MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE.
A Paltry $123,OOO,OOO for FOrti.
ficatious and ornament.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The senate
committee on coast defenses heard Gen.
Miles to-day, who concluded his state
ment as to the necessity of providing
suitable defenses for the Pacific coast.
After he had retired, the committee Or
dered Chairman Doiph to report FAVOR
ably his bill to provide for Notifications
and other sea coast defenses. The bill
carries an appropriation of 1923, QUO, 600,
OF which S2l, SOC, 900 shall be available in
the year ending June 80, 1891: $1,000 600
year for eleven years thereafter,
and S2,500,000 in the year 1923.
The appropriation is TO be expended in
accordance with the recommendations
of the board of officers appointed by the
president, which have been published
at various times. The bill was accom-
panied by report from the board of
army engineers at New York. Col. Alb
bett, president. recommending the pass
age of the act. Adverse reports were
ordered by the committee upon Senator
DOlph's bills appropriating S5,U00,0J0
for defenSeS of Puget sound ports, the
substance having been added to the bill
favorably reported. When the reports
were presented to the senate the bills
were indefinitely postponed. Favor
aOle action was also taken by the COM
mittee on Senator Stanford'S bill au-
thOriZing the appointment of board
of three officers of the army and
three of the navy to examine
and report the most suitable site
for gun factory on the Pacific coast.
An appropriation of $1.000.010 is made
to be expended on the purchase of the
tie and the necessary plant. In a re-
port from Gen. Benet, chief of ord
nance, accompanying the bill, he says
the department favors giving out part
of the work of furnishing and assemb-
ling guns by contract. In order to
justify the establishment of a gun fac
tory on the Pacific coast. it would seam
to be Indispensable, he says. that the
steel forgings should also be produced
there. The progress of the iron and
steel industry of that section mas been
heretofore seriously hindered by the
lack of suitable Goals. Even ordinary
coal for fuel, Gen. Benet says. is largely
imported in Colorado. The department
also holds that in any event but one
siXteen-inch gun plant should be put up
by the government.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Lieut. l.. W.
V. Kenron, of Gen. Crook staff, to-day
submitted, in behalf of the secretary of
war and Gen. Crook, statement before
the house committee on Indian affairs
III support Of the proposition made by
Gen. Crook to remove the Apache
Indian prisoners now confined at Mount
Vernon barracks, Ala. to Fort Sill, l.
L. Lieut.. KennOn took issue with many
OF the statements made by Gen. Miles
and others, who have objected to the
Indians removal, and quoted ex-
tensively from the records of
the war department to sus-
tain the arguments he advanced.
He said that Fort Sill was a healthy
situation, and that if the Apaches
were removed there it would be almost
impossible for them to cross the coun-
try and reach their old hauntS in New
Mexico and Arizona. He also called at
tention to the objections raised by Gen.
Miles aud others to their removal, and
said it did not appear from them to
What extent they were authorized to
represent the sentiments of the people
of Arizona and New Mexico Gen.
Miles himself had given repeated as
surances of the security which would
result to the territories of Arizona and
New Mexico if these Indians could be
removed to Fort Sill. They surren-
dered, he said, to Gen. Miles. on
condition that their lives should be
spared, that no harm should come to
them for their past otfenses, and that
they should be sent to join their fami-
lies who had already surrendered and
had been sent East. He spoke in high
terms of the Apache scouts. Gen.
Miles, he said, began and energeticallv
pursued his campaign for months with
out gaining a step, until, having eX-
hausted all other means at his command,
he employed two Chiricauhua Indians,
through whom lie communicated with
the hostiles and secured their surren-
der. That the removal to Fort Sill
should be made was agreed to by the
president, the secretary of war and all
the major generals of the army, and
they mad in the most emphatic way in
their power called upon congress for
authority to right d great wrong, to re-
move what the president, with the full
knowledge of the facts, had character
ICED as a reDrOach to the nation.

Tested in the Courts.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 21.-It is
understood that the Democratic leaders
in the house held several conferences
lately to consider the question of test
ing the constitutionality of Speaker
Reeds ruling that "members present,
but not voting, shall be counted to make
a quorum" Indeed. Mr.. Carlisle vir-
tually foreshadowed such action in his
remarks in the house OH the 18th inst,
when he said: "This question must go
into some otner form when a proper
case arises, and i desire to say it
is the purpose of this side of the
house to see that this question
shall be made in some form which
will enable the proper tri bunal of the
country to pass upon it finally and de-
cisively." In answer to question as
to what he meant by proper case aris-
ing. Mr.. Carlisle said: IL mean when
ever a bill is passed which affects the
rights of an individual or of property.
Then the person or corporation whose
rights are abridged or. whose property
is affected may seek redress in the
courts by testing the constitutionality
of the bill passed under Speaker Reeds
ruling as to what constitutes quorum.

before the courts; we can only refrain

IN A GALE.
The Steamship Highlander Has a Storm!
Experience.

The Steamship Highlander Has a Stormy
Experience.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The steamship
Highlander, which sailed from Antwerp
January for this port, experienced
some of the toughest weather ever
known on the ocean.
While in the English channel
the vessel encountered strong gales
with heavy seas, but in the Atlantic the
gale became a perfect hurricane, with
mountainous seas, which swept over her
decks. She is a large four-masted
steamer of 1000 tons and stood the
gales easily, pushing ahead at the
rate of ten or twelve miles per hour up
to January II, when one of the most ter
rife storms ever experienced came up.
The waves swept over the decks with
such fury that six of the life boats on
the upper deck were stove, one of them
being literally shattered to pieces. About
the same time heavy wave boarded the
ship, crushing in the turtle back over the
steering machinery, and rendering all
steering impossible.
Captain Weyer and his officers went
Immediately, at the risk of their lives,
to the scene of the disaster and the dam
age was temporarily repaired, so as to
render steering possible. The weather
continued stormy up to January 17,when
the storm abated and the wind blowing
from the northwest the steamer was en-
sbled to put on all sail and hopes of
reaching New York in few days were
entertained
The next day, however, gale even
more terrific than the former one came
on, lasting till the following morning
At this time it was found that the coal
was running short, so the ship was head
ed for Halifax, where she arrived at
about noon on the Goth, took on board
about $50 tons and proceeded again at
11:20 p. m. During theremainder of the
voyage she had heavy westerly gales
and high southerly sea with frequent
snow squalls and intensely cold weather.
