WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. The house put
In a hard day's work on the army bill to
day and tonight When It adjourned thirteen
of the twenty pagcw had been completed.
The committee amendments giving the
president discretionary peer to reduce the
lzo ot the infantry companies uml cavalry
troops to sixty men each were adopted and
also a series of amendments to reduce tun
omcora iif the stalf to 331. A substitute
was adopted for the aeotlon providing for
promotions which was designated to equal
ize promotions. A light was made to reduce
the ago limit for officers to be appointed
to the various staff departments from COte
to SO , but it failed. An amendment was ,
Jiowcver. adopted to require a mental and
moral ns well as physical examination of
candidates for auch appointments.
Much of the time today was occupied In
ebort speeches ) on the general proposition to
Increase the army and annex the Philip
pines and there were . .everul lively per-
eonal controvetf ie-n.
The house will meet tomorrow at II
o'clock , and whatever time remains at 3
o'clock , after the debate Is completed on
the nvo-inlnuto rule , will be devoted to
Ken oral debate. The heavyweights on both
( sides will closo. The final te ia to betaken
taken at 3 o'clock.
At the opening of the session Mr. Hop
kins , republican , of Illinois , reported the
census bill and gao notice that he would
call it up next Monday.
To Hoilnee I > 'orcr.
The house then resumed the consideration
of the. army reorganization bill.
The first amendment offered today
was that of which the committee had
given notice , authorizing the president to
enlist only sixty men In a cavalry troop and
sixty In an Infantry company. Mr. Marsh ,
republican , ot Illinois , who offered the
amendment , said that this would reduce the
enlisted force ? to fiO.OOO If the president ex
ercised the discretion It conferred upon him.
Mr. May , democrat , of Virginia , of the
minority of the committee , protested to the
house that It was impossible to perfect a
bill on the floor of the house. Ho would
offer an amendment , ho said , to have the
bill provide for only sixty men In an Infantry
company or a cavalry troop , but glvo the
president discretion to increase the number
to 145 and 100 , respectively , this discretion ,
however , only to be exercised in time of war.
At this point a warm altercation occurred
between Mr. Johnson , republican ot Indiana ,
nnd Mr. Payne , republican of New York , who
was in the chair , the former asserting that
the chair refused to recognize him. Mr.
Payne explained that Mr. Johnson had al
ready consumed much time and ho had felt
constrained to recognize other members.
"Too much Johnson , " shouted Mr.
Tawney , republican of Minnesota , amid
laughter.
Mr. Do Armond , democrat of Missouri ,
objected to the amendment on the ground
that the discretionary power was to be ex
ercised in the wrens direction. The bill ,
lie contended , should provide for only 50,000
men and the president should take the re
sponsibility of Increasing It to 100,000. It
should not provide for 100,000 and give the
president discretion to reduce It.
Mr. Marsh's amendment relating to the
cavalry troops was adopted 105 to 82.
Mr. Hay then offered the amendment Of
which bn had given notice and itwas lost.
Mr. Perkins , republican of Iowa , pointed
out that the only difference between the
minority substitute and the pending bill
iwaa that one gave the president discretion
to enlist 50.000 volunteers nnd the other
tO,000 regulars. Both sides conccde'd that
tor at least two years an increase in the
ormy was necessary.
To Ho tlNi-il In AiinrxliiK Territory.
Mr. Johnson , republican of Indiana , de
nounccd what be termed was an attempt to
befog the Isfuo and place the opponents ot
the bill In a false position. He was willing
to vote for a bill to reorganize the army , but
ho wis unwilling to vote for an army of
100,000 men , which he firmly believed was to
bo uapil when congress adjourned to annex
foreign territory and foist upon the coun
try and posterity a colonial pallcy. This
bill was sanctioned by the previldont. ho had
no doubt , nnd the compromise had been
brought in to allay the opposition. Its ef
fect was to mislead the people. Its purpose
was and would be to create an army o
100.000.
Mr. Clark , democrat of Missouri. In a
characteristic speech , declared that there
waa an epidemic of hysteria In the house
end that a member not seized with th
malady could not get a hcarlnz. The demo
crata had been in favor of a war to fie t
people ; the republicans were now anxlou
for a war to enslave a people.
