Political Debate Rolls On as Senate and House Clash
The Senate plans adjournment with most appropriation bills passed while conferees settle differences on the general deficiency bill. The House debated the Philippine bill with Cooper delivering an eloquent opening, Democrats reiterating familiar arguments, and Spooner’s substitute opposed. The session faces a partisan divide and uncertain timing. Coronation week in London brings grief as King Edward VII’s health worsens after an intestinal abscess operation. The Isthmian Canal question advances with a Senate vote favoring the Panama route and provisions for bonds and the Spooner amendment outlining presidential powers to acquire canal assets and secure title, pending treaty ratification and Colombian concessions. State teachers’ certificate examinations are set for Friday, August 2, with circulars available from the Augusta education department.
