SUPPLY BILLS ARE FOUGHT
Deadlock Between House and Senate
Might Leave Departments of Gov
ernment Without Any Visible
Means of Support.
By GEORGE CLINTON.
Washington. This year in cougress
thoro has been n disposition to tack
"extraneous legislation" onto tho ap
propriation bills. Under tho Repubtlc
an rulo no legislation was put on the
supply measures except that which the
party members claimed had a rightful
place there. Years ago thoro was
adopted In congress what was callod
tho Holman rulo prepared by Repro
eentatlvo Holman ot Indiana, "tho
watchdog of tho treasury." This rulo
allowed legislation to bo put on tho
supply measures provided It was In
tended to decreaso government ex
penditures. The Republicans repudi
ated tho Holman rulo, but tho Demo
crats havo reinstated It.
Tho army appropriation bill carries
legislation reducing tho cavulry ot the
army from 15 regiments to 10, and It
contains somo other legislation which
tlio Republicans say is "extraneous.
rhe senate is Republican and It seems
to bo opposed to the action of tho Dom.
ocrats In nttaching legislation to the
supply measurp. Thcro aro arguments
for and against the course which tho
Democratic majority in tho houso has
followed, but tho right or tho wrong
of the thing aside, tho fact rmains
that tho senate is likely to get at log
gerheads with tho houso over thoso
matters and as. a result it may bo that
congress will sit until a time long
aftor the national conventions havo
beep held.
Produces New Situation.
If either hoiioo wishes to do it, It
:an hold up. appropriation bills nnd by
refusing to sanction them can leave de
partments nnd branches of govern
ment without visible means of support,
provided, of course, that adjournment
comes before tiio supply bila havo
been sanctioned. If tho senate shall
agree with tlio house and pass tho ap
propriation measures with their riders
It s possible, perhaps even probable,
in ono or two instances that tho prcsi-.
dent will voto the hilts which ho does
not like. If he should veto tho army
bill, for 'instance, because of attached
legislation of which he disapproves,
the army officers and the C0,o00 or 70,
OOo enlisted men would bo left without
a rent of pay, and more than this.
thcro would bo no money for tho pur-
:haso of supplies. This thing did hap
pen onco away back lu tho time ot
President Hnyos. He vetoed an nrmy
appropriation bill becauso It had a
rider on It to which neither tho presi
dent nor his party could subscribe. Tho
matter which was put onto tho bill
at that tlmo, however, was to somo ex
tent political nnd controversial in its
nature. Nothing has boon put onto
tho appropriation bills this year which
Is not either directly or Indlroctly con
nected with tho-BcrvIco for which tho
money supplied by tho bill Is voted. It
Is said that there has been no situation
lust'llko this within tho memory of
the oldest member.
Udlans Visit Taft.
President Taft was visited a day or
two ago at tho Whlto House by Uirce
bands of Sioux Indians from tho San
tee, the Pino Ridgo and the Rosebud
agencies. Tho braves of tho Pino
Ridgo were led by Jack Red Cloud,
on ot Old Rod Cloud, who died
a year ago and who in his day
was ono of tho groat warriors of tho
Dakota nation. Jack was dressed In
the clothes of civilization. In a way
ho looked well enough, but not alto
gether comfortable. , This sou of a
warrior of many battles has seen
somo fighting hlmsolf. Ho was "out"
with tho bands of Kicking Dear and
Short Hull in the last uprising against
tho whites In the days ot tho Ghost
Dance craze. Tho last time that ono
whlto man who was at tho Whlto
Houso .when tiio Indians called saw
Jack Red Cloud, tho Indian waB tear
ing down tho trail leading past tho
trader's store at Pine Ridgo nnd
opiptylng his Winchester with a gloe
ful disregard of tho terror that he
was causing.
At tho tlmo of Jack's escapade In
Docombor, 1880, ho was not thirty
years old and, ho was full of war and
enthusiasm. He had lett the hostile
camp boyond Whlto Clay Crenk bont
on a frolic on his own account. On
his pony, painted, red nannelod, and
feathered, ho dashed through tho
agoncy omptylng his gun and nearly
scaring the lives out or half a dozen
newspapor correspondents who hap
pened to bo in the trail.
Sullenly Surrenders.
