THE MORNING OREGONIANi TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1901. ANATTAGKONEAGAN Teller's Denunciation of the ex-Commissary-General, ALSO OF THE PRESIDENT The Senate Had the Army Reorgani zation Bill Under Consideration, ' Bat Blade Absolutely Ko Progress With It. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Just at the close of a day of dreary discussion of technical details of the Army reorganiza tion bill. Teller, speaking to an amend ment he had offered, delivered a sensa tional denunciation of General -Eagan, ex-Commlssary-General of the United States Army. His statement Included also the Administration, because General Eagan had been retired, according to the Colo rado Senator's charge, as "a decoration and a reward" for his attack upon the commanding General of the Army. Ab eolutely no progress was made with the Army bill today, not a single amendment being disposed of Anally. At the opening of the session a bill with reference to the employment of cler ical assistance In the district of Alaska was passed. Wolcott presented the final report of the Postal Commission. He explained that the report would have been presented ear lier had not Illness prevented. Allison reported favorably from the finance committee a bill concerning the distilling of brandy from fruits, the idea being to add cherries and figs to the list of fruits Included In the present law. He asked consideration for the bill today. In response to a question from Petti grew, Perkins explained that the bill was to enable the horticulturists of California to make temperance drinks from cherries and syrup of figs. (Laughter.) Pettlgrew objected, "because there Is no proof that the brandy to be made Is a temperance drink." The bill went over. Consideration was then resumed of the Army reorganization bill, the pending question being an amendment offered by Bacon, striking out that provision of the bill authorizing the President to increase the number of noncommissioned officers and privates in any troop of cavalry. In response to a question by Hawley, Bacon declared that both the letter and spirit of the Constitution were opposed to the Idea of conferring upon the President discre tionary power to Increase the size of the Army. Such power was vested only In Congress, and the transfer of such author ity was a departure from the principles fixed by 100 years of American history. "This question Is not going to be de cided by the passage of this bill," ex claimed Bacon. "The people have not waked up to and realized the enormity of this proposition. They will, however, and they will correct the evils." After some desultory discussion. Bacon withdrew his amendment and offered an other, introducing the words, "during the present exigency of the service," so that the clause would read: "Provided, that the President, during the present exigency of the service, in his discretion, may in crease the number of Corporals in any "troop of cavalry to eight and the number of privates to 76." Discussing the phrase, "exigency of the, service," Caffery said he presumed It was "the Presidential Idea of war in the Phil ippines." Mallory said it was possible an exigency might arise for the use of an army in Cuba. Speaking for the amendment last offered by Bacon, Foraker maintained that the Army of 5S.0C0, the minimum size of the Army fixed by the pending measure, was not a large force In all countries. In the view of the committee, for caring for coast fortifications, and In view, too, of the probable early construction of the Nicaragua Canal, every soldier provided for in the present bill would be needed. With reference to the conference of au thority upon the President to Increase the size of the Army within a maximum limit, Foraker declaredk "It Is not only not a departure from principle, but It is dis tinctly In line with precedents," citing Beveral. Allison declared there was no purpose in the pending bill to pass the authority of Congress to the President. Congress always would have the situation in hand. It would be able at any time to Increase or decrease the size of the Army. The power conferred by the bill upon the Pres ident could be exercised only with the consent of Concress. Hawley made an appeal to the Senate to cease discussion and pass the bill. "Twen ty thousand men," said he. "will have to cross the Pacific before July 1, and yet, the Senators here are discussing matters that were settled long ago. I beg you let this bill go through and start the work of raising troops to relieve the boys In the Philippines." Spooner advocated conferring upon the President greater discretionary authority to Increase the size of the Army,. Mallory said he could see no reason why Congress should take "the dangerous and "unprecedented step contemplated by the bill." Further dlsculon of the Bacon amendment was postponed until tomor row. An amendment was offered by Teller, to that section of the bill which authorizes the President to retire any officer who has been suspended from duty, either by sentence of court-martial or by executive order. In mitigation of such sentence, striking out the words "has been" and substituting therefor "shall be hereafter." After