WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Some of the
old partisan lira was Injected Into tho pro
ceedings of tho house today when the Item
In tho urgent deficiency bill appropriating
$500,000 for a military post nt Manila,
which tho denuyrats have been using as a
text for speeches In opposition, (o tho Phil
ippine policy of tho administration for tho
last three days, was reached. Mr. Cannon.
In charge of tho bill, confessed that tho npH
proprlatlon was subject to n point of order
and It went out.
In lieu thereof ho offered an amendment
to approprlato tho enuio Bum for "shelter
and protection" of tho officers and enlisted
men of tho army on duty In the Philippines.
This tho chair hold to bo In order and It nt
once became the subject of n very splrltod
debate, In which Mr. Richardson, tho mi
nority leader; Mr, Wllllamx ot Mississippi
and Mr, l)e Armond of Missouri' were pitted
ngalnst tho chairman of the appropriations
committee,
Cuiiiiiiliiff llrenh Itnnkn.
Partisan npplauso camo from each side to
cheer tho respective champions and thcro
scctnrd to bo a solid line-Up nn each side
of the political affair, lltlt whemthe vote
came Mr. Cummlngs, a Now York democrat,
voted with tho republicans, turning angrily
on bis political brethren as he did so and.
with clinched (1st In tholr farce, crying out
that ho hoped ho' might bo paralyzed when
ho refused to voto to protect an American
soldier.
Tho voto on the' adoption of the amend
ment stood, ayes 127, hays 100.
Oefore tho general debate closed Mr.
Watson paid a beautiful tribute to the Into
President McICInloy.
At tho opening of tho ncsslon Mr. Dalzcll
of Pennsylvania, from the commlttco on
rules, presented a special rulo to exclude
from tho floor of the bouse before tho ses
sion alt persons except members and others
cntltlod to tho floor. '
Hcrotoforo It lifts boon tho custom to nd
mlt nil persons to tho floor until fifteen
minutes before tho houso meets. Mr. Dal
zoll explalnod vthe new rulo was to exclude
from tho floor beforo tho session meets
pcrnono, as ho expressed It, who came Into
tho hall "principally to got out of tho cold."
In answer to questions Mr. Dalzcll said
that, visitors could bo admitted to tho floor
upon tho cards of members. The rulo was
adopted 103 to 27.
Tho houso then went Into committee of
the whoto and resumed tho debate upon the
general deflolency bill. It was agreed that
gonernl debate should ctuso at 2:20 this aft
ernoon.
Mr. Padgett of Tenndssco advocated tho
adoption of n declaration In favor ot pledg
ing tho United Statos to give .Independence
to the Philippines. f
WntNon Defend Admlnlstraillnti.
After scmo further ' r'omarks by Mr.
Candler of Mississippi ond Mr. Ztnor of
Indiana, Mr. Watson ot Indiana closed tho
genoral dobate with an hour's speech In
defonse of tho Administration's Philippine
policy. Ho denounced tho statement whloh,
he said, was made on. tho other sldo hat
the United States hod taken tho place of
Spain r.B the despoller of tho" Philippines.
He produced figures from the Spanish
hudgot to, show that 60 per cent, of all tho
revenues of tho Islands undor tho Spanish
reglmo wns diverted to tho mother coun
try. On tho other hand, he cays. every
dollar raised from taxation since tho Amer
ican occupation hn.d gone Into the Insular
territory. He then contrasted what wo
wero doing In tho Islands In tho way ot ed
ucation, public Improvements, etc., with
what was dono In the old Spanish days.
Whllo he was speaking Mr. Gaines of
Tonnessco attempted to ask htm a ques
tion. "Oh, this Is too much!" cried Mr. Wat
sort, nmld great laughter on the repub
lican side. He declined to yield.
Sn-ne Old" Slorr.
"Wo have hoard those speeches before,"
continued Mr. Watson, addressing himself
to tho other sldo. I'When William McICIn
loy, tho gentlest memory of our day, was
prosldent thejo same epithets were used.
You romember how they hurled their male
dictions at bis head, how the. doleful
prophet from Missouri (Mr. De Armond)
prophesied unuttcrablo woo, unless all
theso things should happen that ho wanted
to happen. Why, the stately and mourn
ful stanzas of Isaiah, the deep and melan
choly reflections ot Jeremiah, tho sharp and
exclamatory maledictions of Malnchl, are
humorous as compared with the woe-laden
and sorrow-burdened prophesies of the gen
tleman from Missouri., (Laughter nnd ap
plause.) 1'roiiliK)- Proves FaUe.
"Behold, thoy did not come to pass.
Thoso clean hands ot (he great statesman
now gono wero charged as being dripping
with, the warm, troslt blood of bis fellow
mon. That heart which we now know to
havo neon pure was charged with being a
nesting place for tyranny, nnd hate. That
breast which we now know Id Its alms em
braced humanity and humanity's causo was
charged with being a spawning place for
oppressions' breed. Tliey did not hesitate
to sny that, that fertllo brain which
throbbed with lovo for nil mankind wns
full ot schemes for land robbing, lust of
empire, for greed of gain.
"Wo know that all theso arrowB were
hurled at his head. These arrows wero
broken at1 his feet and left his name Un
tarnished. Tho powder was all burned and
found no flaw in his armor, no stain upon
his shield, nnd now that the narrow chasm
which separates us from etornlty has been
bridged and his soul has fled through Its
dark and sombre shadows and William Mc
Klnley stands immortal, It does not seem
remarkable to mo that 6ur democratic
friends should loose the tongue of vitupera
tion, ot slander, .of aspersion, ot vilification
In speaking of the republican party arid of
tho "boys" fighting ovor yonder In tho
1'lilllpplncs In the shadow ot tho American
flag." (Applause).
IlepaMloa.na Wlli Handle Caae.
"Mr. Chairman," ho concluded, "tho re
publican' party will handle this question.
If our democratlo friends will como along
and be good we will be gjad to have them
In tho neighborhood,- but It they Intend
to always stand oft and propose nothing
and oppose everything we had. Just as
Her they would not come along, bocaust
wo propose to solve these questions any
how, and do It right, under the fear of
God, who has openod the way for this
groat republic." (Prolonged applause on
the republican side).
The bill was read for amendment under
tbo five minute rule.
Mr. Cochran ot Missouri declared that
the attempts to subjugate tho Filipino
peoplo already had cost the United States
moro than enough to build tho Nicaragua;
canal and to' construct 300 warships to de
fend It, yet tho end was not In sight.
When the appropriation of $500,000 for a
military post at Manila was reached a halt
THE OMAHA DAILY KEfo THURSDAY,
dozen democrats, Including Mr, tllchardfton
of Tonnessee, wero on llielr (col, but the
chair recognized Mr. Hull (republlcnn ot
Iowa), who raised tho point of order that
It wns new legislation.
Hull Out Aiiriiirlntlnti.
Mr. Cannon urged Mr. Hull to let tho
other sldo nmko tho pnlnt of 'order.
"I hope tho gentleman will not lecture
his own sldo of tho house,' observed Mr.
lllchardson. Thereupon Mr. Cannon con
fessed the-polnt of order and the -appropriation
wns ruled out.
In lieu of tho provision Mr. Cannon of
fered tho following amendment!
'Tor the proper shelter ami protection
of o flic era nnd enlisted men of tho United
States army on duty In tbo Philippines, to
bo expended In tho discretion ot tho presi
dent, $560,000."
Mr. lllchardson Immediately raised the
samo point ot order against this, contend
ing that It was In effect Identical with the
provision ruled out and was not a deficiency
appropriation.
Mr. Cannon argued that tho amendment
was In order In that It was necessary to
carry out existing lnws for tho maintenance
ot order In the Philippines.
Itli'liuritxon Force (Ittrftt Ion,
A sharp exchange of words followed be
tween Mr, lllchardson nnd Mr, Cannon, tho
former seeking to force nn ndmlsslon from
tho chairman of tho appropriations commit
tee that tho purpose of tho appropriation
was to build tho nrtny post nt Manila.
"Does tho gentleman know," Interposed
Mr. liny of Virginia, "that tho secretary of
war has submitted to the commlttco on mil
itary nltalrs recommendations for appro
priations amounting to $2,000,000 for army
rosts In the Philippines?"
"That Is for next year," answered Mr.
Cannon.
Several other democrats were drawn Into
tho discussion, Including Mr. Fitzgerald ot
Now York. Such points as tho latter
scored wero applauded on tho democratic
aide. Tho discussion over tho point of or
der was drawn out for over an hour, nt tho
end of which time Mr. Sherman of Now
York, who was In tho chair, overruled It
nnd wns sustained by tho houso 127 to 110.
Mr. Fleming of Georgia voted with tho
republicans to sustain the chnlr.
I'mlKi'tt OfTem A in en ilmo nt.
Mr. Padgett of Tonnessco then offered as
an amendment to tho nmendment tho fol
lowing;
"Tho government of tho United States
hereby declares Its policy and purposo la
to relinquish tho sovereignty of the Philip
pine) Islands acquired under tho treaty of
Paris and to restoro tho sovereignty
thereof to the peoplo of said Islands so soon
as they shall make mnulfcst their fitness
and capacity for BOlf-governmcnt."
"I mnko three points of order against that
amendment," snld .Mr. Cannon. "First, that
It Is not germane; necond, that It changes
existing law; third, that It Is Idiotic (ap
plause and laughter on tho republican
side).
"Tho chair sustains tho first two points
of order," announced tho chair (laughter).
Cumin in un I'pliriililH I'nrt Iniiiin.
Tho voto then recurred upon Mr. Can
non's nmendment. As It was being taken
n dramatic incident occurred. Tho solid
republican sldo aroso In support ot it and
with tho republicans n solitary domocrat,
Mr. Cummlngi) of New York, stood up.
Turning upon his fellow democrats and
shaking his fist In their faces, Mr. Cum
mlngs shouted: "When I refuse to protect
tho llfo ot an American soldier I hopo I
may bo paraiyzod."
A round of republican applause greeted
this statement, whllo several democrats
cried "regular order."
The amendment was adopted 127 to 100.
Without completing the bill, tho house at
C:40 p. ni. adjourned.

