WASIIINOTTW, Jnn. 18. (Special Tele
gram.) Representative Stark recently re
ceived Inquiries from n number of Ills Ho
lirmlan constituents In Hutler county ask
Ins for their Hiatus hb citizens of tho
United Stntca, although horn of parents
who had novcr taken out tholr naturaliza
tion papers. Stark, who had In mind tho
caso of Thayer against IJoyd, decided to
look up tho matter. In view- of tho decision
In that case, which Is not entirely satis
fying to tho lawyers, as It adjudicated
pleading, and ho sought to find n caso
that adjudicated tho facts. This he says
ho has now found In tho case of tho United
States against Wong Kim Ark, reported In
169 United States, wherein It Is held: "A
child born In the United States of parents
of Chlneso descent who nro nt tho tlmo of
his birth subjects of tho i-mpcror of China,
but havo a permanent, domicile nnd resi
dence In tho United Stated, nnd nro not
employed In any diplomatic or official ca
pacity under tho emperor of China, becomes
nt thn tlmo of IiIh birth n clltzrn of tho
United States by vlrtuo of tho first clnimo
of tho fourteenth nmondment of tho con
stitution that nil persons born or natural
ized in tho United Statea and subject to
tho Jurisdiction thereof nro citizens of tho
United Stales nild of tho stnto wherein they
reside."
To this opinion Chief Justice Fuller nnd
Harlan dissented. Congressman Stark Bald
that this ruling would, when known In
his community, rnlso many Intcreutlng
questions, as tho laws of 'descent wcro
predicated In this country upon tho right
of Inheritance, and It might make con
nldcrablo dlltcronco to thoso who had re
frained from being naturalized for tho
reason that they wore fenrful lest their
Inheritance might bo lost In so doing.
"My impression Is," Ha Id Congressman
Stark, "that tho foreign papers havo raised
tho question of citizenship, nnd lo settle
tho matter I havo been appealed to. This
decision of tho supremo court, which I
understand Is tho last decision made on
tho question of citizenship, is far-reaching,
nnd Is linportnnt ns having direct
bearing on our election laws, ns well ns
upon descent of property. Under tho
opinion of tho suprcmii court J. K. Doyd
1b eligible to tho presidency, ns I bcllcva
ho wns born In Ohio of parents who hnd
failed to nnturallzc, nnd his case Is there
fore on nil fours with the Chlneso case
nbovo quoted."

Indorsed tho hill In strong terms, stating
that undoubtedly water would be found In

Co in in e tit on Army Mill,
Tho pnago of tho army bill this evening
by tho senate now sends that measure to n
conference, as tho house, which passed tho
measure originally, will undoubtedly refuse
to concur In tho amendments tacked on to
tho bill by the upper branch. Speaking of
tho measure, which has finally been ac
cepted by the senate, n leading officer of
staff aaid: "Tho house bill was In accord
anco with tho known needs of each stalf
branch of the army. There Is no truth In tho
assertion that each chief of staff or do-
pnrtmcnt wishes to enlnrgo the personnel
of his corps or department. Ho simply hnu
asked for tools to work with and thus uvold
tho criticism which obtained nt tho out
break of the Spanish-American war. Thou
tho Idea prevailed that to put on a uniform
made a good paymaster, quartermaster or
commmlssary, but It did not. ns nil know
too well. The material wo had was good,
us good as could bo had, but lack of ex
perience brought trouble, nnd this wo ought
to profit by In the future. Tho bill ns
passed by tho house provided for n decent
administration, but thn bill which tho senate
passed today will lead to criticism of the
administrative branches of tho army be
causo of Its entire. Inadequacy of tho per
sonnel of tho work to bo accomplished, es
pecially In the Philippines. It Is hoped thu
differences between the two houses will be
adjusted In conference, so that tho pro
visions of the housn hill will be an nearly as
possible adopted, for tho house bill comes
nearer Bolvlng tho problem of tho future of
the army than tho sennto bill, which, It Is
believed by experts In several departments,
Is a mere makeshift nnd leaves the nrmy
handicapped for tho elllclent performonco
of Its duty."