Young Red Cloud on that day cir
cled the agency, and before tho troops
could kill lilm or nrreat him ho was
beyond tho danger line, headed
straight for tlio hostile camp.
Tho day of tho Indians' call on tho
prosldont, Oor.eral Miles walked up
Pennsylvania avenue through a snow
storm looking not much older than ho
did when ho was In command ot Pino
Ridgo agoncy twonty-ono years ago
last December nnd January, He was
told that Jack Red Cloud was at tho
Whlto Houso nd said that ho would
like to boo him and that If ho was as
good looking man as his father he
roust l a tine, upstanding ludlan,
Tho gatur'nl recently received a let
tor from Short null, ono of the Bloux
chieftains who led his tribe on the
wnrpnth against tho whites Immedi
ately following tho killing of Sitting
Hull by the Indian police near Stand
ing Rock Agency. Short Hull Is noW
leading a lazy life ot retirement on
tho agency. Ills warpath days aro
over, but ho was zealous for light n
score of years ago ard with Kicking
Hear ho was declared so dangurous
that tho two were led captives to Fort
Sheridan near Chicago.
While tho Sioux wore still on tbo
warpath early In the month ot Jan
uary, 1891, Red Cloud, Jack's rather,
who was too old to go on tho war
path no mnttor whnt his yearnings
were, was sent out by his military
authorities to tho hostilo camp to use
his best endeavors to Induce tbo In
dians to surrender without furthor
lighting. Thcro had been a light at
Wounded Knee, whore ninety of the
Seventh cavalry were killed ana
wounded, and whoro Hlg Foot's band
ot Sioux virtually had been wiped out
of existence. Tho authorities did not
want any moro ot it, if thoy eould
bring the thing to an end peaceably.
Red Cloud wont out on his mission
and when ho catuo back ho said that
his appeals had been of no avail.
Craft of the Redskin.
Arter tho surrondor ono ot the Sioux
warriors was asked what Red Cloud
said to them when ho was deliver
ing tho soldiers' mcssago asking for
pcaco. Did ho deliver U7 Not it tho
youths ot his tribe tell tho truth.
Thoy said that the chief came to them
and that his bleary old eyes lighted
and his voice was young when bo told
them that war was for men, and
peaco was for' cowards.
An nttompt was made after tho sur
render to got Red Cloud to tell tho
story ot the Fetterman light, In which
ho led the Slonx. Jnck Rod Cloud
brought to his father a granddaughter
who spoko English, and sho was
asked to act as Interpreter, but tho
old man relused to toll tho story, say
ing that It was not for a warrior to
boast, and then ho added that somo
white man might toll the story.
It was not long after tho Civil war
that Red Cloud met in battlo tho Held
tried soldiers ot that conflict nnd thoy
found him worthy to meet thorn. Mln
oral wealth had been discovered In
Montana and tho rush ot prospectors
and Ecttlers mado it necessary for the
government to erect a military post
along the trail leading over tho
prairies to tho mines. On tho trail
to the Powder River was built Fort
Phil Keamoy. Whllo tho troops or
dered to the new post wero on tho
march a scout camo riding into tho
column wun ms iiuino uuuvi ajmi.
I Later Red Cloud with his braves met
Fetterman In battle and killed him
and fifty followers.
Circles the Globe.
Ono man in Washington is in touch,
by wire and wireless, with every cor
ner of tho United States, ovon up to
farthest Nome, Alaska. And this
samo man. by wiro nnd wirolcss, is in
touch with tho whole world with tho
six or seven hundred wireless tele
graph shore stations scattered all over
the globe, not to speak ot tho op
erators on tho ships sailing the sons ot
tho globe.
If ho so desired, and if the govern
mont which pays him his salary in tho
department of war so ordorod, this
man, could talk with tho oporator in
Eastport, Maine; tho Harvard Univer
sity laboratory, the lightship "Skunk"
off tho English roast, with the Rus
sian station nt Vladivostok, Siberia;
with Poriin or Zanzibar, somo mllos
to tho southward. It It was necen
sary to do to, words could bo Hashed
from Fort William McICiuley across
to Fukul, Japan, nnd no one sallfhg
underneath tho Hying messages need
bo tho wiser. And ovory day tho num
ber or those points in the gigantic
forld-circllng system ot intercommuni
cation Increases--both In ofilclency
and certainty. Tho ono mnn In tho
war department at Washington will
have his hands full, nnd ho can talk
all ho wants to.
