The Army Reorganization BILL

Washington, April 30-Members of
the senate committee on military af-
fairs are making earnest efforts to
obtain consideration for the army
reorganization bill that will permit
its passage this session. The out
look is not promising, as the demo-
Gratis are opposed to army legislation
of any sort, and serious-minded re-
publicans like Allison, OF Iowa, and
Mcmillan, of Michigan, are doubtful
of the expediency of pushing the sub
ject until next winter. Much of the
opposition to army reorganization
has emanated from the various staff
officers in the departments. We're It
not for this and the political con.
siderations on both sides of the cham
Der the reorganization bill would be
regarded with favor.

KANSAS WHEAT CROP.
The Sunhower State Has the Most PrOmIs-
Ing Prospects and Bids Fair to Raise
Over OO.OOO, 900 Bushels.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 3o.-Kansas
will 90 into the month of May with
the most promising crop prospects
that were ever known at this season
of the year. The wheat on almost s.
100000 acres is waving in the wind a
foot to two feet high, with plenty of
moisture in the ground and perfect
crop conditions on nearly every acre
of the entire area. Nothing adverse
has happened to the crop so far this
year. There are no destructive in
sects in the fields. There has been no
winter killing, and no damage to the
plant from any other cause, and Kan
sas now has prospect of raising
more than 100,O00,000 bushels of
wheat-how much more no one will
ever know even If the crop should
maintain to maturity its present per-
feet condition, for, when crop esti-
mates reach such high figures the crop
reporter has to stop short for want of
credulous public to believe him.

GERMANY IS WARNED.
Secretary Roots Assertion About
UNFOLDING the Monroe Doctrine.
REPORT OF PHILIPPINES COMMISSION


Washington, April 3O.-Secretary
Roots sensational declaration at the
Grant dinner that the American gov
eminent will soon lie called upon to
forcibly uphold the Monroe doctrine
was leveled, it is said by administra-
ton officials, at the government
whose eyes are fixed upon the terri
tory of the western hemisphere--Ger-
many Coming from the secretary of
war, the statements he made are re-
garded here as of grave import ana
they occasioned considerable com
ment on the part of members OF the
diplomatic corps. II Is hoped by the
administration that Germany will
| heed the warning which the secretary
of war has so adroitly given. There
have been straws which have reached
the state department to indicate the
trend of her ambition with respect to
the western hemisphere. II is known,
for instance, that Germany would
like to have acquired by lease or pur-
chase the Danish West Indian islands,
and Herr Won IIolleben, the German
ambassador here, has kept his govern
ment well informed as to the devel-
opments in the negotiations for their
purchase by the United States. In
some quarters there is disposition
to charge the German government
with responsibility for the failure Of
the negotiations.
Report Of Philippines Commission.
Washington, April 3O.-The re-
port of the Philippines commission is
at last completed. The second volume
has been handed to Secretary Hay by
COL DENLY. The first volume, cover
ing general discussion of the Phil
ippines question, was made public
about two months ago. The volume
now ready contains about 1000 pages,
and gives the testimony taken by the
commission in Manila. For several
months President Schurman, Prof.
Worcester and Col. DENLY took test-
mony in Manila. Friars, Jesuits, ma
tive priests, business men; in fact,
| representatives of every class of citi-
Gems were heard. This testimony is
exceedingly interesting. It presents
the views of Filipinos and spaniards
long resident in the islands, rather
than the views OF the American COM
mission The friars presented their
case, and those who opposed the friars
were also heard. Every kind Of bust
ness in the archipelago was repre-.
sented among the witnesses.

RED HOT TIME WITH TRAIN ROBBIE RS
Baffled by the Engineer With Booty Almost
Within Their Grasp.
(By the Associated Press.)