The republicans jeered when h drew a
picture of the militarism of the future.
Mr. Bland , democrat of Missouri , declare
that the country , the administration an
congress were drifting. No one know wha
the goal was to be. Hut If it was tbo an
ncxatlon of the Philippine. ? , the admlnlstra
tlon should avow It. Concrers should no
legislate In the dark.
Mr. Berry , democrat of Kentucky , nn
nounced himself , amid an outbreak of np
plauso on the republican side. In favor o :
the retention of every foot of territory w
had acquired as a result of the war wit
Spain ,
"But I want to say right here. " continue
Mr. Berry , "that I never want to see th
Philippines represented on this floor. "
"What would you do with them ? " In
quired Mr. Magulre , democrat of California
"I would keep them under our control an
protection as we will Cuba , until they an a
bio to take care of themselves. "
Mr. Berry held aloft a lone list of name
which he said wcro those of men who hai
obtained .appointments In the army becaus
of the influence of grandfathers or father
or uncles or aunts. As a democrat he en
dorsed the action ot the peace commission
he said , and ho believed it wai the duty o
the United States to uphold the treaty , a
against Aguinaldo in the Philippines , as w
upheld it against the Spaniards in Cuba.
Mr. Hull said the bill had been drawn b
General Schwan , ( Major Helstand nn
Major Johnson. He offered the autendmen
giving tbo president the discretion to reduce "
duce the number of diluted men in Infan *
try companies from 145 to sixty and it wu
agreed to.

t
j offered an amendment to authorize the emI -
I I ploymrnt of retired ofllcers on other than
nctlvo duty. The nubstltute and amendment
were adopted ,
Mr. Slmpfon and Mr. Mahon , republican
of Pennsylvania , became engaged In an
altercation which reached its climax when
the latter denounced tbo former as a deina *
gt-gUf ? . |
Mr. Simpson rose to a question of per
sonal privilege In order to reply. Ho
termed Mr Mahon a "plutogogue" and said
that It was but natural that men like him-
relf could not exist In a state where a con
spicuous candidate for the United States
Renate wa/5 under Indictment. The corpora
tions In Pennsylvania elected the congress
men , ho said , and it was therefore strange
that there were democratic or popullsttc
representatives from that state. Ho raised
a laugh by saying he was proud of being
called a "democrat , " haetlly correcting him-
eelf ho said he meant "demagogue , " or
"democrat either , " he added , "since the
Chicago platform has purged the democratic
party. " ( Democratic applause. )
"Tho gentleman has admitted that ho has
been called a demagogue by both sides of
the house. " replied Mr. Mahon. "He has
also been branded a demagogue by the pco-
plo of hlg own district , who bave voted
to leave- him at home. " ( Republican ap
plause. ;
Mr. Cummins , democrat of New York , said
ho hoped the treaty would be ratified
when the president would notify congress
what ho Intended to do. He save notice
that ho would , if given an opportunity ,
offer an amendment providing that none
of the troops authorized In tills bill should
bo used as : i posse comltatus , or In putting
down strikes or rlota except upon the ap
plication of a governor , eaylng he could not
prcseno order with the force at his com
mand.
Mr. Mahon offered an amendment to the
section providing for appointments in the
quartermaster's general department so as to
provide for "mental and moral" as well as
"physical" examinations , which latter alone
wcro required by the bill ,
Mr. Land is , republican of Indiana , speak
ing to the general question , contended that
wu should hold the Philippines in the In
terest of human liberty. The voice of Agul-
naldo , he declared , was no more the voice
of liberty than the voice of Mr. Johnson
* tb voice o ! tint people ot Indiana.
Simpson' * < HcMiret to Incampetrnti.
Mr. Simpson , in support ot Mr. Mahon's
amendment , referred to the "numerous in
competents given commissions during the
late war and Incidentally to the fact that
Chairman Hull's son had bold a lieutenant
colonelcy. Under the bill , said ho. his son
could bo appointed to a similar rank In
the regular army. "I object. " ho added ,
"to creating positions for a lot of incom
petents who strut about the army and navy
club and the receptions In the West end ,
arrayed In the latest McKlnley millinery. "
The Mahon amendment was adopted.
A series of amendments reducing the num
ber of assistants in the staff department
was adopted.
