Little Progress on Saturday, Most of
the Time Being Spent in Debate and
DeIiverance of EuIoGIes.
LHUGH RAISED BY JOHNSON
WHO ADROITLY GOT IN ANOTHER
LICK AT THE PRESIDENT.
GrOsvenOr Charged by Cnrmack with
Being the MOuthpiece OF the
Administration.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The outlook for
army legislation is better now than any time
since the House began consideration of the
Hull bill. Mr.. Hull himself is more conf
dent than ever of the final enactment of his
measure. AS it now stands it provides for
regular army with a minimum strength of
$1,000 and a maximum of 100000. Authority
is conferred upon the President to recruit
the army up to the maximum whenever in
his Judgment the public welfare requires it.
So far as the size of the army is concerned,
the bill is regarded as a moderate measure.
1t is not thought excessive to enlarge the
army from $500, the number fixed thirty
years ago, to $4,000, now that the population
is more than double what it was then. The
opposition to the bill in the House is mostly
confined to the Democrats, but there will be
enough of them to vote for it to offset
Henry U. Johnson and the other recalcitrant
Republicans The majority for the measure
in the House will, therefore, be large.
Mr. Hull, in reply to your correspondents
question, said emphatcally that the House
would accept no makeshift.
Suppose the Senate offers nothing bet
ter?" he was asked.
"Then there will be a special session."
declared Mr.. Hull.
The knowledge that the peace treaty will
be ratified without change is having consid-
erable effect in causing senators well
representatives to recognize the necessity
Of army reorganization and increase An
other consideration that is influencing con-
gIessional opinion is that the sooner the
regulars are increased to take their places
the sooner the volunteers will be mustered
out. The most important change in the bill
SO far is the striking out of the proposed
grade of lieutenant general. The idea un-
derlying this action by the House is that
this grade as well as that of general, should
be held, as they have been in the past, as
rewards for success in war. This leaves a
n ajor general, whose command is division,
as the highest grade in the army. This is
proper enough, unless our army is to have
that effective modern feature of military es-
tablishment, a general staff, whose chief
would command the army under the Presi-
dent. In this case it would be well to give
the chief of staff temporary rank higher
than that of major general

RICHARD CROKER AGAIN.
He FavOrs Expansion, but Not an Al
liance with England.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Richard Croker
discussing the subject of expansion last
night, said: I'VE have civilized this CONT
nent, which. one might say. but century
ago, was a primeval wilderness, inhabited
by savages as unpromising at least as the
Filipinos. What people but the American
people could have done this? None. 1 have
faith in Americas capacity to do anything
that any other nation can do-and to do
things that no other nation could do"
What would you think of an alliance
with England, or some other power, to car
ry out the American policy?"
Il am opposed to such alliances, and so
far as know, the sentiment of every man
in the political organization TO which I be-
long is opposed to them And | will say
this, that my mind is perfectly open to con-
slider events and conditions as they may de-
velop, and if at any time it appeared that
expansion meant alliances with England OF
any other European power l would be op-
posed to expansion. My opinions in favor
of expansion are based upon the assumption
that no power could interfere with us and
no combination could be made against us
necessitating an alliance with any Euro
pean power"
England seems to think an alliance with
her would be necessary"
England deceives herself. 1t is not the
first time she has made miscalcuIations
about America. America in the past has
not needed her menaces, as in the civil war,
or her cajoleries, as in other epochs, and
in my judgment it is those who are in favor
of expansion who are the strongest bulwark
against the danger of any foreign alliance.
L notice. however, among the opponents Of
expansion that names of men who have
heen generally to the front favoring meas
ures toward making American sentiment
trustful and favorable toward England

SATURDAYS DEBATE.
Little Headway Made with the BILL
One Amendment.

One Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The House to-
day continued consideration of the army re-
organization bill until o'clock, when the
members paid their tributes to the memory
of the late Representative Simpkins, of
Massachusetts. Very little progress was
made with the army bill. the only amend
ment adopted being that offered by the
committee to give veterinarians in cavalry
regiments the rank, pay and allowances of
second lieutenants. The time before the
eulogies began was chiefly devoted to
continuation of the debate on the advisa-
bility of retaining the Philippines.
At the opening of the session joint reso-
luton was adopted granting to the Republic
of Venezuela the privilege of sending
cadet to the West Point Military Academy.
Senate bill was passed authorizing the
construction of q bridge across the Missouri
river at Lexington, Mo.
Owing to the small attendance and brief
ness of the working day it was decided not
to offer for action to-day the amendments
to the army bill for the reduction of the
size Of infantry companies and cavalry
troops These were the amendments of
which Mr.. Hull gave notice yesterday.
Mr.. Todd (Dem., Mich.) offered an amend
ment providing for the recall of the mill
tary and naval forces of the United States
from the Philippines whenever the natives
should have established a stable and inde-
pendent government and declared that there
should be no Increase in the regular army in
time of peace, but authorizing the Presi-
dent to use the state militia and call for
volunteers when necessary. 1t was ruled out
on point Of order.
Speaking to a pro forma amendment Mr..
Handy (Dem., Del) said that he would
withdraw our troops from Manila before
hostile shot had been fired against the ma
tives who were standing out for liberty. He
would not like to witness another Bunker
Hill in which we would act the part of
invaders of liberty.
Mr.. Cannon CRep., Iu) raised laugh in
replying to aIr. Handy. He recalled the fact
that yesterday the gentleman from Delaware
had declared his belief that the army should
be withdrawn. He had been joined by Mr..
Todd. THAT makes two, Mr.. Chairman"
said Mr.. Cannon, "a pair. believe you could
draw TO every member of the House and not
make three of kind" Laughter and ap-
plausel

