The Army Bill Must BE Passed or There
Will BE an Extra Session. l-
Washington, Feb. 9.-The Post will say
tomorrow: The army reorganization bill
must pass or the president will call an
extra session of congress. The opposition
to the bill in the senate has already been
frequently referred to in the Post and the
prediction made that some compromise
would be agreed upon whereby legislation
of temporary character would be placed
upon the army appropriation bill. This
will not satisfy the administration. No
makeshift eXpedient will be accepted.
The president has determined that the
passage Of the army bill shall be made an
issue, and there is no doubt in administra-
ton circles that he will be successful. If,
however, an obstacle should prevent ac-
ton, an extra session will surely be held
The conditions which have arisen leave
no other course to be pursued by the
president A decision was yesterday rem
dered by the attorney general to the eff
feet that as soon as the notifications of
the peace treaty are exchanged the vol
unteers can no longer be retained in ser
vice. This is also true, the attorney
general holds, of the additional regulars
who were enlisted for the war with SPAIN
Consequently, without the desired legis-
latlon, the president will find himself
with an army reduced from $1,000 to q, 900
men. ..

THE ENEMIES OF UTAH
Senator Cannon Replies to the
Attack Made on Him.
HE SCORES THE APOSTLES
Accuses Them of Selecting the Lowest
of Political Ideals - A Curse Will
Abide With Utah If She Proves
Venal and Infamous,

Salt Lake, Feb. "a large and en-
thusiastic audience greeted Senator f.
J. Cannon at the Salt Lake theater to-
night when he came on the stage to de-
liver his lecture on Senatorial Candi-
dates and Pharisees." A special train
from Ogden brought down a large num-
Der of the personal friends of the sena-
tor. The senator referred to the recent
attack upon him by the Women's Re-
publican club of Utah and made that
the basis for q discussion Of the living
questions now pending in the state.
He then took up the whole subject of
the trend of politics in Utah and set
the line sharply between the progress
sivists and reactionists of the Nor
mon church. He pointed out that Utah
came to the nation as a Hagar out of
the wilderness, with her empty water
jar and her dying child and that the
nation opened its arms to her and took
her into it's friendship and under its
authority, in return for which the ma
ton is entitled to receive from her such
devotion as was never given by any
other state and that she cannot repay
the nation except by holding to the
highest ideals, and that for these John
apostles of the Mormon church, have
substituted the lowest. He made a
touching reference to his mother, whose
faith and holiness had always kept him
in the church. He said that when he
faltered at the responsibility which noW
confronted him of seeking to have Utah
spared the possibility Of the awful
shame Of a senatorship bought and
sold, he had been impelled by the sre-
membrance of what his mother said
and did in the last senatorial fight
when his father. was a candidate
against him. She came to him then
and said: II don't want to be sena-
tors wife. I only want to be sena-
tors mother 8af.
With such courage standing behind
him, with mother brave enough to
discriminate between father and son,
he felt that he would be recreant to
all his antecedents if he were not now
brave enough to tell the leaders of the
Mormon church the truth and to brand
the reactionists of the church and the
pharisees of politics indelibly as enc
mics of Utah. He demanded that the
election of a senator of the United
States be settled on the hiehest grounds
which human thought can occupy, and
that Utah be preserved from betrayal
of a nations trust and from the curse
which will abide through her genera
tions if now she is venal and in

An Excuse for Chilli.

Valparaiso. Feb. "a dispatch re-
ceived to-day from Bolivia says that a
thousand Indians recently surrounded
the Corocoro mines, which is the prop
erty of Chileans, and ransacked all the
houses. The manager of the works, his
wife and an official tried to make their
escape. On the refusal of the Indians
to accept their offer of $4,000 to spare
their lives the manager shot his wife
and the official and then committed
suicide. The incident is likely to cause
difficulty between the Bolivian and
Chilean governments.