Mr. Mahon protested against the commit
tee amendments increasing tbo age at
whlcli pcraoim could be appointed to staff
positions from 30 to 60 years.
At this point a warm personal contro
versy occurred between Mr. Johnson , re
publican of Indiana , and Landls , republican
of Indiana , growing out of Mr. Landls' re
marks earlier In the day.
The committee amendment providing for
100 dentists with the rank of first lieu
tenant was defeated. Mr. Hay , democrat of
Vlrglna , protested against the committee's
proposed reductions in the medical corps.
Uut the reductions were agreed to. They
reduced the number of ourgeons and as
sistant surgeons from COO to 234 and the
number of privates in the hospital service
from 3,000 to 1,500. In all the reduction
In commissioned ofllcers on the staff num
bered 331.
After completing the twelfth section ot
tlio bill the committee rose , and at 5:55 : p.
m. the house adjourned until 11 o'clock to
morrow.
IXDIAN HIM , AXD PEACE TREATY.
Mr. Carter Sound * n Warning to III *
In Semite.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. An effort on the
part of Mr. Allison tn obtain consideration
In tbo senate today for the Indian appro
priation bill precipitated a running de
bate which occupied all the time until the
senate , at 2 o'clock , went into executive
session on the peace treaty.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas. leading the op
ponents of the treaty , opened the debate by
Insisting that time should be taken for the
discussion of pending resolutions having a
collateral bearing upon tbe treaty before
the treaty itself was disposed of. and Mr.
Bacon's resolutions finally were laid before
the senate. After some parliamentary spar
ring , the resolutions were made tbe text of
a strong speech by Mr. Carter of Montana.
Ordinarily calm and deliberate in his ut
terances. Mr. Carter today spoke with im
passioned earnestness , warning his colleagues
that a favorable vote on ny of the pend
ing resolutions would be a vote of lack o
confidence inthe American people. He dn-
clared that the adoption of the resolutions
would be a pledge to those who were defy
ing the authority of this country in the
Philippines , and that when the treaty had
been ratified this country would Inquire who
in those Islands were in rebellion against our
authority and , if necessary to maintain our
authority , wo would whip them to death.
A bill was passed changing the place ot
meeting of the United States court for the
southern district of Mississippi from Mis
sissippi City to Blloxl.
Mr. Allison of Iowa called up the pend
ing Indian appropriation bill and asked the
senate to proceed to its consideration.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas said that when he
and other senators agreed to vote next
Monday on the peace treaty it was their
understanding nn opportunity would be af
forded to vote first upon certain pending
resolutions which are pertinent to the main
question.
Mr. Allison replied that he had no de
sire to Interfere with any matters pertain
ing to the treaty , but in the absence of
formal notice of any senator to speak to
day , he thought it an opportune time to
tiiko up the Indian bill.
Mr. Jones said there was a desire that
the resolutions bo passed upon by the sen
ate before the treaty was voted upon. Per
sonally , he was ready to vote today.
Mr. Bacon , who was anxious to obtain ac
tion upon his resolutions , said that unless
action should bo taken before tbo vote upon
the treaty was taken , ail of the cognate
resolutions would bo displaced and rendered
nil.
Again Mr. Jones urged that a vote be
taken at once.
Mr. Allison replied that Mr. Jones knew
no vote was possible today , but that if It
waa the wleh of the senate to take up the
13resolution be bad no objection.
At the request of Mr. Dacon. the resolu
tton was then laid before the senate. In
stantly Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire en
tered a motion to refer the resolutions to
the committee on foreign relations.
Mr. Ilacon thought this scarcely fair , as
the motion of Mr. Chandler , he said , meant
indisputably that the resolutions should die.
Mr. Dacon paid hU desire was to obtain
early action upon the resolutions In order
that tbo house might also have an oppor
tunity to pase upon them before the expira
tion of the present congress by limitation.
Mr. Carter of Montana , discussing not only l
the resolutions offered by Mr. Bacon , but
the situation as It was presented to the Ben-
ate , declared that no public Interest and
no sound public policy required a vote upon
the resolutions at this cession of concress.
A favorable vote upon any of the pending
resolutions , before the conclusion ot tha
uork upon the treaty of peace , would be
a. lack of confidence In the American people.
