"WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.— After two
hours devoted to the consideration of
.bills on the calendar today the senate
-nt 1 o'clock began the consideration of
tin oojaipromise army reorganization
bill which had been agreed upon by
the members of the military affairs
committee.
t'ntil a short time before the meas
ure- was taken up it was supposed it
Would l>o passed today without serious
difficulty, but when it was learned by
Borne senators that the bill provided
■jtor a permanent increase in the stand
ins-;- army, objections were heard and
U became evident that the measure
v.>ul>i "pave to run the gaunlet of sharp
criticism.
Mr. Hawley, chairman of the mili
tary affairs committee, called up the
"bill.
At the conclusion of the reading of
Ihe measure, Mr. Gorman (Md.) sug
gested to Mr. Hawley the deslrability
of permitting the bill to go over until
Monday. "1 think," said he. address
ing Senator Hawley, "you will eeon
ise time by allowing the bill to go
over."
Mr. Allison (Io.) suggested that If
the bill's consideration was postponed
until Monday a time for a vote early
on Munday should be agreed upon at
this time. Some effort was made to
fix an hour on Monday for a vote, but
without success.
Mt. Cockrell (Mo.), a member of the
military affairs committee, indorsing
the act. discussed at length the feat
ures of the measure.
Mr. Hawley offered an amendment
providing that "no person who has
passed the age of forty-five shall be
appointed as a field officer in said force
(the volunteer force), officers of the
regular army excepted."
OPPOSES THE BILL.
Mr. Allen (Neb.) addressed the sen
ate in opposition to the general feat
ures of the bill. He was surprised that
Mr. Cockrell could give his sanction to
such a measure. "If there ever was a
hideous skeleton, a monstrosity, a de
formity in legislation, this bill Is one,"
he declared. "It is warped, disjointed,
\ dislocated. It lacks science, it lacks
coherence, It lacks good sense.
"I am not concerned In this delight
ful fight now going on between the
secretary of war and the general com
manding the army. I honor Gen. Miles
in that fight. Every intelligent man in
the country believes that our army was
fed on trash, and that a large percent
age of the sickness and mortality in the
army was due to the food given to the
soldiers," he said.
Passing from the army trouble, Mr.
Allen p.dverted to some in the navy.
Ho regarded It as a glorious thing that
Admiral Dewey had the presence of
mind to cut the cable between him and
"Washington, and that it was fortunate

for Dewey he \v:is in position to sever

"Then, .too-" said Mr. Allen, "we '
have the controversy over the two ad
mirals in the navy. Whether tha man
who fought the battle resulting in the
destruction of Cervera's fleet and won
it shall have the laurels of victory or
whether they shall go to a man who
was ten miles away seems a subject
of controversy by the navy depart
ment.
"The American people, 70,000,000 of
honest hearts and souls, will always
believe that Schley was the hero" of
that battle, and won that battle, and
1 am not detracting anything from
the service of Admiral Sampson, who,
if he had been there, would have ac
quitted himself nobly. This seems to
be a game of battledore and shuttle
cock, and over In the navy department
they are shedding more ink than
Mood."
MR. GORMAN'S VIEWS.
"It shall not be said of me," said
Mr. Gorman, who followed Mr. Allen,
"that I hamper the administration in
any respect. It shall have all the men
and all the money to dispose of the
conditions at hand that it may need.
It seems to me in doing that, if it be
only to suppress an insurrection in the
Philippines, the executive ought not to
ask us in the closing hours of a short
session of congress for such a meas
ure as this. The president ought not
to ask us for greater power than was
accorded him in the war with Spain.
It is not proper that the executive
should ask for this suppression a larger
force than was given the president of
the United States when we were at j
war with England, at war with Spain,
at war with Mexico."
Mr. Gorman said that if one proviso
were contained In the bill to the effect
that at the expiration of two years the
army should again be reduced- to a
peace footing of 27,000 men he would
agree to it.
