Progressing Slowly but Steadily
 Orders to Gen. Miles.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The work of
 reducing the. military forces of the
 United States to a peace basis is pro-
 gressing slowly, but steadily. Orders were issued by Major General Miles to- day for the muster out of the Fourth Kentucky volunteer infantry, now in camp at Anderson, Ala. The Sixty ninth New York infantry is the only one of the volunteer regiments recently selected for honorable discharge that will be mustered out at it's home sta tion. The others will all be mustered out at their present stations in the south. The volunteers in the Philip pines are likely to be the first of those abroad selected for discharge. There will be no general discharge of regulars who enlisted till the war was over until after the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain. If no more reinforce ments are needed in Cuba and the Phil ippines between now and the first of February it is said on good authority that all the remaining volunteer organ izations now held in reserve in southern camps will be mustered out within the next few weeks.

PEACE TREATY IN SENATE
hEPORTED DURING SECRET SES-
 SION BY SENATOR DAVIS.
Unanimous Vote to Remove Injunction of secrecy-Sentiment in Favor of Opening Doors to Public During De- bate-Earliest Possible Consideration to be Asked

Washington, Jan. 11.--When the sen ate went into executive session this evening Senator Davis reported the peace treaty, stating that it had not been amended in any respect in the for eign relations committee. He moved that the treaty and the proceedings of the peace commission be made public. This motion led to debate. The discus sion was brief, however, and the mo- tion to remove the injunction of secrecy prevailed without division. Senator Burrows moved that the debate on the treaty should be conducted in open ses- sion, but the motion went over until to- morrow. There were only casual re- marks upon the policy of publicity and these were generally favorable to the removal of the secret injunction from the treaty and as generally opposed to the opening of the doors of the senate during the debate upon the treaty. Sen- ator Davis gave notice that he would ask for the earliest possible considera- tion, giving the impression that he would move to take up the treaty to- morrow.

NOW UNDER 4MERICIN FLAG. Steamers of NIenendez Line Engaged In
 Cuban Mail Service.

Santiago, Jan. 1.-The Merendez line
 of steamers, the most important Cuban
 coastwise mail company, to-day trans
 ferred all its vessels from the Spanish
 to the American flag, celebrating the event here at luncheon given on board
 the Josefita. The proceedings were marked by great enthusiasm. The heads of the various municipal depart- ments were present and Colonel Bea- com, adjutant general congratulated the Menendez company on the change of flag. Several toasts were proposed, the commodore of the line proposing the health of General Wood, military governor of the Santiago department The toast was received with cheers. In the course of his remarks, the commo- dore said that under General Wood they all felt absolutely safe, whatever flag they unfurled, as General Wood was not mere politician, and he hoped that the day would come when the mili tary governor of Santiago would be governor general of Cuba, a sentiment that was enthusiastically cheered. The jockey club will hold three day meet
 ing on Washington's birthday and the two days following, with horse racing, athletic sports and a football match. The Cubans are very anxious for the success of the venture,

H4RTARD ROWING MATTERS. of Students Opposed to the
 New system.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 11.-A meet ing of Harvard men interested in row ing was held in Massachusetts hall this evening to give chance for an ex- pression of opinion against the new rowing system which was to do away with the time honored class races. The meeting was not an authoritative one. The new agreement provides for the holding of class races early in the sea- son. After these races the members of the class crews will return to one or the other of the proposed rival rowing clubs and each club will organize three graded crews, indiscriminately of the class standing of their members. A persistent effort is now being made at Harvard to make rowing such popu- lar sport as it is at the English univer- sites.

added that the remarkable activity of trade in the United States after suc- cessful war and prospective new mar kets, together with abundant harvests, had created an unprecedented trade balance in favor of that country, which had already made itself felt on this side, and for the first time, he believed, it might be said that it was not Europe which had financed the United States, but New York which had financed Eu- rope. During the last few months the United States had lent a considerable amount of cash and it's discounts in London and Berlin and its power to ob- tain gold, hence for very large amounts whenever it chose must not be lost sight nf

IND ETERnIN1TE SENTENCE ACT. Interesting Legal Procaedings Over 1t
 in Massachu u setts.

Salem, Mass, Jan. 11.~Counsel for Clarence Murphy, the embedding cash fer of the Salem National bank, whose efforts in behalf of their client recently resulted in the declaration by the full
 bench of the supreme court of Massa-
 chusetts that the indeterminate sentence act under which Murphy was ordered to serve a term of not less than ten nor more than fifteen years in state prison, was unconstitutional, have filed exceptions to the re-sentencing Of the prisoner by Judge Sherman, last Sat urday Under the ruling of the su- preme court Murphy was brought here for new sentence and he was ordered to serve nine years ten months and twenty-one days.
 The prisoner takes exception to this sentence on the ground that he had al- ready been put in jeopardy for the same offence; that the court could not law fully sentence him to the, state pr's1n to said term, or to solitary coafne- ment; that the court could not lawfully re-sentence him in any manner and that the sentence was contrary to the con- stitution of the commonwealth of Mas sachusetts and the constitution of the United States The case will first go to the supreme court of the state and, failing there. will be taken to the su- preme court of the United States. Great interest is felt in this matter as scores of other cases sentenced under the in- act are indirectly involved. Murphy was found guilty of embedding $50, ,0o0 and was first sentenced May 29, 1896

FoRAKER CHAMPIONS EXPANSION.
Answers the Arguments of Hoar and
 PIntt in the Senate.


 Washington, Jan. 1l-A climax was reached to-day in the debate on the question of expansion which is in prog ress in the senate. Heretofore all the speeches with the notable exception of that of MT. Platt of Connecticut, have been in opposition to what is presumed to be the policy of administration with respect to the acquisition of the Philip pines. MT. Foraker of Ohio addressed the senate in opposition to the declara- tion of the Vest resolution that the United States had no constitutional power to acquire foreign territory to be maintained as colonies. While much of his speech was devoted to constitu- tional argument in support of the right of this country as a nation to acquire and govern outlying territory, he gave particular attention to the utteranceS that have been made in contravention of that position, especially those of Mir Vest and MT. Hoar. MT. Foraker has a clear, direct and forceful style of ora tory which commands attention. He is at his best in a running fire of debate and the frequency of interruptions to- day afforded him ample opportunity to elucidate his argument to the best ad vantage.
 He laid down the broad proposition that to adopt the Vest resolution was to declare that our fathers had brought forth a nation that was inferior to all other nations regardless of the gen. orally accepted idea that one nat on was the equal of another and all equally re- stricted. He maintained that the right to acquire territory was an inherent right of nationality and that as we had the right to make war and to enter into treaty agreemnts it followed logic- ally that we had the power to acquire territory by conquest and to assume the responsibilities that might accrue therefrom. MT. Foraker's strong asser- tion that the acquisition of the Philip pines was temporary in character cre- ated a sensation in the chamber. He maintained, however, that we had legal right to hold the islands perma- ,nently.