against SMILES which the average men,
Der fails to understand"
You are just about the average" re-
sponded Mr.. Cannon.
Mr. Bell (Pop., Col) read a letter from
a soldier recently returned from Manila In
which the writer said he was fed on horse
meat and wormy bread, and that 80 per cent.
of the American troops were anxious to re-
turn. Mr.. Bell argued that the pension
rolls would be increased many millions if we
attempted to hold the Philippines
Mr.. Loud tRep., Cali attacked the bill.
He charged that the proposed reduction of
the size Of the companies was mere subter-

Gomez NAV visit WASHINGTON.

NEW YORK, JAN 2S.-A special to the
Press from Washington says: Gen. Maxi
mo Gomez may come to Washington. The
suggestion has been made that a meeting
between the President and General Gomez
would be of great benefit to the situation in
Cuba General Gomez wishes to come. His
desire has been communicated to a United
States senator who visited Cuba year ago.
The communication was made this senator
in the hope that he might find some way OF
bringing about the visit. While Gomez
wishes to come to Washington, he hesitates
to start without some assurance that he
will be received by the President and will
be permitted to give his views upon the
policy to be pursued in the island"

son was given him orders 10 carry out and
the desired result was accomplished. It was,

fuge. and asserted that the committee should

fuge, and asserted that the committee should
recast 1t. Otherwise 1t could not pass.
Mr. Hull. in defending the course of the
committee, aroused the supporters of the
bin to wild applause. He denied that the
committee had surrendered. The committee
had, he said decided to offer the amend
ments before Mr.. Henderson made his
speech. If the bill was recommitted it would
not be on his notion but would be on a yea
and nay vote. [Applause.l
Mr.. Cannon again spoke in favor of the
bill.
Mr.. Walker (Rep., Mass) said he would
give $1eo, C00C0 if we were to-day we'll rid of
Porto Rico Cuba and the Philippines, but
he had rather give s504O00O00 than dlshon-
orably abandon either. The thing to 90 was
to confirm the treaty and then depart from
every one of them the moment we could
honorably do So This bill should be passed.
Mr.. Carmack Dem, TENN declared that
the responsibility for the death Of every
soldier in the Philippines should be laid at
the door of those who insisted on the pro-
posed imperialistic policy. He quoted ex-
Secretary John Sherman as favoring the
withdrawal from the Philippines "as soon as
we honorably could"
I'VE all believe in that" interposed Mr.
Walker.
Mr.. Carmack became engaged in a warm
controversy with Mr.. Grosvenor, whom he
charged with being the mouthpiece of the
administration.
Mr.. Grosvenor denied that he ever pre-
tended to speak for the President.
We'll" said Mr.. Carmack, "he carries the
odor Of the sanctlty Of the White House
about with him. He registers all the vary
ing moods and shifting opinions which take
place there"
Il don't believe it is possible for any man
to do that" interrupted Mr.. Johnson (Rep..
Ind), amid great laughter on the Republican
side.
The committee amendment to give veter-
inarians in cavalry regiments the rank, pay
and allowances of second lieutenants of cav
airy was then adopted.
At 2:15 p. m. the committee rose and the
remainder Of the day was devoted to eulogies
upon the life and public services of the late
Representative Slmpkins, of Massachusetts,.
At $3.50 p. m. the House adjourned until Mon
day.

TEST CASE IN OHIO.
May Result in shortening Terms of
Many County Officers.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 2S-Ex-C Congress-
man NJ A Foran and Attorney w j. Hart
will begin in the Ohio Supreme Court on
Monday a lawsuit which may shorten the
terms of the county commissioners. county
auditors, county recorders and county
clerks in all Of the eighty-eight counties in
the State. The case which will constitute
the test Is that whereby Commissioner
elect McKenney seeks to GUST Commissioner
Il. d. Brown in Cuyahoga county. In 1894
the clerk of one of the interior counties,
through the representations of the members
of the Legislature from that county, had
law passed changing the time of the be-
ginning of the terms of the offices named,
putting it ahead eight months. The law
went into effect at the end of the terms
then being served, the offices being filed
during the interim by appointment by the
county commissioners. In most instances
the old officers were appointed That was
the case with the clerk in question In his
county at that time there were a number
OF big lawsuits with heavy fees for the
clerk during the eight months. Last winter
the Legislature passed a similar law ap-
plying to the sheriffs, to go into effect Jan.
l. Sheriff Mcconnell, of Cuyahoga county,
was reelected last fall, but the commits
sioners decided to ignore him and appoint
ex-Recorder Fred Saal for the eight
months interim. Mcconnell appealed to the
courts and two weeks ago the Supreme
Court declared the law changing the term
of the office to be unconstitutional. The
law of 1894 involving the other county Off
cials is exactly the same in principle as
that which affected the sheriff, and Messrs.
Foran and Hart will attack its constitu-
tionality. If they win, which is almost a
certainty, it viii reduce by eight months
the term of every county commissioner,
recorder, auditor and clerk in Ohio. The
county commissioners of Ohio have state
organization, which will engage attorneys
