orders signed by Governor Taylor until he
knew for certain who wan the actual gov
ernor of Kentucky. He had asked an opinion
from the attorney of the bank , 'ho said , and
when It was resolved would act accordingly.
He declared thnt he would take no chances
of paying out money until he was satisfied j
that ho was acting under proper authority , t
The attitude of the bank toward the Taylor - j
lor vouchers created u decidedly heal lab ]
sentiment on the part of grocers who
have been furnishing supplies to the joldlors
nnd tonight they refused to honor nny orders
unless thpy were nccompnnlcd by cash. , When
this was reported to Adjutant General Col
lier he at once furnished the necessary
money. At tint name time announced
that before the trouble he had foreseen the i
possible attitude of the bank and the grocers [
and had secured control of the state iftllltary
appropriation. Ho hnd money enough , he i
snld , to pay for everything. The grocers at j
once altered their' opinion of the financial , ]

The Becond Instance promised for n tlmo !
to hnve serious consequences and trouble j
may yet arise from It. Governor Taylor Is- j
piled a pardon to Douglas Hayes , n convict I
In the Frankfort penitentiary , who Is son-Ins
n five years' term for manslaughter , bavins
been sentcnced ln March , , 1899. When tha
pardon was sent to Warden Lilian ! he de
cided ho qould > not turn the man loose until
ho was satisfied regarding the legal stntus ot
the governorship. He made no reply to
Governor Taylor , but declined to honor the
pardon and Informed the penitentiary com
missioners of his notion. They agreed with
the position taken by the warden and the
man WHR held.
llPIHiblli-niiH Arc Inilligiiiitit.
The action of Lilianwho ] IB an ardent
supporter of Goebcl , aroused Intense Indigna
tion among the republicans nnd it was de
clared that a detachment of soldiers would
bo sent to the penitentiary to take the man
away by force If Warden Llllnrd persisted' In
hla'rqtusal , to release Hayes. No such talk ,
however , came trom the offlco of Governor
Taylor or that of Adjutant General Collier.
This talk1 Was iiturally resented by > ho
democrat's and LlIlaTii 'received open otyors
of aid In case ho should decide to eugare In
a battle with the soldiers over their right t-J
enter the hall and take Hayes out. When ,
this afternoon , his oinco was vlbltcd the
warden was engaged In conversation o\er
the telephone. lie was giving the man at
the other end of the wire Information re
garding the number ot men he could provlda
to resist a possible attack. Ho rung oft as
Boveral visitors entered his ofllco and discon
tinued the conversation , declining to dis
close the Identity ot the man at the other
end ot the wire , who was evidently asking
him U ho desired assistance.
"I can do nothing else than hold the man , "
aid the warden. "Tho situation Is known
to everybody and I cannot assume the re
sponsibility of releasing men on the order
of Taylor when the legislature has declared
specifically that Gopbel IB the governor ot
the state. Had the pardon been received
yesterday I would have let the man go and
been glad to do so. I wish to keep no man
In this place , but I cannot release convicts
on .the Order of n man who , It has been de
clared by the law-making power of the elate ,
has no right to Issue such orders. "

When nsked If ho Intended to offer reslst-
npco to n detachment of troops if one should
bo' ' sent to relensb Hayes , the warden re-
pi ltd :
"Oh , no ! It would not do for mo to at
tempt nny such thing as that. I hnvo four
teen guards only nnd they could not do much
against soldiers. "
When usked If ho did not know whore he
could obtain plenty of help It he needed It ,
the warden , mild :
{ 'When the soldiers comn up here and de
mand the keys for thu purpose of taking out
Hayes , I think they are likely to gut thorn.
If convicts are taken out of hero In that
manner , the responsibility will rest on the
men who take him away nnd not upon me. "

