DEBATE ON THE MEASUEE bOMi: OF ITS FEATURES CRITICISED 11 V SENATOR DAM I FL. '-2 Pettlscrctr In the Hole of Fillhuster Uill Pned for Hellet of Marion Tru.ot Company, of Indianapolis. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senators Proctor fer.J Burrows, of the Senate military com ir.it tt t, had a long conference with Secre tary Koot at the War Department to-day la regard to the military situation in the Philippines, with special application to the Lill providing for an Increase of the regular i.r:ny now under consideration in the Sen ate. Just before the conference the secre tary talked with a number of newspaper intn. In the course of the conversation he taid there was no foundation for the state- uunt published n some newspapers that he had predicted the troubles in the Phil Ipplnes would end with the re-election of President McKinley. He explained that he had always avoided the making of pre dictions in any matter, and he . certainly had never made the prediction in question ubcut the speedy termination of the Philip pine troubles. The nearest he had ever cume to doing so was In his last annual re port to the President, when he summed up the military requirements in the Philip pines as demanding sixty thousand men for the Immediate future, though this num ber might be progressively decreased by the restoration of order, the creation of x native police and the use of native troops in place of Americans. We should require permanently an army of about 60,000 Amer ican troops, he said, and during present conditions in Cuba and the Philippines titout the present number, 100,000, would be required. In answer to a direct question Secretary Jtoot said the final arrangements for the return of the volunteers from the Philip pines would not be made until Congress had Indicated its Intention with regard to their leplacement by fresh troops. One thing settled, however, was, he said, that the volunteers brought back to the United States would be mustered out at points as r.ear their places of enlistment as possible. and not at ban Francisco, as was origin ully intended. In explanation of this plan of action ho said it was based on the ex perience gained in the muster-out of the volunteers at the close of the Spanish war. when it was found the volunteers brought home from the Philippines spent all their money In "places of amusement" in San Francisco and were financially unable to continue the journey to their homes. If the secretary stands by this announced programme.it is said that it will completely upset the tentative arrangements already made by the adjutant general's and the quartermasters departments, which con template the muster-out of all the volun teers at San Francisco and their trans portation to their homc3 as individuals at reduced railroad rates. The plans reached n, point wherethe transportation companies had prepared a schedule of rates between San Francisco and all points in the United State. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Committee Amendments to the Army Dill Agreed To Speech by Daniel. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. While the Sen ate was in session for mow than three hours to-day little in the way of impor tant legislation was accomplished. The committee amendments to the army reor ganization bill to which no objection had been raised, were agreed to, but none of the contested amendments was considered. Dilatory tactics were employed by Mr. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, to prevent consideration of matters that would ad vance the business of the Senate. A few unobjected measures were taken from the calendar and passed. When the Senate convened two resolu tions, offered yesterday by Mr. Pettigrew, were continued until Monday. A bill extending the mining laws to saline lands, was passed. It declares all unoccu pied public lands containing salt springs or ...r-its to 1 subject to location and pnrch.e under the mining laws. Th- Senate then proceeded to considera tion of the army reorganization bill. Mr. 1 roctnr. f Vermont, for the military com mittee, offrred as an amendment to Section 12. the provision introduced by himself yes terday, concerning vacancies in the posi tion of chief of staff. The amendment was adopted. When the section of th- bill was reached providing for the appointment of volun teer officers to bo officers in tho regular army, an extended discussion ensued. Mr. Money declared that there were many of ficers in the volunteer army, who were as clearly entitled, as gentlemen and officers, to commission In the regular army as the cadets, who, by hazing and by their testi mony by investigating committees "are to ri iv disgracing the whole country at West Point." The committee amendment providing that volunteer officers might be appointed to frocond lieutenancies was disagreed to. thus r storing the House provision that volun teer officers might be appointed to the Krade of first lieutenant. Commenting upon this part of the I'iil Mr. Daniel declared that h wholly disagreed with the commit tee which had drawn the bill. As to the proposition for the appointment of volun teer officers to the regular army, Mr. Daniel s.