He maintained that the United Btates' oc cupancy of the Islands was with due regard to International obligations. Mr. Manory ot Florida spoke particularly In favor of tis amendment to that portion of the bill re lating to the navigation laws and said that it naraaaarr In the. interest of Amer ican shipping. Mr. Money maintained that it was as much a question of what couia oe done with the Filipino aa it wa to legls tata In tha. interests of our own people.

BOUTEll RETLIES IN A HUMOROUS VEIN Trnee th Kentarklaa'a "Tracnlent Sycophancy" t th Honae of Simon Pore Democracy Amid ' Applaase. WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. Agsln todsy the general debate on the Indian appropriation bill wa devoted almost entirely to ex traneous topic. A on yesterday, the Issue rshed by Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky a tew days ago came in for considerable attention nd was the feature of the session. Mr. Bfomwell, an Ohio republican; Mr. Kern, an Illinois democrat, and Mr. Fleming, a Georgia democrat, added their views to the literature ot the subjeot, but It wss Mr. Bout ell, an Illinois republican, who er'r. tatned the house most. He was well fortified with material, and with exceeding good temper and a trenchant display ot wit he traced the history of what . .Mr. Wheeler hsd called "truculent eycophancy," as be said, from the day the first democrat purchased a bogus coat-of-arros from Queen LUloukalanl, by. the last democratlo presi dent. He finally dismissed the whole sub ject by saying it ahould be accepted abroad a on of tha "erratlo and sporadlo phases of Amsrlcan humor." Hamilton n Trasts. Mr. Hamilton, a Michigan republican, en livened the session with an entertaining speech on trusts. The other speakers were Mr. Little ot Arkansas, who discussed con dition In the Indian Territory; Mr. Cor liss of Mississippi, who spoke of the Pa cific cable; Mr. Tlmmlna of Texas, on statehood for Oklahoma; Mr. 8ulzer of New Tork, on Increased pay for letter carriers; Mr. Fitzgerald of New Tork, on the educa tion of the Indians; Mr. Jackson of Kan sas, en the election of senators by the people, and Mr. Newlands of Nevada, on the bill to redeem silver dollar In 'gold. Mr. Corliss of Mlohlgan delivered the second installment of hla speech In favor of the building ot a government cable to the Philippines. He argued against any consideration of the Commercial Cable company' offer to build a cable from Saa Francisco to Manila, denouncing th cor poration as an ally of the Eastern Exten sion Cable company, whoee allied lines, he said, embraced a system which aggregates nearly 70,000 nautical mile ot cable, cov ering the most extensive and powerful cable and telegraph monopoly in the world. Extend Present Monopoly. He said their line reached every con tinent, except North America, and the pur pose of the union with its American ally, the Commercial Pacific Cable company, la to encircle the globe and to extend the In- fluence and advantage ot its present mo nopoly In the Pacific ocean and far east. . "What have you to say to the allegation,1 Interrupted H. C. Smith of Michigan, ".that your bill Is In the interest ot the Western Union Telegraph company?". . Mr. Corliss replied that he was glad the question had been asked, he said: "In the Flttjr-fifth congress the Pacific Cable com pany and the Commercial were aeeklng leg ltlatton for the privilege of constructing a subsidy-fed cable. He had then cou tended, he said, . that . If two great com panlea. .wanted the privilege it should be given to the lowest. and. best bidder, or that a aovernment cahla should bs built. At that) flme, lie said, the Western Union opposed, his Idea and the Postal ' encouraged the Idea of a government cable.' The Postal and the Commercial had formed an alliance With 'the Eastern company and was now opposed to a government cable. The West ern Union and Atlantlo Cable company were now threatened with a monopolistic cable combination. For Popnlar Vote. ' Mr. Jackson of Kansas spoke In favor of agitation against the aenate to compel it to rass the joint resolution for a constitutional amendment for the election of senator by direct popular vote. .Mr. Kern of Illinois, who announcsd that he represented a large German constit uency and was himself a son ot German parents, protested against the attempt to make political capital out of the recent speech ot. Representative Wheeler, which he characterised a an "insignificant incl dent." Mr. Boutell of Illinois congratulated Mr. Kern on hla accession to the band of Amer ican humorist in which Mr. Wheeler ranked so high. Mr. Boutell then pro ceeded with delicate humor, to trace the origin ef what Mr. .Wheeler- had: called 'truculent sycophancy." First, be read a letter written