Secretary Root Says the Army Bill
Must BE Passed

Washington, Dee 23-At the last
meeting of the senate committee on mill
tary affairs, the proceedings OF which
have just been made public, Secretary
Root made strong presentation of the
necessity for immediate legislation for
the relief of the army. He stated broad
ly that if congress did not at once in
dorse the army bill in substantial ac-
cOrdance with the recommendations of
the war depart ment the United States
would be Obliged to abandon a large
portion of the Philippine islands where
civil government is established. If the
present garrisOns are withdrawn from
certain portions of the islands the mu-
nicipal officers, mostly Filipinoa, will be
left defenseless, with every prospect of
being deprived Of their lives and proper
ty, and at the same time the United
States will be disgraced, the secretary
argued that it was necessary to pass the
department bill as a whole in order to
properly adjust the military organiza-
tiOn to the new conditions created by
the increase of numbers
1--WE DO not any OF us, he said, sex
pect that for any considerable period an
army of 100000 men will be main
tained, and for an army OF 10000 men
the provisions made (by the committee)
are sufficient"

Two years ago MIR Coates, lieutenant
governor elect, was excluded from the
floor of the house by Speaker w. G..
Smith. This was because Mr. Coates.
who was president Of the Federation of
Labor. was pretty active as lobbyist
for labor measures. Now a Republican
newspaper suggests that Coates may re
talliate on Smith, who will surely be IN
the lobby next winter in the interests OF
corporations, and will be entitled to the
privileges OF the floor as an ex member
of both bodies. Mr. Coates hastens to
say that the incident of two years ago is
closed and he will not attempt to wreak
revenge upon Mr. Smith. All of which
is to the credit of Mr. Coates. Mr. Smith
believes in corporations, though he is not
necessarily corrupt.

him by the government to recover more

TELLER DEFIES ENGLAND.
Our Senior Senator Says We should Fortify
the Canal, II We SO Desire.

Auc S"h0ss IL VIC % OeotEcs
Washington, Dec. The senate re
suned consideration of the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty upon going into executive
session today and Senator Morgan con
tinued the speech in support OF the treaty
which he began Yesterday.
Senator Morgan in his speech went
over the same grounds covered by him
yesterday, saying he desired simply to
clear up some misapprehension con
cerning his position.
Senator Teller spoke for about two
hours, giving notice of his amendment, at
the beginning of his address. The
amendment suggested relates to section
of article of the treaty. AS that
section now stands II reads as follows:
"No fortihcations shall BE- erected COM
manding the canal or the waters adjacent.
The United States. however. shall be
at liberty to maintain such military police
along the canal as may be necessary to
protect it against lawlessness and dis
order"
The Colorado senator's amendm ent
provides for the striking Out of the first
sentence Of this provision and for verb
al changes in the remaining portion,
making ii read as follows:
The United States shall be at liberty
to maintain such military force along the
canal as may be nee ssary 10 protect 1t
against lawlessness and disorder"
Mr. Teller commended that ii the United
States desired to build the canal il
should proceed to do so without trying
to secure the consent of Great Britain.
He said that the opinion OF Secretary
Hay tha, the abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty was necessary AS pre-
ceding performance, after all was only
the opinion of one man. Then he quoted
from public documents to show that
former secretaries of state had differed
in their opinions in this respect. He also
showed that in some instances there had
been breaches OF the CLAYTON Bulwer
treaty. He quoted Secretary Evarts as
saying that the guarantee of neutrality
is one thing, while the question is un.
settled, and quite another when the canal
shall be opened to the interests. amb-
ton and cupidity Of the commercial ma.
tions, and Is occupied by populations of
foreign allegiance and discordant habits.
Secretary Blaine also was quoted on
the same point.
Replying to Senator Morgan Senator
Teller expressed the opinion that Great
Britain never would permit her resent.
ment of independent action by the United
States to lead her to begin hostilities be-
cause her material interest in maintain
ing peace with this country is too great;
but he argued that to ask England's as.
sent to the construction of the canal was
to admit that that country had right to
express dissent. That position, he said,
never would be accepted by the people
of this country.
