Comparison Of Treason Laws.

comparison between existing laws of
the United States against treason, sedition
and misprison, and the provisions OF the
act of the Philippine commission, defining
crimes OF treason, ETC.. was laid before the
Senate today. 1t was compiled by Mr..
Charles q. Magoon. law officer division of
insular affairs. The statement concerning
these laws concludes as follows:
This comparison Is confined to the ex-
listing laws of the United States and states
OF the Union. There are a number of OBJ
solete enactments with which comparison
might be made. During our entire history,
whenever there has been in any community
a class from whose actions or utterances
danger might reasonably be apprehended,
the legislative discretion has never hesi-
tated to provide a. means for protection,
as, for instance the legislation against the
tories during the revolution; tina against
renegade white men who melted the In
dams to outbreak and massacres; that
against the negroes Of the south during the
years they were held in slavery; that
against the Knights of the Golden Circle
and similar secret societies during the civil
war. and the several measures now pending
In Congress to prevent the promotion Of an
archy by seditious utterances."

FOR NAVAL MANEUvERs.
Board Recommends Special Appropria-
= ton of $4,000.

Secretary Long is in receipt of an i'm
portant report from the general naval
board, of which Admiral Dewey is prest-
dent, outlining an extensive program for
the winter and summer maneuVers of the
North Atlantic squadron, with a view to
the better training of both officers and men
in fleet eyolutions.
The board suggests that drills be held
off the New England coast this summer
and asks that i special appropriation Of
$4,000 be made for the purpose. This ap-
proximate estimate includes the expense
also Of the West Indian maneuvers next
winter. Congress will be asked by the Navy
Department to make this appropriation
which Is regarded as small compared with
the cost of maintenance of the North At
lantic fleet. A special appropriation Is nee
essary because the regular naval appropria-
tons contain no provision for such an I'M
dertaking.
The need Of the special appropriation is
emphasized by the proposed Joint maneu-
Vers with the army and militia, from which
highly beneficial results are expected. The
maneuvers will give naval officers a prac-
teal idea Of how war ships should be man
aged during a real engagement, besides
teaching the enlisted men how to conduct
themselves under fire.
Naval reorganization Is now being con-
sdered by the board, which will recon-
mend some radical changes In the arrange
ment of both the line and staff personnel
The changes suggested in the selectjo, of
naval constructors were prompted by lack
Of line officers. In the general changes now
occupying the consideration of the board
the German staff system is looked upon
with favor.

CRITICISES SENATE
Mr.. CANNON ON PARK COMMITS.
6I0N'S EXPENSES.
Local Items Retained in the Confer
ence Report on the Urgent De-
hciency Bill.

A conference report covering nearly all OF
the disagreements between the House and
Senate on the urgent deficiency appropria-
ton bill was agreed to by the House today.
In the discussion of the report in the House
Mr.. Cannon took occasion to severely cr..-
else the Senate in regard to the existence
of the park commission. He said that 1t
had developed that this commission had
already spent over $47, 600 An amendment
which the Senate had placed in the bill
appropriated 1000 to be added to the con-
tingent fund of the Senate. was to par
TALLY make up this amount. Mr.. Cannon
was willing to consent to this amendment.
but in the conferences had submitted an
addition thereto. which provided that here
after the contingent funds of either the
Senate or House should not be used to pay
personal services or to authorize any work
to be done which did not strictly pertain to
the business Of either the House or SEN
ate. 1t is also provided that the Treasury
Department should observe this clause in
making future disbursements. The Senate
conferees submitted to this amendment and
it became law.
Some of the local changes In the bill, as
the result of the conference, and which,
through the adoption of the conference re-
port, will become law, are as follows: The
amendment to the bill raising the amount
appropriated for contingent expenses for
the office Of superintendent of insurance in
the District by $500 This amount remained
as first appropriated by the House at $780,
Inc Senate amendment appropriating 5000
Tor the office of surveyor of the District
becomes law. The appropriation of $500
TOT repairs at the White Huse is increased
by the Senate to $1,000, and this amount
stands. An appropriation Of So, 800 to hire
Quarters for the Marine Corps Is a Senate
feature or the bill which remains. The
House provision of $4,000 for the contin-
gent expenses Of the Marine Corps remains
the same. although the Senate endeavored
to add $1,000 to this item.
An amendment appropriating 50 900 for
the Columbia Institution for the Deaf and
LUMP was placed in the bill by the Senate
ana remains. The amount for repairs and
work at the Capitol is raised In the bill by
the Senate from S16.905.75 to S21, 345. IS.
Inc conferees accepted this latter amount.
Inc Senate amendment which pr pvided
that the appointment of superintendent. of
the Capitol should be confirmed by the Sem
ate was receded from by that body. 1t was
explained by the House conferees that the
superintendent of the Capitol was as much
a House employe as the Senate, and that
the Senate had no right to exercise an ap-
prevail over his appointment, which might
work as an influence in his conduct Of his
ONCE in favor of the Senate.
The Spanish treaty claims commission, for
which the House made an approximation of
$1,000, will receive that amount although
the Senate raised the item to S1S,20O.

