ARMY ORGANIZATION BILL.
Pronounced Movement In Senate Look
ing to Compromise.

Washington, Feb. 17.-There was a
pronounced movement in the senate to-
day looking to compromise on the ar
my reorganization bill. The movement
originated with several republican sena-
tors, who desire to avoid an extra sas-
sion of congress. The Cockrell bill was
accepted by them as the first advance
on the part of the democrats toward an
understanding. When the matter was
brought to the attention of Senator
Hawley, chairman of the committee on
military affairs, he gave it no counte-
nance whatever, declaring that he was
not willing to yield anything. He was
critical of the Cockrell BILL finding es-
pecial fault with it's provision for ma
tives of the new provisions in the
American army. He announced his
purpose to stand by his notice to call
up the bill presented by him and insist
upon consideration on that basis only
The indications are that the democratic
senators will make some concessions.

RESCUED By BRITISH STEAMER.
The Crew of the Gloucester Schooner
Carl w. Baxter.

Carl w. Baxter.
Boston, Feb. 1.-THE British steamer
Mourne, Captain Birchman, from
Shields, Eng, January 26, which ar
rived here to-day, had on board the
crew of the Gloucester schooner Carl w.
Baxter, who were taken off the leaking
craft. When abandoned the Baxter was
in latitude 4232 north, longitude $3.50
west, and directly in the track of navi-
cation. The rescue was made on the
night of February 16 after the steamer
had taken on board three injured men
from the BaXter's crew and towed the
vessel for number of hours. After
taking off the crew and rowing them to
the steamer the Mourne's life-boat was
capsized and Chief Officer Davis and the
boats crew thrown into the water, from
which they were rescued after brave
struggle. Captain T. e. Allen OF the
schooner said that on February IA wnlle
on Browns Bank terrible sea boarded
the craft, doing great damage and Sc
riously injuring three men. The Baxter
was helpless in the trough of the sea
for sixty-one hours, until the Mourne
came to her assistance. Upon arrival
here the injured sailors were taken to
the marine hospital. The Baxter prob :
ably went down. She was seventy tons
burden, built in Essex in 1885, and own
ed by William A. King of Gloucester. )
She was valued at about $1,000 and
probably insured.

ATKINSON ON IMPERIALIsM.
The Economist Crtticises Mckinley and
Attacks Expansion.

son, the economist, taking the opposi,
| tion to Civil Service Commissioner John
Proctor's advocacy of the topic. Mr.
Atkinson referred to President McKin-
| leys statement in calling upon the peo-
! pie, last April, to support the govern
ment in an effort to break the rule of
| Spain, to the effect that forcible annexa-
ton could not be thought of, as by our
code of morality it would be criminal
aggression, and said that an incident of
the removal of Spain from Cuba had
been the abatement of that rule from
the Philippines, but nothing had chang
ed the purpose of the undertaking. He
asked If under the code of morality the
work of slaughtering lately executed
under the orders of the chief executive
is not an act of criminal aggressive
ness. He held that the Filiplnos had
drawn up and presented state papers
which are models of intelligent compre-
hension of their rights, but which to the
discredit and perhaps the dishonor OF
this country have been refused accept
ance.
we have neither the moral right, the
political right, and I hope not the physi-
cal power to compel the Inhabitants Of
these islands to become our vassals," he
said. Mr.. Atkinson claimed that Presi-
dent Mckinley in his Home Market
club speech here, last night, declared
allegiance to many anti-imperahstic
principles, but he proceeded, at length
to take up President McKinley's state
ments for sharp criticism. THE presi-
dent says" Mr.. Atkinson pointed out
1T is not good time for the liberia tors
to submit important questions concern
ing the liberty and government, to the
liberated, while they are engaged in
shooting down their rescuers. Rescuers,
fors9oth," said Mr.. Atkinson, "are we
rescuers when we are liberating them
by death in the slaughter of thousands
under the name of rescuers?p In con-
clusion, Mr.. Atkinson referred to the
pretense that the Filpinos must be pro-
tected from spoilation BY other nations,
saying: why should there not be one
group of islands in the whole wide world
neutralized as Belgium is as the Congo
Free state is, as the Suez canal is-ports
free to all, no hostile shot to be fired
from land and no fleets to fight within
the waters?"
In his Introductory remarks Mr.. Proc
tor paid a high compliment to Mr.. At
kinson's ability as a statistician and
economist and added that the people of
Massachusetts having been right on so
many questions seemed to feel that they
had the privilege of debating absolutely
on the question of expansion The fig
ures given us by anti-expansionists are
delusive, there is no reason why the
revenues should pay all the costs of the
administration and leave,a large surplus
for the Improvement Of the islands. 1t
would have been folly to keep Manila
as naval station, turning over to for
elgn powers islands of the Philippines
vast deposits of coal.

