crease the stock OF small arms and on.
courage military organizations In the
States.
Mr., Blackburn moved TO reduce the
army to 1900. He denied for himself
and the members Of his Side Of the House
that the proper method Of preventing such
disorders as disSraced the country last
summer was 10 bG found 10 an increase Of
the army, or In supplying them with more
canister and GraPe.Ghot to shoot down the
impoverished lGborers OF the land who
dared to complain OF the robberies Of
which they were the victims, BY reason Of
the persistent clasS legislation Of the last
tiIteen years. Some applause In the gal.
leFles. They were nol willing to admit
that such a process OF repression,
coupled with the wholesale murder Of 4
starving populaee was either statesman

illustrated, He gave notice that he
would call Tor the yeas and nays In the
House on his amendment, 80 as to test
the sense OF the House il 1t would pro.
pose to redress the wrongs Of the impoy.
erlshed citizens OF the country BY az 10.
crease Of military power. More ap.
plau'e in the galleries.
Mr.. Pridemore said he would vote for
Mr.. Blackburnl amendment, and II a
proviso were not added like tho one en-
bodied in heblll last year, he would vote
against the bill.SS
Mr.. Hewitt. Of New York, said let u,
discharge Its just obligations and leave to
the future the question Of increase or de.
crease.
Nj. Clymer took a similar view.
Nj. CriItenden was unwilling to vote
one dollar until be knew how many men
were In the army, and no ono seemed to
have that knowledge. What was the con.
dition Of the army now? Joseph cap.
tured General Howard and General
Miles captured Joseph. Sitting Bull had
retired from the country, and there was
no use for an army ofover $4,000 men. 1t
should never be used to overcome labor.
ing men, for the people OF that class
would never be conquered by force, while
the American people would always be on
tho side Of the laboring men.
Mr.. Sparks said the session had been
called for the purpose Of passing Just
dues to the army and the bill should
therefore be promptly passed.
Without action the committee rose and
the House adjourned.

route to Washington to arrange treaty
whereby the Samoan Islands may be
placed under the protection Of the United
States government, 1t ia represented BY
the passengers ot the Isabel that the Ger.
man and British consuls resident on the
Island have been Administering affairs
with high hand. The natives can nc
longer stand the oppression. 0ne Of the
passengers has in his possession copy ol

levying $4,000 on the natives. Since
this proclamation was issued other fines,
$50, 900 more, had been levied, equal to a
tax of five dollars on each male adult.
