C0NFERENCEREP0RTAGREEDT0 Vigorous Speeches In Opposition to the Bill Made by Pettlgrew, Teller and Others Several Republicans Voted With the Democrats. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-After an eventful legislative experience, beginning with the present session of Congress and covering about two months, the bill for the reorganization of tbe United States Army today passed its last stage In Con gress, and now goes to the President for his signature. The final step was taken In the Senate, where, by a vote of 33 to 25, the conference report of the bill was agreed to. The House of Representatives had already agreed to the report. The conference report was kept before the Senate constantly today, even the shipping bill giving way. Opposition to the bill continued to be vigorously ex- pressed, Teller making an extended speech in criticism of the "War Depart ment and of the measure in general. An opposition developed on the Republican side to the report, based on the alleged freedom which the conferees had taken In Introducing new provisions. On the final vote several Republican Senators voted with the Democrats against the bill. The shipping bill was discussed during the latter part of the day, and some prog ress was made on amendments. A speech by Rawlins against the bill was In prog ress at the close of the day. Chandler announced that a night session would bo moved tomorrow to advance the bill to Its final stages. When the session opened Pettlgrew ad dressed the Senate upon the conference report. He said he had voted against the bill and would have been pleased If It could have been defeated. Pettlgrew re ferred to the fact that the Senate had refused to pass his resolu tions making Inquiry for the facts con cerning the situation in the Philippines. He asserted his belief that the official rec ords would show that the Dattle of Feb ruary 4 was ordered from Washington, and he charged that only such facts were given to the public as suit the party now in power. He charged that notwithstand ing the instructions to the Paris Commis sion had been sent to the Senate in se cret, the President had quoted copiously from them In his letter of acceptance, omitting such portions as did not suit his purpose, "and yet," he said, "the Senate refuses to" make the document public." He also charged that General MacAr thur's report had been suppressed for par tisan purposes and that the reports of the Taft tCommlssIon were nJlored upon, or ders from Washington to fit the emer gency. He asserted that the Filipinos are not enemies of the United States and he hoped they would be successful In their contest for liberty. "I hope the day will never come," said he, "when I shall cease to sympathize with a people struggling for liberty, no matter where they are." Pettlgrew took special exception to the provision In the bill authorizing the en listment of Filipinos. He Introduced and had read a long letter from Tomas Mas cardo, a Military Governor of one of the Philippine Provinces, In which it -was charged that more severe torments upon the Filipinos by the American troops had been inflicted than the Spaniards bad ever been guilty of. "Robbery, pillage, violation and mur der," the letter said, "are the first proofs of protection we receive when the Ameri can soldiers enter a Filipino community." The letter-writer characterized General Otis as "the blind Instrument of the am bitious McKinley." Pettlgrew said he would not cite this letter if the charges made in It were not confirmed by letters from American sol diers themselves. He believed these bar barities were practiced by the Maca bebes, of whom it was now Intended to enlist 10.000. Pettlgrew presented an arti cle by Sixto Lopez, which he said refuted Some of the official literature on the di versity of tribes. The "article gave in de tail the tribal organizations, the Inter relations of the tribes, and the enlight enment and education of a great part of the Filipinos. Other Filipino documents were read alleging that their forces, when captured, were exposed to extreme tor tures; despite the official orders that civ ilized' methods ef warfare be pursued. The unalterable purpose of continuing' war until liberty was secured was set forth at length. Galllnger Inquired as to whether Pettl grew personally believed our soldiers were guilty of atrocities and tortures In the Philippines. Pettlgrew suggested that a full reading of his remarks In the Record would sufficiently answer the Inquiry, and he resented Galllnger's Insisting on an other answer now. Galllnger said that, for one, he did not believe the American uoldlers were committing atrocities any where. Pettlgrew responded that perhaps the New Hampshire Senator had failed to read the Secretary of War's testimony before the military committee that the Macabebes, who murdered, burned and robbed, were being enlisted. Teller rose to state that two United States officers were disciplined for prac ticing the "water curs" on natives. The Senator also had received a call recently from a man who came upon a party just after they had Inflicted this deplorable torture, and who saw the victim covered with blood and mangled about the mouth. The shipping bill was laid before the Senate as the unfinished business. Haw ley asked that It be laid aside temporarily to permit the discussion of the conference report to proceed. "I object," said Pettlgrew. This brought the shipping bill and the Army conference report Into conflict, and one or- the other had to give way.