Mill- 4 . tary Government. -' WASHINGTON, March STThe .Senate, spent almost the entire, day listening to the committee amendments to. the Army bill concerning provisional trtfbps in the Philippines, and the consolidation . of the Adjutant-General's office with the record and pension office. The Porto Rlcan amendment was objected to by Demo cratic Senators, as tending .to a more pronounced military form of government. Both amendments ultimately were ac cepted. The bill was amended so as to provide tor an increased engineer corps. It was still pending when the Senate adjourned. At the beginning of the session New lands spoke in favor of the passage of his bill to preserve the vista from the dome of the National Capitol to the "Washing ton Monument by restricting the erection of public buildings to a line 400 feet on either side of a central line between the points named. He expressed the opinion that no more public buildings should be erected on the Mall, but It should be re served for exposition buildings, with a view of having exhibitions in Washing ton every ten years, as Is done in Paris. The bill was referred to the committee on the District of Columbia After a bill amending the mining laws contained In section 2326, revised statutes, had been passed, the Army appropriation bill was taken up and the reading o the committee amendments proceeded with'. At the request of Proctor the commtitee amendment authorizing the payment of 25 per cent of the ealaries of officers and men of the Philippine scouts in Philippic currency was disagreed to. When the reading pf the bill was completed the amendment concerning the provisional Porto Rlcan regiment was again taken up. Teller moved to disagree to the Senate amendment making the regiment consist of three battalions, Instead of two, as fixed by the House. The suggestion caused debate which took a wide range, concern ing the use of native troops In the de pendencies. Teller, Stewart, Spooner, For aker, Daniel. Carmack, Money, Morgan and Quarles participated. In the course of his remarks Foraker said any intima tion that the President desired to use the Porto Rlcan troops for an Improper pur pose was unfounded. Opposes Military Display. ' Carmack said he took the proposition as an Indication of a tendency toward a mili tary government, saying the "distin guished soldier," Mr. Root, had been mus tered out of the office of Secretary of War with flying flags and blowing horns, and his successor had been inducted into office under similar conditions. "Now," he said, "we are to have a mili tary display on the presentation of diplo mats. I am sorry the order for that sys tem was too late for Bunau-Varilla. 1 should like to have had the system in vogue on his arrival and would have been glad to command it" Teller's amendment was rejected and the provision for three battalions was re tained. The Senate also returned to the com mlttee amendment transforming the Adjutant-General's office into a military sec retary's department. Proctor said the amendment was in the Interest of operative detail, and he de fended General F. A. Alnsworth, at the head of the record and pension office. against the charge of too rapid promo tlon. The provision promotes General Alnsworth from a Brigadier-General to a Major-Gencral. The amendment was agreed to. Increase In Engineer Cirps. Culberson suggested an amendment pro Tiding for an increase in the engineer corps, explaining 'the necessity for a larg er number of engineer officers in the river and harbor work of the country. With some modifications the amendment was accepted. It provides that the corps shall tin rnmnpspd of 10 Colonels. 16 Lieutenant- Colonels. S2 Major's and 43 Captains, 43 First Lieutenants and 43 Second Lieu tenants. An amendment was proposed for the re tirement with advanced rank of officers who served In the Civil War so as to make It retroactive. The amendment was accepted.

HOUSE GRANTS HER REGISTER Warm Debate Over Request of Eng lish Ship Wrecked Off Nova Scotia WASHINGTON, March 8. Today In the House was set apart for consideration of claim bills. Thirty-two of this charac ter were passed. One relating to the granting of an American register to the ship Beaumont gave rise to much debate. Stevens (Minn.) made the point that to admit such ships to American registry would be detrimental to the interests of American workmen. He was seconded by Humphrey (Wash.). The bill was passed. Shortly after the House convened. Speaker Cannon, In ruling on the confer ence report in the legislative," executlvo and judicial appropriation bill, stood by a former precedent, holding that conferees could not Insert new matter. The point of order was made by Mann (111.). It pertained to the matter of car riages for officials of the Government The conferees had inserted the words "or official" after the word "porsonaL" These words were not put in by either House. Considerable discussion was precipitated over the bill providing an American register for the steamer Beaumont, for merly the Mira, wrecked off the coast of Nova Scotia. After Fordney (Mich.) had explained the bill. Stevens (Minn.) vigor ously opposed it. saying in the course of his remarks that it had for its object legislating money out of the pockets of American workmen. He was replied to by William Alden Smith (Mich.). McMorran (Mich.). Thayer (Dem.. Mass.) and Dun- well (N. T.), who Insisted that the meas ure was a just one and should pass. Smith said the vessel formerly was an English one. The present American owner, he argued, could not get an Eng llsh register, and now the gentleman from CANNOT BE- EXTRADITED. .

The Sheriffs had taken charge of every thing In . the house, and labels had been attached to Bezeke's furnltre, etc, which would have been sold at auction today.