erally understood thnt admission would bo
refuted , but the democrats determined to
demand ncccsH to the building as a matter
of form and to put the republicans upon
record.
At the appointed time the members fell
Into line nnd In columns of twos , headed by
the tail form of Speaker Trimble , the march
wns taken up toward the state house
grounds. On Voth etdca nnd In the rear
come n large Crowd. As Speaker Trimble
approached the gate , which was guarded by
two Eentrlcs , the soldiers stepped back , low
ered their bayonets and allowed the speaker
to pass through.
"Aro you a member of the legislature , "
asked one ot the sentries.
"I nm , " replied the speaker , as ho snrted :
up1 the bflck-walk toward the capllol.
The samo. question was put to the other
members as they approached , and when It
came the turn of the 'crowd the sentries
fired the same query at "every bunch and
every bunch answered in chorus , "I am. "
The legislature numbered 500 by the tlmo
the speakcF was at the ca'plfol steps.
Upon the landing at 'the ' top of the steps
a long line of soldiers was dinwn up , und r
the command of Captain Horace Cochran.
Bayonets were fixed , the men stood firmly
and It was evident to Mr. . Trimble that the
moment for negotiations had arrived. Approaching
preaching 'tub ' captain ho cald :
"Wo demand admission to the hall. Wo
nre members of the legislature nnd desire
to hold u session. "
Clerks Leigh of the house nnd Orsha of
the scnnto also demanded that they be al
lowed to enter.

"We have orders to admit nobody , " re
plied Captain Cochran.
"We have a right to enter this hull , "
said the speaker , "and wo demand that we
be allowed to do so in order that we may
attend to the business cf the state. "
"I have orders to admit nobody and you
cannot go In , " was the reply.
The , spoakcr turned arquod and. standing

meet subject to my call. "
Down the steps went the speaker and be-
iilnd him followed the crowd. There WPS no
sign of disturbance throughout the Incident ,
everything being conducted In an orderly
and dignified manner by the legislators. Th3
mpromptu members were not so mindful of
: he dignity ot their high calling and were
Inclined to make facetious remarks at the
soldiers.
There is very little heard now about Lon
don nnd there eeemn to he a general feeling
among the democrats and republicans allku
that the next regular meeting of the legisla
ture will be held ip ' the capltol building.
There has been no announcement of any in-
Icntlon on the part of Governor Taylor , but
It ueems to have become n tacit belief that
he will rescind his action of yesterday before
he tlmo set for the meeting at London.
Anonymous letters threatening assasslna-
lon are going through the malls In consider
able numbers. They have been received by
the democratic attorneys , by the republican
[ ittorueys and by every judge of the court of
appeals. They are practically cf one nature ,
nformlng the recipient that unless he mends
the error ot his political ways ho will be
shot down. Occasionally somebody threatens
to Blab , but thu general trend of assassina
tion sentiment s'eema to run toward gun
powder. Former Governor Dradloy's house
Is guarded night nnd day by soldiers and
even In the daytime the Inside blinds on the