- Frye, in charge of the shipping bill, thereupon said: "I have s'tated heretofore that I would press the shipping bill, even as against appropriation bills, and would yield only to a vote of the Senate. I did not Include In the statement the Army reorganiza tion bllL I regard that measure as the most Important before the Senate, and I therefore move that the Senate proceed with the consideration of the Army con ference report." Frye's motion was carried without a dissenting vote. "I am glad we have found out what is the most Important measure before the Senate," said Pettlgrew. "Yesterday we thought It was the bill to pay campaign debts with ship subsidies." He then proceeded with his speech re lating to the Filipinos. Toller fallowed with a criticism on the course of the War Department in seeking to discredit thase who Opposed the Army canteen. Speaking of the conference re port. Teller said he opposed a large stand ing Army, and opposed the provision by which the cruel Macabebes would be enlisted in our service. After describing the horrors of the "water-cure" torture. Teller said the American flag would come down none too soon if It required such methods to uphold our authority. The Senator condemned the statement attrib uted to General MacArthur, in which he Is said to have told a returning regiment that one of Its chief services was In en gendering a warlike spirit, without which no nation could endure. Hale said he felt a sense of surprise and outrage that the commander of the main portion of the United States Army, while engaged in war, should be so pos sessed with the Old World spirit of mili tary conquest and military ambition as to use the language attributed to him, and If It proved true that this language had been used. Hale said he feared there would be a terrible reaction from such sentiments. Bacon suggested that General MacAr thur had beem only a little more frank than others, fchd that the General was stating an existing condition which surely would have a terrible reaction. Teller went on to say that the recent acts of extraordinary brutality at West Point grew out of the sentiment now pervading the Army. He proceeded to give Instances of the cruelties ..of the allied armies In China, declaring that It constituted ah impeachment of the meth ods of Christian civilization, the outrages South & r jr 0v tzi -d "No Man's Land" Is a strip about 3 miles long and half a mile wide, between Multnomah and Columbia Counties, but by a curious er ror is Included in. the territory of neither county. It has consequently been under the Jurisdiction of neither county. Representative Smith, of Multnomah, has introduced a hill Into the State Legislature which will define the boundaries of the county so as to take In the strip. The people living on the land, which Is wholly on necks surrounded by sloughs, have not paid taxes, and some have had their deeds re corded in Multnomah and others In Columbia County. In running the north line of Multnomah County, the surveyors started from the same point In the Columbia P.Iver as the men who were surveying for Columbia County. But for some unaccountable reason the surveyors dropped southward half a mile, and then extended the line westward to Willamette Slough, leaving out the; strip that the bill proposes to add to Multnomah County. of foreign looters being infinitely greater than the outrages of the Boxers. Teller characterized the Philippine friars as the vilest of the vile, whose conduct could not with propriety be referred to openly In the Senate chamber. And yet the Philip pine Commission had put this obnoxious class In charge of the schools of the Islands. The Senator commented on Gen eral MacArthur's extreme course In de porting a newspaper editor from Manila, and Hoar Interjected the remark that one of the charges of American colonists against George III was the deporting of men .beyjjiel thfgus. Jn closing Teller, referred'to the sad spectacle of5t,hisgfaat Nation seeking glory out of dominating the brown man of the Pacific Islands. Butler made a parting protest against the bill, saying he believed a resistance by every recourse under parliamentary usages would be justified. Hale said he had no great love for the bill, and had been constrained to vote for It under the representation that,' unless we expected to abandon the undaunted remnants of American soldiers until they were driven into the sea, we must rein force them. Hale also made a. severe ar raignment of the conferees, saying that they had dared to lay their hands on the bill as passed by the two houses, and had deliberately Inserted new provisions. The Senate should not condone this offense, Hale declared. He announced that ho was not for the report because of the ac tion of the conferees. v Chandler also expressed the view that the Senate should reject the report. Jones, (Ark.) said he had been told an entire section had been put Into the bill by the conferees.. Proctor, one of the conferees, said this was a tempest In a teapot, and he de fended the course of the committee. The conference report was agreed to, 33 to 25, as follows: AYES.