Corvallls Times. Charles Colbert has made a queer kind of a dining table on which he has applied for a patent. One section of It is -an or dlnary circular table five feet In diameter. A circular Iron tube passes through the center from below, the under end of which Is even with the upper surface of the tahle. A secondary Dart of the table is a circular plane two ieet m aiameter. At the center of the under surface of this Is attached a spindle fitting within the tube aforesaid. It Is arranged so that the lesser section, .when adjusted, is about six Inches higher than the larger one Thus tho attachment, or second story of the table, may be revolved, upon this all the eatables are placed while the platter. cups and saucers, knives, forks, etc., rest on the stationary section. The advantages of this dining table are many, and they are all incidental to the fact that any In dividual seated thereat Is able to help himself to anything before him by the simple act of turning the "dumb waiter."

War Minister Makes-Brief Reply to Spirited Socialist Attack on the Military System and Do ciines to Go Further. BERLIN, March S. The matter of the resignation of the hereditary Prince of Saxe-Melnlngen, "brother-in-law of Em peror William, from the command of the' Sixth Army Corps, which followed .the is suance of an order by the Prince, In which he 'advised private soldiers to" lodge complaints when they were Illy treated, came up in the Reichstag today during the discussion of the military budget. Helnrlch Ernest Mueller (Frelsslge mem-, ber of the Reichstag from Melnlngen) pointed ont that the 'remarks made last week by General Von Elnem, Minister of War, when he denied the Prince had re signed or been dismissed from the army, were worded In such a way as to mis lead. "Can you disprove," Herr Mueller asked General Von Elnem. "the statement which was circulated by the press that the Prince received a letter In. the hand writing of Emperor William demanding that he revoke his order on the subject of the ill-treatment of soldiers, and there upon the Prince handed In his resigna tion. Official proof of this exlsts&ln the Cabinet order dated the very day or? which His Majesty's letter to the Prince was written. This order says the demand made by the. Prince that soldiers be re minded df their duty to lodge complaints when ill-treated should be rectified to. read 'Have a right to complain when so treated.' " Caused Painful Impression. This was the sharpest kind of disavowal of the Prince's a"ct. His removal caused the most painful Impression amonK the entire German people, and the connection between his order and his removal cannot be explained away, ft was a month later that the Prince was appointed to be Inspector-general of the Second Army Corps as a slave to the humiliation. which resulted from his dismissal. "The reason why this matter made such a pain ful Impression is that hundreds of thou sands of people now believe any army officer who tries energetically to stOD the Ill-treatment of private soldiers will be disciplined." Herr Mueller further de clared that In the Bavarian army there were much fewer cases of maltreatment than In the Prussian army, explaining tnis- statement by saying there were fewer nobles in the former army, that-the offi cers were better educated, that the mili tary courts had long been held in public. and that stringent measures against mal treatment had been In force for several decades. "If you. want to combat the Socialists," Herr Mueller continued, "you must do nothing to advertise them. Petty adminis trative regulations act like pin pricks, make the Socialists appear as martyrs. and result In forcing millions of people to vote the socialist ticket." i Herr Mueller went on and described the discontent existing among army officers of civilian birth, saying they complained of. the preference given members of the nobility In the matter of appointments and advancement. He read a letter from an officer of high rank, who asserted that the discontent among civilian offi cers was very great, and declared In con clusion: "Never before has there appeared such unfavorable criticism of our military ad ministration as. ia now being printed In newspapers of all political parties."' Defends the Emperor. To Herr Mueller General Von Ednam replied by first reading verbatim his re marks made on this matter March 4, after which he said: "When Herr Mueller say3 the Prince was dismissed because of his general or der against the Ill-treatment of sol diers, I must answer that this is an un disguised attack on the highest officer in the army. He speaks as if His Majesty had not proceeded personally with all possible energy against Ill-treatment of soldiers, and as If the Emperor had dis missed this officer for acting In accord ance with his own principles. Where shall we end If a discussion Is held here In the Reichstag every .time His Majesty appoints a commanding general? Under no, circumstances can this occur, and I must refuse to participate In this dis cussion." He denied that army officers belonging to the nobility were given preference over officers of civilian origin in the general staff of tho Ministry of War, and de clared many regiments had officers with out titles. "If, however," he declared, "His Majesty rewards the merlta of the nobles. It was not our business to criti cize." . General Von Elnem denied also that dandyism prevails among the officers. He declined to be drawn into further de bate with the Socialists, and did not re ply to the remarks made earlier la' the day by Gorge Ledebour (Social Demd- crat), who had said: "Ton want to frustrate our Ideals with force of arms, but wait until we get a majority and have the power to realize our Ideals: then the German people will Ayer's I fciraannnnnimniEiinFiinii I I it means an active liver, for one I thing.
