the employment of the antl-lmpcrlallstl" ilo--trine,"
declared Spoonor. "And since the
ratification of tho treaty of peace he has
not omitted It from a single speech. I say
there Is no Issue as between Imperialism
and antl-lmperlallsm ex 'cpt as It lus been
mide for political effect. Th Philippines
are territory of the I'nlted States. Who
can dispose of If Tho president? No.
It Is for congress to say whether wo shall
hold those islands or cdo them to home
body else. That Issue Is not here now ex
cept for party and partisan purposes. It
Is a forced Issue, a wicked Issue. It Is my
opinion that It has already caused the ex
penditure of millions of money and tho loss
of many valuable lives and at a time, too,
when no party can make It a legitimate
Issue."
"What does the benutor propose to do
with the Philippines?" inquired Allen,
Spooner To enforce the authority of the
government In the Islands.
Allen Then what?
What tn Do Willi TIipiii.
Spooner To give the people honest, even
handed Justice and good government, to
protect llfo and-property, to fill the land
with school houses, to give the people such
part In tho government os they may show
themselves tlttcd for, to maintain the laws so
honestly und firmly that no man. however
rich, will bo beyond their reach, nnd no
man, however humble, that he may not have
their protection.
Allen That will take years. .
Spooner Yes. It will take years, but all
theso things being accomplished, where Is
your Issuo of Imperialism?
Allen Then what do you propose to do?
Spooner I do not expect to be here. 11
will tako years. That Is why I say It la
wicked and baneful to endeavor to make
the issuo now.
Allen Will tho time ever come when the
people will govern themselves?
Spooner Tho power to glvo those people
self-government lies with no president.
It lies with congress. It the time shall
come when tho Filipino people show an
ability to govern themselves tho American
people will give them self-government.
Allen Ycj, but will the republican party
glvo It to thorn?
"Ah," responded Spooner, "there l the
trouble with the senntor from Nebraska an(l
those who- think with him. It Is' partyr
party part. They novcr rise nbovoparty"
And turning to Allen, ho asked, sharply,
"What would tho populist party do?"
"Tht populist party would do what tho
republican U loo ertwardly to do," replied
Allen warmly. "We would offer to theso
peoplo tho blessings of civil liberty Im
mediately and not go to them with shot and
shell. Then we would protect them ogalnst
tho gwd nnd encroachments of Europe."
People Will .Vol lie lleecH eil. ,
"That Is all very well," replied Spooner,
"merely to listen to, but I do not think the
senator knows what the. populist or demo
cratic party will do flvo yeartt from thla time.
Tho people will net bo deceived. They will
rcaltzo that our soldiers In the- Philippines
are suffering becnuso of your effort to manu
facture an obfeure duty."
After explaining tho bill under discussion,
nnd saying It was merely a temporary jneas
uro to Jndlcato that congress wan behind the
president lu his effort to give a good govern
ment to a peoplo 7,000 miles away, Spoonor
said In conclusion:
"Tho American people will stand behind
tho American army wherever It may bo
undor our Hag."
"Right or wrong?" asked Pcttlgrew.
"It will bo right," responded Spooner,
hotly, "but the American people will de
tormlno that question; not tho senator from
South Dakota. Wo will do what Is generous
anil right. We will glvo them good govern
ment honest government. If wo come upon
a (lUlionef.t employo wo will send him to the
penitentiary. Then tho day will come when
thcou peoplo are enjoying tho blessings of
prosperity, contentment and good govorn
mcnt, when tho American people will grant
them nn autonomous government. When
wo have erected a government In Cuba stable
nnd strong, when wo have conferred tbo
hlesslngs of elvll liberty upon tho peoplo of
Porto Ulco, when we have given to tho
Filipinos such ii government and Mich an
administration ns they never dreamed of,
then we shall have worked out a consum
mation moro glorious and given n greater
example of what liberty can do than has
over before been seen In the history of tho
world." (Applause.)
Speech of Senator llneon.
Senator Bacon bald his purpose was to
uncertain whether the millions had been ex
pended honestly, economically Hnd prop
erly In Cuba, oven though tho books might
balanco nnd show no discrepancies. Ho
called attention to tho largo expenditures
mado by tho oftltials In Cuba for "per
diem," "miscellaneous," "salaried," "car
riages and equlpmont" and declared these
subjects never had been Investigated, nl
though tho Postolllce department's atten
tion had been directed to them. Thoro had
been, he said, such n locBneEH and lack of
business methods In the conduct of Cuban
atfftlrs that It called for n mosl rigid and
Bcarchlng investigation.
Ho declared, In dlscustlng tho various de
partments of tho Cuban government, tho
"moBt onormotirt salary lists wore shown
that anybody ever saw."
The civil salary list alouo for lS9fl was
over $3,000,000, .which ho thought was un
paralleled, nacon declared that no account
of the enormous expenditures of the firm
half of 1809 had boon mado to the govern
ment and said that In view of tho facts
brought out it was unreasonable to ask
that the Investigation nhonld bo left to the

