New York, March S.-The committee
representing the American stockhold

amount Of more than $5,000.000 (par

statement defining their reasons for op-
posing the Speyer Southern Pacific plan

termine whether the rights they allege
through their minority stock will not
force the Southern Pacific interests to
modify the plan or resort to foreclosure

HAVE THE PROPER ARMS
United States Troops No Longer
at a Disadvantage.
DEWEY SHOWS THE STRAIN
He Says It Will Take Two Years to
Bring the Islands Under Subjec-
tion-Barrett Suggests a
Protectorate.

Washington, March S-A fact in con-
nection with the regulars who are now
reinforcing General Otis in the Philip
pines that is giving considerable salts
faction to the war department is that
they are armed with the caliber 80 rifles,
commonly known as the Krag-Jorgen-
sen. There has been more or less un-
easiness over the fact that the Filipino
sharpshooters, armed with Mausels,
could lay out of range of the SPRING
fields, with which our volunteers were
armed, and pot them to an extent that
was limited only by the bad marksman-
ship of the natives. This was not only
the source of a good many casualties
among our troops, but had a bad moral
effect on them, since it was very trying
to be continually under fire from an
enemy who kept discreetly out of dan
ger.
With the arrival of the regulars this
situation will be completely changed.
The retnforcements all have the caliber
30 rifle, which is practically just as coed
gun as the Mauser, while. in addition,
our regular troops are sharpshooters
almost to man. This is largely owing
W lhC ldCl that lOf years The
ammunition allowance in our small
army has been about Sc per man per
annum, an amount no European nation
has ever thought of spending. This
does not say that there are not many
excellent shots among the volunteers,
and though the war department has no
definite information ON the subject.
there is little doubt that the best shots
among the volunteers are armed with
the new rifles already, 1000 stands of
these arms having already been sent to
General Otis, while there are 5000 more
waiting his order at the Benicia ar
Senal.
There have been some reports recent
ly of the wounding of some of our men
by explosions of the Springfields and 1T
has been suggested in the war depart
ment that possibly this is the result of
trying the new smokeless ammunition
in these guns. But this is discredited
by the ordnance bureau, which says
that, although there have been ship
ments of smokeless ammunition for the
Springfelds it is not likely the volun-
teers have yet received it. In addition.
the charge of smokeless powder has
been accurately gauged so as not to
overtaX the resistance of the old Spring
field rifle.

A PROTECTORATE
Suggested by Barrett as a Solution of the
Philippine Problem.

Vancouver. B. c., March S.-Hon.
John Barrett, ex-United States minis
ter to Siam, In a recent address at
Hong Kong on the Philippine question,
said:
Judging from my own investigation
of the Philippine islands, the happiest
solution of the present problem would
be the careful establishment of a semi
independent protectorate, under the
general control or guidance of the
United States. Until the Philippines
shall prove their ability to stand alone.
the United States should reserve for
itself some port, like that of Subig, fer
a naval station and securing for itself
and other nations in the event of inde-
pendence extra territorial rights of jur
isdiction over nationals as we now have
in Japan, China. Siam, Persia and Tur-
key. I would lay special stress on this
point of extra territorial rights, as as
sisting in settling the Philippine ques-
ton, because l do not know of it hav-
ing been previously brought forward
in this connection, and because it would
avoid the most serious dangers of ma
tive or inexperienced authority and
rule"

A LIVELY ROW.
Bailey Narrowly Escapes Defeat in the
Texas Senate.

Austin, Texas, March S.-The senate
of the Texas legislature to-day had the
liveliest kind of a row over the consid-
GRAFTON of the house resolution indors-
ing Congressman Bailey in his action
in fighting against the seating of Joe
Wheeler in congress. An attempt was
made to kill the resolution by referring
it to a committee, which was defeated
by a close vote-13 to A. An amend
ment was then adopted providing that
the adoption should not be construed as
a reflection on Congressman Wheeler.
An amendment setting forth that the
adoption of the resolution should not be
considered as pledging the Texas SEN
ate to Bailey's support for United
States senator two years hence was
voted down by the close vote of 13 to IA.
After much speech-making, during
which senators expressed themselves as
being opposed to Bailey worshiping in
any such marked manner, the friends of
the resolution managed to get it adopt
ed by a hurried viva voce vote. thus
ending the controversy a a point where
Bailey was getting the worst of it.

Spokane, Wash, March S.-The rich.

predict the camp will have 5000 men
before midsummer and 10000 by the

up the bond, and Patrick Clark of this
city, president of the Republic COM
pany. Immediately took bond and
started experienced miners at work.

markably rich ore. and from SO pounds
of rock taken from the waste dump
and pounded out in hand mortar, IA
ounces of gold were taken.