saying that the section had been incorporated In the bill for the purpose of enabling the President to retire General Eagan, ex-Commlssary-General of the Army, Teller declared it was retained In the bill In order that an officer of the Army, Major Joseph W. Wham, might be gotten rid of. "He cannot be gotten rid of In any other way," said Teller, "and he ought not to be gotten rid of In any circumstances." Teller adverted to the case of General Eagan at some length. "Of the beef fur nished the Army," he said. "It was boiled and canned, and of very ancient lineage, some of which had made a trip to Europe and back, being fed to our soldiers after It had been condemned by European gov ernments." Teller denounced General Eagan in sensational language. "A3 an officer of the United States Army," said he, "he made an exhibition of himself and showed himself to be a miserable black guard " Referring to General Eagan'a denial of General Miles' charges as to "embalmed beef," Teller declared: "His language was brutal and low. and so bad It could not be overlooked, although there twas a very evident desire to overlook It." Teller made a stinging attack upon the President for having retired General Ea gan. asserting that the "retirement in the circumstances was a decoration, and not a punishment, and many of the American people believe it was a decoration and a reward for his attack upon the General commanding the Army " At the conclusion of Teller's statement. Carter, one of the members of the mili tary affairs committee, addressed the Sen ate in an appeal for the passage of the pending measure at an early date. He said that on the Pacific there were only eight transports at the disposal of the Government for the transportation of troops to and from the Philippines. By beginning the work of transporting the troops at once they might be able to com plete it by July 1. the date of the expira tion of the present law Otherwise, it mifiht be necessary to mploy special ves sels, the chartering and fitting up of which "would Involve Immense expense. "I think the Senate ought to know," said Carter, "that each day's delay In the passage of this bill will involve an ad ditional expenditure of at least $500,000." "I suggest." said Cockrell, also a mem ber of the military affairs committee, "that the Senator ought to have made this statement earlier in the session, and not to have waited until a majority had left the chamber." Carter Bald tomorrow he would ask the Senate to fix a day for the final vote upon the measure. Teller declared Immediately that he would object a any date being fixed for a final vote. He said he had not unduly obstructed the consideration of the bill, but the propositions contained in it were of such a character as to demand full debate. If the party in power, said he, desired to facilitate its passage, the Senate could be asked to meet at 11 o'clock each day. "This bill is not a party measure," sug gested Carter. "It was reported to this body by a committee composed of men of all parties. If the Senator from Colorado insists upon considering it as a party measure" "That Is a gratuitous insult," shouted Teller. "I was about to say," continued Car ter, "that if the Senator from Colorado desires to make this a party measure, he will find it difficult to get a following In this chamber." Teller then renewed his suggestion that the Senate meet at 11 o'clock, or at 9 o'clock, or at any other hour. "I don't care If this delay does cost $500,000 a day. It Involves the creation of a great stand ing Army that will cost the Government millions upon millions of dollars after we are dead and gone." Carter then moved that when the Sen ate adjourn It be until 11 o'clock tomor row. Pettlgrew Interposed with a motion to adjourn, and Anally the Senate, at 5:55 o'clock, adjourned until noon tomorrow.

Congressional Committee Deter mined to Institute Reforms. WEST POINT, N. Y., Jan. 14. The Congressional Investigating committee held three sessions at the West Point Military Academy today- The first two sessions and the greater part of the night session were occupied In the examination of Lewis Brown, Jr., of Newport, who was one of Keller's seconds In his fight with Booz. From the line of examination adopted by tihe committee, the Congressmen are evidently bent on the abolition of hazing and fighting at the academy. They put Brown through an exhaustive examina tion. In the course of which they elicited the fact that In violation of the rules and regulations of the Institution the upper class men carry Intoxicating liquors into the reservation, and consume a consid erable quantity of it. Another stringent rule seems to have been broken with Impunity- This Is the regulation prohibiting smoking. Cadet Brown acknowledged that the majority of the cadets were cig arette smokers, and that plenty of cigar ettes were smuggled Into the Institution. General Dick, Judge Smith and Mr. Drlggs handled Brown without gloves. Mr. Drlggs told him that the first-class men thought they were the whole thing, and Judge Smith said that they were conceited, arrogant and Indignant in their presumption of putting their Judgment against that of the authorities of the academy.