exorbitant sum, demanding rigid Investi

ment to rtohert P. Porter, r.s a tariff ex
pert, of $500 n month for five mouths be
sides $3,100 as cxpenoe money.
He desired also to direct attention to tho
reported fact that the Vanllorne syndicate
had been organized with a capital of $S.f)00,

the Interest of this wyndlcatc. Inasmuch
oh tho tariff on machinery and equipment
of rnllroads had been recommended to bo
reduced from 10 to 10 per cent by Porter
he believed that tho matter required kte.i

Later they will deal with tho custom house.
There Is no suggestion that frauds nro sus

making arrangements for tho purchase of

himself as being surprised at the state

that his mission here was a diplomatic, as
well ns a business, one, and added that
tho Turkish government has n minister hero
who attends to all diplomatic matters. Ills
mission here, he declared, was ' technical

Ho already haa visited thb National Armor

NHW YORK, May 21. Price, McCor
mlck & Co., one of the largest brokerage
houses in the city, failed today, with lla
hllltffl estniated at $1.1,000,000. The firm
Is a member of tho Stock, Cotton and Pro
duce exchanges nnd of tho Chicago Stock
exchange and hns branches In about thirty
cities throughout the country.
The failure Is accredited to tho fact that
tho company was long In tho face of n
fast falling market. Tho notice nn the
door of the offices of the company referred
all Inquirers to William .1. Curtis and Wll
llnm N. Cromwell, assignees. Cromwell
said late this afternoon that It wrs Impowl
hle to make any statement at this hour
concerning tho condition tho firm, that
Its business is very extended and covers
t'overal branch agencies.
The total liabilities, he s.ild. are about
$13,000,000. nearly all of which was secured.
The firm Is ecmposed of Theodore H. Price,
William (. Mccormick, It. a. M. Stewart
Wortley and Walter W. Price, with George
Crocker of Pan Francisco, n special partner
on an Investment of $500,000. Mr. Mc
cormick is of the well known Chicago fam
ily of agricultural Implement manufacturers
nnd Ste-wnrt-Wortloy l a son-ln-lnw of
Hear Admiral Schley. Crocker Is lu Kuropo
and Slow art-Wortley is on his woy back
from Kuiopc.
Early in tho day rumors were current
that n prominent Inn was in trouble and
shortly before the announcement of the
suspcnflon wns made t was generally un
derstood that Price, McCormlck & Co. was
the hOuse.
Prior to the formal announcement the
cotton market had broken twenty points,
under terrific soiling for both accounts. Tho
firm haa long been regarded as the leading
supporter of tho market und at one time
it was said the firm was going to put
August cotton up to 10 cents. The decline
of the past month, however, wns ngalnt
It and dcsplto Its efforts It could not hold
tho market up. Consequently today's de
velopments dhl not come an a total surprise,
though they had sufficient force to totally
demoralize the trade.
I'nnle'on Cotton niclinime.
Following tbo announcement of the failure
the rotton market, became panlcstrlckcn and
broko 10 to 111 points. Tho extent of the
deiiino from tho highest price, when tho
bull movement culminated, has been 122
points.
Later In the session tho market became
moro quiet, but continued to show a weuk
undertone under the generally favorable
.:rop accounts. Tbo tnnrKel at p. m.
showed a net loss of 10 to 14 points, hav
ing recovered from the extreme depression.
. Uy tho time tho failure was formally an
nounced from the rostrum of tho Stock ex
change tho room and tho street were pre
pared for tho news. Novcrthcleas, It had Its
effect. There was a rush to sell that car
ried prices down sharply. There was u dc-
cllno of about 1 point In the standard rail
way shares and from 2 to 2',4 per cent on
the balance of the list.
While tho firm was nlso a member of tho
Produco exchange the effect of the failure
there was almost wholly sentimental. Ac
cording to the rule of the exchange, the an
nouncement of tho failure was followed by
the closing out of the suspended firm's out
standing contracts on the floor of tho ex
change. Up to the close tho dealings for the firm
footed up 33,950 shares.
Stntement ill tile Creditor.
Assignees Curtis nnd Cromwell mado tho
following nnnounccraent regurdlng the fail
ure: "To the Creditors of Price, McCormlck &.
Co,: Price, McCormlck & Co. havo been
compelled to temporarily suspend payment.
We ask and ndvlse that creditors holding
stocks, bonds nnd other collateral to loans,
and already well margined, hold the loans
until reasonable opportunity be afforded the
assignees to deal with the same that un
necessary loss thereby may be avoided,"
Price, McCormlck & Co. had an oxtcnslvo
wire service and nt times were credited
with doing fully ns largo a business as any
firm on the exchange. Tho representatives
of tho firm on the exchange were IV G. M.
Stewarl-Wcrtloy, W. O. McCormlck and
Georgo Crocker, tho special partner. Most
of the business of the firm was on the Cot
ton exchango at first, nnd Its senior mem
ber and organizer was formerly of tho firm
of Hubbard, Price & Co. At that time the
older firm had a large southern stock busi
ness and hns been very actlvo nt times In
stocks favored by southern operators, al
though this lino of trado has been fur less
in volumo than lis regular commission busi
ness obtained through Its wire service to
outside titles.