from being able to fire through the windows

WASHINGTON , Kcb. 1. No call for
federal ttoop.q hns ytfl been received frjm '
Kentucky. Moreover , the odlclnls of UIB j
\Vni- department see no reason to expect an !
Application nt this time certainly and proli- I
ably not nt all. The odlrlal vlow Is that the ,
present contest In Kentucky Is purely a state
matter , and tip to this moment It has pre
sented no features tint would warrant the
InlcrvRiiUon of the United States govern
ment. The exact functions of the United
Statca nrmy when ncllni ; within a state have
been most carefully defined nnd set out In
'
general order No. 20 , promulgated July 24 ,
IS'JI.
IS'JI.Under
Under the terms of tha ! order the govern *
niont of the United States can of Its own i
volition ttso the federal troops within n slaty I
'
only when "Insurrection , domestic Uo.cnce ,
unlawful combinations or conspiracies In nny
otnto RO obstruuts or hinders the execution
of the lawn thereof nnd of the United States
as to deprive nny portion or class or the people -
plo of such state of any of the rights , privi
leges or Immunities , or protection , named In
the constitution , and secured by the la\va for
the protection of such rights , privileges or
Immunities , nnd the constituted authorities
of such Htatc are unable to ptotcct or from
any cauao fall In or refuse protection of the
icople In such rights. "
It docs not appear to the ofllclaU here that
he conditions described In this statute now
xlst In Kentucky.
Another ease In which th ? United State *
roops might be employed is set out In sec-
Ion No. 5297 , Ucvlncd Statutes , authorizing
lie president to employ trocrs In casof an
nsurrccllon in any stntc against the govcrn-
icnt thereof "on application ot the leglBla-
ure of'such state or ot the executive
hereof , when the legislature cannot be con-
ened. "
Itontx ivlth the I'rcnlilcnt.
It will be noticed In the cases above cited
n which troops may be employed the presl-
cnt Is allowed to cxcrclso his discretion In
meeting thu request ; It Is not mandatory
pen him to accede to It. Were the ! not the
ase , upon the president after all might bj
) laccd the responsibility for a decision be-
wccn the rival claimant ! * for the Kentucky
overnorsulp. Assuming that the legislature
las been legally adjourned by Governor Tny-
or and thnt It cannot be reconvened before
He dutc specified In his proclamation , cither
f the persons claiming to be governor of
Centucky might call upon thn president for
roops and thus oblige him to decide the i -
ue , had he not the rcnsrved right to decline
0 meet cither request. A like situation
might arise should two legislatures bo or-
-anlzcd , a contingency which IB looked upon
s extremely probable by the olllclals here.
So It may be stated that the position of the
dmlnlstratlon In its decision to refrain from
ntcrventlon in Kentucky lemalnH unshaken
> y any of the events of the last twenty-four
lours , and In all likelihood ths only hap-
icnlng which could induce the ordering ot
roops Into the state would bo an assault
upon United States property and courts or
malls , and interstate commerce , and even In
nth case , It Is privately declared on the
ilghest military authority , that the troops
vould not be used to further any interests in
he state or to mcddlo in Its politics or for
my other purpose than the defense of the
Jrfltcd States' interests. . . . - -

WASHINGTON , Feb. 1. President Mc-
Clnley hns received n long message from
Governor W. S. Taylor of Kentucky , dated
oday. at Frankfort.
Governor Taylor recites at length the sit
uation in Kentucky ; declared that he con-
Iders himself the legally-elected executive
of the state and asserts tli.it the condition
of affairs nt the present time IH most crlt-
cal.
cal.Ho
Ho says that a riot may occur at any tlnle
vhlch will cause much bloodshed. Governor
Taylcr says thnt he is doubtful of his power
o control the situation nnd appeals to thu
iresldent to end the matter and secure peace
n the atate by recognizing him as the gov
ernor of Kentucky.
The appeal Is very earnest and the aid ot
ho administration i urgently requested.
\u Autloii ht WiiHlilnuton.
Governor Taylor's communication to
President McKlnley is i the nature of a
ncmorial. It goes nt great length Into the
situation In Kentucky , making an explana
tion of the conditions' there. Whllo definite
and absolute Information on this point Islet
lot obtainable there Is reason to believe
that a specific request for the Immediate
presence of federal troops is not made.
No action of nny kind has been taken on
Governor Taylor's memorial and It can be
positively stated that up to midnight no
.leclu'on whatever with reference to it bad
lccu rouched. Tomorrow ia the regular day
'or cabinet meetings nnd Fridny'B session
will bo very opportune for n careful con
sideration by the president nnd all his ad
visers for the course for the ndmlnistratlon
o take. No conclusion will be reached
save with great deliberation and after the
most caieful discussion of the Kentucky Blt-
untlon in nil HH aspects as it affects the
federal government.
The picsldont will go very slow in the
matter In the hope thai events In the etato
will HO sbnpo themselves an to relieve the
administration of the noccKalty of any ac
tion. At the same time there are contin
gencies which may practically compel the
president to move. If such contingencies
can bo averted they will he.
Look for IVnecfnl Solution ,
The tcnsltn in Kentucky Is intense and
Its very Intensity Is felt hero to be likely
to lend to conic peaceful solution of the
question. Action by the federal government
at tills time , It Is ( car0.1 , might further roil
rather than smooth the r.iigry passions that
have prevented an adjustment no far. To
day the Hrst attempt W.IB nmdo to aeouro
a peaceful : \ay cut of the muddle. This at
tempt mot fniluro in an absolute * refusal 0:1 :
the part of the democratic mnnaguns to let
the United States supreme court decide the
case.
The ppbitlcn , hov/cvor , Is that affairs alons

