Such unparliamcntary language seem

The motion was carried by 24S TO 4S
votes.
Mr.. Dillon Immediately, by direction
of the speaker left the house, amidst
wild Nationalist cheers. and Mr.. Cham

The election of Mr.. Dillon did not
serve to clear the atmosphere, and the
remainder Of the debate was filled with
personal allusiuns and unpleasant eX
changes. ihe nature of which would
have excited comment had they not
been discounted by the first explosion.

Hawley Bill.
WASHINGTON. March 2I.-General
Nelson A. Miles told the senate COM
Mittes on military affairs that II the
bill introduced by Senator Hawley at
the instance Of the war department for
the organization Of general staff for
the army should become law he
would decline to longer hold his COM
mission.
The reason lie gave for the statement
IL that The bill is utterly subversive of
the interests of the military establish
ment. and ile said that he would not be
n party to such proceeding 10 the ex-
tent even Of continuing TO hold his
place.
The portion of the bill to which Gen
cral Miles directed his especial criti-
cism IL that contained in section 7,
which creates a general staff, Of Which
the present lieutenant general shall be
chief so long as he remains In active
service. On his retirement. however,
it is provided that the president or Sec
retary Of war shall assign an officer to
be chief Of staff.
The news Of General Niles state
mcnts before the military committee of
the senate excited great interest at the
war department when it became known
there late in the day. There was
very general inquiry as to whether by
passing the criticisms up0lr various OFF,
cials, as reported in the press General
Miles had not exposed himself to dis
cipllnary treatment. The answer to
this must be lmscd on the exact amount
of privilege which attaches 10 testimo-
ny given before Il committee of COLI
gress. This question arose last week
in the course of General Hughes testi-
m0ny before the senate Philippine COM
mittee when the general sought to es-
cape answering questions which would
involve criticism by him Of his superior
officer. General Otis.
