THE LATE SPECIAL SESSION
Are the Senators Entitled to Pay
for Their Attendance +?
The Constitution Is Silent on the Question
and the Senate Yesterday Afternoon
Ruled Adversely.

Much time was spent during
the afternoon session of the
Senate yesterday over the motion
of Senator Hol tpin to insert the
item Of $500 IN the deficiency ap
preparation bill for the expenses
of the sp 'ciHl session of the Seua,e
last September. The Senator
argued that while the Constitu
tiou did not expressly authorize
the payment of Senator'S iu
special Sc sion of the Senate
alone, it did by Implication, and
that the mbers were therefore
eutitled to the 500 each allowed
for extra sessions of the LAgisla-
ture.
Attorney General Smith sup
ported tLese views and quot d
sections of the Consiitutinn
and the titles thereto. arguing
that they should be taken us
whole
Senator Brown called Mr..
Smiths attention 10 au article in
the Constitution which said in
express terms that the titles
should not be consider d pat
of the Constitution and said that
if the trainers of the Constitution
intended to pay the Senate for
sp cial sessions they world have
SO stated. The position of Srra
tor was one of some honor and
carried with it some responsible
ties, among them the being called
IN hy the President for advice or
counsel when the interests Of tn |
country demand d it. Any per
onal sacrifice mqde in answeri' G
these sal. must b. st a4alns the
honors Of the pos tirn, AID met |
sh uli not accept houors wi hout
being prepar, d to give something |
in return.
AS to the legal aspect of the
case, there were four sections OF
the Constitution b.srIpg on it,
which should be read as a whole.
The matter had been brought be
fore the Judiciary Committee
some days ago and bad been given
most careful consideration. There
WAS some little doubt about tn
question and for that reason be
was opposed to granting the item
asked. Senators were clearly en-
titled to their mileage for attan-
dance, for that was clearly provid-
ed for. Their pay was another
thing and tat was not provided
for. i = believed that the Senate
should be careful of their honor
in every matter and under no cir
cum stances vote themselves any
money unless the Constitution
gave them cl"ar and undoubted
right t. it. They could do it, "f
course, as they had the power
Eut he Should oppose it to the III
most.
Scnator McCaudIess coiucided
with the preceding speaker and
moved to amend by in' e ting $500
in place of S3500 aud the item
passed as amended. This pays
for the mileage OF the memb' RS
and other expenses connected with
the special session.
The balance of the afternoon
was taken up with the appropria.
lion bill for unpaid claims.
Among the important Items which
passed were the bill of the Cana
diau. Austria iau line for S9439 for
the Cranstoun case and the claim
of Cha. Dunwrl for S3250, The
Kinai Maru bis, school depart
ment d fciencies and several
other items were sent to commit

At 3:25 th4 Senate adjourned,

The bishop was subjected to the grossest
indignities. The friars were beaten with
sticks. kicked and hung up in the torrid
sun for several hours The natives were
forbidden to render the friars any assist
ance. During their greatest suffering,
while hanging hungry and naked in the
burning sun. Chinese and natives furtively
supplied them with food and water.
"One aged friar was placed upon

poured from his mouth and nose. Another

Protest Against Discussing Relations
of Adjutant General and COM
mandinG General.

The adjutant generals Office of the War
Department was well represented today at
the hearing before the House committee on
military affairs, relative to the proposed
increase of the army. Adjutant General
Corbin was expected to open the hearing,
but was detained at the department. His
office was represented, however by officers
from the several main branches of the
army, namely, Brigadier General Schwan,
Major Hcistand, Major Simpson and Major
Johnston
Gen. Schwan detailed at length the or
ganiZation of the army uHsier the plan pro-
posed in the Hull bill, which has the in
dorsement of the Secretary of War The
total strength of officers would be 3,72i; ;
total strength of enlisted men, M, 191; grand

New York. Gen. Schwan said about II, ,Ooo
men were required to man seacoast forti-
ffcations.
How many men are required to maintain
peace and order in Porto Rico?" asked Mr..

About 5000. The Spaniards had 5000 to
$780, answered Gen. Schwan
When Mr.. SulZer asked how many SOL
dlers were required to maintain peace and
order in Cuba, until the Cuban republic
IS proclaimed" Gen. Schwan declined to
give an opinion.
similar response was made on an in
qulry as to the Philippines. The questions
brough out some differences between men,
bers OF the committee. Chairman Hull
sald this was not the trial of a case" and
the nflcer was not on the witness stand.
Mr. SulZer insisted. however, that it was
essential for the Information of the Ameri-
can people that the officers appearing
should state how many men were required
at home and abroad. Proceeding, Mr.. Sui
zer asked: General. what would you pro-
pose as means of stopping the friction
between the commanding general and ad-
1utant general of the arrny?"
Gen. Schwan said he could not answer
and there was a chorus Of vigorous protests
from members of the committee.
Chairman Hull ruled that the question
was improper, and Mr.. Sulzer's colleagues
Messrs. Cox and Hay, urged him not to
pursue the question. Mr. Suzer said that
Lieut.. Gen. Schofield had gone into the sub
Ject quite freely, but he did not wish to in
sst upon the question
Mr.. cox questioned Gen. SchWan as to
what use would be made OF our soldiers in
Cuba. The general said 1t would be to
maintain peace and order there. Mr.. Cox
insisted That 1t was to maintain this order
over the CuhanS, as the Spauiards had
Withdrawn. Gen. SchWan declined to accept
TINS Interpretation, saying the army in
Cuba was to maintain order against all
alike,

col. BR1AN,s RESIGNATION.
Received and Accepted by the Presi
dent.

The President has accepted the resigna-
ton of Col. William j. Bryan of the Sd
Nebraska Volunteer Infantry which reach
ed him late yesterday afternoon, and the
governor of Nebraska has been notified of
the vacancy in the command of that regi-
ment. in order that he may nominate Col.
Bryan's successor. The impression at the
War Department is that Lieut.. Col Victor
NifQuain, who was consul general at Pan
anna during President Cleveland's second
administration, will succeed to the
cOloneiCy of the Sd Nebraska. lnasmuch as
that regiment is under orders to proceed to
Cuba for garrison duty, il is expected that
the appointment will be made immediately
There no delay in action upon this
case. Col. Bryan's resignation being prompt

promoted to the grade of ma jor general Of

Upon him viii devolve the important duty
OF reorganizing the entire public service of
the city of Havana, including the estai,-
lishment of an entirely new system of san
itation and the organization of a civil force
for the preservation of order and the de-
lection and punishment of crime. In this
latter work he will he assisted by CAPT
McCullaSh, late superintendent of police of
New York city, who has already gone to
Havana to look over the field. Gen. Lud-
lows experience with the government of the
District of Columbia will undoubtedly stand
him in good stead in the performance of he
duties before him. His administration of
the engineering affairs of the District, in
Guiding the constructor of the sewers and
water works, will be especially valuab be
to him in his new field. His knowledge and
experience in municipal affairs had un-
doubtediy much to do with his selection for
the work of regenerating the capital city of
