Hale Chanjes General Staff with Desire to Invade China. INDIAN BILL IS SENT TO CONFERENCE Mr. l.oaa Matkra sin Intended peeeh la Favor of statehood lllll na It l ame from Motii. WASHINGTON. March 6-The question of the enlargement of the medical depart ment of the army occupied the major por tion of the time of the senate today. The question arose in connection with the con sideration of a bill for the displacement of contract surgeons by physicians who shall be given the rank of army officers, and the reorganization of the medical corps. Mr. Hale criticised tho bill as an entering wedge for a general increase of the army and said that It was a part of a general plan of the general start" which he charged with general purpose of enhancing the army's Importance. In his remarks the senator said the general staff was disposed to encourage an invasion of China. Messrs. Carter and Qallinger spoke in somewhat the same vein of objection as did Mr. Hale, while the hill was defended by Messrs. Warren, Blackburn and other sen ators. The hill was not disposed of. The only speech of the day on the state hood bill was made by Mr. Ing. who advocated the passage of the bill as re ported by the committee on territories. Secretary Taft occupied a snat on tha floor of the senate while the army bill was under consideration. Indian Bill Kent to Conference. When the senalo convened 'today Messrs. Clapp, MeCumber and Dubois were ap pointed as n committee to confer with a like committee rrom the house cm the bill providing for the settlement of the a IT. 1 Irs of the five clvlllied tribes of Indians. The bill providing for the increase of the efficiency of the medical department of the army was called up ami Mr. Hale spoke in opposition to it. He said that the bill was one of the many prepared by the genernl staff of the army Intended to accomplish the Influence of the army which he be lieved undesirable. He added a word c-j.-pressing his conviction that the plan was that of the general staff nnd not of the secretary of war. "AI! of these bills have their root here." he said. "I find that this staff, dealing with an army of flO.ooo men, is disporting itself as the general staffs In Europe do, whereas in Germany, for instance, there If an army of "t.ncn or sno.onti men. While the plans pursued were proper where end. country was surrounded by powerful neigh hors, It was not proper whore there was no danger." Would Invade China. In this connection Mr. Hale said that the general staff had prepared plans for the invasion of China by an American army, but he added that he did not mean to go Into this subject. "For with the secretary ot state sitting on the lid I do not believe we aro likely to have war." It waa, he said, the purpose of that organ ization to invade China which would bo a declaration of war. Mr. Hale was replying to a question of Mr. Tillman, who asked how many troops had been sent to the Philippines with a view to their being sent to China, and Mr. Hale said: "1 don't know how many troops Siave been sent there, but I think several thousand- The purpose of the. general staff that they may be used If any emergency either arises, or can be made, to Invade China, which, of course, would be a dec laration of war, while, congress is In ses sion." ! Mr. Hale spoke of the great rxpense of the retired list, saying that In the last three years we have retired more brigadier generals than were ever retired before in the same time alter a great war. He also said that the navy list was something startling. Warren Iteplles to Hale. Mr. Warren replied to the last suggestion by saying thut It was due largely to the bill of last session retiring officers who had served in the civil war with Increased rank and called attention to the fart that Mr. Hale had supported that mensute. Mr. Hale responded that the Increase was due not to the civil war. but to the fact tiiat officers were given Increased rank for a very brief time, in some cases only for a day, In order to give them better rank In retirement. Mr. Warren took exception to Mr. Utile's statement that the pending bill was one of many looking to an increase of the army, declaring that it was not intended for that purpose and that no Increase In expend!- NOT WHAT YOU EARN BUT WHAT YOU SAVE that indicates your success.

When Mr. lmg concluded, the bill for the regulation of enlistment and punishment In the revenue cutter service was taken up and passed. The senate then resumed consideration of the bill to Increase the efficiency of the medical department of the army and Mr. Carter took the floor In opposition to it. He declared the hill was an entering wedge for an Increase of the army, which he did not believe to be desired by the country. He suggested the recommittal of the bill. Mr. Warren again denied that the bill contemplated any material Increase or that It was any part of a general scheme for the enlargement of the army. lie added that such Increase of the army as was made was In the -displacement of contract surgeons by njajors, captains ,nd lieu tenants.

WASHINGTON, March .-The house be gan Its session today by passing without discussion or opposition a bill for the relief of tobacco growers, by permitting them to sell leaf tobacco without paying the tax of 6 cents a pound heretofore charged. The balance of the day was devoted to tariff discussion, the Indian appropriation bill be ing the vehicle to carry the debate. Pre ceding this, Mr. Sherman explained the provisions of the bill. The tariff discussion was opened by Mr. Rue ker of Missouri, who brought forth arguments designed to sustain the demo cratic idea of tariff for revenue only, and he closed with the prediction that these Ideas would prevail with W. J. Rrjan as the standardbearer. Mr. Lacey, In discussing the home market and the German tariff, initiated a lively Are of argument from both sides and par ticipated in generally, and near the close of the day Mr. Williams, the minority leader, talked tariff for more than an hour. Mr. Williams set forth the various bills he has Introduced and asserted that 2" pe-r cent of the cost of the commodities would cover, as a rule, the actual cost of the labor in their product Ion.
