WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO.
Senator Lodges View of Probable
Legislation.

Il think" said Senator Lodge to a Star
reporter today, that the apportionment bill
and a bill reducing the war revenue will
probably be disposed of, but l mention these
as things reasonably certain
will the reapportionment include the re-
duction of representation in the south that
is being talked off" was asked.
Il think not the senator replied. 1T
is at least doubtful whether that will be
feature of the reapportionment."
How about legislation with relation to
the Philippines?'
The Spencer bill, giving the President
civil power until Congress shall have the
information upon which to act, just what
Jefferson was given with reference to Lou
isiana will probably be adopted. Congress
has not the informatio upon which to base
permanent legislation, and until such in
formation is had temporary provision for
civil government must be provided. 1 do
not see on what basis there can be opposi-
ton to this. If ever the policy Of an ad-
ministration was indorsed by the people
the course of this administration in the
Philippines has been indorsed.
After Congress has the complete report
of the Philippine commission, which l re-
gard as eminentiy capable, we shall know
what is proper to be done, and then there
will be legislation of a permanent char
acter. 1 believe the possession of the Phil
ippines is going to prove of great COM
large commerce will be developed in the
islands themselves, and, in my opinion
these Islands will play an important part IN
the development Of trade with China.

FoRTIFICATIONS AT GALVESTON.
Report of an Engineer Board Expect
ed at in Early Date.

The board of army engineers appointed to
investigate the condition Of the fortifica-
tons around Galveston and report the
advisability of their repair recOnstruc-
tion will hold a final meeting in New York
tomorrow. The report will be forwarded to
General Wilson, chief of engineers, at an
early date. 1t will not be made public until
the meeting of Congress- but will be pre-
sented on the first day of the session, with
a request for prompt action. The War De-
partment does not yet know officially just
what the recommendations OF the board
will be, but the work involved will necesSi
tate very large outlay of money, and will
be of immense Importance to Galveston,
and all of the contiguous gulf territory.
1t is known that the Galveston channel is
practically uninjured by the flood, although
the tops of the jetties have been washed
down in some places. GalveSton's natural
advantages as an immense shipping point
are unimpaired and it is assumed that the
reuIodeled fOrtification will be a scale
commensurate with the Importance of this

THE OUTLOOK IN NEBRASKA.
Col. Michael Believes the State Will
Remain Republican for Some Time.


Remain Republican for Some Time.
Col. William H. Michael, chief clerk of
the State Department. resumed his official
duties this morning, having returned from
his native state of Nebraska, where he rem
dered excellent service in behalf of the re-
publican ticket. Referring to political con-
ditions in that state, he said this morning
that he had received telegram from Mr.
Lindsay chairman of the state committee,
saying that the republicans had a cOnstitu-
tional majority of five in the legislature,
and that If they stood together they would
be able to control legislation on all subjects
He said that the people of Nebraska are
now more hopeful than ever before. They
don't like false prophets and gloomy pre-
dictions, preferring rather to look on the
bright side of life in general and state
affairs in particular.
Colonel Michael expressed the opinion
that the state is good for the republicans
for some time to come, and he added that
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn of the War
Department had as good a chance of cleo
ton to the Senate any of the other
candidates.

UNDER GIBRALTAR STRAIT.
Plan of a Parisian Engineer to Bore

Railway Tunnel.
A Partisan engineer has recently finished
a plan by which the Spanish railroads ter
minating in Gibraltar may be connected,
by means of a tunnel crossing under the
Strait of Gibraltar, with the railroad lines
of Morocco, according to information re-
ceived at the State Department from United
States Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz,
Germany. Several parties interested in
this scheme are now in Morocco trying to
obtain permission to build a railroad.
Technically the plan is said to be poss-
bility as it Is merely a question Of boring
through rock. Several plans of that nature
have been temporarily fostered, notably
the tunnel which was to connect France
with England from Calais under the Strait
of Dover to Dover on the British side and
the plan to bridge the Bosphorus, but both
of them have fallen through. 1t now
mains to be seen, says Mr.. Monaghan. how
far this new tunneling scheme will be car
ried forward and to what extent it will re-
ceive the support of capitalists.

McCALLA-COLWE DISPUTE.
A Court of Inquiry Will Look Into the

ship Commander Colwell had not been
long on the station, having been naval at

it necessary to appoint court of inquiry,

command and order him to the United

ber ~ our battery was better than the
battery of any other army in the campaign.
The German battery. just arrived, has some
featu es superior to ours. The powder
charge in case is fired with trigger IKE

COL. HARR1soN's DISCHARGE.
Its Ofncial Explanation by the War
Department.

Department.
1t is said at the War Department that no
change has been made in the case Of Lieut..
Col. Russell B. Harrison, inspector general,
U. S. ", stationed in Porto Rico, whose
honorable discharge from the army was
contained in the orders of last Friday The
official explanation of the department is
that the discontinuance of the military de-
partment Of Porto Rico removed the neces-
sity for an inspector general in that de-
partment; that all the military departments
in the United States are provided with Off
GERS Of that corps, and that it was mad
visable to send Lieut. Col. Harrison to the
Philippines at this late day, for the reason
that under the law all the volunteer officers
may have to be discharged from the service
by June 80 next. In unfriendly quarters,
however, 1t is boldly stated that Col. Har
rison's discharge Is an act of resentment
against his father. ex-President Harrison,
for his non-participation in the late presi-
Dental election.

a recent examination by a naval retiring
board. Capt. Strong was recently invalided

the third commander of that vessel to be
incapacitated since she went from San

rlanding the vessel was sunstruck ard died
at Manila In June, 1S99 and Capt. John J.
MCGOWAN. who succeeded him In command,
Was sent home broken in health early this
year. These cases are attributed to the
fardships of life on board the low-lNins
monitor. with its poor ventilation, IN the
debilitating climate of the Philippines. Capt.
Strong entered the navy from Massachu-
sets as a volunteer officer soon after the
beginning of the civil war, in 1862, and has