Aiiii'iiilnien t for I'orl 'miiiiIiii,
Senator Thurston said that It was out of
tho question to tack on nn amendment to
the army bill providing for tho utilization of
old Fort Omaha ns a military school. Ho
has tho mntter in hand and had naked the
lenders about tho advisability of offering
an amendment, but they advised against the
mcasuro ns too likely to put tho bill In
Jeopardy, nnd ho, therefore, ncceptcd tho
Judgment of Chairman Ilawlcy and members
of tho commltteo on military affairs. Hu
said he saw no way nt this session to pass
n law erecting a school nt Fort Omnha, but
thought some future congress might take
caru of It.

construction of tho bankruptcy law and
much interest is manifested In tho pro

caso comes to tho supreme court from tho
circuit court of appeals from tho. Seventh
circuit of tho court, whero It Is ordered
that the claim of Carson, I'lrle. Scott &
Co.. creditors of Frank Hrus., bankrupts, bo
disallowed on tho ground that moneys paid
by nn Insolvent to n creditor In tho usual
nnd ordinary courso of business within
four months preceding tho dnto of tho filing
of n petition In bankruptcy by the Insolvent
constitutes a preference under sections
&7g nnd 60a, nnd 00b of tho bankruptcy
act, Irrespective of tho fact that tho
creditor receiving such payment Is not
awaro of tho fact that his debtor Is In

LAXATIVE DIIOMO-QUININE TABLETS.
WASHINGTON. Jan. IS. Just beforo C
o'clock this nfternoon tho sennto finally dis
posed of tho army reorganization bill. Tho
measure having originated In tho senate, the
final question was not upon Its passage, hut
upon ngrcclng to tho houso nniendincnts.
They were agreed lo by n vote of 43 to 23.
Whllo parly lines wero drawn on the meas
ure, four democrats voted for It, Senators
Lindsay of Kentucky, McLiuirln of South
Carolina, Morgan of Alabamn nnd Sullivan
of Mississippi. Senator Hoar of Massachu
setts, who was detained at his homo by Ill
ness, was paired against tho bill with Sen
ntor Spooner of Wisconsin.
The bill has occupied practically tho en
tire attention of tho senate since Jan
uary .'!, when It was mado tho unfinished
business. While the opposition to It nt all
stages was vigorous, It never wns bitter.
Numerous nmeiidmcnts were made to It, but
In general the committee was sustained and
the mcasuro with tho exception of the elimi
nation ot the canteen clnusc, Is not widely
different from thnt reported to tho senate.
A determined effort was mado today to
amend tho bill so nB to provide against tho
sale of liquor In tho Philippines and to pro
hibit tho Importation of nny- kind of Intoxi
cants Into tho Islands, but It was defeated.
A notable speech was delivered during
tho day by Hiilo of Maine, who, whllo op
posing tho Increase In the strength of the
nrmy, stated cogently his reusonB for sup
porting tho bill. Every effort to prevent tho
Increase In tho strength of thq nrmy wns
defeated by a decisive majority.
As tho bill originated In tho senate, It
will now go directly to thu cnnfcrcitco cbm
mlttces nppolntcd by the two branches of
congress.
Th nrmy reorganization bill was consid
ered by the senate. Mr. Halo of Maine said
he would prefer that a temporary lncrenso
n tho nrmy be provided, rather than u per
manent one. Ho would, he Bald, vote for
this bill because ho could not get anything
better. He thought that tho argument that
tho army should be enlarged uccordlng to tho
Increase of tho population was mnltclour.
Mr. Hale said that nsldo from tho omcr-
gtney In tho Philippines 30.000 men wns
Mifllclent for our needs, 15.000 for const do-
dense, C,000 ll" Aluska and the balance for
Porto Hlco would bo ample. He did not
kt:ow whero the men would como from.