-.Ul: "It looks like a skillful piece of en gineering by a regular army officer to keeo out of the army many of the brightest and Vest military spirits of the country. This is the most rroseriptive bill against the vol unteers of this country that has ever been pres-tnted." Mr. Daniel declared sarcastically that the hill constituted a beautiful welcome to th" volunteers returning from the Philippines, providing as it did that no volunteer officer could look forward to any better grade than thit of lirit lieutenant In the regular army. "This is an exclusive bill," he de clared, 'Trovidtd for the purpose of being exclusive. I am not in favor of turning over the military affairs of this country to the regular army." Mr. Hawley offered from the committee on military affairs an amendment provid 1 u511 th0 Prident Pf the United States shall have authority to fix the component parts of the army ration. It was adopted. This completed the bill, so . far as the committee amendments were concerned, all other committee amendments, except thos to which objection had been offered, having been agreed to. Mr. Spooner, at 1:13 p. m., moved that the senate proved to consideration of execu tive business. The motion prevailed After a few minutes spent in executive session business was resumed in open ses sion. Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, asked for unanimous consent to proceed to the con sideration of a bill to ratify and confirm an agreement with the Muscogee or Creek tribe of Indians. Mr. .Pettigrew objected but laier with drew hU objection and consideration of the bill was begun. The bill, after being amended in some minor particulars, was passed. Consideration was then begun of a similar measure to ratify an agreement with thz Cherokee Indians. As amended by the committee the bill was passed A bill for the relief of the Marion Trmst Company, of Indianapolis, administrator of xne estate or samuH ÄiiiiiKen, the claim In volving pay for the carrying of mail in 1U1. was passed. Mr. Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations, tried to obtain consid eration for the executive, judicial and leg islative appropriation mil, but Mr. Petti grew objected. Pili were then called ud from the calendar and among those passed were the following: For the relief .of occupants of lands Included In the Allgedoneg rrant in Arizona; Senate bill extending for three years the time for constructing a branch railroad by the Omaha Northern Railroad Company; Senate bill extending four years the time for ronstrnrtlnf thn t'ictem Nebraska ti Gulf Railway through the In- utaa reservations in Nebraska; permitting the' building of a dam across the Osage river at Warsaw, Mo.; providing a means vi acquiring uue 10 iwo groves of Sequoia Glgantea in California with a view to mak ing national parka thereof. The Senate then, at 3:25 p. m., adjourned. Amendment to the Dill. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. The ' following proposed amendments to the army bill were Introduced to-day in the senate: By Mr. Spooner, making eligible to ap pointment as paymaster any volunteer officer who was appointed an additional paymaster under the existing law and is now In the service. By Mr. Warren, making volunteer offi cers under thirty years, who served in the war with Spain and who are now serving in the regular army, eligible to appointment In the signal corps. By Mr. Elklr.s. increasing the number of officers in the pay department. ) By Mr. Mallory, striking out Section 20, concerning staff promotions. By Mr. Morgan, declaring it unlawful to use any part of the army as a posse comitatus, except in compliance with na tional law and the federation. BISHOP POTTER AGAIN THIS TI3IE HE 3IORALIZKS 0 THE EVILS OF CHEAT CITIES. Snya Croker Sent Him. an Emissary, Asking Him His Price for Stop ping the Anti-Vice Crusude. NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Bishop Potter spoke on "The Causes of Our Present Municipal Degeneration" at a meeting of the City Club last night. The bishop be gan hl3 address by making a plea for tolerance. He said that conditions as they existed were largely the result of the com plexities of human nature. He was not prepared to maintain, he said, that the police as a body were corrupt, and said he believed there were among them as many men who had aspirations toward good, and aims that were commendable, as among any other body of men of the same size. "But they are the creatures of a system," said the bishop. T did not come here to say pleasant things, and the system exists largely because of your indifference and mine. The solution of the problem lies In Individual activity and viligance. I am sorry for one thing, my friends, and that is that, In spite of the approval with which my remarks made in St. Paul Chapel seemed to have met with at the time, they really fell absolutely dead. What have any "of you done along the line of personal vigilance in spite of your evident desire to bring about changed conditions? You will never get