$16,000. No reason Is assigned for the
suspension of business. The suspension of

caused the failure.
A few months ago the tlivu failed, with

mated. Mr. Fischer Is now busy outlining thU
Itinerary, hut tald todny that it was too
early to give any definite details of tho plan.

sentatlvo Icntz of Ohio to addrees a pro-l)ccr
meeting there.
Tho delegates havo not yet decided
whether or not they will Isaue an oflicinl
statement before leaving Washington. They
feel that under tho circumstances tills weuld
be a delicate undertaking and no matter how
carefully it was worded would be Untie to
misconstruction. Therefore it is quite piob
ablo that their statements will be confined
to whatever addresses thoy mny make at the
pro-Boer meetings which are being at ranged
for their coming tour of the country.

CHICAGO, May 24. Tho passage of tho
Gcimnn meat bill by the Ilundesr.uh, which
now seems assured, since It has puised thu
Reichstag, Is viewed differently hy tho
Chicago packers. Most of the packets havo
llttlo hope of any action favoring American
meat until Germany has tried tho law for
soniii time.
"Prlcm will advance us soon as the law
goes Into cffe.i," snld one packer. "The
stopping of imports can cnuee nothing but
an advance, for Germany cannot supply Its
homo markets. The poorer classes, of
course, will bo unable to pay the Increased
figure. Tho rich man will care nothing
about tho prices. He will be able to pay
them, When the German peoplo understand
what tho bill h.is done there will bo a new
one, hut political conditions nro such that
at present there is no hope of us getting
anything.
"I havo not heard of packers asking for
any letnllntory legislation. For my part
1 bcllovo that the thing will settle Itvlf. It
being so absurd n ono that Its operation will
convlnco tho German people of their mistake
In cutting off their meat supply to pleuta
u few agricultural dUtrlets.'
Norrls Kppsteln of tho Germnn-Amerlcnn
Provision company said- "The passage cf
this bill Is an outrage against thu Amerlmn
packer. American gcoie arc absolutely pure
and wholesome and fhould be permitted (o
enter tho German market. I know tho
laboring people of Germany want our
products. I hopo to see tho bill killed Uy
tho Ilundesrath."
Kdward Tlldcn of Llbhy. McNeill A I.lbby
said. "Unless the Ilundesrath fnlls to ap
prove the bill-the American packer will hnyo
to find another market for f,0,000,000 pounds
of satihage and canned meats. It will be a
severe loss to many packors."
Robert Malr of tho Thomas J. Upton
company said: "The hill Is n severe blow
to the Chicago packers."
"Germany has been a goo.l customer of
ours In the way of lard ond canned meats,
but has recently been a small buyer of hams
and side meats," said Michael Cudahy. '"In
fact. England Is and has been our best
customer, and her trade Is worth mor. lo the
United States In the meat line than nil the
world besides. In fact, our trado with both
Germany nnd France has been light for
somo time, except In Inrd nnd canned stuff.
It looks much ns though the ngrnrlans had
determined to prohibit our meats and that
they have developed considerable strength."
"No, I don't consider It a serious blew to
American packing interests," said C. M
Favorite of Armour & Co., In dlsccs-slng
the action of the Reichstag. "Whllo It Is
truo that quite a little bustnejs Is done with
Germany In the sausage nnd canned meat
way. It doe not cut enough figure to affect
the markets In this country."
WILL NOT AFFECT SHIPMENTS
Mrnt lllll rilrd liy the fiernuin
ItelcliKtnu Doesn't Worry .South
Omiilin I'iicIuta.
It is not thought that the new meat bill
passed by the German Reichstag Wcdnes
day will affect tho packing industry nt
South' Omaha to any great extent. The
principal restrictions nro placed on Amer
ican canned goods and fausigc. Chic 'go
has been shipping unlimited quantities of
saueagc and canned goods lo Germany,
while the South Omaha trade Is confined
mostly to salt meats and lard. No restric
tion has been placed on laid and tho new
ruling on salt moats Is not considered to bo
a bar to further shipments from this point.
One of tho packing house mnnageis mid
yesterday that ns long as tho ruling on
salt meats und lard wns not altered to any
nppicclable extent South Omaha's trade with
Germany would remain about the same.
Thcuc shipments, he said, worn very larga
and in tbo course of a year amounted to
many thousands of dollars. Just how much
this trade amounts to in twelve- months U
not known, but packers aro making ship
ments of salt meats and lord to Germany
almost every day.
Another packing house manager said that
If tho United Stntea was driven from the
German market new fields for the product
would have to be opened up nnd this would
tend to mako lower prices for somo llttl.i
time. Every one hero who Is Interested
seems to think that Chicago will bp tho
market which Is affected most by tho chunge,
as quantities of canned goods ami sau
sage are sent from that point to Germany
every day. When the dispatches fiom
Hnrlln In Tho Beo were read by In
terested parties In South Omaha It was
thought nt first thnt tho decision of tho
German government would lend to reduce
the microscopical force on duty here, but
packers do not think that there will b
any rhangn In tho German demand for
South Omaha salt meats, consequently tho
Inspection will continue us now In force
At the present time export orders aro a
llttlo slow and only four assistant micro
scoplsts are on duty t tho government
building. As the demand Incrrnsrs the foroj
will be enlarged. An none of the parke.s
appear to be nlarmed over the passage of
tho exclusion bill hy the Reichstag It Ii
Inferred that the South Omaha market will
not bo damaged.