The amendment Inserting 15 years for 20 years as the utmost limit that compensation shall be paid pursuant to the a,ct was agreed to. Another amendmpnt proposed by Aldrlch changed the rate section by omitting the clauses on 19. 20 and 21-kpot ships, and changing the provision on 18-knot ships tp read': Eighteen knots and over, 1.6 per gross tons." Before the Senate acted on this amend ment, .Rawlins began a general speech In opposition to the bill, setting forjEn the enormous sums Involved. He had hot concluded his speech when the bill was laid aside for the day. Chandler gave notice that he would ask for a night session tomorrow night to ad vance the consideration of the pending measure. At 5:45 P. M. the Senate held an- execu tive session, and adjourned shortly there after. OPERATORS AND MINERS. Joint Conference of Bituminous Coal 3Ien In Columbus. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 31. The joint conference of the bituminous coal oper ators and miners was called to order at 4 P. M.. by President John Mitchell, In the Board of Trade Auditorium. Over S00 miners and "Operators were In the halL After the appointment of commit tees on credentials and rules, the con vention adjourned to 9 A. M. tomorrow. The only point upon which there Is ab solute unanimity of sentiment among the operators Is that no advance will be con sidered. The miners must rely, therefore, on securing concessions In other direc tions. It Is apparent that the miners will make a vigorous effort to secure the adoption both of the run-of-mine basis and a uniform differential between pick and machine mining. PICK OF THE NAVIES Ten Miles of Warships From Cowes to Portsmouth. READY FOR TODAY'S CEREMONY Body of the Late Queen Will Be Moved From Osborne House This Afternoon It Will Be a. Spec tacle Rather Than a funeral. COWES, Jan. 31.-3 P. M.' A glittering crescent of light stretches this evening from Cowes to Portsmouth. It consists of 10 miles of warships, the pick of the British, French and German navies. These He at anchor ready to take part In tomorrow's ceremonies, when the navy will pay a last magnificent tribute to the MAP OF "JMO MAN'S LAND." Boundary of Columbia Counp : jm wok Stu.rae.on L.ake ?f Worth Boundary of Mutnpmai STRIP BETWEEN MULTNOMAH AND COLUMBIA sovereign whose reign was marked by the greatest naval progress In the hls- ) tory of the nation. Apart from these spectacular rows and rows of twinkling port lights, separated from each other by only a few cable lengths, one might fancy that the quiet towns of Cowes and Ryde might bo un dergoing a blockade. The guns sweep the wooded shores at short range, At the head of the line are the old paddle- wheel royal yachts, their somber hulls i standing out In vivid contrast against the J white sides of the Hohenzollern. Then, In "single- column, comcthe- British battle ships. Half-way to Portsmouth the single line merges inio a stately double row, the vessels of tbe foreign nations and the biggest of the British craft lying there and waiting to salute the body of Eng land's lamented Queen. It probably will be nearly 4 o'clock to morrow afternoon when the Alberta, with the royal coffin, leaves Cowes. She will steam Into the single line, and then enter the passage formed by the levlathlans. This evening she lies at Trinity Pier. Her quarter-deck is covered with awn ings, under which the men have been working throughout the day In making the final preparations. The awning was necessary because rain fell until a late hour, cold and dreary weather prevail ing. The omens for fine weather tomorrow are not propitious, but -the first of thou sands of spectators are arriving this evening, together with soldiers In bril liant unlfprms. The mile and a half of road outside the town of East Cowes, and separating Osborne from Trinity Pier, Is a typical country thoroughfare. The troops lining It will have different work. The coffin, the military spectacle and the other attendant features will in spire Intense interest and emotion, but what creates greater expectancy is the announcement that Queen Alexandra and the Princesses of royal blood will walk down the mnddy road and through the narrow streets to the water's edge. Thl3 part of the programme thus far holds good, although, should rain be falling when the procession starts from Osborne House, the royal ladles will scarcely per sist In their determination. At Osborne this evening all Is quiet. During the day the royal personages walked about the grounds