the Spanish because they blew Up the

Captain Taylor said the coasts must be
protected and our interests outside of home
waters looked after Somewhere on the
south coast of Cuba the country would have
to locate a naval base fitted for big events.
The war had a great bearing on the con-
struction of the canal from ocean to ocean.
The canal would have to be built as a COM

it must be guarded for the world by the
United States The war opened the field for
Us, and 1t would be our own fault If we did
rot take advantage of what we had gained.
The Philippines had been won for us by Ad-

confidence that the government would do
what was right and wise. We had reached
out and our future naval base would not
be the coast of California. 1t had been a
brisk war, and every man in the navy felt
satisfied because that which had to be done

MR.. CHAMBERLAIN AGAIN
HE SEES FRESH SIGNS OF ANGLO
AMERICAN GOOD FEELING.
4 Noteworthy Fact, He Says, Was the
test Against French Aggression.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the col
onies, speaking this evening at the banquet
merce, reviewed al great length the various
threatening foreign questions confronting
the government. In connection with the
withdrawal of the French demand for an
extension of the settlement at Shanghai,
Mr.. Chamberlain congratulated his hearers
that Great Britain's opposition to the
French proposal had been strenuously sup
ported by the representative of the United
States. THAT 1 think, he said, els a sig
nifcant and noteworthy fact. Nay, l think
and hope it will become history 1t shows
community of interests between Anglo
SaxOns, which, in the future, may have far
reaching and beneficent results" He well
coined the changing tone on the part of
France. declaring that if the French govern
ment desired an amicable settlement of all
remaining difficulties Great Britain would
meet France more than half way.
In concluding Mr.. Chamberlain paid a
high tribute to the success of Lord Sails
bury's foreign policy, remarkng: ut is
cause for satisfaction that two great
nations, Germany and the United States
both prOtectiOniSts at home, have proclaimed
their intention to adhere to the principle of
the open door in their foreign possessions
we snail regard their expansion without
jealousy and shall welcome their co-opera-
ton, and | think. without being too SAN
guine, we may rely upon their sympathy and
assistance in securing the general adoption
of a principle to which we attach so much
importance

WAY SUCCEED pINGLEY.
Serene r.. Payne Likely 10 BE Floor
Leader of the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-There is no
doubt that the craftsmanship of the ways
and means committee made vacant by the
death Of Mr. Dingley will be filed by
Speaker Reed at the present session, with
out waiting for the next Congress. and that
the new chairman will be Representative
S. +. Payne, Of New York. The appoint
ment is likely to be announced within the
next few days. The ranking member of the
ways and means committee is Mr.. Payne,
and while this is not decisive. it establishes
strong presumption that Mr. Payne will
be chosen. Next to him on the committee
is Mr.. DalZell, of Pennsylvania, who IS a
present absent from the city. but whose
friends of the Pennsylvania delegation stat
ed to-day that they believed he would not
as against Mr.. Payne. Mr.. Hopkins, of HI
inOis. next I'm rank to Mr. DalZel. is con-
sidered debarred from the Craftsmanship by
reason of the important chairmanships
which the Illinois delegation already en-
joys. Aside from the personal question,
some doubt has existed as to the purpose ct
Speaker Reed to act at all at the present
session, as such a short time remained of
the session that il was thought he would
leave the determination of the matter until
the new Congress assembled. But there is
no further doubt on that point, and the
Craftsmanship will be filled at the present
session.
Mr. Payne entered Congress fifteen years
ago, and nd served continuously with the
exception ofIthe Fiftieth Congress. He took
active interest in tariff work and assist
ed i'm framing the Mckinley and Dingloy
bills and the war revenue bill. BY virtue of
the Craftsmanship, Mr. Payne viii also be-
come the floor leader of the House.

TERRE HAUTE REFORM.
Citizens Want u New Charter and IA
New Deal All Around.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 49, - The
Council last night voted IS to to prepare a
bill to be introduced in the Legislature for
a special charter for this city. special
committee reported that it would effect a
saving and that city work would be done in
a more satisfactory manner. The committee
was instructed to prepare a bill, but there
is really no sincere purpose to secure the
legislation. That is admitted by those who
on the inside, but the people Of the city
have suddenly become strongly convinced
that there should be some change in the
government of Terre Haute to bring about
a saving to the taxpayers and establishing
a more responsible form of government. This
demand was stimulated by the recent in
crease in the tax rate to $l22. The commit
tee reported that under existing circum-
stances" it might endanger the passage of
a new charter if it changed the police de-
partment at once and that it should be pro-
Vided that the clause comforting the power
OF appointment on the mayor should not go
into effect until the expiration of the term
of Mayor Steeg in 1902 This means that the
Democratic majority in the Council fears
that otherwise the Republicans would defeat
the law at Indianapolis, for the reason that
the present Police Board appointed by the
Governor is Republican. whereas if Mayor
Steeg made the appointments he would APP
point a majority of Democrats.

LACKS MEN AND SHIPS.
Secretary Long Cannot Re-EstabHsh
Naval stations Abroad.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-With much re-
greet Secretary Long has discovered that he
will be unable for an indefinite period to
carry out his project for the re-establish-
ment of the United States naval stations
abroad, which were abandoned before the
war. The reason is sweeping: A lack of
ships officers and enlisted men. This will
be a distinct disappointment to some of the
officers of higher rank, who were confident
of obtaining commands of squadrons. but
from present appearances the department
will not be able to send single ship to
serve as a basis of either the European. or
the South Atlantic squadrons. 1t is be-
lieVed to be absolutely essential to MAIN
tain the North Atlantic squadron in good
condition and at full strength for reasons
of sound international policy, but Admiral
Sampson will sail for the southern cruise
with a less numerous and formidable force
than was commanded by Admiral Bunce
when he served in a like capacity. To make
ready the Newark for this cruise. the de-
partment was obliged to put the Dixie out
OF commission. and thus to abandon It's
purpose of making very much needed
survey of the Cuban coast. There is only
one vessel, the PHILADELPHIA. on the whole
western coast Of the United States, nc
withstanding the great interests there eX-
posed. and the department sees no way at
present Of improving that condition.