results un til you get up the proper spirit of per sonal sacrifice and vigilance. "Nothing better was ever done by Mr. Roosevelt when he was police commis sioner than the nightly tours he made through the city watching the police and seeing that they performed their duty. It brought the men to a sense of feeling that they were being watched. Every man charged with official duties ought to have the same feeling. Now I would like to ask you men here how far any one of you has troubled himself to observe the discharge of duty by the members of the police force. A well-known judge said to me several days ago that the men of th police force are bound together by a kind of loyalty that makes it incumbent on each one to see that his brother gets out of trouble, no matter of what kind. It Is the duty, it seems, of every man of the 'brass buttons to 'help a pal.' Do you recognize what a system like that in volves? It means that you must bring wrong ooing home to the culprit in such a way that !t will be impossible for this Und of loyalty to be of avail, and It Is impossible to accomplish this without per sonal vigilance and constant watchfulness. "I tell you, my brothers, that it does not make a copper's difference whom you put in or whom you put out. No one man can create a force loyal to duty unless behind that man or that commissioner there is the pressing force of public opinion which makes him feel that his position would be Intolerable unless he 4id what was right. Organization, co-operation of forces these ore the things that are most needed, and it is along these lines that the victory must lie. The element of Indifference, however, is not the only one against which we have to contend. There is also that of cupidity, that greed and passion to get out of every office every possible emolument, and a powerful organization at the top that al lows this to go on. "I suppose that it will be no surprise to you to learn that before the letter in re gard to Herllhy and Cross, which I wrote, was sent to the mayor, I was approached by a great many persons, emissaries rep tesentlng all sorts of Interests, to know what sacrifice it would be necessary for them to make to satiate my desire for re venge. I desire to disclaim here any feel ing of that kind, or, In fact, any feeling arising out of the personal discourtesy shown to one of my clergymen. That was ir. itself a small matter. The point lay in the spectacle of a person going to the men tor protection who were supposed to be conservers of the laws and the peace of the community, and being deliberately insulted It was the spectacle of the police ranging themselves on the side of crime and deg radation against the decent element of the community that was intolerable. Among those who came to me was a man who said that he represented Mr. Croker. He asked me if I would be satisfied to drop the mat ter if Captain Herlihy and Inspector Cross weve beheaded. I told him that this was not a question of men. These men did but the bidding of those above them, and those above them In thrir turn were the creature3 of those still higher. I told him that it was a system we were opposing, not a man or men, for he knew as well as you and I that the policeman does not hold his place through devotion or honesty, but wholly and solely by the favor of those above him, who are responsible for the system. "Some time ago I stated, and there wero many criticisms on my statement, that money was the root of all the evils. A con dition "of society where gain excuses all doimrs must naturally affect the mechanism which runs such a city ns this. There must be some higher aim. There must be some loftier motives. We must recognize in all who are worthy a striving for the right. The feeling must be fostered and nurtured. There must be personal sacrifice and vigi lance, and when you can achieve that there comes the awakening of a great enthusi asm. Tho rest will be an easy matter.' NELLIE MORRIS MAY LIVE. Her Annnllnnt, Walter Wlnestock, 11ns No Excuse to Offer for His Crime. MARIETTA, O., Jan. 5. Nellie Morris, who was almost cut to pieces last night by Walter Wlnestock, at Hackney, Morgan county, is still living, with chances in favor of her recovery. Ex citement In the vicinity of Hack ney runs high, and but for the girl's request that Wlnestock should not be lynched while she lives, summary justice would have been meted out to him.' The constable who took Wlnestock to the jail at McConnellsvlIle. drove fifty miles round bout to avoid lynching parties that had been organized. Wlnestock made a written confession to dav In which he said: 'J don't know why I Hid lt. I wanted to kill her. I have no excuses to offer for the crime, and if they want to kill me thev can." Rumors of impending trouble at McCon nellsvlIle have been In circulation to-nisht, but they appear to be without foundation. Fonr Legnl Execution In the South. ST. JOSEPH. La., Jan. 5.