y H. 'Waskey. who comes to Congress as
jL&i* first spokesman in the House of Repre-
recently submitted to the President a
written statement relative to territorial necessities,
jj'V&leh he advocated a revision of the mining

That the question of territorial government was

[From. The Tribune Bureau.]
"Washington. December 15.
GENERAL ETAFF UNSENTIMENTAL,.— March-
Ing by song -will not be exacted of infantrymen.
6ußge«tlons have been made to the War Depart
ment of the advisability of having the men sin*
a? they march. This is done in some of the foreign
armies. Nor every organisation of the army can
have martial music, but the next best thing many
people think Is to have the men sing as they march
as a means of '"shortening the distance." The
proposition Las recently been made to the War
Department that soldiers be taught to fins. The
Secretary of War has obtained a report on the
subject from the General Staff, which considers
that su^h instruction is not of sufficient Importance
to b« added to the regular work of the soldier,
wnose time may be more profitably taken up with
something more essential to his occupation.
EVERYTHING COSTS MORE.— The Navy De
partment finds that the Increase In the cost of
labor and material of every kind in all lines must
result in a revision of all the estimates ■'vhi'-.h
were made, a year or more ago for public, works.
The Mm« Is true, of course, under the War De
partment. The higher rate of wages and the
greater cost of material will result in failure to
obtain all the material which it was thought could
be purchased with available funds. An instance
of the change In conditions is afforded by the bids
recently opened for some inch gun carriages,
•which a few years ago did not cost more than $10,
000. It was thought that the in reass In cost of
labor and material would probably bring the cast
of the carriages op to |1E 900, but it is new
found that they cannot be obtained for much less
than $20,000. This will mean that, whatever at
tempts may be mad* to decr«a?«» th« appropriations
for military and naval material, there is a good
argument on the side of trying nothing radical in
that direction.
CAUTIOUS ABOUT FLIGHT.— The War De
partment is not Inclined to take up with serious
ness and enthusiasm or encouragement the prob
lea of aerial navigation, and the army board of
ordnance and fortification, to -which all euch
propositions are submitted, has no far refrained
from going on record with any deflnlteness con
cerning the qualities which must be possessed by
Eo-cal!ed flying machines before such devices are
Officially considered. An Ohio firm has been con
ducting 6ome interesting and progressive experi
ments on the North Carolina coast. It is reported
to be discouraged with tli« lack of military interest
in the subject and contemplates going abroad, pos
sibly . .• France, for that appreciation not found at
home. The hoard of ordnance and fortification
has done tittle wit] the flying machine- since it
made an appropriation for the Lanaiey experi
ments, and the ridicule visited on those trials has
made the board somewhat careful of taking up the
subject ngnin In an official way. Th« Ohio firm
complains that the board has not been willing to
■ay what would be regarded as of sufficient prom
ise in the •way of mt-'ohanism to justify govern
ment recognition of the experiments.

BATTLESHIP CONtfECTTCrT SAILS.
j Goes South for Winter Manoeuvres With
out Preliminary Trial.
Firing a salute of thirteen guns In honor of
i Admiral Coß'nla!;, the battleship Connecticut left
; the Brooklyn Xavy Yard yesterday morning on
; her maiden voyage. The Connecticut is fully
j equipped for sea service, and will proceed to
i Hampton Roads. Va.. to take part In the winter
• manoeuvres of the Atlantic fleet.
This is the first time that a war vessel has
been sent to sea without a. preliminary trial In
deep water. A largo Dumber of navy yard offl
j ciais and employes thronged the Cob Dock and
I cheered the giant battleship as she swung out
Into the channel of the river and proceeded

Rear Admiral Evans. Admiral Coshlan, Will
i bun J. Baxter, naval constructor, and several
■ naval officers who have had charge of the build-
I ing of the various parts of the Connecticut, were
i also on the pier to watch her depart.
The keel of the Connecticut was laid March