bo abandoned bocauto < f the Impossible

president Is In communication with Gov
ernor Taylor and It Ij pobslblo thai some
statement leqardlng their correspondence
may bo inado pnbllo later. Tills will de
pend largely t-a wheiK-r such a statement
would tend 111 Prmldciu McKlnley's opinion
to allay excitement. At pretent no Informa

LAWYERS CONFER ABOUT IT
I'ropoMlllon i.oolilnn to nn Ainli-ulile
Adjustment COIIII-H from Itcpnli-
1 lunnutliIn AceomiillNlioil.
FRANKFORT Ky. , Feb. 1. For the first
tlmo since ithe shooting of Goabel there were
today signs ot a peaceful settlement. The
eigns were few and small and they have
disappeared , but the hole into which they
were withdrawn has been left open and
there Is a chance thnt they may reappear.
The original proposition looking toward an
amicable adjustment came from the repub
lican side just before noon , when T. L.
ISdclc'h of Frankfort , one of Governor Tay
lor's attorneys , appeared nt thp Capital
hotel to hold a/conference with Judge 1'ryor ,
Lewis 'McQuoVnn and William Scott , the
legal advisers of the democracy. After a
short tnlknRdclehv declared that Governor
Taylor and 'theHopubllcan party were anx
ious to-nvoldtaiu-thlng cthat might possibly
lead lo serious trouble , as the present con
ditions mfgbt "do if nothing wore done to
prevent it. ' He- > was assured by the demo
cratic attorneys that they were as anxious
to nave nny clash between the parties as ths
republicans could be.
Edelen then proposed to submit the case
of the rival Governors to the Kentucky
court of appeals , which , ho declared , judg
ing by the action of Judge Hazclrlgg in
swearing In Gbvornor Goebel , would prob
ably decide against Governor Taylor. Ho
( hen wanted the right to submit the matter
to the United Stales supreme court for final
settlement. The talk was informal , Edeleu
merely stating jits position that the oppos
ing attorneys might take the matter under
advisement. The lawyers separated with
an agreement t > meet again at 2 o'clock In
the afternoon. When they met the Becond
time Kdeleu again submitted his proposi
tion and received the reply that the at
torneys had decided to have the matter
adjudicated In the state courts. To this Mr.
Edolen objected , saying ho wished the final
settlement made In the supreme court nt
Washington. Mr. Edelen asked for details
regarding the Boating of Governor Goobel
by the joint session last night.
As it has been repeatedly announced that
the republicans would claim that the seating
of n governor by Joint ballot is contrary to
the Goebel election law of Kentucky , which
provides , the republicans assert , that the
vote shall be taken separately , the demo
crats declined to say anything about the
matter. They told Edelen that the proceed
ings of the session were written in the
journal of legislative proceedings nnd that
he would thcro nnd all the Information
which It wa possible to give him.
Mr. McQuowan urged the republicans to
concede the election nnd seating of Governor
Goebel , which Edolen declined to entertain.
Hoth sides were nt the end of their respec-
tlvo ropes. Nothing morn could bo said on
cither sldp nnd the lawyers separated. Aa
they left the room Edelen Intimated that It
was possible that he might bo nble fo submit
another proposition at somojator time. Ho
WHS given to understand that ho would bo
mot hnlf way nnd the conference was at an
end.