native scouts under Mnjor Ilntwn, Fourth
cavalry and the Twenty-second. Twenty

Thlrty-sevchth Infantry. According to the
report Genernl Young started from San Fer
nnndo do Pnmpnngn on October 11, moved up
tho east bank of the Pnmpangn river, passed
around the flanks of the enemy, who wero
scattered between the river nnd tho railroad
nnd struck the sea on tho wrst coast of
Luzon to the north of both combatants, hav
ing accomplished the mission entrusted him
of protecting -the right nnd rear of MacAr
thur'g forces. Thta ride through the enemy's
untintry wns. General Young says, tecom
panled by many hnrdshln nnd a de.ll of
sharp nnd at times exceptionally fierce fight
ing. The attnek upon ond capture of S.ui
Isldro by Major Ilnltance and ft battalion of
the Twenty-second Infantry gained special
mention and high commendation In General
Young'n report.
"It Is tho finest nrtd most efficient bat
talion 1 havo ever seen In the American
army." ho says, "nnd notwithstanding n de
plorable scarcity and totnl nbnenco nt times
of food, clothing and shelter, did most re
, mnrkabln work In the face of the grentest
dlfficullet!."
Tho town was occupied hy Young's forces

haps the liveliest engagement of the whole
campaign. The report says that llatson
with his Marnbebcn also was foremost In tho
fighting at all times, repulsing gallantly a
forco of Insurgents near Tnrlac. In this
encounter Lieutenant Iloutcllo was klll-d
while charging at the head of his company.
k General Young particularly mentions the
! deplorable condition of the to.h1s and trails
At ono point he snys: "Of nil the sloughs
of despond we waded through this wns the
most diabolical and the rain was almost con
tinuous for forty-eight hours."
In another part he mentions a mnrc,h nf
"over twenty mlltu through mud knee nnd
girth-deep."
Although there wns at times stubborn re
slstanco by the Filipinos, the rnpld nnd
comnlntn manner In which they were dlv
pesfd of at lome points was almost ludl?rous.
At Tambo Barrio, the report states, a com
pany of insurgents wns attacked and dis
pensed so effectuully that they were never

600 strong, which was following In the rear
of Aguli.oldo's pack train.
"Tho unexpected appearance." says tin
report, "of the big horses with big men
astride, galloping madly through the dust,
with tho troopers yelling like madmon, soon
