the memory of George Washington had
been defeated in the House by the Repub-
licans, the sundry civil appropriation bill

for the present fiscal year.
Mr.. Cannon tried hard and unSucceSs-
fully TO explain this discrepancy by
pointing out the few items that We're
increased slightly over the current years

on the items that receive no appropri-
alton az all. and referring lightly 70
those items that had been cut down.

He says:

ratgns the French Govern ment.
Paris. Feb, 22.-Maitre Labori continued
his great plea for justice in the assizes
court today. Following the example of
the advocate general yesterday, NJ. La
bori devoted himself exclusively TO the
Dreyfus case. which he reviewed in great
detail from its outset Evidence which
he was prevented from introducing as tes
timony he spread before the jury under
the guise of argument, making in effect a
terrific arraignment of the civil and mill
tary rulers of France. He, like Zola yes
terday, was frequently interrupted by an
CRY protests from the crowded court
room. Sometimes he ignored them. and
sometimes turned defantly upon his re-
vilers and scorned them into silence.
NJ. Labori spoke for three hours, eiab-
Grating by fact and argument wonder
fully strong case of the illegaiity of
Dreyfus condemnation, If not his abso-
Lutte innocence. His speech was still un-
finished when the court rose. He Will
deliver his peroration tomorrow.

HE WANTS MORE SOLDIERS.
Gen. HawIcy's Bill Called Up in
the Senate.

Washingtons farewell address was read
in the Senate by Senator Lodge today in
accordance with the usual custom.
At the conclusion of the reading. Cen
eral Hawley called up his bill authorizing
the increase of the army by the equip
ment of two additional regiments of aTtil-
lery. In his report Mr.. Hawley says the
speedy passage of the bill is an absolute
necessity; for the men are reqired TO care
for and man the new guns that have been
put i'm place. Unless this part of the SER
vice is increased the report says the ex-
penditure for the high-powered guns Will
be wasted treasure.
Senator Bate of Tennessee opposed the
increase, claiming IL was intended as an
opening wedge for the general increase
of the army. He wanted the country pro-
tected. but contended that the men now
i'm the service should be applied to this
work
Senator CockTell also opposed the bill
on the ground that the present unem-
ployed infantry companies should be as
signed TO this duty.