Nels6n called up tho bill establishing n de
partment ot commerce.
Mr. Quarles of Wisconsin offered an
amendment providing that tho secretary
of commerce should have completo control
of tho work ot gathering and distributing
statistical Information naturally relating to
tho subjects confided to his department,
and to this end tho secretary of commerce
should have atilhdrlty to call upon all other
departments of the government for statis
tical data (o bo published As ho may deem
wise. ,
Demand (or Xelson'a lllll,
Mr. Galltnger made a vigorous argument
In support of the pending measure. Tho
establishing ot such a department, ho said,
had been demanded by commercial and
Industrial bodies throughout tho country
for rears.
Tho president pro tern, Mr. Fryo. then
laid bofdro tho senato a letter from Samuel
Gompers, president of tho American Fed
eration of tabor, protesting against the
Incorporation ot the department of labor In
the proposed department' of commerce.
Ho said that the department of labor
had been organized at tho earnest (solici
tation ot the organized labor of tho coun
try In tho hopo, ultimately, that It might
become one of the executive departments
of tho government, with n secretary of
labor, who should have a seat In tho presi
dent's cabinet, Mr. Gompers wns of the
opinion that It the department of labor
wns Incorporated In tho department of
commerco It would minimize tho Interests
of labor nnd he protested against nny such
result.
Tariff lllll Cine a Over.
At 2 O'clock the unfinished business
tho Philippine tariff bill wns laid beforo
the senate, but as no senator was pre
pared to proceed with tho debate tho meas
ure, on motion ot Mr. lxdgo ot Massachu
setts In charge of It, wns laid asldo tempo
rarily and the senate continued the discus
sion of the department of commerco bill.
Mr. Allison opposed the nmendment of
fered by Mr. Quarlcs nnd Mr. Spooner sup
ported It.
After a long debate tho bill, with nil
amendments, was ordored printed pending
turther consideration. Mr. Pcttus of Ala
bama offered an amendment providing that
the department of labor should not bo
transferred to tho department of com
merce. Pending action upon tho amendment the
senate at 2:25 p. m on motion of Mr. Cul
lom, went Into oxccutlvo session.
At 4:45 p. m. the senate adjourned.

