he delivered against the president and

philippe heard in the house for
months. He sneered at the president
and the influences which he alleged con-
trOl!ed him. impugned his motives
questioned his sincerity, and likened him
to Dickens most contemplate charac-
ter; charged his secretary of war with
incompetency, and predicted that the
president would in the end be engulfed
by adverse public sentiment.
Among his most notable utterances
were the following: Referring to AIger
he said the president Ito reward him for

COMPROMISE ARMY MEASURE.
Text of the Section That Covers the In
crease of the Military.

Washington Feb. 25.-The senate
committee on military affairs reported
the compromise army reorganization
bill just before adjournment of the SEN
ate at $50 j. III. The bill had been
framed a the war department Thursday
night by the officials Of that department
and number of senators and was I'M
der consideration by the senate commit
tee and its subcommittee during the
greater part OF the day. The formula
ton of the compromise was placed in
the hands of Hawley and Carter of the
military committee on behalf of the Re
publicans and Cockrell in the interest of
the Democrats. They met at 10 O'Clock
yesterday and continued quite constant
" in session. Colonel Carter, of the
army. sat with them for the purpose of
supplying technical information. The
subcommittee had ii in charge until
4:20 o'clock. when the full committee
met. The committee made a number Of
changes and after sitting of two hours
reported the bill to the senate.
In the new bill one section covers the
entire increase of the army and it reads
as follows: That to meet the present
eXiSencies Of the military service the
president is hereby authorized to main
tain the regular army at a strength of
not exceeding G5. 0G0 enlisted men, TO be
distributed amongst the several
branches of the service according to the
needs of each, and raise force of not
more than $4,000 volunteer infantry. as
he may determine. from the country at
large under general law. or from the To-
calities where their services may be re-
quired, with regard to citizenship or ed
ucational qualifications. and to form the
same into not more than thirty regi-
ments organized as infantry regiments

The president does not appear to
have been at all abashed by this in
i congruous circumstance, but he arose
from his seat and there. within the
shadow of the monument of Bunker
Hill, where Warren fell fighting for
| liberty. and within a stones throw of
Faneuil Hail. where time and again the
true sons OF the old Bay State have sent
forth 70 the country their messages of
freedom. he delivered perhaps the most
remarkable, certainly the most dis
ingenious. address that ever fell from
the lips of an American president.
This address. Invested of its verbiaC e
considered apart from its platitudes
AID the ostentatious profession of virtue
with which it was interlarded. was
nothing more nor less than carefully
devised and stu6iouS misstatement of
the issue between the chief executive
and those OF his own party who ara
opposed TO his wretched policy in the
PhflipDireS We are told sjr
that this address was received with an
enthusiastic applause by those who
heard it, but we who read il in cold
print in the light of the indefensible
tragedy now being enacted near the
shores OF Asia involuntarily think of
that creation Of Charles Dickens who
was accustomed to roll his eyes piously

osIentation to those about him Ny

whom he named Charity and the other

During the debate Hull read as part of
his remarks on army reorganization bill
similar to the enc agreed upon as a
compromise. The general debate on the
army appropriation was closed. At the
night session seventy-seven private pen
sion bills were passed.

CALLED A ~CoMIC OPERA COUP"
VIII Firmly Seat President Loubet and
Help Dreyfus Revision.

Deroulede's comic opera coup is
destined to cover himself and his league
with ridicule. 1t was the one thing
wanted to give President Loubet firm
seat and has probably helped the cause
OF Dreyfus revision more than anything
else that has taken place for some
time. The serious apprehensions long
entertained of a tragedy issue of the
Dreyfus affair all hinged upon a fear
that the army might, out of revenge,
be induced to forget its loyalty to the
republic.
The revisionists regarded General
Roget as one of their staunchest sup
porterS. owing to the part he played in
the Dreyfus affair. Thus il happened
as he did not reply to Deroulede's first
appeal, but continued marching in the
direction of the Elysee, the patriots
jumped to the conclusion that their OBJ
ject was attained and surged AROUND
the marching soldiers with triumphant
shouts. They were speedily unde-
ceived. and Deroulede becomes a sad
der and possibly a wiser man. The pub
lie breathes freely now that it is seen
that the army is in no mood to counten-
ance anti-RepubIican movements. and
the whole thing will end farcically with
a short imprisonment for Deroulede and
a useful lesson to the Beaurepaires
Copies and others of that ilk.
Gen. Rogets conduct is unanimously
praised. Deroulede still manfully sticks
TO his guns. He has written Dupuy TO
declare that he was arrested for
haranguing the troops. after having
attempted to bring them with him. and
that any other version is falsehood- He
asserts that he is determined not to
shield himself behind any ambiguity.
Thus. according to his own admission.
he is liable to Imprisonment for life:
but the authorities do not desire to give
him the halo of martyrdom. Therefore
he will escape more easily