With nil tho wnr feeling, men did not seem
to enlist.
Mr. Halo declared thnt It was not true
that tho army should be Increased to keep
pace with the navy. Tho lighting of this
country would bo on the sea nnd not upon
tho land. Ho would vote for this bill, how
ovcr.'bocnuse ho feared Its defeat might re
sult In disastrous consequences to cur arms
In tho Philippines.
II 1 1 In I'nNxeil liy the Semite.
Tho following bills were passed:
Authorizing tho postmnBtcr general to
lenso premises for the use of tho rural free
delivery division of tho Postodlco depart
ment; cxteudlng tho time for the com
mencement to Janunry 28, 1902, and tho'
completion to Janunry 28, 1904, of a brldgo
across the Missouri river at Oacoma, S.
1).; authorizing the appointment of J. A.
Hutton to n captaincy of Infantry In thn
United States nrmy.
When the consideration of the army re
organization was resumed dalllngcr of
New Hampshire nddresscd tho Bcnato In
support of his amendments providing for a
proper and adequate rank for tho veter
inarians of tho army and for a chief veter
inarian, who should havo tho rank of
mnjor. Ho also vigorously ndvocnted his
amendment providing for tho revocation of
nil licenses granted to American saloons in
tho Philippines nnd providing against tho
manufacture salo or Importation of beer,
wines or distilled llquois in the Philippines.
Ho said tho record showed there had been
a steady Increase In the export of liquors
from tho United States to tho Philippines
since the American occupation.
"What Is the necessity for this leglsla
Hon." Inquired Cockrell of Missouri, "when
tho whole thing Is In tho power of tho prcs
ldcnt."
Mr. Gulllngcr replied thero wns really
no necessity, ns tho power under which the
saloons wcro established In tho Islands
culd destroy them. Ho felt It wns tlmo
for congress to assort Its authority.
Piatt of Connecticut thought tho question
of liquor In tho Philippines should bo left
to tho Taft commission.
I nm not ready," ho concluded, "to bo-
llovo that tho commission Is not giving all
tho' tlmo to this matter of liquor selling,
to which all honorable tcmpernto men
could give,"
Mr. Lodge, chairman of tho Philippines
ccmmlttce said that with American occu
pation of the Philippines 400 or 500 Ameri
can bar rooms had been established nnd
licensed In Manila. They had dono and
wcro doing Inflnlto harm inoro hurm, In
his opinion, to tho army thnn to tho native
Inhabitants. Mr. Lodge directed tho c Men
tion of tho Benato to tho good results of
Ocneml Ludlow's liquor regulations In
Havana nnd said ho did, not know why n
slmllnr courso had not been tnken In Ma
nila. Ho said tho proposed amendment would
not bo objectionable to tho Tnft commis
sion.
Perkins of California urged that tho
whole matter ho left to tho Taft commis
sion and Carter of Montnna Bold tho
proposition presented wns ono simply to
Interfere with n town council In Manila nnd
wns not conslstnnt with tho Importance of
the grent Philippine problem.
It wns unwise, lnopportuno nnd Impru
dent, In his opinion, slnco It wns evident
thnt congress hnd not reached a conclu
sion ns to tho extent It would exercise leg
islative authority over tho Philippines.
Mr. Towno of Minnesota Interrupted to
tny that Mr. Carter "with his custoaiary
cogency," had "demonstrated tho capac
ity Innptltudo nnd unreadiness " of tho
American congress to deal with tho Phil
ippines problem.
Mr. Carter replied that tho best possible
evidence of tho capacity of congress to
legislate wisely for tho Philippines wns tho
fnct that It refused to loglslato at all In the
absenco of full and coniploto Information
nfter order and pcaco had been restored In
the Islands.
Elklns of West Virginia opposed tho pro
posed amendment, behoving congress ought
r.ot to underluko to dlctnto what tho res!
dents of tho Philippines ought to drink un
der tho gulso of protecting tho American
soldiers.
