HoUS There ass another heavy ran of
hogs here today, which makes the receipts
for the week quite liberal. The market
opened with the best heavyweights sbout
steady and they sold largely from (616 to
( 30. Not very much of anything was done
on the lighter loads at the opening and
bids were generally 8c lower and In some
cases 10c lower than yenterday. As there
were more hogs here today than packers
had to have the close of the market was
slow and weak and the light stuff was
hard to move and could he quoted 6fll0c
lower than vesterday. Medium weights
sold largely from (5.96 to (6.10. while the
light hogs went from (5.90 down. It was
very late before anything like a clearance
was made. Representative sales:

and purpose that meat products are now In

rATTEn-SON WANTS THE mi ADMITTED
Reiterates Charge that Lodge Sought
to Exclude Newspaper Men la .
I'nre of Latter Sen
ator's Dealal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. With the ex
ception of a sharp clash between Mr. Lodge
and Mr. Patterson over the question of ad
mission of representatlvss of the press tc
the Investigation of ths Philippine tsrlfl
bill, ths senats today was quiet. Ths Colo
rado senator desired that all newspapei
men be admitted to the committee hearings,
declaring that as now conducted they wers
of a star chamber character. He said hli
recollection was that Mr. Lodgs had sug
gested that ths hearings bs sntlrsly secret.
This drew tha fire of ths Msssachusetti
senator, who Indignantly denied that h
had suggested snythtng of the kind. He in
sisted that the reports of ths bearings by
the three press associations were accurate
and fair to both sides of the controversy.
A communication from ths secretary of
war transmitting a communication from ths
federal party In the Philippines In support
of American rule In the Islands called from
Mr. Patterson the statement that ths fed
eral party had obtained Its control In the
islands by promising to ths Filipinos that
they would be admitted ultimately to stats
hood. Teller Greatly In Evidence.
Mr. Teller occupied the attention of th
senate during the greater part of today's
session snd has not yet concluded hit
speech.
Mr. Turner of Washington presented
a memorial from the National Antl-'
Trust league enumerating certain trusts '
snd combinations which the memorial
sets forth were operstlng In conflict
with the Sherman anti-trust law. Hs
said the petition stated that the existence
of these So-called trusts had been called to
the attention of the attorney general of the
United States with a request tbst ths ma-,
chlnery of the government be set in motion
with ths view of the destruction of ths
trusts, but thus fsr nothing had been done.
Th petition prayed that congress take
actios in vindication of Its law. Mr. Turner
said the memorial contained also soms alle
gations against ths present attorney gen
eral and his Immediate predecessor, but ha
did not wish to be understood ss fathsrlng
the charges. He asksd that (hs memorial
be printed In ths Congrsssional Record, but
Mr. Oalllnger of New Hampshire objected
snd Its printing was not ordered:
In presenting a petition tor congressional
relief of cotton growers from the cotton
weavll, Mr. Culbertson of Texss ssld that
ths boll wesvil hsd destroyed 800,000 bales
of cotton in Texas alone during the last
year and on account of the ravages of ths
pest grsve apprehension Is felt for ths cul
tivation of cotyton In central and southeast
ern Texas.
Philippine Fight Again On.
Mr. Teller resumed his speech on ths
Philippines.
Mr. Tillman interrupted Mr. Teller to
inquire of Mr. Lodge, chairman of the com
mittee on Philippines, whether it wss true,
as charged in soms newspapers, that that
committee was conducting Us investigation
of ths Philippine question In a sort of star-
chamber manner, special representatives of
the press being excluded.
Mr. Lodgs replied that that wss sn Idls
story, that representatives Of the ' three
press associations wers admitted to the
hearings and that fair reports were being
sent out. It had been decided by ths com
mittee not to admit all newspaper men,
because ths committee room wss totally
inadequate for the accommodation of tha
public
Mr. Patterson said that when the Phil-
Ippins committee bad the matter of the
hearings under consideration It wss his
recollection that the chairman (Mr. Lodge)
had auggested that no members of ths press
be admitted.
"I never made such a suggestion never,"
interjected Mr. Lodge warmly, "and I ob
ject to such ststements ss that made bf ths
senator."
Patterson Repeats the Charge.
"Notwithstanding," continued Mr. Pat
terson, "I reiterate my statement." .
"I ask ths senator," interrupted Mr.
Lodge, "if he relterstes ths statement that
I suggested that. the press bs excluded?"
"That is my recollection," replied Mr.
Pstterson.
'Well." protested Mr. Lodge, "I have de
nied that statement most emphatically." '
A communication was rscelved from ths
secretary of war transmitting to ths senate
a memorial from ths lesdsrs of ths federsl
party in ths Philippines in support of
American rule in ths Islands. Mr. Hoar,
disclaiming any desire to precipitate a de
bate at this tims, remarked sarcastically
that ths memorial was "a pretty good com
mentary" on ths stats of ths Philippine '
commission, which prohibited ths promulga
tion by any society of sny political pinion
or policy. Hs said It appeared lawful under
ths acts of the commission to publish opin
ions when three members of ths Philippine
commission wsrs members of ths society,
provided that the publication bs accompa
nied by an expression of "marvellous sd
miration" for the commission itself.
Mr. Patterson thought the senate ought
to understand ths speclsl significance of ths
document presented by the federsl psrty.
Hs sppealed that the majority bs per
fectly frank with ths Filipinos, tbst courss
being, in his Judgment, the best to pursue.
Tho senate then, at 6 o'clock, went Into
executive session and five minutes later ad
journed. Postal Service to tho Soadaa.