POSTAL INVESTIGATION CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION FILES ITS REPORT. Means Suggested for Reducing Ex pensesFive Reports on Rail way Mall Pay Question. WASHINGTON, Jan. lt-The postal commission of the House and Senate, which has been investigating postal mat ters for tho last two years, made Its re port today. The committee reports In fa vor of excluding from the second-class mall rate, first, books, whether bound or unbound; second, newspapers and period icals unsold, sent by a news agent to another news agent or returned to the publisher; third, sample copies of news papers above a certain small, fixed pro portion of the circulation. The commis sion also unanimously reports against the continuance of the system of transmitting malls through pneumatic tubes under present conditions. The commission unan imously reports that neither a change In the postage nor the establishment of a system of parcels post Is practicable un der existing conditions of revenue and expenditure, even If otherwise desirable, upon which no opinion Is expressod. Upon the question of railway mail pay, there are five reports: First, a report signed by Wolcott and Allison, which declares that the present rate of railway mall pay Is not excessive and ought not to be changed, except by the discontinuance of the appropriations for special facilities, which It declares should be discontinued. Second, a report signed by Loud, con curring with the last-named report ex cept hat It recommends the adoption of railway mall payments in accordance with space occupied, instead of by the meth ods now prescribed by law. Third, a report signed by Moody, which declares that, upon the evidence, the rail way mail pay Is not excessive, but recom mends further investigation as to the prevailing methods of loading postal cars, and Inquiry Into the question whether the methods may not bo corrected so as to result In a saving without Injury to the carrier. In this report Catchlngs concurs. Fourth, a report signed by Martin and Catchlngs, dissenting from the views of the other members of the commission with regard to the discontinuance of ap propriations for special facilities. Fifth, a report signed by Fleming. In which he states that he thinks there should be some reduction In the present rate of railway mall pay, either by a 5 per cent reduction generally, and a still further reduction on the routes where the volume of traffic Is greatest, or In case the suggestions are not adopted, by a change In the special pay for postal cars. Chandler does not Join In any report, owing to his absence from Washington. Fleming also holds that the Government should pay for the transportation of Post offlco officials when traveling as passen gers In passenger cars. Free transporta tion for mail men should, he thought, be confined to mall cars. The Oleomargarine BUI. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Secretary Gage was before the Senate committee on ag riculture today to answer Inquiries con cerning the oleomargarine bill. He said the bill, as a revenue-producer, wa3 use less, and was not needed. If It was not a revenue bill it was a misnomer and ob jectionable on that ground. Ho said the revenue under the present law was well collected, although there were some losses. He explained that many of the Inspectors were not experts and could not detect oleomargarine without analysis. He also said that there was not an ade quate force to see that tiio oleomargarine law was carried out In every particular. He pointed out that there were 4000 deal ers In Chicago, and that it would be Im possible to watch them all. For a Court of Pension Appeals. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. The general commander of the G. A.

Meantime, the Saengerfest Athletic Association proceed ed with their work at the hall, and let more contracts. But the most Important development In favor of the Saengerfest Athletic Association was the signing of a petition by over 100 members of the Cham ber of Commerce In favor of the pulling off of the fight here as scheduled.

Felix Adler, In his talk on "The Degradation of Great Cities, and the Remedies," before the So ciety for Ethical Culture in Carnegie Hall last night, asked, "What Is a bad city?" and answered himself by saying, "New York." "In New York, Philadelphia and Chi cago we have put the burglar In charge of the bank," he continued. "That'ls all the trouble. In this city the maintenance of law Is in the hands of those who are proflt lng by the violation of law. The whole movement for reform means simply to depose that burglar and all the others who proAt by the violation of law. There is at present what Is called an 'anti-vice crusade' In the City of New York, and many of those who at present feel out raged by the conduct of our city gov ernment are not without guilt themselves. It Is because the forces of corruption have passed the line which even the worldly minded driw that tho present gust of Indignation has come. "There are social vices which have al ways existed, and which, doubtless, for a long time will continue to exist. The trouble Is that they have been artificially pampered and positively encouraged. The vile stream has