In the senate.

Washington, Feb. AFTER an event
full legislative experience, beginning
with the present session of congress
and covering about two months, the
bill for the reorganization of the United
States army yesterday passed its last
stage in congress and now goes to the
president for his signature. The final
step was taken in the senate where by
a vote OF SO to Is the conference report
on the bill was agreed to. The house
of representatives already had agreed
to the report The conference report
was kept before the senate constantly
yesterday, even the shipping bill giving
way. Opposition to the bill continued
to be vigorously expressed, Mr.. Teller
making an extended speech in criti-
cism of the war department and OF
the mea sure in general. An opposition
developed on the Republican side to
the report, based on the alleged free
dom which the conferees had taken in
introducing new provisions. On the
final vote several Republican senators
voted with the Democrats against the
report The shipping bill was discussed
during the latter part of the day and
some progress made on amendments. A
speech by Mr.. RaWlins of Utah against
the bill was in progress at the close.
Mr. Chandler announced that night
session would be moved to-day to adj
vance the bill to its final stages.

4 The house passed the Notifications
appropriation bill and made fair prog
ress with the postofHce appropriation
bill. During the general debate upon
the former bill Mr. Lanham of Texas
delivered notable speech upon the
future of the Democratic party in
which he made a strong plea for the
necessity of a united Democracy and
counselled the burial of the Ratchet and
the welcoming back of those who in
the last two presidential campaigns
who have, declined to support the nom
inees of the party. IS

Pekin, Feb. 1.-The plan of Com
mander-in-C Chief Field Marshal Won
Waldersee for the evacuation of Pc
kin and other places now held by the
allied troops was transmitted to the
foreign ministers through the various
commanders of the allies. Count Won
Waldersee says:
Before this change can be under
taken the Chinese will have to make a
start at least toward fulfilling the con-
dltlons of the peace treaty. I believe
that for this purpose the actual inflic-
ton of punishment on the guilty par
ties as demanded by the diplomatic
corps would be sufficient, together with
China's consent to pay the different
governments the war indemnities to
be demanded by them. When this has
been done the withdrawal Of the for
e1gn forces from Pekin and Paoting-fu
may follow. At the same time the
forces in Pechili may be minimized."
Count Won Waldersee then calls at
tention to the fact that it will be
Impossible to Embark
the foreign troops before March on ac-
count of the frozen condition of the
rivers and harbors and the lack of
transports. Count Won Waldersee con-
tinues:
"Tien-tsin and the neighborhood of
Shan-hai Kwan will have to remain
occupied by international troops until
the following conditions are fulfilled:
First - The Chinese government
must give proof that it is willing and
able to maintain peace and order in
the province Of Pechili and to effectu-
ally protect missionaries, Christians
and other foreigners.
Second - The Chinese government
must state in what manner it will man
age to provide money for the
Payment of the Indcmnities.
This must be satisfactory to the pow
ers."
During the transition period Count
Won Waldersee states in his letter that
International troops must remain as
follows:
''First-A force of 1000 in Pelsin to
protect the legations.
Second = In the districts of Tien-
tsin, Lutai and Taku, about 5000.
'Third-At Shan-hai Kwan, $500.
"Fourth-There must be small gar
risons of 200 or 300 men along the rail-
road line. The chief

Washington, Jan. 26. - Senator De-
pew OF New York yesterday delivered
IN the senate a misunderstanding force
fuls and eloquent address In support OF
the Shipping bill. The address, which
occupied just an hour. was In the ma
ture of an appeal for the upbuiiding
of the American merchant marine by
the granting Of subsidies as provided
for in the pending measure. His dis
cussion OF the problems Of transporta-
ton which now confront American
manufacturers and American farmers
was notably interesting and effective.
The peroration, in which he urged that
the American flag be restored to the
noastheads Of the .freight-carrying
ships of the United States, was bril-
liant piece Of ioratory and elected cor
dial applause from senators on the
floor and the crowds in the galleries
Little progress was made with the In
dian appropriation bill. The last hour
of the senate was consumed in the
passage Of private pension bills.
In the House.
The house yesterday adopted the con-
ference report upon the army reor.
ganization bill. The contest over it
was brief, Mr.. Hull. chairman of the
military affairs committee, preventing
prolonged debate. The debate was
chiefly notable for a short exchange
between Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader, and Mr.. Hay Dem, Va.l. a
member of the conference committee,
who reproached the Democratic leader
for not making a fight for a temporary
army when the bill was originally be-
fore the house. The naval appropria-
ton bill was finally passed; also sew
enty-seven pension bills.

Washington, Jan. 81. - The anti
polygamy crusade which resulted in
driving Mr.. Roberts out Of the house
OF representatives. at the last session
had an echo in the house yesterday
during the consideration of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. When the
section making the appropriations for
agricultural colleges Of the several
states was reached Mr.. Lands of In
diana offered an amendment providing
that no money should be paid to the
college in Utah until the secretary Of
tee or teacher in the institution prac-
ticed polygamy. The amendment came
as complete surprise. Mr.. King, who
succeeded Mr.. Roberts, tried in vain to
head it off. with a point Of order and
then inveighed against it as simply an
aftermath of the Roberts crusade. He
insisted that polygamy was a thing OF
the past. Mr.. Lands replied by al
leging that two Of the professors ct
the Utah agricultural college were
polygamists, and that one Of the trus-
tees had seven wives and thirty-seven
children. Upon this showing the
house adopted the amendment, where
upon Mr.. King retaliated by offering
an amendment providing that none of
the money should go to agricultural
colleges in any state whose instructors
or trustees have engaged in lynching
or been guilty Of adultery or fornica.
ton. He afterward modified it so as
to apply only to the agricultural coll
lege of Indiana. Subsequently when
the bill was reported to the house the
Lands amendment was stricken out
by vote of GO to 10. The friends OF
the farmer were very much in evil
dence during the day and against an
aggressive opposition led by Mr.. Ma
hon of Pennsylvania voted into the bill
an additional appropriation of $4,000
for farmers bulletins" There was
also considerable discussion of the ir-
rigation of the arid lands in connec-
ton with the paragraph providing for
an Investigation Of that subject. The
bill was passed. 49,
