part of the Virginians is regarded in certain political circles as an endorsement of the major's policy in the Samar campaign. It has

created considérable discussion.

The Philippines Bill.

Under a special order, the House has begun the final debate on the Philippines Bill with a view to the vote promised for the 26 h., As in the past, the discussion has taken a wide latitude and has been conducted strictly on party ground. The Democrats have instituted a grand review of all the questionable acts of | the army in the Philippines including the atrocities in Suñar and elsewhere and General Smill's famous "Kill and burn", order. The civil government has also been made the target of Democratic artillery. The Republicans have been kept busy refuting the various charges brought against both branches of the government.
