THIRD APPROPRIATION
PROVIDES FOR THE NEEDS OF
THE INDIAN
ANOTHER BIG SUPPLY BILL
Ready for Action of the House on
Monday-Prospective Work on
Peace Treaty
Associated Press Special Wire

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE House
passed the bill granting right-of-way
through the San Francisco Forest Reserve
TO the Saginaw Southern Railway, of Ari-
zona.
Then Mr.. Payne, Republican, New York,
called up the bill extending the laws of the
United States relative to commerce, navi-
cation and merchant marine to the Hawai-
ian Islands.
Mr.. McRae sought to have the bill amend
ed so as to also extend to Hawaii the pro-
visions of the act of February 4, 1885, pro-
hibiting the importation Of contract labor,
but Mr.. Payne moved the previous question.
This motion was lost, and Mr.. McRae then
introduced his amendment. He asserted
his conviction that the law concerning con-
tract labor was just as important to the
islanders as apy others.
Mr.. Payne then made the point that the
amendment was not in order and was con-
firmed.
The amendment was then laid on the
table. Mr.. McRae asked for the ayes and
noes and Mr.. Payne, rather than prolong
the controversy, withdrew the bill
The House then went into committee OF
the whole on the Indian Appropriation bill.
Sherman, Republican, of New York, ex
planning the provisions of the bill, said that
while the appropriation was IN excess OF the
estimates, no items were appropriated that
had not been approved by the executive au-
thorities. He said the principal increase
was for the Indian schools, more than 81,
$50, 600 going for that purpose. This amount
did not include contract schools and the
question of sectarianism was completely
excluded. Nor did the appropriations in
clude the New York or Indian territory In
dians' education. whose education Is paid
for out of their own funds.
Lett, Democrat, of Arkansas, spoke in
commendation of the bill, saying that it had
practically no new legislation. He felicitat,
ed the congress especially upon the fact that
sectariansm had been entirely eliminated
from the bill. He also gave notice of an
amendment providing for the education OF
the white children in the territory. The
children there were entirely without means
of securing schooling and the country must
either educate the children or allow them
to grow up in ignorance or as outlaws.
After extended debate on amendments OF
a minor character the bill was passel sub
stantially as reported.
This is the third appropriation bill to
pass and it clears the calendar of the big
supply bills, although another, the agricul
tural, will be ready and knocking for at
tention by Monday.
At 4 o'clock the house adjourned.

New Army

WASHINGTON, Dec. l7-Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg, of the army, was heard by
the house committee on military affairs to-
day concerning the proposed increase in the
army. In the main, the hearing was con-
fined to the bureau needs, with reference to
the recent war General Sternberg sa,d
that the medical branch of the army at NJ
time had been adequate, even in time OF
peace. Now that it was proposed 70 ex-
pand the army four.fold, the medical branch
should be expanded at least three-fold. He
urged that the most essential need of the
medical corps was to haxe experienced men
quickly available for emergencies. The
want Of experienced medical officers had
been the main trouble in the recent war;
The surgeon general he believed, should
be given the rank of major general, al
though he hardly expected this to be done.
He was ready to go on until retirement
on the present basis himself, and merely
urged the'rank as a matter of proper orgah-
zation. He approved the appointment of
trained pharmacists.
The subject of complaints and the San
tiago campaign was brought up by Mr.. Hay,
of Virginia, who asked a number of CUES
tions. General Sternberg said the military
situation was responsible for what occurred.
General Wilson, chief of engineers, was
heard on the needs of that branch of the SER
vice. He kept closely to the work of the
bureau, declining to be led into discussions
on the conduct of the war. He pointed oil.