WASHINGTON , Fpb. 1. Hcprcscntntlvo
Jonrph Slbley ot Pennsylvania , who attained
prent piomlnenee In the Fifty-fourth con
gress by his earnest championship of free
silver , assailed his demozrntlc colleagues to
day for thrlr opposition to expansion In a
sppcch that made- the floor nnd galleries
roar.
Slbley has recanted his views on free sil
ver and IH now generally out of line with his
colleagues on the democratic side , lie In-
elated today that expansion was an original
democratic doctrine promulgated by Jeffer
son and adhered to by Muilson , Jackson ,
Tyler , I'olk and Huchannn. In eloquent
language ho pictured the destiny of the
United States carrying the nrttt of peace and
the story of the cross lo the remotest corners
of the globe.
Slbley received an Imprenslvo demonstra
tion when he closed. The remainder of the
debate was uninteresting. U touched the
questions of mediation In the Transvaal war ,
lynchlngs In the south and the Jury law In
Hawaii. Not much piogress was made with
the Indian bill , which wns under considera
tion.
Slbley In his speech criticised his follow
democrat for opposing the annexation ot
the Philippines. Ho had , ho said , heard no
argument agnlnst terrltorlnl enlnrgment
which wns not urged against the annexation
of Louisiana nnd Texas.
CiK-Iiriin : IH Inti-rroHiltor.
"Is there nny parallel , " asked Cochrnu ot
Missouri , "between the territory In the
Louisiana purchase , then practically without
population , nnd the Philippines ? "
"Nothing has been said about the Philip
pines , " replied Slbley , "which was not aald
about the territory now Missouri. You in
Missouri were elapsed as barbarians. "
"Uul nro the Philippines , with n population
denser than Iowa , Missouri , Knnaas and Ne-
brnska , available for occupation ? " nslcod
Cochrnn.
"I think they nrc. When Jefferson nego-
tlntcd the purchase of Louisiana ho was the
target of vituperation , ridicule nnd reproach.
From New England came such epithets as
'Jncobln , ' 'Imperialist , ' 'pervcrier of the csn-
stitutlon. ' Yet all admit now that Jefferson
acted wisely. "
"Do you believe the people in the Philip
pines nro susceptible of the civilization of
the inhabitants of the Louisiana purchase ? "
"I am not placing limitations on the
powers of almighty God , " answered Slbl y ,
amid a round of republican applause.
Proceeding , Slbley painted out that modern
methods hnd brought the Philippines nearer
than the Louisiana purchase or Texas when
they were annexed.
In reply to Cochran's taunt that civiliza
tion wns being shot Into the Filipinos , Slb-
ley said thnt the history of civilization had
been traced in human b'.coj. Wendell Phillips
had said that every achievement of bunion
justice had gone from rack to rack and
scaffold to Ecnflold.
"Shall wo hold Puerto Ulco nnd the Phil
ippine nrchlpclago ? " asked Slbley. "Cvery
foot. No nation on earth has a higher right
ot title to n rod of soil. We hold by the
double titlr of purchase- - and of conquest
and my belief Is that where once the-shadow
of our banner has fallen there will survive
n race ot free mun , and I would hold Cuba
until stability , order , good government and
the protection of life and property were as-
htired.
Ill Kvliopn I'l-enlileiit'K Cillery.