G.. A. R. FUND GROWING
BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS,
Three Railroads Contributed $12, 800
Hotels Promise Liberal
Sums.

The work of soliciting subscriptions for
the entertainment fund being raised by the
Business Mems Association to insure the
coming Of the Grand Army Of the Republic
encampment to Washington next October
was continued today under the direction of
Mr.. F. X. Raymond, one of the vice prcsi-
dents Of the association. Insteadsof carry
ing out the plan to appoint only 100 b ISL
ness men to assist in the canvass it has
now been decided to send letters to every
member of the association requesting them
to aid in securing subscriptions.
Mr.. 8. B. Hege Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. who has taken great interest in
the project, had conference with Mr..
Barry Buckley. secretary Of the Business
Mems Association, this forenoon, ana later
made this statement to q reporter for The
Evening Star: II have never doubted the
ability and Willingness of Washingtons
business interests to subscribe Iund ann
ply sufficient to properly entertain the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Mr.. Hege is Confident.
MY experience in gathering money in
Washington In the past has been that
while we have no large manufacturing in
terests here whose customers are located at
the four corners of the earth, and conse-
quentiy interested in making large public
SuDSSIiptlOllS " Shlel VI VI thiS Si1i a.
ter. our business interests are anxious TO
have the encampment come to the city. as
they are all making subscriptions some
small and others larger.
I'm fact, our efforts during the past two
days from door to door Pennsylvania
avenue, failed to get a single declination,
but from every one visited We had subscrip-
tions from S. to $3.50 while the hotels gave
much larger amounts. If the business in
terests will continue to manifest the same
feeling in this encampment project, to
show the same spirit of liberality, there Is
no doubt, not the slightest, of our ability
to raise a fund sufficient to make the thing
a great success. SO far the subscriptions
of only three railroads aggregate $12. 500
Mr.. Buckley had conference with Mr.. B.
H. Warner this afternoon. Mr.. John Joy
Edison, who was chairman of the committee
that raised the funds for entertaining the
Grand Army of the Republic at the encamp-
ment held in Washington ten years ago, re-
turned to the city today after a month 8
absence He said he was unfamiliar as to
what had been done thus far, and that he
did not feel that he could discuss the sub
ject clearly.

RIOT IN A CHICAGO CHURCH.
Rival Factions in Greek Church Come
to Blows.

CHICAGO February 1O.-Rival factions
of the Greek orthodox church had a fierce
fight during meeting yesterday and when
the trouble was over one policeman was
among the list of injured, while several
Greeks suffered with bruised heads. Knives
were flashed and fierce threats made dur
ing the encounter. When the trouble be-
gan three policemen attempted to stop it,
but one of them was struck with chair
and knocked down stairs. A riot call was
turned in and on the appearance of a large
body of policemen the rioters were panic
stricken and jumped out of windows and
down stairways. The police charged into
the crowd, and, after several minutes of
fighting, succeeded in restoring order.