Washington. Feb. 25.-After a session
of nearly eight hours yesterday the SEN
ate at $50 last evening passed the
river and harbor bill by the decisive
vote Of 20 20 3 The sharpest contest
arose over the Nicaragua canal bill
amendment. \ point Of order was made
against il that il was general Iegisla-
tion. but the senate. 10 which the vice
PRESIDENT submitted the point. over
ruled il. l. was then attacked as not
being relevant TO 4 river and harbor
measure. but this. too. was overruIed
by the senate. Pettigrew, Rawlins of
Utah and Teller vigorously attacked the
bill. their opposition being directed es-
peCially against the canal amendment.
The statement was made that the meas
ure would never see the light of day in
the house, and that the canal would not
be built under the proposition inserted
in the bill.
SewcII Looks for Lots of Trouble.
The most interesting feature Of the
session. however was the speech
Of SeweH of New Jersey in sup
port of an increase Of the army. in which
he declared that the United States was
TOW as much at war in the Philippines
as il was with Spain when our army was
before Santiago. Il never was in favor
Of the acquisition of the Philippines
said SeweH. Il said to the president the
day after Dewey's magnificent victory
IN Manila bay For Gods sake order him
sway from there - Sewell then stated
mis- reasons fox rot desiring the Pacific
Islands he said that he had visited
them and was satisfied from personal
observations that they and their inhabi-
tants Were not desirable acquisitions to
This country. He declared that il would
take an army of from $4,000 10 10000 10
maintain out control in the Philippines
Cubans Turbulent People"
In his opinion 10000 men would be re-
quired in Cuba and several thousand in
Porto Rico. II reply TO a question of
Foraker he said: We have had peacein
Cuba because we have had large force
there. Those people are a turbulent
people. They Will have revolutions con-
stantly. l believe We shall have a war
with them after a while"
Foraker-I do rot think we will.
SewelI-I do. But that is q question
about which the senator and l differ.
Continuing his argument Sewell said:
We cannot go outside of our lines in
the Philippines. The situation is seri-
Gus. Those people who are turbulent
and intractab!e must be put down. If 1
were the president 1 would send a force
there that would be sufficient to put
them down sharply and quickly"

suit of a Break the Night Following
Faure's Funeral-His Desire for Mar
tyrdom Likely To Be Dissppointed-Has
Helped Loubet and Captain Dreyfus.
Paris. Feb. 25.-The demand made up
on General Roget Thursday night by
Deroulede that the general march his
troops on the Elysee. which was one or
the reasons. for Deroulede's arrest that
night. has resulted rather disastrously
TO Deroulede. who is liable for trial by
the senate on a charge OF treason. Be
sides Deroulede Marcel Habert and
Millevoye were also arrested. but Mile
voye is at liberty again. while the two
others are in the Prison de la Sante. In
the chambers yesterday President De-
schanel announced that he had received
request to prosecute Deroulede anG
Marcel Habert. The statement was
greeted with cries of Read it," The
president then read a letter from the
public prosecutor. according to which
General Roget deposed that a band of
men headed by Deroulede and Habert
followed his brigade and entered the
court yard of the barracks occupied by
the troops.
Deputies Will Be Prosecuted.
Daroulede and Habert, the general
further deposed. questioned the officers
and refused to leave when requested to
do so. Therefore they We're arrested and
confessed they wished to lead the troops
into a revolutionary movement and tn
replace the parliamentary republic by
a plebiSCite republic" CUproarD The
two deputies mentioned We're then re-
moved TO the police station. The public
prosecutor then asked for authority to
= ~
charge of attempting to turn the troops
from their duty. After some discussion
the chamber decided to appoint COM
mittee TO consider the case. and the
committee appointed was favorable to
prosecution. At its meeting prosecution
was decided upon by the committee.
Charged with Attacking the Republic.
The chairman of the committee pre-
scented a report unanimously approving
Of the prosecution of NM. Deroulede
and Habert and also approving of keep
ing them in custody. The report added:
IF the facts adduced are true they can
not be too vigorously condemned. as they
constitute an attack on the republic and
injury to the army" (Applause) Cas-
telin said he would not oppose the pros
ecution of the deputies, as he believed
the accused themselves desired to be
prosecuted. The chamber by show of
hdl4CS dullOIlZeu the prosecution OF the
two deputies.
Says Word for His Brother.
DerOulede's brother, in the course OF
an interview, said that though the po-
lice had searched the formers house
they had seized no papers. My broth
err he added, lis carried away by his
enthusiasm for the army: and his be-
havior must not be regarded as the out
come of any plot The police have af-
fixed seals to the residence of NJ. Mar |
eel Habert and the headquarters of |
the League de Patriots. The league hav-
ing been forbidden to meet in the Rue |
St Haul, a crowd of patriots collected /!
and began demonstration which /
brought on a conflict with the police. |
Several patriots were arrested for as
saulting a police officer.