HKKMN, Jan, 22. During tho debate ou
tho estimates of the chancellor's depart
ment In tho ltolchstng today tho Imperial
chancellor, Count vou llUelow, referred to
tho pleasant relations between Germany
nnd tho United Stales und to the approach
ing visit of l'rlncu Henry of I'russln. The
chancellor found his opportunity lu tho re
marks of Dr. llarth, lender of the frolsslu
nlge party, who, In discussing the budgot,
snld:
1 want (o tduoh on tho political rela
tions between Germany nml tbo riilted

Character. Ono lilndruiico to the promo
tion ot tills friendship IM tbu protectionism
now prevailing-'111 tleimuny. It Is pleasant,
on the other lmnd, to seu that tho pro
jected Visit ot 11 Clorinuti prlncu to the
United States bus disclosed thu existence
of a large fund of goodwill nml cordiality
among tlio American peoplo tor Gurmiiny.

sald:
1 cxprehs my thank' to Dr. llarth for
t lid words and manner In which ho litis
spoken of our relations with thu United
States. 1 still must ask him not to over
estimate tho dllllCUltles from tho way In
which wo formulate our tnrltt policy. tAp
plmiHo on the right.)
1 can only repeat what I said threo years

meet witli the conuurtenco of thu liotitc
namely, th; t yo are lilted with 1111 earnest

fect reciprocity and ntuttiat appreciation,
tho traditional good relations which havo
nlwuys existed between ourselvcH nnd tho

Henry to America Is nn expression of
theso good relations nnd I nm convinced
his reception will bo lu nccord with thu
friendly feellnca tho two great nntlons
havo for 0110 another.
The chancellor's statement wns greoled
with prolonged cheers from all parts of
tho houso.
Adhere to Itcclproelt y.
I)r. Oertel, conservative, said the right
attached as Ljcat Importance to tho main
tenance of good relations with tho United
States ns tho left, but theso relations
would not ho maintained by means of
economic concessions. The closer theso
rclntions tho' .closer attention should bo
paid to tho preservation, of reciprocity.
Chancellor von Iluolow. rlslnc. said ho
wished it to b6 understood that his pro-
vlous referenco to perfect reciprocity nnd
mutual understanding re'ferred not only to
tho United States, bul equally to nil other
countries of Iho worjd.