PLEASURES FOR THE PRESIDENTys
Continual Round In Boston Yesterdays
Leftfn Good Health,

Boston, Feb 1.-THE second and lank!
day Of the visit of President Mckinley
and his cabinet was spent in one conl
tinual round of pleasure. Tilis day,
like it's predecessor, was beautiful one
as far as wind and weather were con-
cerned, and the different events which
were crowded into the few remaining
hours followed each other with bewil-
dering rapidity. The president arose
and breakfasted at 8 o'clock, and at 10
o'clock was en- route to the fremont
Temple, where he spoke to the members
Of the Massachusetts, department Of the
G. A. R., who were assembled in annual
convention. Immediately foil owing this
carriages were taken for the state
house, where the president visited the
legislature in joint session and made an
inspiring address Here also Secretary
Long created much amusement by his
witticisms and his illusions to the time
when he welded the gavel as speaker Of
the Massachusetts, house Of representa-
tives. After a short reception the pres
idential party was taken on a tour
through the subway and thence to the
Algonquin club, where a breakfast was
rendered to the visitors by the members
Of the Commercial club, composed OF
the principal business and professional
men of the city of Boston. At 4:5O the
party was driven to the south terminal
station and left for Washington on
their special train at $40. Secretary
Long did not return with the party.
Hon. Ferdinand Peck, commissioner Of
the United States to the Paris exposi-
tion, with his wife, accompanied the
president as far as New York. The
president left in excellent health and
expressed himself as having enjoyed
every moment of his trip and as being
well pleased at the welcome and greet
ing he had received at the hands Of the
Home Market club, whose especial
guest he has been, and from the citt-
zens of Boston and the commonwealth. \

WOMAN ON THE SITUATION.
No Danger of Coup d'Etat-strange Sud-

Paris, Feb. r.-Everything is very
nuiet in Paris to-day. There is no dan
ger of coup detat. The favorite can
Loubet, now president of the senate.
Still the ministers whom I saw to-day
think that M. Faure's death is mis-
fortune at the present juncture; and
this is the conventional talk. They had
all looked forward to his having soon to
resign and they spoke to-day of the pos
eible effect of his death on the courts
of Europe If M. Loubet is elected
European sovereigns will soon transfer
to him their friendly regard. He is a
good, unaffected, level-headed man Of
honest, open life and far more intellec-
tual culture than poor Faure. He is an
advocate and practiced at the Monti e.
mar bar in the department of Drome.
Montilemar is his native town. AS
precaution against coup d'etat or any
attempts of the sort, the troops have
been ordered to keep within the bar
racks in all the garrisons.
Public events in France have a
strange suddenness and take spontane-
ously a dramatic character. Thus M.
Faure's body lies IN Sale des Fetes
or hall of festivities. The cards had
been issued to six thousand people to
attend state ball next Thursday. To-
day the tapestries of the ballroom have
been taken down that the room may be
hung in black. M. Faure had looked
forward with delight to tho Elysee be-
ing in 1900 the resort of sovereigns.

Nicholas was an acceptance OF his in

Announced That M. MeIine Had Def =
niteIy Accepted Candidature for the
neutrality-suspicious. as to Whether
Dreyfus Affair VIII Influence the
EIection-The Due d'OrIeans Active.
Paris, Feb. 17.-Shortly before mid
night it was announced that M. Meline
had definitely accepted the candidature
for the presidency
Although M. Loubet, possessing the
almost unanimous support of the SEN
ate, is so strong a favorite for the pres
idency, it would be rash to predict his
election. In the election of 1895, when
M. Faure was chosen, NJ Waldeck-
Rousseau was an almost equally hot
favorite; but in the first ballot he OBJ
tained only 1856 votes, as against 344
cast in favor of M. Brisson. The prece-
dents, therefore, are unfavorable to M.
Loubet.
Furthermore there is large section
of deputies who are strongly in favor
of M. Meline When at the meeting of
progressive republican deputies to-day
M. Meline announced his withdrawal
on the ground that continuance Of his
candidature would divide his party and
perhaps cause it's defeat, a noisy dis
cussion followed. A large section firm
ly opposed the withdrawal. Unable to
arrive at a unanimous decision, the
group adjourned until this evening,
when it reassembled at $780, Resou-
tions were then adopted unanimously in
favor of M. Meline's candidature, and
the leaders of the party were directed
to endeavor to arrange an understand
ing on the subject with it's friends in
the senate. 1t is reported that the vat
lean has decided to support Melines
candidature.

which is perhaps in his favor. He has
managed ceverly to conceal his opin-
ions completely on the Dreyfus affair.
Since his ministry was overturned on
the Panama affair he has not been
prominently before the public, and the
imnartiality required for the presidency
of the senate seems to be regarded as
one of his best qualifications for the
first magistracy. M. Loubet's chances
depend largely upon whether the Drey-
fus affair Is to influence the election.
If 1t does he will probably be defeated
because the anti-revisionists oppose
and the revisionists support him.
