The conference extended over a wide range and was interesting in that the president outlined his position re garding the measure that is before congress. It was ascertained that it will not be Tirrnaa rj to strike oar the-section of the bill having relation to the state and territorial control of the use and distribution of the water. It was agreed that the phraseology of the section should be changed, but that it should not alter the purpose of the section. Another marrpr- for modification is tfrr portion of the bill affecting the withdrawal of lands from entry. It is desired that bona fide settlers shall take the faH under irrigation estab lished by this bill rather than throw the lands open to speculation, and this feature win be closely looked after by the members of the committee having the bin in charge. Mr. Monden at the close of his con ference with the president said: "Speaker Henderson has indicated that this bfll shall be given time in. the house for discussion. No date, however, has been fixed. We are hopeful that an. early date wfll be set. when we can discuss this most vital auestictt properly, and I am convinced that if we get this bfll before the house its justice win appeal to the body of which I am. a member."
