Philippine railroad bond clause sparks Senate clash
Senators Foraker Carmack and allies argued over amendments to the Philippine administration bill as Taft watched from the Capitol. The measure, drawn by Rawlins, would raise funds for public works with bonds at four per cent. Amendments to protect municipalities and limit railroad bonds were debated, with several Republicans voting with Democrats on key changes. The Chinese exclusion and taxation provisions faced votes, and the debate touched on imperial policy and presidential implications.