Ilnle (liven III Unison,
Halo of Maine then, in n brief but forceful
and earnest speech, enumerated some of tho
rontons why ho should voto for tho pond
Ing mill. Thero ought to be no doubt, he
suld, as to tho objects for which tho pro
posed largo army was to bo used.
"It Is well known," said ho, "that tho
army raised under this hill Is to bo a fight
Ing army; ono to tight In tho Philippine.
Islands, Wcro It not for tho fact that this
nrmy Is to conduct this wnr la the Philip
pines no committee of this body would pre
sent hero a proposition for the creation of
a perinnncnt standing army of 100,000 men.'
Mr. Halo thought tho only question In
volved In the discussion was whether tho
proposed army was needed, He wished all
the advocntes of tho bill had been as frank
In their uttcrnncr ns Sewell of Now Jcr
icy, who had admitted that probably 76,003
men would bo needed In tho Philippines for
several years,
Mr. Halo said he would bo glad If the
form of negotiation with tho Filipinos could
have been adopted as a means of Bettllnu
tho pending conflict, but senators did not
approvo of It. Ho believed, too, It would be
better to attach a temporary force to the
present standing aimy, but the sennto would
not hear of tliat. Ho pointed out that un
less this bill wns pasted thero would bo in
tho Philippines after July 1 next only about
20,000 American soldiers. Pressed by the
Filipino forces they would bo "hemmed In
Manila" and would bp Mucky If they were
not driven Into tho sen."
Ho added: "No man no party could
stniid upon Buch a condition. Therefore, I
am constrained ns much ns I am opposed
to It to support this measure"
Mr,. Halo declared that a standing nrmy
of 30,000 provided every soldier needed by
this country In time of pence, but ho would
voto on the pending bill "because with
out It almost Immeasurable tragedy might
befall tho administration In tho Philip
pines." Mr. Spoonor declared tho prohibition
amendment offered by Mr. Oalllngcr wns es
sentially mlschlovous and ho ulso objected
to that paragraph In the bill which pro
vided that tho pay of natlvo soldiers In the
United States army In tho Philippines
should bo only one-hnlf that of tho Ameri
can soldiers. Ho thought thry ought to
havo tho same pay. Ho expressed tho
opinion Hint congress should send' a com
mltteo to the Philippines as a preliminary
to legislation for tho Islands.
Messrs. Stewart and Forakcr opposed the
prohibition nmendmcnt.
Perkins of California offered an
amendment, which wns agreed to, providing
for the payment of $200 to every soldier
now In I ho Philippines whoso term of scrv
lco will locplre beforo July 1 next nnd who
will ro-cnllst for three years.
(Iiillltiicer Ail vine (iren( (.'nro.
,.Mr. Dalllngcr said ho thought nothing'
ought to be tolerated lit tho Philippines
which wan shocking to the mornl sense of
the pcoplo of this country. He said ho
would voto for tho pending measure with
some hesitation and n good deal of mental
reservation. He believed that tho Islands
would l'cmnln under military control for
fifty yenrs nt least nnd congress ought not,
therefore, to hcsltnto to begin legislation
for them.
The debate upon tho hilt then closed nnd
the voting began upon tho amendments to
tho bill. Mnllory of Florida ottered an
amendmout striking out ncctlon 20, empow
ering the president to maintain the en
listed forco of tho nrmy nt tho maximum
strength during the present exigencies ot
the Borvlce, or until such time ns congress
may hereafter direct. Tho nmendmcnt was
rejected, 20 to 12.
Mr. Money proposed nn amendment pro
viding that tbo provisions of the pending
bill should remain In force only until July I.
1903, after which time the army should be
reduced to tho number provided by law-
prior to April 1, 1S9S. Hejectcd. 23 to 3!.