That , he thought , was a prrpnateroiift propo
sition , The treaty now under consideration
did not render it either deslrnblo or proper
that this congrrns should pass upon the
future ) of the Philippine Islands. He de
clared that there was no disposition on any
land to dispose of the Philippines In any
other war than the enlightened judgment
and acute Intelligence of tbo American people
ple Miould dictate. So far as ho was pcr-
onallv concerned. Mr. Carter said , he was
not disposed to mortgage the future to at-
empt to embarrass In any manner the tiex :
or any future congress. The treaty did not
tind congress to do anything that was not
u consonance with the enlightened sense of
he American people.
"For what purpose , therefore. " be asked ,
'do the gentlemen who are urging the adop
tion of these resolutions ! seek to bind the
action of the next congress ? "
He pointed out that our information con
cerning the Philippines and Its inhabitants
was very meascr and he desired ample time
o consider with prudence what was best to
do with tbe newly-acquired territory before
definite action was taken.
Mr , Mason Inquired whether , by the terms
of the treaty , the United States did not
give to Spain certain trade rights In the
Philippines.
Mr. Carter replied that It did and that , it
the sovereignty ot the Islands were trans
ferred by this country to any other nation
It would be subject to those treaty obliga
tions.
"Then we do take the sovereignty of the
stands ? " Inquired Mr. Mason.
Mr. Carter replied that in the very nature
of things the sovereignty ot the islands so
far as it was In the possession ot Spain
passed by the treaty to the United States.
Continuing his discussion of tbe pending
resolutions , Mr. Carter said the adoption of
.htm would be a voluntary tying of the
bauds of congress and of the administration.
Mr. Teller Inquired if there was anything
u the resolutions to prevent the govern
ment from exercising at least temporary
sovereignty In the islands , with the inten
tion , subsequently , of allowing them self-
government. He believed that , of course ,
It would bo necessary for the United States
: o exercise sume sort of control over the
islands , at least for a time.
Mr. Teller then offered an amendment to
the resolutions covering his point and Mr.
Bacon accepted It.
Resuming , Mr. Carter said that senators
were belittling tbe dignity end destroying
the confidence reposed In this country by
toreign nations by endeavoring to mortgage
the future policy of the government and
voting a lack of confidence in the nation by
even attempting to adopt such resolutions
as were pending.
Ho declared that the passage of such acts
was a declaration that the people had no
confidence In those who were to be in a po
sition to make a disposition ot tbo Islands
In accordance with the terms of the treaty.
U amounts to a pledge to ourselves that we
did not propose to do what we did not want
to do. It would have been Just and proper ,
ho said , for the Qrct congress to attempt
to bind congress for 100 years as for this
congress to attempt to bind the action in a
matter of thlu kind of any future congress.
"The adoption of these- resolutions , " ho
declared , "would be u pledge to those who
are defying the authority of the. United
States government in the Philippine islands.
As a nation , we cannot afford to have It
understood that the United States army was
expelled from those Islands. Some ot the
Philippine insurrectionists seem to have
been imported by way of the : Hong Kong
Philippine junta Into this country. I would
not vote for such a petty , trifling promise ,
even it it were to take the entire army of
the United States to chow the aggregation
of Malays , Mabommedans and Filipinos who
doubt our Authority that we would not
budge ono Inch. "
Mr. Carter thought this country needed a
change in its foreign policy and thought our
trade would not amount to much abroad
until it is once thoroughly understood that t
an American citizen would be protected in
all his rights in any part ot the world. He
thought it a shame on the United States
government that many of its citizens , seek
ing protection , passed by the American con
sulates and entered those of Great Britain
and France.
Replying to a question by Mr. Mason , Mr.
Carter said that the power of the United
States was tbe only authority today recog
nized in the Philippines. "Being the only
responsible government there , " said he , "the
safety of every citizen on those Islands , be
he German , English or what not , rests upon
us. We cannot with propriety say to the
rebel forces on those Islands : 'We will give
you everything we have fought for if you
will only permit us to ratify the treaty of
peace with Spain. '
"We will inquire , when this treaty shall
have been ratified , who on those islands Is
in rebellion against our government. If they
do not recognize the rights and authority
we shall exercise there we will whip them
to death. The soldiers of the United States
will not withdraw from those Islands until
a proper and stable government shall have
been established there. "
The senate then , at 2 o'clock , on motion
of Mr. Davis , went into executive session ,
and at 5:40 : p. m. adjourned.