WOULD NOT CHANGE INDIAN LAWS
1 Mr. Hitchcock Thinks Interior Department
Safest Guardian for Red Men.
Washington, Dec. 15. — Secretary Hitchcock un
' equivocally declared yesterday that he believed the
i Interior apartment the only agency through which
; the rigiits cf Indians may be secured against real
estate agents of Indian Territory and Oklahoma.
The declaration was made bafore a special Senate
| committee, which Is investigating the property
' rights of the Five Civilized Tribes, with especial
' reference to the value of coal and oil deposits.
Secretary Hitchcock explained the methods of the
■ agent - and said that the Indians had no chance
against their cunning and Yankee trading Instincts.
; 11- would recommend no change in the law in re
gard to the alienation of the Indian lands.
The plan of permitting the courts to name guar
! dians for Indians in the mat of alienating th-ilr
-, lands was condemned by Mr. Hitchcock, who said
i the department was now investigating charges that
i certain of these professional guardians had worked
lln too dose harmony with the alleged grafters, it
\ was shown that In one lace the courts had ap
j pointed one man as guardian for Indians In ninety
I distinct cases.

-PRIVATE" ALLEN ON SALARIES.
Thinks It a Good Thing the House Did Not
Raise Them.
[From The Tribune Bureau.]
Washington, Dec. 15. — "Private" John Allen, of
Tupelo, Mids., called on President Roosevelt to-day
to pay his respects and e._ch_ng» greetings. Mr
Alien la now practising law and farming It by turns
at Tupelo.
"If a good thing that th« Hous« decided not to
raise the salaries of Its members," Bald Air. Allan.
"Of course, they earn more money than they are
paid, and ought to get more. but, as a matter of
fact. If their salaries wer« larger, they would be
Just si> much less account to the government. If
they had more money to spend they'd have to take
mure of the government's time to do It, and, good
ness knows, as It la they are devoting too much,
time to squandering their substance. If they had
half again or twice aa much to spend, they'd do
mighty little work for their constituents. Now,
I know very well that, If I had been making $10,000
m. year when I was In Washington. Instead of $5,000,
I wouldn't have a. cent more to-day and my i«cord
of achievements us a member of Congress would not
be bo brilliant as It is. Of course, 1 was "broke"
nearly all the time I was In. Washington, and It
was only by practising the most rigid economy dur
ing the months that I was on the farm that I man*
aged to make both ends meet at th.« close of the
fiscal year. It is argued by the salary raisers that
$1,500 does not go any further now than $5,000 did
a few years ago. and that Is true. It costs like tHS
rtiMice to live, and the poor Congressman feels It
worse than a good many other people. But. at the
same time. I maintain that, If a fellow will only
devote some time to his Congressional business and
leas to spending the miserable stipend n* gets, ha
will .be able to scratch aior. '. I know I did, and I
would have been willing to try It again'
VIOLENCE AND OUTLAWRY IN STRIKE.
Testimony in Shea Trial Brings Out Methods
Pursued by Teamsters.
Chicago, Dec. 13. — Scenes of turmoil, violence,
slugging and shooting during the teamsters'
ptrike were described to-day in the Shea trial
by A. L. Fosso, superintendent of the Forbes
Teaming Company, which had the contract to
haul freight for several large grocery houses.
The witness gave his evidence under difficulties
because of the persistent objections at the at
torneys for the defence. The court finally ruled
that Fosse could tell his story.
"In many instances." «aid the witness, "we
had to tight for our lives. We were followed
by thousands of persons, and our wagons were
blockaded at almost every turn. We had to
light for every Inch of ground. The mobs at
tacked our teams, and cut the harnesses and
flre.l at us."

B. Y. TIFFANY LOSES POINT.
Justice Blschoff. of the Supreme Court, In mis
taining a demurrer interposed by Herts Brothers
to the defence of Burnett Y. Tiffany that none of
his income of $18,000 a year ran be taken by his
creditors, said that, as he viewed the rase. the right
of tlie creditors to reach so much of the income as
was not needed for Tiffany's maintenance clearly
existed, and that the creditor was entitled to .1
determination which will rtx the amount of Income
reasonably applicable to Tiffany's maintenance.
The amount that the plaintiff* can take must be
determined at the trial of the action. In IHH
Herts Brothers got a Judgment against Tiffany
for J74G. and they have bees trying la collect the
money ever since.