' "But whatever the conditions may
be," he continued, "'with the accept
ance of the -proviso. I suggest you will
have an army of 100,000 men until four
months after the term of President
Mc'Kinlev shall have expired. The
measure" -will give him greater power
than a. president ever had. It is a
tender of greater power than was ever
made in a similar circumstance."
Mr. Gorman said that what he
should insist upon, until his voice
should cease to be heard in the sen
ate, was that congress be permitted to
deal with the question deliberately
and with ample time for its considera
tion.
MENACE OF A BIG ARMY.
Mr. Hawley had asked who was
afraid of a large standing army. In
reply Mr. Gorman safd that every
state in the Union was afraid of it.
He (Mr. Gorman) was afraid of it him
self. Such an institution was contrary
to the spirit of our affairs. He recalled
the -time when, in 1876, the troops were
summoned to Washington at the time
of the' Hayes-Tilden controversy.
"I remember the quiet intimidation
of the presence of the troops," said
Mr. Gorman. He had great personal
respect for Mr. McKinley, and had no
criticism except that, in his good na
ture, he had permitted weakness and
inefficiency in the departments. "Weak
ness," repeated the senator, "time
alone con reveal whether there has
been anything worse." Mr. Gorman
computed that for next year the ex
penditure, on account of the army and
nav v v, would aggregate $369,000,000,
greater than the total expenditures of
the government for 1871 to 1876. He
predicted a deficiency of $180,000,000.
Then there must be an increase of the
direct taxation, or more bonds or cer
tificates. "Even now I hear that the
secretary of tbe treasury is contem
plating the Issue of more government
obligations."
Continuing, Mr. Gorman said the only
question was that of making a perma
nent increase, requiring the action of
all franchises of the government to
discontinue.
Mr. Tillman asked if the Philippine
rebellion could not be put down by vol
unteers, and Mr. Gorman said he saw
no reason why it should not be. But
this was not the desire. The wish was
to have more shoulder straps and more
men to wear them. - Insignificant as
were the representative members of the
army, comparatively, in the Spanish
war, there had been more appoint
ments of officers in the army than had
received such advancement during the
first year of the rebellion, with all the
South in arms. Never were brigadier
generals so thick in Washington.
There were a sufficient number of
them alone to suppress an ordinary
rebellion. Mr. Gorman declared that,
under the present head of the army,
a proper organization of the service
could not be effected.
EMBALMED BEEF SCANDAL.
Mr. Tillman, interrupting Mr. Gor
man: "Then there is nothing in the
bill to prevent a recurrence of the em
balmed beef scandal?"
Mr. Gorman passed off the question
lightly, saying he knew little about it.
Mr. Tillman — None of us know any
thing about it yet. perhaps; but there
is so much of it in the air we can
smell it.
"I do know this," replied Mr. Gor
man, "the secretary of war is a much
abused man. He is not responsible for
the department in which the officers
are appointed for life."
Mr. Gorman, in conclusion, made an
appeal to the senate to fix the number
of men and the amount of money nes
essary to meet present exigencies, and
both 'would be given them, if only a
time limit were placed on the call. If
this suggestion of his was refused, and
the bill forced through congress, then
let the responsibility De taken by those
who auvocate it.
Mr. Carter, a member of the mili
tary affairs committee,, replied briefly
to Mr. Gorman.
The army bill was then laid aside
for the day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.— (Special.)
— There was considerable bluffing d-ar
ing the past week over army reorgan
ization, which would have been more •
effective had not each side, in -a- way, - 1
shown Its hand. "Pass the Hull bill."
the presidenet threatened, "or 1 will
call an extra session." "Call your old
extra session," the minority replied,
"and take the resjjpnsibility." And '1
yet it was apparent all the time that >
the leaders on both sides were anxious
for congress to finish up its work and
get away. Hence, the compromise
that has resulted was anticipated. Sen
ator Proctor prepared the way by his
proposal that staff appointments fee
from the line and only for the .term >
of years. This appealed to the thought
ful of both parties, to whom the idea of
a permanent staff, appointed by Algfr, '
is an abomination. Its favorable re
ception was an object lesson to the
president, telling him that, extra ses
sion or not, the Hull bill, in its en
tirety, could not be passed.
