ABOUT OUR SOLDIERS.
Wolfe called up his Joint Resolution
| IA, relative to the First Regiment of
California Infantry, United States
Volunteers, and which urges Congress
men to use all their efforts with the
War. Department to secure the imme-
diate recall and discharge of the SOL
diers comprising the regiment in ques-
ton, which since May of last year has
been stationed at Manila.
Bulla, Morehouse and Rowel opposed
the resolution. holding it to be bad pol
icy for the State to interfere with the
military arm of the Federal Govern
ment.
Wolfe, in defense of his resolution,
Sclu lIt1l lilc SdlllOIIlld DOyS Udu given
good account of themselves at Ma
Mia; that there is much sickness among
them, and that many of the parents and
friends of the soldiers desired their re-
turn.
Boyce and Smith opposed the resolu-
ton, the latter saying that the boys of
the Sixth Regiment had wanted the job
but were crowded out by the First Reg
iment. IT, he said the boys of the
Sixth Regiment had gone to Manila, its
members would not now have represen-
tatives before the Senate asking that
they be helped out of the scrape. They,
he said, were lighters
Wolfe retorted that he had Smith S
word for it that the boys of the Sixth
were lighters whereas the records
showed the boys of the First to be such.
Braunhart also favored the adoption
Of the resolution. He attacked the
War Department for its treatment of
the soldiers at the front, and referred
to the fact that Senator Hoar and other
Republican leaders were making de-
mands similar to that set out in the
petition
Smith opposed the resolution, and
Sfortridge who said he had at first
| been opposed to it, afterwards in favor
of it, and at the time Of speaking was
ION the fence demanded to hear the
resolution read again. 1t was read ac-
cordingly, and the Senator from the
prune district spoke in favor of its
adoption.
Smith said if the resolution in any
way reflected on the administration of
President Mckinley he could not OPP
pose it too strongly.
Braunhart also took another turn at
oratory, urging the adoption of the res
olution.
Davis offered an amendment striking
out the following: ITO use their best
efforts to secure an order for the return
of our boys to their homes and families
| without any delay" and inserted the
following: That when in the opinion
of the military authorities, troops can
be spared from the operations in the
! Philippine Islands, they use their best
efforts to secure the privilege that our
| boys be the first allowed to return to
their homes and families
Boyce spoke again, this time favoring
the amendment, and Wolfe closed the
debate, accepting the same.
The resolution as amended was adopt
ed by unanimous vote. The full text
