January 11.—A spirited and it times -•■nsattonal debate was precipi tated in the senate today on the I’hilip l"in>* question over the resolutions of in quiry. Mr. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, attacked the administration’s policy in the Philippines and also mid.- some start ling charges against those who were euu, porting the administration. Mr. Pettigrew declared that a sys tematic effort was being made to prevent accurate information from reaching the people of the United States and that it was a political scheme to further the candidacy of Mr. McKinley for renomination and re-election.

Pierce, t—<- - patch containing information which he thought was proper to send to the United States he had been informed by the censor that he had been in structed to cut out anything that might hurt the administration. Subsequently when he had desired to send a story relating to the use of silver in the Philippines, the cen sor had told him that his instruc tions were to allow nothing to pass him which would be helpful to Wil liam Jennings Bryan in the United States. Upon this point Mr. Fettlgrew became particularly sarcastic and again adverted to wnat he termed the president s desire to succeed himself as president, even th .ugh essential information had to be suppressed to accomplish that end. Mr. Pettigrew declared that the president himself really began the war and was responsible for it. • ••If,” said he, “the administration had had a spark of honor in dealing with the Filipinos, it would have told General Merritt to lay the whole truth of the intentions of the gov ernment before Aguinaldo and his associates.” Ho believed this would have averted half the trouble. “The shooting by I’nited Stales sen tries of the Filipinos that night of Feb ruary 4th. the opening of hostilities, was. he said, "a foul blow and we were gulltv of duplicity and treachery in killing those men. That we had tired the first Shot whit II had precipitated hostilities, n .body denied.” Kven after the i;gh;ing had begun, he ’said, an effort was made by Aguinaldo to secure a susjH-ttsion of hostilea-s, but he had I-eii told by General Otis that now the lighting had begun it must con tinue to the grim end. Turning Point Reached. "If.” said Mr. Pottign w, "1 were a Fili pino I would tight until 1 was gray against the unholy aggression of tin United States, if this country is wrong, this country could take no grander posi tion before tho nations of th., world than to admit that it is wrong. We h ive reach ed the turning point. We must decide whether we are to pursue a course of ra pacity and aggressit n <>n the Bri.ish prin ciple or to pursue a course of justice and right. No nation long can pursue such a course as the imperialists have marked out for us—a course of wrong and treach ery to friends—and hope to stand we.l before the nations of the world." Mr. Pettigrew was cut off by the expi ration of the morning hour.

Taylor’s Friends Declare He Shall Not Be Removed from Governor ship of Kentucky. Frankfort. Ky., January 11.—The re publican leaders, while not abandoning the fight against Goebel in the legislature, are eagerly awaiting news from Washing ton as to what federal government would give the Taylor administration in the event Goebel is seated by the legisla ture. That the republican leaders are advising Governor Taylor to resist in case the legislature decides in favor of Goebel und are promising support to him 1, gen erally udmitt* <l. Major A. T. Wood.who Governor Bradh v appointed United States senator in JMHi. but who failed to be seated, said tonight: •'Taylor has been elected and if he is turned out by an arbitrary board we should not countenance its action, we should tight if it be necessary. There was a conference tonight of re publican leaders from all over the state, ’among whom there were several promi nent federal office holders, and it is said stronger pressure is to be brought to bear at Washington tn favor of Taylor than ins been heretofore. The sentiment of nil of those attending the conference was decidedly bellicose, and the feeling Is somewhat h< ightened by the fact that Mt least three of the legislative contests an* so near completion tonight as to as sure a vote on them next week and that a m Ijoritr of them are m arly certain to be d Sposed >f before the contests for governor and lieutenant governor are voted upon. Governor Taylor today filed with the election contest committee a motion to require the democratic members now* serving on the committee to vacate. Tin* motion was in the naturu of a formal protest. It Is supported by :m affidavit charging that tin* names were fraudu lently drawn by the e’.«rk, and the dem ocratic memliers now serving are all dis qualified by reason of partiality for the contestant, alleged evidence of which is mentioned spe<*ili*.*al>y as to each. It re fers to the rules of the committee, which he says were so framed as to exclude the gre.itj part of his testimony, and charges in g. neral t< rms that the trial of tiie eon t. -t is about to lie made throughout on parti- in lines and without regard to the merits of the case.

Ex-Governor of Massachusetts De clares That McKinley Has Wrong Views. Washington, January 11. —About 500 per sons attended an anti-imperialist meeting, held in Masonic hall, here tonight. The weather was wet and The speakers were ex-Senator J. B. Hender son. of Missouri; ex-Governor Boutwell, of Massachusetts, and Representative Jx*ntz, of Ohio. Mr. Henderson asserted that the Filipinos are proved by the tes timony of Admiral Dewey and others to be capable of self-government and that our whole history was antagonistic to subjugation of liberties of a people. He appeahd to American manhood to ac knowledge our error and right the wrong done the Filipinos. Ex-Governor Boutwell, of Massachu setts, passed by the moral consideration incident to any comprehensive treatment of tin* Philippine war, and addressed him self to th.< questions of business and la bor in which this country, he said, was much concerned. The speech was a se vere arraignment of the administration with respect to its new colonial dependen cies and made an appeal that they be per mitted to set up link pendent governments from any dictation by tile United States. Shall lite laboring and producing classes of Ann rica, lie asked, lie subjected to a direct and never-ending competition with tho under-paid and lialf-clad laborers of Asia, or shall tile republic of America be transformed into a colonial empire, with like i onsequences to tin* laboring classes?

