to enter an order requiring the defend
ants to produce in court by Monday
morning all the books and records of
every character and description belong
ing to the New York and Montana cor
porations, or under their care and con-
troll, containing entries referring to the
properties involved in the case or the
business of the two corporations since
April 6, 1893 Mr. Mediation said the
motion was made for the reason that
the plaintiffs desired to inspect the
books and records and if in their judg-
ment they were competent and material,
to offer portions of them in evidence.
Mr.. Forbis and Mr.. Scallon objected
to the court making such an order
without notice in writing having been
served on the defendants attorneys.
They quoted the law which required
such notice to be given, but Judge
Clancy sustained Mr.. McHatton's mo-
ton and ordered the defendants to pro-
duce all books and records in court by
Monday morning, although Mr. Scallon
stated that the books were scattered
all over the country, from Boston and
New York to Butte. Judge Clancy then
continued the further hearing until
Monday morning to give the plaintiffs
attorneys time to prepare counter afti-
davits. Mr.. Scallon objected to the con-
tinuance and the consequent delay and
was addressing the court. when Judge
Clancy. with characteristic lack of cour-
tesy. interrupted him by ordering the
bailiff to adjourn court which was done.
and the judge left the bench while Mr..
Scallon was addressing him.
We'll, you'll hear me on Monday
said Mr.. Scallon as Judge Clancy van
ished into his chamber.

the administration did not mean to hold the Phil

he did in the case OF Cuba? Why did not Senator

The Army Bill.

The House Of Representatives at Washing
ton have under discussion bill to reorgan-
ize and increase the regular army. Three
days and nights have been spent IN general
discussion and the measure is being consld-
cred under the five minute rule.
The bill-the Hull bills being urged by
the Administration, and will doubtless be
passed when the vote is taken next tuesday
afternoon. 1t provides for a large standing
army TO be used in holding Cuba. Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Sulus and the Philippines. 1t
will add greatly 10 the annual expenses OF
government and will increase largely the pen
sion rcll. And apart from this. a large stand
ing army is against the policy of the
United States for the past one hundred years:
is against the teachings of the founders of the
republic. and has ever been regarded as Il
menace to the liberties of the people.
The minority of the committee on military
affairs presented a bill, known as the Hay
bill, which provides temporily for an Increase
in the army for duty in the late Spanish is
lands. but the Republican Administration Is
opposed to it. and the Republican majority
will vote it down. The opposition to the
HAY bill is conclusive proof that the Mchin-
lev Administration has determined upon Il
policy of territorial expansion and to make
the United States great naval and military
power.
The debate upon the army reorganization
bill has taken wide range. and the whole
question Of territorial expansion and impe-
riaiism has been discussed. The dangers, a.
well as the heavy expense. Of such a policy
have been forcibly presented. but the Repub-
lican majority has determined 10 forge ahead
and take the plunge into the dangerous sea Of
foreign politics.
The only hope of the country Is IN the WIS
dom of the Senate That body has rarely
failed-et it be hoped il ~ill he the country :
bulwark against dangerous experiments IN

There was a lively debate in the Senate on
Monday, during an executive session. over
promotions in the navy, in which the iavorit
ism of the Navy Department in the matter Of
promotions was sharply criticised. senators
German aud Wellington protested against the
advancement of Admiral Sampson over Adj
miral Sehley, and the discussion covered the
naval battle off Santiago, during which Ger
vera's fleet was destroyed by the boats under
command of Admiral Schley. \ resolution
was passed by a large majority asking for the
records in all the cases and the whole matter
was postponed for twenty days.