overflowed its banks and Is bearing the children away on Its terrible flood, it is that fact which has evoked the storm of protest. "Now this state of affairs exists In all the large cities of the country. And at the root of all the trouble Is partisan dictatorship the boss system, as It is called. Of course the people want a scapegoat. At present It happens to bo the gentleman with the conspicuous per sonality who has the kindness to run the City of New York for us. People even talk as -If the whole trouble would be mended as soon as we give him his conge. Such talk is, of.course, futile. The older persons here remember hls predecessor, and I am afraid you of the younger gen eration may have cause to remember his successor. "The power of the boss rests on the In come which he -controls. This Is, In the flrst place, from patronage which has been In part cut off from his control by the civil service regulations. The fanatics of civil service reform, however, overlook the fact that as this particular source of Income was taken away one came up through the corporations. The boss has benefits to confer and fear to Inspire. And in the places inthelr em ployment he has an entirely new means of reward. The next step must be to cut off his control over corporations. "An officer of a corporation recently said to me: 'I hate and despise myself.' "The third source of the power of the boss Is crime." He gets supplies from jail birds. It Is not enough for us to stop the mischief in the red-light district. It Is not enough to bring a few individual offenders to condign punishment. This 13 not merely an 'antl-vlce crusade:' there never was a greater misnomer. We must cut off this line of supplies to the be sieged citadel if we wish to destroy the power of the boss." For the flrst time since he left this city to aka up his work In Washington the Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmago appeared on the platform of the Academy of Music last nlsht. Ten thousand people were present to welcome him. The occasion was the 20th anniversary of the Bowery Mission, where Dr. Talmage was one of he founders. The programme Included Dr. R. S...McArthur. Dr. A. C. Dixon, J. Wil bur Chapman and others. Superintendent J. G. Halllmond, of the Mission, In opening the exercises said the crusade for the purification of the city had opened up a new world of effort to the mission and that It was In the fore front of the Aght. Dr. Talmage declared that the crusade would result In the,.re demotion of New York. 1 "The sympathies of good people every- where," said he, "are with the men who? are trying to purify this city. New York" will be taken for God. The century opens with the brightest prospects of any cen tury that has gone before. "We have read at a distance of the ef-, forts that are being made to purge this city of Its vice and Immorality, and some have said, 'It can't be done. New York cannot be saved.' But I tell you Newf York can be saved and it will be saved. Tm AAnfnvif to i rulfnflpo frfoof 1rflJ . tklO L.111U1 J &3 KJ AbttCOU U & V&fcfc IV"! vlval of religion.

PATTERSON FOR.SENAT0R CHOICE OF THE FUSION CAUCUS IN COLORADO. , He Will Succeed Edward O. Wolcott Senator Hoar Renominated by Massachusetts Republicans. DENVER, Jan. 14. The joint caucus ot the Fusion members of the Legislature tonight decided to support Hon. Thomas M. Patterson, of Denver, for United States Senator, to succeed Senator Ed ward O. Wolcott. There are 91 Fuslon lsts In the Legislature. Including Demo crats, Populists and Silver-Republicans, and of these 87 were In tho caucus. Mr. Patterson received 74 votes on the first ballot. The public was surprised early this evening by the announcement that ex Governor Charles S. Thomas, who has been Mr. Patterson's leading opponent, had withdrawn from the race. His name did not go before the caucus. The total vote of the Legislature on Joint ballot is 100. Thomas M. Patterson was born in Ire land, November 4, 1840. With his parents he came to America in 1853. After a short residence in New York the family re moved to Crawfordsvllle, Ind., where Thomas worked for some time In a print ing office. He wa educated in Asbury (now Depauw) University. He enlisted at the first call for troops, but served only a few months on account of poor health. Ho read law and practiced his profession for a time in Indiana. In 1873 he came to Denver and formed a partner ship with Hon. Charles S. Thomas, who, it Is interesting to note, was hiB leading opponent In the Senatorial contest Just closed. This partnership lasted a year, but was resumed In 1879, and continued until 1S90. In 1874, Mr. Patterson wa3 chosen Territorial Delegate to Congress, and greatly aided In securing statehood for Colorado, tn 1876 he was sent back to Congress, this time as a Representa tive. At the end of his term Mr. Patter son resumed the practice of law In Den ver. In 1890 he purchased a controlling in terest in the Rocky Mountain News, to the conduct of which he has since very largely devoted his time. Mr. Patterson Is second vice-president of the Associated Press. SITUATION IN PENNSYLVANIA. Fight Is Close With the Chances In Quay's Favor. HARRISBURG. Pa., Jan. 14. The ill ness of certain Senators