Mr. llerry proposed an amendment direct
ing tho president to Issue a proclamation
within ten days after the passage of tho
bill disclaiming any Intention un the part
of the United Stales lo oxerclso sovereignty
over tho Philippine Islands except for the
purposo of pacification nnd thereafter to
leavo tho government of the Islnnd.i to the
people. Hejectcd, 21 to 43.
Senator.) Llndkay. McLaurln nnd Sullivan
voted with tha republicans against the
amendment.
A motion by 'Mr. Pettlgrcv.- to Btrlko out
section 32 of tho bill, providing for tho en
listment of Filipinos, wns rejected, 24 to
41, as wns an nincntmcnt by Mr. Dnnlel to
fix tho pay of native officers and men at the
same rule paid to Americans,
Mr. Spooner. suggested nn rnicndment
'.cnvlng tho llxlns of tho pay of native troopi
to tho discretion of tho Eecretnry of war. It
was agreed to.
Mr. McComas suggeated Bovornl amend
ments, which wele agreed to. They strike
out tho ago limit for volunteer ofllccr.i to
bo examined for the grades of captains and
first or second lieutenants nnd to Include In
the cllglblcs for nuch examination volunteer
officers who served prior to 1S!S.
men In any company of Infantry, any troop
of cavalry or nny battery of artillery to tho
roaxlmuir. Hejectcd, 22 to 13.
Many amendments changing the bill in
minor particulars woro offered, but as a rule
thoy were rejected without division.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. This wns prl-
vato bill day In tho house, llcforo the rcg
ular order was demanded somo minor busi
ness was transacted by unanimous consent.
Tho house then went Into commltteo of tho
whole, Mr. Hcmenwny of Indiana In tho
chair, for the consideration of private hills
cn the calendar.
Tho first bill on tho calendar was tho bill
to refer to the court of claims tho claims
of tho William Cramp & Soa Ship and Kn
gtnc company, arising from the delny of tho
government In urnlshtng armor for the
New York. Culumbla, Massachusetts nud Ia
dlana. It was agreed, however, that other
bills to issue duplicate checks and bonds
for lost originals should take precedence.
These wero ordered favorably reported.
They were as follows: For the relief of
Abblc N. Watctman, C. C. Salffcn, E. D.
Atwood aad 'William II. Comegys.
Tho Cramp bill was then taken up. Mr.
Thropp of Pennsylvania then explained- Its
provision nnd said It had bcea beforo sev
eral congresses aad from tlmo to tlmo had
passed cac or the other houses. The claims
aggrcgato $1,367,244.
Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania and Mr.
Hobb cf Missouri, who Is a member of the
commltteo on claims, opposed the bill. Mr.
Uobb Bald tho contract with tho Crnmrs
specified thnt no changes should bo mado
on account of plans nnd that the contractors
had further expressly released tho govern
ment from every claim for loss or damago i
bustoincd by them by reason of tho govcrn-
mcnl'a failure to furnish armor and ma
terial. Tha government hnd the contrnctorf
receipt In full. ,
Mr. Steelo of Indiana IntorpoBcd to ask
whether tho receipt wna not rando under j
duress.
"I hove heard un Intimation," replied Mr. !
Uobb, "that tho great shipbuilding llrm of :
Cramp & Sons had been coerced Into stir- I
rendering u claim for over $1,000,000 In i
order to secure an advance of ?lt0,000. nut
I do not bcllevo it and I cannot understand
how nny gcntlemnn on thlo floor can bellovc
It. It Is ridiculous."
Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania mado an ex
tended argument In support of the measure,
which ho said would only submit the claim
to tho court of claims to determine Its
equities.
Thero wns qulto an extended debate on tho
bill nnd when Mr. Orosvenor of Ohio, In bo-
halt of Its friends, endeavored to limit
debate and bring it to a voto tho opposition
adopted dilatory tactics and prolonged tho
light by points of no quorum nnd other ex
pedients. Finally tho previous question was
ordered on this bill nnd oa four minor bills,
these latter four bolng paused. The house
then, at 6:15, adjourned, leaving Dual no
tion on tho Cramp bill for another day.
