A plea In abatement was read by Colonel pf Mr- Sullivan on yesterday, in which

the defendants from custody.
Mr. l-jwln expressed a desire to file nn
answer to the plea later, suggesting that
the vase might proceed In the meantime,
The court tentatively look the same view.
Cnuusef for the defense objeeied, however,
claiming that the question of the plea was
one of vast Importance and that It shotild
he determined forthwith.
The Indictment, said Colonel Meldrlm, was
ound upon a charge of eonsplrary. The
KrltlHh privy council has found that con
spiracy la not an extraditable offense he
ween the I'nlted States and the Dominion
t ' Canada, hence as the defendants were
xtrudlted thev cannot be tried upon an
Indictment alleging conspiracy. This, ac
cording lo the defense, should quash the
two old Indictments.
Mr. Erwin replied that he would reaulre
lime In which lo formulate Ms answer to
the plea. He stated that pleas In abate
ment had also been filed to the two Indict
ments found last November, which were
not based upon the charge of consplrarv,
but upon chgrges of embexslement and re
ceiving money of the I'nlted States that
the defendants knew to have been embex

hours in which lo prepare his answers.

were allowed to go In general without an
swer. IlsTesslon In the form of tariff re
vision discussion was made In a
brief '
speech by Mr. Olllett of Massachusetts,!
who favored Canadian reciprocity. Mr.
Bonyngn of Colorado discussed the bill
from the standpoint of the beet sugar In
dustry. Mr. Burgess of Texas opposed It j
on constitutional grounds and had a lively ;
colloquy with the minority leader, Mr. Wil
liams, on this point. .He charged that dem
ocrats to be consistent should oppose any-
thing but .free trade with the Philippines
on the ground that It was nn American
possession, Mr Williams defended the
minority position by', stating that he was
supporting the Mil because it was as near
approach. to free trade as it was possible
to obtain front, the majority. The Issue
was drawn sharp between the two mem
bers of the minority and furnished the In
teresting situation of the day. Mr. Cassel
of Pennsylvania spoke In opposition. In
behalf of the tobacco raisers of his district.
Mr. Henry of Connecticut took the same
position for his constituents. Mr. Ooulden 1
of New York closed .the debate for the I
day with a brief reference to the need of
taking the protection of the Dlngley rates
from the "giant trusts" of the country,
The bouse at 5 o'clock adjourned until to-
morrow, when the discussion will be re- I
sumed. j
Bon) use Opens Debate.
There was no delay In' beginning the de
bate on the Philippine tariff debate In the
house today. No business whatever pre
ceded the discussion; which was opened by
Sir. Bonynge of Colorado, who opposed the
bill In the Interest of the beet sugar In
dustry. Mr. Bonyngn received many con
gratulations when' ho concluded.
Mr. Burgess (Texas) followed. "I want to
see the Philippines treated as foreign ter
ritory." he declared. "I wunt to see the
time approach rapidly when we can cut
Ioosp from that pestiferous gang over
there."
Mr. Williams, the minority leader, Inter
jected. "I take It. the gentleman w ill ag-ren
with me that whatever the Philippines
ought to be, they are at the present timo
colonies of the Vnited States."
"I did not create existing conditions, and
I'll not recognise them," replied Mr. Bur
gess. A colloquy ensued between the minority
leader and Mr. Burgess In which Mr. Wil
liams was put on the defense of his posi
tion on the bill.
Mr. Burgess wajited to know if Mr. Wil
liams believed the constitution extended to
the Philippines.
Question of Consistency.
Mr. Williams recognized that the supreme
court had extended it there.
"Then how roufd Mr. Williams vote for
this bill, which levied duties against a part
of the Vnited States?" Inquired Mr. Bur
gess. ; -
Mr. Williams explained that the minority
substitute .toy bill provided free trade.
Knowing .that it was Impossible to get that
he should vote for 'the republican reduction,
Mr.' Burgess' regarded any tariff between
the Cnlted 8tates and the Philippines as
unconstitutional, and said he should vote
against the bill He suggested that If the
democrats would Join forces with the re
publican opponents to the bill It would be
defeated.
This was preferring grand larceny to petit
larceny, according to Mr. Williams, because
to defeat the bill would be to leave the
present higher schedules in force.
Mr. Burgess retorted that the whole
thing was a mess of pottage, "'live us a
quure deal," he demanded. "Quit cutting
down the schedules on agricultural
products and turn your attention to Iron
and steel."
At this point Mr. Clark (Mo.) nppealed
to the republican recalcitrants to Join the
democrats and pass a measure "to turn
these Islands loose cut loose forever from
them."
Resolution for Independence.
Mr. Burgess had read a resolution for
the establishment of a free government
m tne '"'PPlne" which he udvoeated.
Turning his attention to the "expansion
of the office of the executive," Mr. Iirgcss
said the constitution made no mention of
cabinet officers; they were mere tl rks to
tnp president, hence an "administration"

coupled with the solid democratic vote, win
force a consideration of nniendiiienis lo
the Hamilton bill. Two or three republi
cans are reported to have been Won over
to Hdmlnlstratton measure through
SP"ker Cannon, but the weakening In the
opposition is so slight that until further
conditions are brought about the Hamilton
bill will not be taken before tho house.
All sorts of compromises have been sug
gested by the Insurgents, tint have met with
no favor at the hands of the suporters of
Joint statehood. The last compromise of
fered by the insurgents was the insertion
of the single word "each" where It would
provide that the people of New Mexico und
Arixona should decide by popular vote
whether they would accept Joint state
hood. Republican insurgents held a statehood
caucus today, which was attended by about
twenty-five representatives. A poll of tho
house on tho Joint statehood proposition
by the insurgents wus represented at tho
caucus today to have shown slightly less
than set rnty-flve representatives who will
vote against a proposed rule preventing the
amendment of tho Hamilton Joint stale-
hood bill. The Insurgents nre confident
they will retain enough of these votes to
make It possible for them with the demo
crats lo defeat the proposed rule.
The caucus was held in the committee
room of Representative Babcock of Wiscon

west were well represented in the caucus.

When The Hue mud the original an

some weeks ago it also made the announce
ment that in all probability John N. Bald

Would become Mr. Kelly's successor,
Mr. Huldwln left for New York last
night and there is no doubt here but he
will accept the place, In fact the tender

congratulations fnnn friends In the legal
fraternity and other spheres yesterday
evening after the publication of The Pee s