In November, J!MM), he conti.i* tied, the future of the nation will tie de cided. when the laborers will have an op portunity to put an end to the scheme id* establishing a colonial empire to be followed by the degradation of the labor ing population through competition with the laborers of th.' east and the products of tile ciieap lar.or of the east. Tile ex governor concluded as follows: “Our conclusion from whatever quar ter w<* approach th.- subject must always be the same. This is our demand: Allow Cuba, allow Porto Rico, allow tin* Phil ippine islands to s<*t up governments for themselvi s. fro.- from any dictation by us. "I’h.i.-* is a policy ot* justice, a policy of p. ic<*.

Washington, January !•.—A record and brief have been received by the clerk of the supreme court of the United States fi a ease from tho supremo court of Michigan that may have a bearing on .the financial question, it is the case of Baker vs. Baldwin, in which F. A. Baker, a Michigan lawyer, seeks to test the < onstitutionality of the provision of the Bland-Allismi act making the silver dol lar of .171.25 grains of pure silver a full and unlimited legal tender in tin* payment ot* all ilelits, pulllie and private. Mr. Baker claims that the act of 1573 establishing tho gold .1 dial* of 2X22 grains of pure gold as the standard of value is tin* only valid act in existence making < oined money a Dill legal tender, and that all cviitraots since entered into payable in money without stipulation as to the kind of money can lie settled only in gold dollars or in United states notes 1 i dei inalde in gold. Ho contends that 'the Bland-Allison act is uncoils ilutional because tile bullion value oi Hi.- silver dollar at tta date <•l* tin* passage of that act and ever since >then has iieen less than tiie value of tho gold dollar and tiiat congress has “no right under tho power to issue a <l. based coin and to make an unlimited 'tender where no provision is made far its redemption in coin ot* lull value.” Mr. Baker is an advocate of silver and in I'**..; was chairman ot* the democratic srnt,. central committee of Michigan, but i 1( . believes tiiat tile new standard of value Which would result from tiie resto ration of bimetallism should be adopted for future contracts only ami that all existing public and private debts con tract, d's neo 1'73 should be paid in gold, unle-s the contract speeilically provides for tiie payment of some other kind of money.

TEXAS CROP IS OVER MILLION BALES SHORT Houston. Tex., January 11.—(Special.)— The Houston Post has just completed a canvass of the cotton counties of Texas, which was made in order to determine tiie amount of cotton now held in the state, the amount expected for the re mainder of the season and the percentage of the crop marketed from September 1. 1599. to January 1. TJfiO. The correspond ents were directed to secure accurate statistics in everv instance and warned to be very careful in m iking their esti mates of the amount to be marketed. ■Replies were received from 211 towns, representing I<*> counties. They show an unusually small amount of cottoni at country stations, and <,e,non^[ a f l’ f h J that as far as Texas is concerned, tho bulk of the cotton had been brought out of sight, ami counted in the statistics given to The New* York World bv Secretary Hes ter. of the New Orleans catton exchange. The statistics secured bv The Post do not include the five large counted towns in Texas which on January to the commercial reporters, held • bales of cotton against ISfi.'Oo on that date last year. These towns are Gai'-es t< n. Houston. Paris. Brenham and Dallas and of the amount !M.<™ bales are at Houston and Galveston, being pta< . i all sold and ready* for shipment. The 211 towns which slmw the uncount ed stocks as yet to lie brought into sight had just 125.0C4 bales on hand tho Ist of January. The tabulated state ment for all these towns, as prepared bv Tho Post for publication tomorrow morning, shows the following Receipts to January 1. li*M>. 1.126.294 b iles, so same date last year. i. HL****'*- R.-eoipts for the entire season last year 1,700.141. Amount on hand January Ist this year. 128.064; on hind same date last year, 144.»>1. Estimated receipts for remainder this season 98,247; receiV 1 d after January Ist last v»*ar 254.411. Including the stock on hand and the amount expected to come forward from farmers, these towns will have a total of 226.321 bales for tho r'mainder of the season, against 398.612 for tiie same pe riod last year. Getting these statistics from these towns they present only two- H irds of tho uncounted cotton lb Texas and allowing 50.<M10 bales to be brought forward from tho Indian Territory, the total Texas movement for the remainder of the year will be a little less than 400,- <KiO bales as eompttred with 850,000 bales brought into sight before January Ist last year. According to the figures recently* given out bv Si'cretarv Hester, of the Neyv Orleans cotton exchange, the amount of cotton brought, into sight by Texas, in cluding Indian Territory, to January Ist, was 1. 866.000. Adding to this 4*)0.0W bales for tiie remainder of the season would give a total cion of 2,266.000 bales against 3,55iJ)00 last season.