and members has Intensified the feeling existing as to the result of tlfe contest for United States Senator. Neither side can tell with cer tainty how many, If any, of Its follow ers will be absent when the Senate and House vote separately tomorrow noon. Everybody admits that the fight Is very close, with the chances in Colonel Quay's favor, but that he can not afford to lose many votes by the ab sence of his followers. Should he re ceive 127 votes, or four more than were cast for him In joint Republican caucus, which nominated him, he will be elected. The two houses will vote separately to morrow and If Quay or any other candi date should receive the requisite 127 votes, the Senate and House will meet Jointly Wednesday to canvass the vote and de clare an election. There Is every indication tonight that the bitter struggle will terminate tomor row with the election of Quay. The Dem ocrats will vote for Colonel J. M. Gtfffey, of Itsburg, and the anti-Quay Repub licans are expected to distribute their vptes among several "favorite sons." The House and Senate will vote separately at 3 o'clock t6morrow afternoon, and the probabilities are that Mr. Quay's com bined vote will not fall short of 130. There Is nothing to Indicate tonight that there will not be an election on the flrst ballot, or that there will be another deadlock similar to that of 1899, when the Legisla ture adjourned after taking 79 ballots without making a choice. Quay had 130 votes In the caucus held a week ago. Tonight Representative Thompson, of Center County, and Mr. Reynolds, of Lackawanna, who have here tofore been acting with the anti-Quay Re publicans, announced their intention to vote for Quay tomorrow. The Quay peo ple claim that others who have opposed the ex-Senator will be found tomorrow on the Quay side of the ballot. A meeting of the Republican Senators and members pledged to oppose Mr. Quay's election was held this afternoon Senator Flynn, of Allegheny, said that all the members were present except four. "The only news from these absentees was from Mr. Reynolds," said Senator Flynn, "It being conceded that he had-succumbed to the Influence of the machine. All the gentlemen present were as strong to op pose the election of Quay." DOCKERY INAUGURATED. Missouri's Sew Governor Booms the St. Louis Fair. JEFFERSON, Mo., Jan. 14. Hon. A. M. Dockery was inaugurated Governor of Missouri at noon today In the presence of both branches of the Legislature.

PETERSBURG, Jan. 14. Sunday the representative of the Associated Pre3s was lriformed on good authority that Em peror Nicholas, from his private means, had presented M. Dowitte, Minister of Finance; General Kourapatine, Minister of War, and Count Lamsdorff, Minister of Foreign Affairs, 200,000 rubles each, as an expression of his gratification over the development of Manchurlan affairs, the protection of the railway, and the suppression of disturbances In Manchuria. According to the budget, the cost of the war to date is 62,000,000 rubles. It Is pro posed to devote 130,000,000 rubles to rail ways In 1901 and not to negotiate a loan. This favorable budget unquestionably strengthens M. Dewitte, and It Is expected that the Czar will signally recongize his, services. Reports emanating from certain Ministers assert that M. Dowitte will be come Imperial Chancellor on the Russian Ne-p- Year, with superior directive powers all over the departments of the govern ment. Some persons who are usually well Informed regarding such matters doubt the story, which naturally cannot be con firmed. At all events. M. Dewltte's slaV is evidently in the ascendant. His lovo of peace, his determination to develop Russia's Internal resources, and his pro fessed American sympthles are sufficient reasons why the world, especially Amer ica, can congratulate Russia, Russia has had Chancellors Intermittently.

England, al though the first naval power In the world, has not much to boast about in the mat ter of naval progress in 1900, says the London correspondent of the Tribune. Not a single battleship was launched during the 12 months two first-class ar mored cruisers, one third-class cruiser, four sloops and eight destroyers complet ing the list and no real progress has been made with this year's programme, except in the case of the two new second-class cruisers, as the contracts for six new armored cruisers have only just been given out, and the first keel-plates of the two new battleships will not be laid until the end of March. It Is some consolation to Englishmen to know that France's naval progress at the same time has been greatly retarded, owing to the delay in delivering mate rials. Russia made great strides last year, and In naval progress competition among the powers she easily heads the list. Germany coming next and Japan third, while England only secured fourth place. Russia completed and commis sioned two first-class battleships, one first-class armored cruiser and eight de stroyers. The rapidity of Russian shipbuilding was one of the features of tho year. The armored cruiser Gromobos, a formidable vessel of 12,000 tons, which was only laid down at the Baltic works, St. Peters burg, in May, 1898, is now en route to China. . Plot Asalnat the Csar.
