THE VOLUNTEERS
In Philippines May Be De-
layed in Returning.
Failure Of Congress to Relieve Situa-
ton Complexities Matters.
Sec. Long Will Avail. Legislation, Which Is e.
pcctcd in January.

Washington, Dec. 2i.-As a result Of
a conference between the secretary OF
war and Quartermaster General Lud-
! inStOn ii has been decided that no fur
ther action can be taken with regard
10 the return of the volunteers from the
Philippines until Congress shall make
provision for their replacement
The war department is considerably
embarrassed by the failure OF Congress
to make provision before the recess for
the relief of the military situation in
the Philippines. Acting upon rcpresen-
tations made by Gen. Macarthur, the
, department has concluded that it is
absolutely necessary to maintain an
army Of $1,000 men in the PHILIPPINES
until the current policy Of establishing
municipal government throughout the
archipelago has been executed. IL Is
stated at the department than any re-
dUction of the military strength below
that figure under existing conditions
would undoubtedly prove most dsas:
trous to the interests Of the United
States.
There are now about 50, 600 troops
regulars and volunteers, III the Philip
pines and arrangements have been
already for bringing home 5000 Of that
number. No further reduction will BE-
made until the war department il ad-
vlscd fully Of the purpose Of Congress
with regard to army legislation. When
the necessary authority has been given
it is the purpose Of the department t.
bring home as rapidly az possible all
the volunteers and regulars whose
terms Of enlistment expire on the goth
Of June next. but not before il is pos
sib!e to replace them man for man
with new recruits enlisted under tho
terms Of the new army bill. 1t there
fore appears that after the 5000 volun-
tecr5 have left the Philippines. no more
troops viii be Withdrawn from that
country. until they can be relieved by
fresh troops recruited in the Unite ]
States in accordance with legislation
yet 10 be enacted.
II II expected that Congress viii ACT
promptly on the army bill soon after
ii reassemblcs in January, but even in
that event. it is said II the war depart
ment, il will not be possible 10 get tho
fresh troops 10 the Philippines inside of
two months time.
The general home coming movement
~ the mass ~ volunteers therefore viii
have to be postponed until about the
first of February. That will give the
quartermaster's department but five
months time to bring home the remain

before the first Of July. This under

MUST FIGHT IT OUT,
States Attorney General viii Prob
ably Take No Part in KenOsha's
Street Railway War.
DECISION IN CASE WITHHELD.
But There Is Little Doubt but That the
Attorney Will Decide That the Suit
Must Be a Private Suit.

Assistant States Attorney Buel, of
Milwaukee, held court in the states
attorneys office in Madison yesterday
for the purpose of hearing the argu-
nents of the attorneys in the quo
warranto proceedings recently brought
against Messrs. Haynes and Clausen
by H. S. VanIngen of this city to have
the promoters ousted from any rights
they may claim to hold in KenOSha.
While the decision of the attorney
general is withheld at present, after
the argument was over Mr.. Buel in
timatcd that the states attorney would
not bring the action. He insisted that
the matter was personal one between
Mr. Van Ingen and the street railway
company and urged that the suit
shou1n be brought by Mr.. Van 1ngen
and not by the attorney general acting
for the state. The points in the case
were ably argued. Senator ]. V.
Ouar1es appeared for the petitioner in
The matter and argued at length in
regard to the law of the state in regard
10 street railways and the points made
Al the complaint Oh MI du IuSSu'
In reply Attorney G.. Z. Mcdowell
appeared for the promoters and put up
q splendid argument in favor of their
rights. Mr.. Mcdowell also presented
many applications to show that the
company had not violated any of the
rights supposed to be granted them i'll
the franchise. At the conclusion the
assistant Attorney General took the
matter under advisement and stated
hat it had every appearance of a per-
8onal suit and for this reason he indi-
Gated that the State Attorney General
could not bring the suit in his own
name. The attorney limited that it
was possible that the suit might be
brought in the name of the State if
Mr.. VanIngen, the petitioner, would
be able to give security for the costs OF
the action. but his main opinion was
that the suit should be brought by Mr..
VanIngen himself.
The action of the assistant States
Attorney General will be regarded as a
victory for the Street Railway COM
pany and will give the attorneys for
the company more courage in their
fight against the other suits pending
against the company.