Hull, It must be understood, has
stood for Alger in congress. When,
two years ago. Speaker Reed-appoint
ed Mr. Hull, of lowa, chairman of the
committee on military affairs, there
was no comment except that a respec
table, but not eminent, man had re-'
celved a respectable, but not eminent,
position. Mr. Hull had served three
terms in congress and, therefore, was
entitled to a minor chairmanship, and
such it was supposed he received; for
ordinarily the committee on military
affairs has had nothing more impor
tant to do than to report the conven
tional details of an army appropria
tion bill during the piping times of
peace.
But the Spanish war forced great
ness upon Mr. Hull. Members saw,
with much disquiet, the committee on
military affairs vastly magnify in
work, without any corresponding
growth in its constituent parts. It
cannot be said that Mr. Hull has risen
to the occasion, except to sit down
again. From the first he antagonized
many, fully as patriotic as he. through
his persistence for an enlarged perma
nent establishment. From the first,
his ideas have been those jvhich the
bureaucratic clique of the war depart
ment instilled into the receptive vac
uum of the secretary of war's mind.
Now, in the closing days of his impor
tance, he sees the work of his hands
torn asunder and patched beyond rec
ognition.
ALGERISM WANING.
All this will be aloes to Alger, but
then his figure is waning in- the phos
phorescent light of decayed beef. The
evil days have come to the secretary
of war and there is no political health
in them. Even his complaisant war
commission censured, him for not hav
ing "that complete grasp of the situa
tion which was essential to the highest
efficiency and discipline of the army."
Gen. Miles, he is forced to perceive,
through the corroboration that dis
tinguished officer is dally receiving
from the testimony before the court of
Inquiry, is out of his reach — in fact,
miles above him. Congressmen by the
score have refused to share the dis
credit of accompanying him on a
junketing trip to the tropics to inspect
what he has not done. And now it is
said, though not yet believed, that the
president has intimated that his chair
would be preferable to his company.
Pity the sorrows of a poor old man!
It is hard to have rattled around so
noisily, enduring the consequent
thumps, and to bear away the dubious
distinction of having so intrigued that
Eagan has received a more substantial
reward than- has yet been suggested
for Dewey.
CONGRESS CAN CONCLUDE.
With the army bill out of the way,
congress can easily conclude all neces
sary legislation before the fourth of
March. The census bill Is now In con
ference and so is the navy personnel
bill. Such appropriation bills as re
main are so far advanced as to be
capable of settlement in short order.
Hope is even expressed that in the last
hours those highly important meas
ures, the shipping subsidy bill, the
Alaskan code and the Hawaiian ter
ritorial bill may be enacted. When It
really becomes necessary to act with
out talking, it is surprising how much
can be done.
There is even some chance for the
public building bill, that sanitarium for
political futures; for the house commit
tee on rules has agreed to set apart
a day for its consideration. The sen
ate, in view of this cheering prospect,
has reported favorably on public build
ing bills in addition, aggregating in
amount more than one million dollars.
When the senate fails to Increase an
apprcpriation it will have lost Its cun

ARMOR PLATE AFFAIRS.
Mr. Underwood, of Alabama, who is
one of the most codsplcuous of the
younger Democrats, dealt sme hard
blows the other day at the proposition
to nay the armor plata barons at the
rate of.|5 4 4a per ton. He sho_wed that
the labor and material consumed cost
not over $200 per ton, and asked wheth
er any other manufacturing company
In the country would -want or expect
more than ah' equal amount for inter
est, taxes, insurance and profit. But
more than t,his, he showed that the
total capital*' 6f the Bethlehem works
and the Carnegie company is $7,600,000;
while the report of a competent board
of naval officers proved that the gov
ernment eon build a plant of equal
capacity, .with the latest improvements,
for just half, that amount.
Mr. Underwbod asked Mr. Boutelle
whether Russia was paying the Cramps
more tha"n $400 per ton for this same
armor; but the chairman of the naval
committee^ .which presumably had in
vestigated . all ( ' such matters, conven
iently did not know. It is currently
reported that Russia is only paying $350
per ton for armor, and it certainly
would be consistent with the Repub
lican protection fetich to have this
country pry $200 per ton more.