Long View, Texas, June 1.-THE North
bound Cannon Ball. train on the In
ternational and Great Northern was held
up after midnight. near Prices switch,
so miles south of this city
pile of ties was placed on the track
and as the train came to stop three
masked men climbed into the engine.
They forced the engineer and fireman to
uncoupe the mail baggage and express
cars and pull them out two miles from
the remainder of the train. The robbers
then commanded Express Messenger
Rutherford to open the door of his car.
Failing to get any response the robbers
made Fireman Love break hole in the
end of the car
While this was being done, the fireman
begged the messenger and baggage master
not to shoot. The messenger, who was
well protected by a barricade, said he
would kill the first man to enter the hole.
Love was forced in and the messenger
fired past his head barely missing the
robbers, who then undertook to kill
Rutherford by shooting through the side
of the car.
In the confusion Engineer Rich crawled
away to his engine pulled the throttle
wide open and left the robbers behind. A
quick run was made to Jacksonville,
fifteen miles north, where bloodhounds
were secured to chase the robbers.

ADAMS ATTACKS THE AMENDMENT.
He Says That Section Four Will Fall and Five
Stand.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Asheboro, n. c., June 4.-Spencer
Adams and Zeb Walser spoke to about
two hundred people, of whom about fifty
were Democrats, and about half of the
balance negroes. Adams said that,
Democrat called him decent Republican
but did not give the mans name. He
said section five would fall and four would
stand Old grey haired and decrepid Con-
federate soldiers would have to read and
write before they could vote under the
amendment. Every man after 1902 would
have to be able to read and write before
he could register. Negroes would go to
town and educate themselves in graded
schools, and your boy would remain at
home and work in ignorance. Nearly one
hundred thousand whites did not vote in
Louisiana the last election. Walser made
a reckless unprincipled and prejudiced
speech; said never in his recollection had
the Democrats had a State chairman eX
cept from the East Adams and Walser
both spoke without reference to facts and
made many false impressions.

ADJOURNMENT PROBABLE WEDNESDAY
S5,0O0,0oO Appropriated For the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington June 4.-The House today
agreed to the Senate amendment to the
Sundry Civil Bill appropriating $5,o0O,OOo
for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
at St. Louis. There was not word of
debate on concurrence in the amendment
It's opponents contented themselves with
demanding roll call which resulted 1911
ayes to rs noes in favor of the appropria-
ton. The House also agreed to the Sen
ate item for the Mississippi River, with
an amendment reducing the appropriation
to $3.50, 900 and adding a provision for
the preparation of comprehensive re-
port on the levee system by the Mississ-
ippi River Commission. With these eX-
ceptions the items of the Sundry Civil
Bill still in dispute after the adoption OF
the partial conference report were sent
back to conference. The disputed items
of the District of Columbia Appropriation
Bill were agreed to and the bill went to
the President leaving only four appro-
priation bills still in dispute between the
two houses. Everything, so far as the
House is concerned, indicates final ad-
journment on Wednesday.
Mr. Miers Qnd), as a matter of privi-
lege, moved the adoption of resolution
of inquiry calling upon the Secretary of
the Interior for all reports relating to
the dropping from the pension rolls of
certain widows, especially such reports
and correspondence from special examin-
ers as w. H. Goodlove, w. S. Harris, A..
w. Room and General j. H. Stibbs.
He understood, he said, that more than
thirty widows had been dropped from
the rolls upon the report of Mr.. Goodlove
who, he was informed, had asked the
widows question which could not be re-
peated in the House. He also was in
formed although he did not believe it,
that the Commissioner of Pensions had
authorized this infamous line of ques-
lions.
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Room, he was in
formed had made special reports upon
Mr.. Goodlove's action for which both had
been reduced The line Of inquiry COM
planned of had reference to the chastity
of the widow since her husbands death.
Mr.. Ray On. W, criticised the reso-
luton as being indefinite and unintelli-
gible. Who were the widows, he demand
ed to know. Mr.. Miers said he would re-
spond to this challenge in his own time.
Mr.. Ray said it was a covert assault
on the Secretary of the Interior and the
Commissioner of Pensions.
The Chair held that the pending ques-
ton was to discharge the committee from
the consideration Of the resolution and
not on the adoption of the resolution and
that the pending question was not debata-
BILE.
This decision cut off debate and the
question was put The motion was lost,
ia to 131. This left the resolution still
in possession Of the committee.
At 7:05 p. m. the House adjourned.