"I am going to re-echo the president's
query : 'Who will haul down the flag ? ' Who
planted It there ? What cabinet council ,
what warrior , what statesman , uhat senator
or representative , what body of men formed
any plan of conquest ? ' The cries of suffer
ing humanity rang In our ears and
wo stopped our cars. The groans
were heard , but we answered not. We saw
them stripped and wounded on our way to
Jericho and like the priest and the Levite
we passed by on the other cide. Not un
heard , those cries and groans nt the throne
ot the Almighty , who , to awaken us from
apathy , our almost criminal indifference ,
permitted the engines of His wrath to hurl
their thunderbolts under the bows of the
Maine , lying peacefully nt anchor In Havana
harbor. Nor keenest-sighted statesmen ,
nor most daring warrior had dreamed often
of the possibility of great gain , growth or
greatness to como to us as a nation from
that war of which the blowing up ot the
Maine was the first declaration. God rind
the valor of American arms gave us that
territory , not because we are n nation al
together free , altogether pure , altogether
blameless , but because , working through
Him as an Instrumentality , He hns given It
to ttho boldest , the freest , the most prp-
grcsslvc , the most enlightened and the most
Christian nation of the present age. " ( Ap
plause. )
Slblo/ said ho believed that the United
States were destined to carry the arts of
peace and the story of the cross to the re
motest corners of the globe. Ho appealed
to the democratic side to come back to tbo
teachlngn of the democratic fathers. Ex
pansion had been fathered nnd advocated by
Jefferson , Jnckson , Polk nnd Huchanan.
"Only cowards oppo.io It , " Huchanan said ,
"and ho wao the last democratic president wo
have had. " ( Laughter. )
t'uiinl Should III * Unlit ,
The Nicaragua canal should be built , he
said , nnd the subsidy bill to encouruge
American shipping passed. China w.-ib lo
ho dismembered. Wo must lench out nnd
get our share of Its commerce.
"If this administration , " ho wont on ,
"shall surrender the Philippines , the his
torian of the future who pxtols Jefferson ,
Madison , Tjler nnd I'olk will write down
MeKlnloj's notion nu the most pusillanimous
on iccird. But this nation will not uurrnn-
dcr. Ila critics will bo forgotten , Kvery
advance to higher and nobler forms ot life
has been opposed by borne old conservative
moBsback who prated of the good old days
when his grandfather swung by his tall In
the forest primeval. "
.Slbley conluded as follows :
'Wr. Chairman , every dictate of rearon
and of prudence , pvcry dictate of business
sense and of commercial advantage , every
prompting of humanity and every obligation
of plighted fraternity unite In the demand
that we go forward. ( Applause. ) Wo have
n mission to fulfill , n destiny to accomplish ,
* n example to ho afforded to thp nations
how they may Justly rule themselves , not
In license , but In liberty.
"Shall wo falter In our duty ? Shall wo
haul down that flag , whose waving stripes
bespeak the red of sacrifice and the white
of purity , and whoso sliver stars shining In
thu field of blue are an Inspiration ta all
that Is noble In llfo and beneficent In gov
ernment ? NO. let It float , and
be knit In