SENATE GETS COHHESPONDENCE.
Many Communication * Between Prenl-
dent nud Peace CorumUiiluiivr * .
.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 30. The president
today sent to the senate the correspondence
on file in the State department bearing upon
the peace treaty and It was read In today's
executive session. The correspondence was
sent in response to the resolution intro
duced by Senator Hoar and includes most
ot the letters and cablegrams from the com
mlfisioners to the president and from the
president to the commissioners in the way
of instructions in return. The documents
are numerous , as there were telegrams ,
letters and reports for almost every day
the commissioners were in Paris.
Ono ot the first cablegrams from the presi
dent instructed them to demand the cession
of Luzon Island only of tbe Philippines , and
ho told them that full sovereignty should
come with it. The reading of tbo corre
spondence received the closest attention
from senators.
In submitting the papers the president
sent a brief message , saying that ho trans
mitted them in accordance with the reso
lution. The reading consumed the entire
executive session lasting from 2 to 5:30 : , ex
cepting a few minutes at the close. Much
of the matter covered the same ground as
that already published , but It was presented
In the form In which tbe proceedings were
outlined from day to day In the cable corre
spondence between Secretary Day , as the
president's representative on one hand , and
Secretary Day , as the representative of Uie
American commissioners on the other hand.
The principal interest among tbe senators
attached to the president's instructions to
Insist upon the cession of the island ot
Luzon and after that In the decision to
take the entire group of Islands. The lat
ter development appeared from the corre
spondence to be a growth , and tbe sugges
tion was made by the commissioners to tbo
president as tbe result of occurrences at
Paris after the arrival there of the coin-
mlssloners
In nU dispatch concerning Luzon , ho said
there was but one alternative : "Tbo United
States must either take the island and as
sume sovereignty or return it to Spain. " or
the two courses he preferred the former.
Spain was from the first unwilling to cede
any of tbo Philippines and It made especial
objection to letting go ot Luzon alone. The
commissioners , -with the exception of Senator -
ator Gray , urged that to take Luzon and
leave the other Islands ot the archipelago
In the hands of the Spaniards would be
i to invite Innumerable complications with
other nations nit' rupeclolly wltli Europe
and Spain.
Much stress was laid upon the probability
of future trouble with Spain. With Luzon
under American administration there would
soon bo such t ! vast Improvement , they
wrote , that the other Islanders would noon
grow more and moro rebellious nnd with
Spain's oppressive methods of government
ne would Boon again find that we had an
other Cuba nt our door. Furthermore ,
there would ho constant 11 iDustcrlns and wo
should find ourselves spending millions to
preserve n state of neutrality just as we did
In the case of Cuba prior to our declara
tion of war on account of that Uland.
General Mcrrltt's testimony on this point
was cited and was made the reason for
much of the argument In favor of taking
the entire group , The president docs nol
appear to have at any time given explicit
instructions to consummate the bargain bv
taking all the Philippines , but rather after
hearing a full explanation , to have leti
Uh matter to the discretion of the com
missioners.
The entire controversy was practically
over the Philippines and the question of
assuming responsibility for the payment of
the Spanish bonds for which the Cuban
revenues were pledged.
The Spaniards from the first insisted upon
an indemnity for the Philippines nnd the
correspondence shows that after the prop
osition to pay $20,000,000 waa made tbe ne
gotiations proceeded much moro smoothly
and were soon brought to a close. Tilt-
American commissioners appear to have
been of one mind as to the wisdom of tak
ing over all the Philippines with the ex
ception of Senator Gray , who , notwithstand
! ing he signed the treaty , held out to the
lost : against the policy ot acquiring these
Islands. In ono notable dispatch he pleaded
zealously against tlio policy as unpatriotic ,
unamcrlcan nnd inconsistent with probity
and good statesmanship.