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ALEXANDRIA, Ind., Jan. 5. The south bound passenger train on the Big Four, due here -at 12:43, was wrecked just north of tho city at Kelly's switch, and the en gineer, John Critz, of Anderson, was killed, and Fireman Oliver Bates, of Fairmont, was fatally, Injured. None of the pas sengers was hurt, but they were much frightened and badly shaken up. Tke train ran into an open switch at the Kelly ax factory, and the curve was so sharp that the engine left the rails and jumped into the ditch and plowed into the adjoining field, followed by the baggage car and the passenger coaches. After traveling a short distance in way the engine veered off to the right r.nd broke loose, from the baggage car. The coaches did not turn over and were not badly damaged. The train ran Into the field about a hundred feet or more, and the engine, by breaking loose, gave the cars a clear way and saved them from breaking up. The engine is a complete w reck The engineer was picked up some dis tance from where tho engine went to pitces. He was lying across his cushion and was dead. The fireman is badly hurt. And was removed at once to the City Hos pital, and. it is reported there is a chance that he may recover. How tho switch happened to be open Is not known. It is said by some that the chain with which it Is locked was a llttl-s too long and gave the lever sufficient play to allow it to be partially open even when looked, and in this way permitted the train to leave the main track. A wrecking crew is at work clearing up and the main line ia now unobstructed. Tvto Men Instantly Killed. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind., Jan. 5.

The state has examined seventy nine witnesses and has established what is claimed to be a perfect chain of circum stantial evidence against the defendant. Several good pieces "of testimony for the state were given to-day. An aunt of the defendant testified to a conversation with him at the Evansville jail. She asked him why he was there, lie said: "Nora broke my peace at home, my money .was getting away from me and something had to be done." Joe Duffy testified that Keith said, to him: "If Nora talks about Evansville peo ple like she did-'here'she will be killed and thrown Into the river, with a stone tied to her neck." As the body did have a stone tied to the neck, this statement created a sensation In the courtroom. This was the -only refer ence to the stone made by Keith which has developed during the case. An Evans ville chemist testified to analyzing pieces of the rug found in Keith's buggy. He found the suspicious stains to contain red blood corpuscles. He found the same kind of corpuscles on the rail about the old well. The written statement which Keith made and signed in the Evansville jail was in troduced and read to the jury. In it Keith confessed that he hired a peddler to take Nora away and that he had paid him $50 for it. Then he had written the letter from Evansville to the Kifers, in order to set at rest their suspicions, which were being noised about the neghborhood. Surgeons testified to holding' an autopsy and that the body appeared to have been dead six to eight weeks. A portion of the forenoon was taken in hearing expert testimony. The defendant's attorneys have not inti mated their line of defense, but some sen sational developments are looked for before the case goes to the jury. It waa learned here to-night that the sheriff has received three letters this week from the. Elberfield region, warning him that a certain' element in that community is planning to lynch Joseph Keith, defend ant in the Keith-Kifer trial, if it is seen that the verdict will be acquittal or one calling for a prison sentence. The letters purport to come from law-abiding citizens, who would deplore such an occurrence. Two hundred people from the Elberfield region are here attending the trial, and the letters warn the officer to be on the lookout. The receiving of tho letters has been kept secret, ,-but came out through an official source to-night. The sheriff is taking every precaution within his power to defeat such an attempt here. Lyda-Cox Case Goes to Jury. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. - MONTICELLO, Ind., Jan. 5. The Lyda murder case was given to the Jury at 2 p. m., at the close of the third week of the trial. Few cases have been tried here in which public judgment was so nearly unan imous as to the outcome. Though there has been no prejudice here foror against the defendants, who are entire strangers to the community, the impression has steadily grown among spectators .that the state was making an uphill fight. All the evidence has been circumstantial and much of it very shadowy. Proof has been lack ing even that Lyda's death was caused by strychnine poisoning, and the circum stances pointing to the guilt of the accused parties are only such as might ordinarily happen In a country neighborhood without even exciting gossip. A. B. Anderson,, of Crawfordsville, closed the argument for the state at noon to-day. It was an able effort and apparently had weight with the jury. No verdict had been returned up to 10 o'clock to-night. ' Will Be Tried for Murder. Sjeial to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE,; Ind., Jan. 5.