Mr. Todd, of Michigan, who seems
to be in a" constant state of nervous
irritation, suggested a drastic remedy
ih caise the armor plate* concerns, ow
ing to the Krupp secret process, re
fused to reveal the same to the gov
ernment In case it should build Its own
works. "Blow those factories to pieces
with our cannon." he shouted. Mr.
Todd, it may be mentioned, was not
returned by his admiring constituents
to the Fifty-sixth congress.
STATUS OF SOLDIERS.
Tho house judiciary committee has
finally reported its conclusions on the
standing of those members who have
accepted military and civil appoint
ments. As was expected, the commit
tee discriminates against arms and in
favor of laws; that is it reports that
members accepting military commis
sions vacated their seats; while those
serving on the various legislative com
missions remain in good and regular
sitting.
The arguments adduced are specious
to say the least; for constitution very
explicitly says that no member shall
bold any other offlce, military or civil,
but then there may not be another
war within a life-time, while commis
sions continue to multiply and to in
crease in popularity. Messrs. Parker
and De Armond will file a minority
report, holding that the same rule must
apply to both cases.
The majority report argues that com
missioners neither make laws, execute
laws or perform any judicial function.
And yet the peace commissioners pre
pared a treaty which becomes a part of
the law of the land; and the Hawaiian
commissioners recommended a system
of government. The Industrial com
mission, lately organized, is specifical
ly authorized to devise laws to meet
the problems presented by labor, agri
culture and capital.
JOINT HIGH UNJOINTED.
The joint high commission has un
jolnted itself and hied away to other
scenes, much to the disguest of the
Michigan lumbermen, who are left to
figure on what they haven't accom
plished. Despite the gush of Anglo
mania cs, the failure, thus far, must
be charged to British, and especially
Canadian greed-. Alaska was the sepa
rating point, and it is not believed
that any agreement can be made re
garding it, when the commission meets
in August next. ...
As a fair sample of the sort of parity
which Canadians favor, the following
figures prepared by the treasury de
partment are suggestive: During 1898,
the number. «t cars loaded with goods
shipped through the United States from
one point in Canada to another was
10,966, bearing approximately 209,000
tons. During 1897, the number of ears
loaded wit*Ji' American goods shipped
through Canada from one point in the
United States to another was 460,269,
bearing approximately 5,637,178 tons.
Whereby it appears that the quantity
of American goods hauled by Canadian
roads was about twenty -seven times
greater than the quantity of Canadian
goods hauled by American roads.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
Internal Revenue Commissioner "Wil
son reports that the receipts so far
during the present fiscal year, under
the war revenue tax are $170,500,000. >
Should they continue at the rate for
the rest of the year, they will aggre
gate $269,942,000.
ACRIMONJOUS~DEBATE.
House Devoted. Day to Considera
tion of Army Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.— The house
continued "vvork on the army appropri
ation bill today, but failed to complete
it.
Considerable, animosity was devel
oped during the debate.
Mr. Cockran (Dem., Mo.) attempted
to secure time 'to answer the state
ments made on , the other side yester
day that there. .was nothing in the na
ture of an allianco between Agulnaldo
and the American forces before the
capture of Manila. ,
Mr. Hull objected.
"This is not the first time," said Mr.
Cockran, "that the majority in the
closing hours of a debate have made
challenges and then objected to re
plies. Their objections are made to
cover their retreat."
Mr. Hull thereupon withdrew his ob
jection, and Mr. Cockran proceeded to
give what he said was the most "im
portant chapter" of the war. "Upon
the testimony of three American gen
erals." he continued, "first, that we
solicited an alliance; second, that it
was solemnly formed; third, that the
Filipinos kept their faith, and fourth,
that we shamefully violated our com
pact. He referred to the reports of
Gen. Anderson. Gen. Greene and Gen.
Merrftt to prove his assertions of the
valuable aid rendered by Agulnaldo
and the insurgents.