Will Be No Babel.
"Tho ether," says Commissioner
Chnmberlain of tho bureau of naviga
tion, "is common property, and with
the chonpost apparatus unrestrained
trivial messages can create babel."
What a magnificent babel It would bo
If tho tribes and tonguos wore at war
with each other! Hut, dcsplto tho In
genuities of tho ever-present prac
tical Jokor, thoro Isn't going to bo any
babel.
As long ago as 1905 tho Imperial
Gorman government, observing the
need for tho regulation ot wireless
tolcgraphy, and In order to secure the
greatest benoflt from It and provent
tho establishment of n world-wldo
wireless monopoly, Invited other nat
tlons to join It in ndequato Interna
tional regulation the only effective
kind, as wlrolesB defies boundary
linen.
It scorns that tho delegates from
tho United States wero inlluentlal In
shaping tho International agroomont,
but, owing to a peculiar circumstance,
thoy are powerless to further tho rati
fication by this nation. Tho reaaon is
simple: tho land-telegrapliB ot Europe,
Japan and nations gonorally aro own
ed by tho government and are usually
oporatcd by the national postotflco sys
tem also always n government Insti
tution. Where the Hitch Comes.
In tho United States, of course, pri
vate capital controls tho laud tole
graph lines. Now, tho norlln conven
tion fixes tho ratos of wlreloBa dis
patches and provides for their trans
mission over land lines to their ter
minus nnd from their point of origin
Somo peoplo eny that without either
fedoral ownorshlp or else federal
control of land lines It will bo inipos
Blblo for this country to join tho rest
of tho civilized world In a contract
essential to the well-being of wl'ls

RELEASE OF ACCUSED WIFE ON
BOND AFTER SECRET HEAR
ING INTENSIFIES FEELING.
A TRIP ABROAD PREDICTED
Popular Sympathy Strong for South
ern Husband, Newspapers Favor
the Woman Grace's Past
Is Studied.
Atlanta, Ga. The release ot Mrs.
Daisy Ople Grace, charged with
shooting her husband, ond bond,
after a secret hearing by Judges Rid
ley ut midnight, has served to einpha
size tlio peculiar and intense division
of opinion in Atlanta as regards tho
shooting. The newspapers aro strong
for Mrs. Grace, whllo tho peoplo are
loud in their expressions ot sympathy
for tho wounded man, whoso family
Is woll known in Georgia. Mrs. Graco
is a Northern woman, without local
connections.
"I don't caro If she is gone, It's
possibly tho best tiling for everybody,"
was Graco's response when told nt the
hospital that his wife had departed
and was not expected to return. Mrs.
Grace left horo for Philadelphia, and
It Is predicted that she will soon leave
tho United States. Her sureties are
professional bondsmen.
Judfio Ridley has been much critt
sized for his action, but ho says ho was
assured that Graco was not likely to
dlo within three weoks, and, in addi
tion to tho bond, ho has tho profes
sional assurance ot .1. A. Branch, Mrs.
Grace's attorney, that his client was
needed In tho North on business and
that she will return.
Tho llfo ot Grace and tho verdict ot
tho jury trying Mrs. Gruco are bet
ting propositions In this city. Odds nro
given that Graco will not llvo three
months. On tho question ot convict
ing Mrs. Graco tho bets aro oven.
Graco's wound is similar to that ot
President Garfield, lie lived about
thres months and this Is tlio limit
given Graco by those who should
know. It io certain tho spinal cord
has not been severed, but it is equally
sertaln It la nearly severod nnd doc
tors say tho breaking of the remain
ing fibers, likely to result from tho
slightest exertion, would cause death
In tho defonso ot Mrs. Grace a long
list of indiBiiitie from her husband,
demands for money and throats of
vlolonce, aro being prcpnred. Tho trou
bio between Graco and his wife is
said to date from a kirmcss iu which
botli wero Invited to take part. They
went to tlio first rehearsal together,
but the second tlmo Mrs. Graco told
tho manager ot tho affair, evidently
with much chagrin, that her husband
declined to take part in tho danco.
This investigation of tho Insurance
company Into Grace's affairs and his
wife's chock book showing tho
umounts sho gave her husband will bo
used by tho defense.
