NO DANGER OF ATTACI

AZ know we are not loved in Europe"
continued Mr.. Teller. Our competition
in trade is creating great feeling over
there. but a people of 100000 in number,
situated as we are, who could put an
army of 100000 men in the field in an
emergency, is in no danger OF attack
from the outside
No man gives q good reason for an
army Of 100000 1t may be that the cry
of imperialism has some ground: that it
is feared imperialism viii not suit the
people and. therefore, that the great
army is not intended to put down an
archists, revolutionists and insurrection-
lists in the Philippines. but those at home.
Mr. Warren. of Wyoming. denied that
the bill provided for a standing army OF
100000 men. fs'
Mr.. Allison suggested that until the
army bill was disposed of the Senate
hereafter meet at II A NJ. every day.
Mr. Pettigrew suggested that the re-
quest be withdrawn, as he thought "a
vote will be reached very soon.
The Senate then went into executive
session and at $50 P. NJ. adjourned.
In the House.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-The House
passed anothertlay on the river and har-
Dor bill without completing it. Twenty
six pages were disposed of to-day The
friends of the bill successfully resisted
all attempts to load down the bill with
new projects and only one of two unim-
portant amendments were adopted.
The Western members labored unsuc-
cessfully to secure an entering wedge for
their pet scheme for the reclamation of
the arid lands. but received only very
limited support
The Senate resolution to appropriate
81. COO coo to enable the secretary of the
Senate to pay the expenses of the inauSu-
ration of tho President and Nice-Prcsi-
dent March 4th. was called up and pre-
cinitated a lively discussion because it did
not recognize the House as. "a factor in the
Inauguration ceremonies.
Mr. Dalzell moved to recomm!t the
resolution with instructions to report
back a resolution providing for an iaaugu-
ration bill under the joint auspices of the
House and Senate. This was adopted
The House went into committee of the
whole to consider the river and harbor
bill.
Mr.. King, of Utah, under the latitude
allowed in debate. criticised his Demo-
cratic colleagues for supporting immense
river and harhor bills because they hap
pcned to contain what he termed pork
in which they were interested. He
charged that the Democrats, not tHe LEM
ocratic party, were drifting far from their
old moorings in championing appropr!a-
lions for strictly local purposes.
Mr. Mondel, of Wyoming. offered an
amendment to appropriate $4,000 for con-
structing reservoirs in Wyoming for the
purpose of holding back the flood waters
of the Missouri River The amendment
also carried an authorization for $4,000
to complete the reservoir.
This amendment was to be the entering
wedge for arid land irrigation.
Mr. Burton raised the point that the
amendment was not germane, which the
Chair did not sustain. The amendment
was lost, 37-95.
Without completing the bill. the House
at sos p. NJ. adjourned.