order.
Mr. Allison (Pop. Neb.) asked unani-
nous consent for it's second reading. Mr..
Aldrich (Rep., r. ID objected, saying that
the bill could not be passed at this ses-
sion. It then went over until tomorrow.
Mr. Pettigrew giving notice that he would
move to consider it tomorrow morning
The Senate then took a recess until s
o clock.
At o'clock the Senate reconvened, Mr..
Pettigrew (Pop., S. d. taking the floor
on the Philippine question. He sharply
criticised the Administration for not hav-
ing given Congress and the people full in
formation concerning affairs in the Philip
pines, and said that most of the informa-
ton received had come through a cen
sored press and private letters.
At great length Mr.. Petigrew argued
that the Filipinos were allies Of the
United States. He said he had no de-
sire to impeach the veracity of Admiral
Dewey, but since the Admiral had de-
nounced as false his (Pettigrew's) state
ment, that the Admiral had recognized
the Filipinos as allies and had saluted
their flag, he (Pettigrew) felt it incum-
bent upon him to present the facts and
let the American people judge as to the
Admiral's veracity.
He presented mass of matters in sup
port of his contention, but nothing new
except a letter from the executive officer
of the Olympia admiral Dewey's flag
ship who wrote that while no naval sa-
lutte was made to the Filipino flag, the
Olympias nag was dipped to the Filipino
colors This Mr.. Pettigrew contended,
was a salute to the Filipino flag

Three doctors said it was scrofula and

TRIUMPH OF A NORTH CAROLINIAN.
Col. Robert Binghams Striking Address to
Veterans at Louisville.
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial TO News anu observer
Louisville, KY, June 4.-The most de-
cided stroke OF interesting and logical
oratory was made by Col. Robert Bling
ham, of Ashevile, at Music Hall, in
Louisville, on the occasion of the meet
ing of Confederate Veterans at the grand
reunion. To the imagery of all the
beautiful romance which clusters around
the lost cause was added the under
lying and basic truths and facts
which justify and glorify the
Confederate soldier in his his
torc struggle. The truth of history
was contended for by Col. Bingham as
right which would crown the private sol
der of the South with fadeless laurels
Questions of constitutional rights affect
ing the actions of the Confederate States
were handled by a masters hand, and to
the issues of the Civil War were given
in eloquent words the solutions of a logi-
cal and studious mind. The audience
was held in deepest interest to a theme
which original ideas and deep re-
search made glowing and new. The
Anglo-Saxon stalwartism of the South
was held up as a model for the manhood
of America, and the Confederate soldier
as presented as the highest Type VI
that manhood. The struggle of the South
was portrayed to be the battle of a peo-
pie contendng for the purest principles
of constitutional government. The mast
erly combat of the Confederacy against
q world of power and wealth was pictured
as the most gallant and noble fight of a
people embued with spirit of their
constitutional rights. To the private SOL
der of the Confederate army was paid Il
tribute which the monument of pension
lists justifles, and to him as freeman
with servile class beneath him, was
paid the praise which his ideals of inner
ent and inalienable rights force upon the
pages of history. In all that Col. Bling
ham said there was a spirit of loyalty to
the flag and the nation of today; but he
contended and maintained that the South
ern heroes ideas were those which in
herted constitutions forced upon him.
The Veterans and the entire audience
cheered the eloquent orator from North
Carolina with the most earnest enthu-
siasm, and his speech marked the occa-
sion as one to be remembered.