After a brief debate the senate refused
to print the correspondence1.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 30. A called meet
ing of the American Newspaper Publishers'
association was held hero today with a view
to directing the attention of the American
joint high commission to the current need
that a policy s'hall ' bo adopted which shall
protect American forests , by faecuring in the
tioaty now in couiso of preparation between
the United States and Canada a revocation
of tie present duty on print paper and pulp
from Canada.
C. W. Knapp was elected chairman and
William C. Bryan of the Brooklyn Times
secretary of the meeting. After a brief and
Informal discussion the following statement
ot the views of the American Publishers * '
assoslatlon was published , ordered printed
and prebcn'ted to the members of the com
mittee and representatives and senators In
congress :
The delegated representatives of a large
number of newspapers , In mooting assem
bled at Washington , D. C. , January 30 , re
spectfully submit to the president atid to
tlho American commissioners that the honest
Intentions which originally induced the cs
tabliBhuient of the tariff duty on paper mid
pulp have been perverted to further the pur
poses of a recently formed corporation , the
International Paper company , and that every
newspaper publication in tno country cast
of the Rocky Mountains has been placed at
< the > mercy of that corporation.
Within the last week wo uro advised that ,
'the ' International Paper company has ac
quired fourteen additional mills , represent
ing the plants of thrco large concerns , ana
that it 1 < negotiating for three other proper
ties , which represent all ofthe output from
Independent mills In. the territory east ot
Michigan. In view of the fact that the In
ternational Papier'company is selling Its sur
plus paper in lingland , Australia and Japan ,
successfully competing with Canadian , Ger
man and Swedish manufacturers , and in
view of the Important point that the In-
ternatloual Paper company Is protected by
reason of its proximity .to its customers to
the extent of on average of $1.CO per ton ,
and by reason of Us ability to obtain cheapei
and better supplea of c il and chemicals wo
fall to see the occaslc/n for giving sanction
to its abuse of governmental protection.
Not cno of the mills in the combination
pCBsosoed all the six essentials of the cheap
est and. most essential manufacturers ,
namely , wood , cheap and ample water power ,
cJheap raitos to market , modern machinery ,
wholesale production and concentration nt
ono place under one supervision. In some
cases ithe organizers of the International
Paper company ga\e securities to mill own-
CM , representing five times the actual In
vestment In the mills and In gathering to
gether this assortment of mills 'the ' paper
company also acquires every available
spruce tract where cheap timber could be
hod and every largo water power , with ono
exception , whore HubsUintinl competition
might otherwise bo established. This object
was easily attained because the spruce snip-
ply is being exhausted at the rate of 1,700 )
square nillas par cr.tinm.
The state of New York has set aside a
park of 4,000 square miles of spruce tor
rltory nnd etecreed that no 'timber ' thereon
shall ever bo cut , in order that Uie state
might guard the water supply ami avert
disastrous floods and protect agriculture
and manufacture.
Vermont's spruce forests are barely equal
to its home demands. New Hampshire
commissioners have issued solemn warning
that the state's forest rnsourcee , at tbo
present rate of cutting , will be exhausted
in eight years. All the timber to-.vnshlps
of Maine that are accessible to the largo
rivers have been denuded.
Conditions have radically changed i.lnco
the early settlers cleared away the virgin ,
forests. Millions of population must now
be considered and climate , health , wnter
supplies and kindred mutters present new
problems for governmental action In reg
ulating the stripping of forests and in pre
venting the annual loss of moro than $20-
000.000 through forest fires.
That machinery of the government which
imposes a. prohibitory duty on print paper
is nlno placing a premium upcti the cx-
hnuBtlon of our spruce forests and M add
ing to the destruction wrought by forest t
fires and vandal methods of timber cut
ting.No
No suoctesful competition with the Inter
national Paper company Is possible In the
United States under existing conditions.
Capital that may seek to develop new en
terprises fr the manufacture of newspaper
paper Is barred by the trust's acquirement
of all the possible facilities of paper pro
duction. A tax on newspapers operates In-
dlroctly as did the stump tax of Europe
to suppress newspapers. It Is a tax ot $ i'-
000,000 per annum on intelligence ; a tax
on popular education and on political knowl
edge.
Wo therefore urge that advantage betaken
taken of Me opportunity offered by the
Canadian treaty negotiation to place pulp
and paper In the free list and thereby glvo
the only strong nnd permanent assurance of
protection from this combination.
