SEVERAL ( MEMBERS SEVERELY
CRITICISE EXPENDITURES.
MILES NOT TO HAVE FULL PAY
Hull's Amendment Is Adopted After a
Heated Debate Statehood Bill and
Regulation of Railroads Under Dis
cussion In Senate.
Washington , Jan. 12. The appoint
ment of Lieutenant General Nelson
A. Miles as Inspector geneial of the
Btato of Massachusetts overshadowed
all other questions In the discussion
of the army appropriation bill lu the
house. The debate hud proceeded
leisurely until Hull , In charge of the
bill , offered an amendment piovldlng
that letlred officers above the grade
of major should not receive the full
pay of their grade when assigned to
duty with the militia of the several
states. Several members declared
that the amendment \yas directed es-
peclptty at Gmieral Miles , but Hull
Insisted that be had no such thought
In mind and argued that the best re
suits were obtained from officers of
the lower grades. Ho asserted that
not until the law was passed allowing
Increased pay for onicers assigned to
the militia did retired officers of the
higher grade apply for the appoint
ments. Ho bald it was such increased
pay and not patriotism which prompt
ed them and ho characterized their
conduct as unseemly. This statement
roused Cock ran ( N. Y ) . who de
clared that it was simply penalizing
superior officers to the advantage and
profit of Inferior officers. After a live
ly debate the amendment was adopt
ed. Several memoers severely ciltl-
cised army and navy expenditures ,
and ' Prince called attention to the
largo retired list , which included 230
brigadier generals , who , bo said ,
could not have been retired by opera
tion of law , though ho disclaimed any
Intention of charging any maladmin
istration of the law.
The attention of the senate was di
vided between the statehood question
and governmental regulation of rail
roads. Newlands made a formal
speech on the railroad subject and at
Us close engaged in a spirited con
troversy over the points Involved
with Senators Spooner , Foraker and
others. All amendments to the state
hood bill , except that relating to liq
uor traffic In the Indian territory ,
were agreed to.

camu so- insistent , that they btoke
down an lion tailing in front of the
juildlnu , and It was only by despot-
ate clubbing on the pail of the police
that the excited and unruly mob was
prevented troni foicmg many of Its
innibor Into the well Tile policemen
and women were hurt at that point
The emergency police detail was final-
y called out and policemen were sta
tioned at intervals of five or six blocks

triiordmuiy as the frenzied character
of the run itself Tuesday there was
a rush ot depositors to get their

Immediately upon getting their money
into their hands and becoming con
rlnccd that the bank was able to pay
them , tbo frantic Hebrews became
equally anxious to cot their money In

deposit , as this was tbo sixth run tli
bank hat experienced from equal !
trivial causes , ono ot them being from
