BILE work Of the appropriations committee.

RETURN OF THE VOLUNTEERS.
Considered Likely That More Trans.
ports Will BE Chartered.

In view of the approaching return of the
volunteer troops from the Philippines, the
War Department has been figuring on
transportation facilities at the command Of
the government. There are now two trans
ports a month touching at San Francisco
from Manila, which, with the extra char
tered vessels at command, will make it
possible to send back about three regi-
ments month without chartering extra
vess,is. The Fitzpatrick and the Buford
are now on their way to the orient by the
Suez route, SO that they will be soon added
to tn available vessels on the Manila sta
ton. Assuming that the army reorganiza-
ton bill is put through Congress by the
1st of February, which is considered abCNt
the earliest date possible, and that the re-
turn movement commences about the same
date, 1t would leave five months for the
return of the volunteers and the short-term
regulars. At the rate Of three regiments Il
month this would get only about half OF
the troops in question back to the states by
the Both of June.
1t is therefore considered likely that a
number of additional transports will have
to be chartered for the movement, especial
ly If It begins later than the 1st of Feb
ruary. The department has been steadily
reducing the force in the Philippines, how
ever, by sending home all soldiers VINO
were even slightly incapacitated and whose
prospect of returning to active duty in a
how much this policy has reduced the
number Of men to be brought home cannot
be ascertained at the War Department at
this lime.

NAMED THE NEVADA,
Monitor No. 8, Formerly known

Monitor No. 8, Formerly known as
the Connecticut.
Monitor No 8, formerly known as the
Connecticut, building at the Bath Iron
Works, Bath, Me, has been renamed the
Nevada by Secretary Long, in honor of the
great silver state of the far west. The
state authorities of Connecticut considered
that their commonwealth was entitled to
the dignity of a battle ship In naval no.
menclature, especially as its small neighbor,
Rhode Island, had been SO honored, and
consequently declined the compliment be-
slowed by the Secretary of the Navy in
naming one Of the four large monitors now
under construction in honor of the state.
There are four of these modern monitors,
each Of which is named after state, as
follows: Arkansas. Florida, Wyoming and
Nevada. Under the system adopted by the
Navy Department battle ships and monitors
are named after states. The selection of
monitors for such distinction was due to
the fact that there are TOO few battle ships
to 90 round the union Of states, and moni-
tors. which are in fact armored vessels
were added 10 the list of ships for states
Connecticut having declined to accept
monitor namesake, 1t Is now repre-
sented in the Naval Register only by the
historic frigate Hartford. recently remod-
eled into training ship.

HOUSE MILITARY COMMITTEE
CHAIRMAN HULL WILL CALL A
MEETING AFTER THANKSGIVING.
Will Try and Complete the Army Bill
and Get 1t to Senate Be-
fore Holidays.

81 shall call meeting of the military af-
fairs committee right after Thanksgiving" :"
said Chairman Hull of that committee to a
Star reporter today. My desire is to have
the committee get TO work on the bill for
the army as soon as possible and get 1t over
to the Senate before the holidays.
81 don't want the Senate to plead lack of
time for consideration of the bill, and there
is no reason why we should not pass
thorough and practical law. 1t ought not
ID be makeshift, to be gone over again at
some other session.
1.-The suggestion has been made that We
re-enact the present law and limit it to two
years. Well, If the administration is salts
fled with that it can be done in two hours
for every democrat would vote for it.
Il only arrived last night, and until 1
have a talk with the President and officials
of the War Department and ascertain the
views of the administration l cannot say
what the committee is likely to do.
His own Ideas.
MY own ideas are very positive upon the
subject. l would give the President all the
men that the country's interests need. l
advocate a military bill which will put the
army on modern basis; which will provide
an artillery arm for the great coast de-
fense establishment are building up. 1
would make it so the President can have a
force sufficient for emergency, with power
to deduce it when there is no further demand
for its continuance. regular army, with
a maximum of $4,000 men and a minimum
of $1,000, would meet the requirements.
'The people Of this country are not afraid
of an efficient regular army. 1t will be
made up of their own boys. but II 1t were
not, they would still not be afraid of it.
In my district, every town has boys In the
army. No one is afraid of 'militarism' out
there. In fact, in my run for Congress. 1
stood squarely up for good regular army.
explained it to my people, and they in
dorsed my position by giving me an in
creased majority.
If Bryan Had Been Elected.
IF Bryan had been elected. the demo-
Gratis would have favored an army fit for
the times. They would have passed a good
bill and justified it by the claim that they
could trust Mr.. Bryan and would not be
afraid of an army under him. Well, we
can trust Mr.. Mckinley and 1 hope our
folks will quit apologiZing for the neces-
sity of an adequate military force and
ccme right out for a proper bill. The
country will uphold 1t. and 'militarism'
doesn't scare them little bit"
