The following amendments were made
to the bill. on the motion Of Mr.. Hawley
OF Connecticut, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Military Affairs:
Appropriating $4,000 for clerk hire. sta
tiorery, furniture. etc. for the Army war
college.
Increasing appropriation for paymasters'
clerks at $l.400 each. from S126,000 to
Sl33, COO and fixing their compensation
thus Those who have served as sgch ff-
teen years. ST. 500. those who have served
ten years, 81 500: those who have served
five years. Sl5O0; and other paymasters
clerks. S14O0.
Fixing travelling allowances for officers
and men discharged in the island posses
sions at 4 cents a mile.
The clause for paying one months and
two months extra pay to the officers and
men Of the volunteer army, one months to
those who did not leave the States, and
two months to those who served in Porto
Rico. Cuba or the Philippine Islands. was
extended so as to include contract sur
geons.
Mr. Lodge moved to substitute for the
paragraph for a military telegraph and
cable line with Fort Egbert. Cape Nome.
and other military establishments in
Alaska. a paragraph in these words:
For the purpose Of establishing military tele-
graphic and cable lines to Alaska, S4j0,5J0.
The original paragraph makes the like
appropriation, but desgnates the route. and
the Senate Committee on Appropriations
had recommended striking it out
Mr.. Lodge said that his substitute did
not bind the Government to any route but
left the matter open to be arranged in con-
ference. And he spoke of the importance
Of keeping absolute control of the cable
route from Alaska to Asia. 1t would be a
great mistake he said. to allow a foreign
Government or company to establish such
a line, and he understood that there was
Canadian company established with
Government subsidy of $3.50. 900 a year.
The amendment was agreed to and Mr..
Lodge then moved to add to it a proviso
in these words:
Provided, That no telegraph or cable line owned
wholly or in part or operated or controlled BY
persons not citizens OF the United States or by
any foreign corporation or Government. shall be
established in or permitted TO enter Alaska
Mr. Bacon asked Mr. Lodge whether that
would also keep land telegraph lines from
running into Alaska, and MIR Lodge an
swered that il would. After a short col
loquy the prOyiso was agreed TO, and with
cut dispOsing of the bill the Senate, at $50
O'Clock. adjourned until today.

exhausted TO prevent partition Of the

It is pointed out, however, that in

kin, this government is II, a position to
demand commercial freedom in China