and passed the hours in much the same way as they had done for a week or more. Two solitary policemen guarded the lodge gates. Down the road the sound of carpenters Is disturbing the quiet hedge rows by the hasty erection of stands, and In Cowes and East Cowes there Is the same noise. But the windows and seats on stands that would sell In London for 50 guineas each are going at half a guinea. People throughout the countryside are lamenting tomorrow's sorrow, for with it will go the remains of one whom they had grown to look upon as peculiarly their own, as well as the prestige her constant visits bestowed upon the local ity. Meanwhile the Invader, the excur sionist, the journalist and the visitor from the Continent or the mainland dis cusses without ceasing the best coign of vantage to view tomorrow's spectacle, for spectacle, rather than funeral. It will be, because of the elaborate prepara tions, which will make It rival In studied magnificence the naval and military dis play which marked Queen Victoria's jubi lee. , Prince Henry of Prussia and his staff landed here at noon today. After an In spection of the Guard of Honor, the Prince proceeded to Osborne House. The squadron of German warships, command ed by Prince Henry of Prussia, compris ing the flagship Baden, the Adin and Nymph, the curisers Victoria Lulse, Ha gen and Nymph, and two torpedo-boats, reached Splthead this morning, and took up position opposite Plymouth, at the ex treme eastward end of the line. The Ger man squadron will thus, with the Brit ish vessels opposite it. the Majestic, Prince George, Mars and Hannibal, have the place of honor, and Will be the last to see the Alberta, with the remains of the Queen, enter Portsmouth. Next to the German warships comes the French battle-ship Dupuy de Lome, and then the Japanese battle-ship Hatsuse. The end of the line will be occupied by the Portu guese cruiser Don Carlos I and the Span ish cruiser Emperador Carlos V. The coffin of Queen Victoria was finally soldered this morning and Inclosed In the outer casket i -Queen Alexandra pays frequent visits to the sick-room of her son, the Duke of Cornwall and York. Although the Duke has had a severe attack of German measles and considerable fever at night, it Is expected he will be convalescent in a week. The Duchess of Cornwall and York will return to nurse him Immedi ately after the funeral. the: procession at cowes. Official Order of the March From Os borne House to the Yacht.

Dr. Wel gel, president of the Lower House, re ferred to the late Queen Victoria In eulo gistic terms, and asked the Deputies to mark their sympathy for Great Britain by rising to authorize the president to convey an expression of their sincere con dolence to the House of Commons. The proposal evoked an expression of dissent In some quarters, especially among the German Radicals, whose pro-Boer sym pathies were emphasized by cheers- for the Boers. Cries of "Success to the Boers," "Down with England," and other pro-Boer and anti-British shouts re echoed through the building. The great majority of the Deputies, however, con demned the Anglophobe outburst and rose from their seats as a sign of condolence. The president of the Upper House paid a warm tribute to Queen Victoria, and the entire House stood up as a mark of sym pathy with Great Britain. Duke of Cornwall's Condition. NEW YORK, Jan. 3L A special to the World from London says: Considerable alarm was occasioned by the night's bulletin concerning the Duke of Cornwall and York. The Duke's con stitution Is none too robust at the best, and an attack of this description Is a se vere attack on the strongest adult. Com plications are feared, and Sir William Broadbent, a great fevei specialist, is expected at Osborne. It was an attack of German measles that first broke down Lord Rosebery's health. The Papal Representative. ROME, Jan. 31. Leo Xni has designated Mgr. Granito de Belmonte, papal nunciat In Brussels, to proceed to London and to present to King Edward the condolences of his holiness upon the death of Queen Victoria and felicitations upon his coming to the throne.

"Well," said he, "if eating dough, chew ing the end of a hawser, going around with a shingle down my back, drinking vinegar without putting my nose in the glas and such other trifles is being hazed, I should'not wonder If 1 was."

SALEM, Or., Jan. 3L The new Portland special tax-levy bill passed both houses today, and will be presented to the Gov ernor tomorrow for his signature.