When Slbley concluded he received an
ovation such as ha * not been accorded any
speaker In the house IhU sp lon.
The debate then returned to the question
of lynchlngs In the Fouth.

WASHINGTON' , Feb. I. In the so.iaic
the resolution of Allen discharging the
finance commlttep from further considera
tion of lil * resolution calling tor Information
from the secretary of the treasury with ref
erence to his transaction with the National
City bank nnd thp Hanovnr National bank ot
New York was laid before the senate.
Allen averred that the rppllcs of the HJP-
rpinry of thp treasury hnd not be n sum-
eleni. Uo reviewed the reply of Secretary
Case to his resolution. He rend the now
famous letter addressed to Secretnry Oa- ? "
hy A. H. Hepburn , vice president of the Na
tional City bank. In which rnferpncp wns
made to the bank directors' part In the cam
paign nt isnc.
Allen mlmlttcd that no rpply wns.nan'p to
thnt later , but , he said , thnt Its object won
attained was evidenced by the f.irt that
when the letter was written the National
City bank hail on deposit less than $20,000
of government money , while less than n
month Inter the government doposilt In that
bank was nbollt S24.000.000.
HcfcrrliiK to further coirespomUnfi ; bo-
twecn Secretary Gngo and Mr. Stlllinnn , Mr.
Allen charged the latter with Inviting the
TrcaBtil-y department to give the country
the Impression that there was more money
In the banks of New York than there really
was. This ought , in his opinion , lo have
called forth n shaip rebuke ftom the Becre-
tary , hut the correspondence showed n lie.
Sarcastic comment wns made by Allen
upon thnt part of the correspondence which
related to the transaction of the govern
ment's business In the Philippine * through
the National City bank.
Ho was Interrupted by Carter , who cald
that about that time ho had been Inforniod
hy 'tho ' paymaster of the army thnt ho wns
wholly without banking IncllltlcB for the
payment of our trocps In the Philippines ,
except through London ,
"I would like lo .isk the senator. " In
quired Carter , "If ho thinks thereIs any
thing objectionable in an effort by the
government to try to pay Its soldiers In
the Philippines In American mot'uy through
an American bank , thus escaping the ruin-
oua UlscountH which we hnve to pay the
London bank ? "
Allen rcpllo.l that he did not cato
have his speech interrupted. Such ques
tions caused a departure that he did not
like.
Spooncr said : "It Is net n departure ftom
the truth , but simply a departure from jour
speech. "
"The senator from Nebraska , " interjected
Aldrich , "Is now showing that an American
bank v as trying to get the business done
by London banks and the treasury wns try
ing to give It. "
Allen declared ithat from nil this corre
spondence it was a logical deduction that
the transactions were conducted for politi
cal purposes.
"That is , " suggested Carter , "It Is a logi
cal deduction of the senator from Ne
braska. " ( Laughter. )
"You may undertake to bully this sub
ject down , " said Allen , with pome heat , "hut
you can't do it. Yen cannot laugh it down
and you will not be able le persuade Ihe
American people that 'thcro was net undue
Intimacy between the tic-usury and the Na
tional City bank. And the knowledge of
this fact hurts , too. "
"Without having concluded his remarks
Allen yielded the floor to Daniel of Vlrg.nla ,
who delivered nn extended , pcech on the
pending financial measure. He vigorously
opposed the proposition that the country
Bhould go to the gold Ftandnrd.
Daniel M. Ramsdell of Indiana and
Charles G. Dennett of New York wore
sworn In as scrgeant-at-arms and secretary
of the senate icspectlvely.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 1. ( Sp6clal Tele
gram. ) Congressman Stark Introduced n bill
today which , If It should become a law , will
create a homo guard whoso efficiency IB
excelled by no other nation. The bill ap
propriates $2,000,000 for tt rehabilitation of
the militia of the states. Thle money IB to
bo expended in the purchasp of arms , stoics ,
tents and for putting the guard on n footing
equal to that of the regular service. The
title to arms , quartermaster's stores nnd
cnrnp equipment remains In thc > United
Stated.
Ileforo the appropriation becomes available
the different states must show 100 mllltla
men for each eenntor and icpresontatlvo In
congressIn case thlB number is not
roaphed , the money thus appropriated would
bo converted back into the treasury. Ac
cording to a rough estimate a homo guard
of 125,000 would bo possible under the pro
visions of Stnrk's bill.
( Senator Tburston'B resolution , introduced
Homo tlmo ago , donating a condemned Span
ish cannon to the commandor-ln-chlof of the
Sons of Veterans , 'to bo made into medals ,
wan adversely reported from the committee
on military affairs cf thn senate today.
This was the result of a letter from fi cro-
tary of War Root , who took the ground tbat
the passage of such a resolution would BOt
a very bad precedent and In a nhont tlmo
nil cannon taken from the enemies of the
United States would 'be ' converted Into
medals for all sorts und conditions of to-
clotles , patriotic nnd otherwise.
There are a great many applications for
Spanish war pensions coming from Ne
braska , which Comuilsaloncr Evnna Is pushIng -
Ing ito conclusion ns rapidly as possible.
"Hut , " ho Bnld today , "iipplleantH for pen-
Blons should not grow Impatient at seeming
delay In Ihe pension office. Wo have al
ready filed In our offlco 27,000 Spanish war
claims and these , with pensions for civil war
veterans , keep our department humping.