by Thomas Jefferson In 1771, In which he authorised the purchase of a ocat of arms tor him, and from another written four yeara later, in which he eald he would rather be dependant on Great Brit ain than any other country or than none." Down to Martial Van Bnren. Then he passed down to the dsys of Mar tin Van Buren and told ot the visit of his son John to th court of St. James, which earned for him the sobriquet "Prince John," by which he was known afterward. Mr. Boutell said he felt sure that when the daughter of the president returned from the coronation of King Edward abe would not be known as "Princess Alice." Mr. Boutell caused great amusement by reading a published account of the tour of the United States by the . Grand . Duke Alexis In 1871, dwelling upon the details of his visit to Kentucky, where he was re ceived "officially", and with grsst state.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. Secretary Shaw ha received from Elisabeth C. Hobson, secretary of the commute of women who recently made, complaint of the personal baggage Inspection methods at New York and other port la th United State, an answer to bis circular letter to the women making complaint, asking them numerous questions on tbe subject. The answer says the secretary' letter "seems to be quite beside the mark." ' "The real question," say Mrs. Hobson's Istter, "is whether or not you propose to maintain the regulations or alter them? You know that receipted bills are not ao- eeptsd as proof of value. Others of your questions relate to the recollections of traveler aa to what happened oa different voyages during a period of three yeara and their futility suggest that they were pre pared by the aame one of yeur subordinate a drafted the Impossible regulations. It is not for us ta say how you should admin later the lsw, but It seems proper to point out wherein regulations constitute ah offense." REDELL HEARING UNDER WAT (Continued from First Page.) a yell like wild Indians, and up the stairs they rsn to sign It." t'nrsed the Men la llonaea. Firemsn Edward Leeder related another phase of the Redell character. "I've seen blm come Into engine house No. 1 on cold winter days," said hs, "when he would have bis overcost and gloves on, and curse and swear at the men because there was a little Are in the stove. I've known him also to raise Csln because the man who was on the night watch wanted to burn a little gaa to read by. 'I waa at the Mercer Chemical eompany lire, when four firemen were killed. One fireman looked out of the second -story window at hla dead comrades lying below, when Redell bawled at him like a wild bull, 'What are you doing up there?' 'The man said be- was looking at his dead comrades. i " 'Well, ro home! . Go home; - you!' Redell yelled at blm. "At another Are I saw blm knock down an outsider, who waa standing looking on. Tbe crowd took It up and jeered him." . Tamed th Hose on Them. Lieutenant Patrick H. Dempsey toid what happened at the Glencoe mill lire. "Eight of us were trying to life a slxty-two-foot ladder up to a third-story window," aald he, "but there was a telephone wire In the way, which caused some delay. Redell didn't seem to understand the situation, for he flew into a passion, and began cursing us. Suddenly he snatched a hose nozzel away from some firemen who were playing It on the fire and turned it square upon us He was about twenty feet away from us 'You damned blockheads,' he screamed, 'I'll wash you off the face of the earth!' "I jumped behind the ladder, which broke the force of the stream so fsr as I was concerned, but one ef the men was knocked down by it. There waa a pressure of about nln3ty-five pounda to the square Inch. The water came with such force that If it bad truck a man in a vital spot It would have disabled blm for life, or If it had struck him square in tbe face it would have pnt bis eyes out." . "Did the chief pull the stream off th fire In order to turn it on you men?" asked Attorney Connell. "Yes, sir," was the answer. '"Did It have a tendency to stimulate the men to greater effort?" "No, sir; It demoralized us, and made" us so nervous we couldn't do anything. We were doing everything in our power before, but when he turned the water on' us we had to drop the ladder' Effects of Choking a Fireman, At this point Attorney Connell introduced In evidence the petition for personal dam ages filed In the district court by Fireman Jamea Slber against Redell, wherein the former claimed that Redell had choked blm by squeezing his hands over hi throat, in flicting Injuries which were permanent.. Ppltce Officer Rentfrew confined hla testi mony to an account of the Monro fire,, on which occasion. Redell Is alleged.. to have applied an opprobrious epithet., to Mayor Moores.
