FIGURING ON THE COST
WAR DEPART1rENT WORKING
 AT HIGH PRESSURE.
Demand of the senate to Know How Much the United States Has
 Paid for Philippine War. K

Washington. May s.--speciai.l-The War Department. after being hammered In . terrific manner by Democratic Sena- tors in the past two days on the charge of conceaiins the cost. to date. of e. quiring and controlling the Phiiipptne Islands, is working at high pressure speed to obtain the nSures. The Senate has made more than one demand on the Secretary of War for the information. but 1t has never been given out even to Congress-. Tho adoption of Senator Gull persons resolution, however, and the scorching criticism pronounced on the Senate floor by Senators Culbsrscn and Csrmack. startled the ofzicials into sctiv- ity and figures may soon be- known Il is an assured fact that the total will run over. Sloo o.ooe. .oOA The last report on the cost of the Philippine expansion covered a period from May to November. lSse, and placed the figures then at $500, 000. Since that time, though. Congress has sought for information nothing of the cost nas been made public.
 Every bureau in the department b la boring today at the task of finding It. { A large force have been withdrawn from their regular duties and detailed on this labor. If the Senate wanted to know the cost of an article purchased by the War Department for the use of soldiers. the answer could be given in few minutes. The job set before Secretary Root and hts bureau chiefs is practically that of trac- ing each article purchased for the troops and finding out how much of 1t was used in the Philippines.
 Coosa May Get Small Sum.
 So far as can be ascertained today 1t seems the Coosa River may ret an ap- propriation sufficient to make new sur vey of the stream with view to con tinuing the improvement next year If the new survey proves satisfactory. This is said to be the best arrangement the Coosa River advocates in the conference com mittee could make. It Is understood that Burton of Ohio will agree to the new sur vey The report of the conference com mittee is expected next week. F.

"wE SMOKED THEM OUT"
This Will Be Democratic Cry in Com
 ing Campaign.

New Orleans, May 3.-A special to The Picayune from Washington says:
 } When the Republicans of the Senate agreed among themselves to refrain from debate and permit the Democrats to ex- haust themselves on the Philippine bill. they thought only of the time that would be saved In the passage of the Dill. Now they have awakened to the fact that thes weapon , in the hands of the minority which win be used against them In the fall campaign and they are changing tacties, horlng to counteract its deadly
 Some very serious charges have been made by Democratic Senators against the hdministration's policy In the Philippines (which might have gone into the records Unanswered, but hint has come from the White House that this discussion must not continue one-stded.
 Rumors of remonstrance at the silence of the Republicans have been coming especially from the West. Rumcrs that the people were getting interested in the Democratic line of talk multiplied and, It is said, began to reach the President In a way to attract his attention. He has talked within day or two to all the Republican leaders. and is said to have expressed the opinion that more vigor- ous debate on the part or the nepuDti- cans was necessary.
 There is no disguising the fact that the Democrats are very much elated over the progress of their campaign Tn the senate with respect to this bill. They claim that they have forced the Republicans into causing publicity of the Philippine situation; that the Republicans of ths Senate have gone grudgingly. under pro- test. into all the inouirfee
 we smoked them out" will be the Democratic cry on the stump this fall. This will make the Philippine situation prominent in the campaign for Congress They object in exposing the alleged maIadministration of the military govern ment of the Philippines will be to hold up the reported abuses as a national fea- ture of imperialism"
 Two Republicans who are to answer the charges of the other side are Lodge. of Massachusetts. and Spooner of Wlscon- sin. Mir. Lodge will speak at length next week and Senator Spooner will follow him. Meanwhile other Republicans will prepare to enter the fray: The Democrats are inviting debate. and they care not how long 1t may continue. They insist upon keeping the Philippine PHI ahead of Cuban reciprocity. and If the latter measure is not reached this session, they will not be disappointed.

CHRISTIANITY THE CURE.
Bishop Wilson Says the orientals
 are to Be Feared.


 Nashville. Tenn, May 3.-In an address here before the Board of Missions of the Southern Methodist Church. of which he is President, Senior Bishop A. w. Wilson last night made an impassioned appeal for an additional missionary to Assa.
 He linked Japan. China and Corea, stat ing that within the next few years there would be perceptible changes one way or the other. and that unless the Christian people predominate the world and church would be threatened with destruction!
 We have had as much to do with the Boxer movement. I admit" he said. "as religion had in the troubles in the Roman Empire. I confess that so far as civiliza- ton of the East Is concerned our saiety Ia not great Unless we proceed early, we will have to conquer at a heavier cost; the resistance will be greater than that of the Apostles.
 The work we fail to do today will be work done for the devil and against Christ and the world in the days to come. The work in other foreign fields Is not to be considered with China, with its teem- ing thousands of people with as great brains as can be found. They will not take the mere forms of civilization like the people of Japan. but go to the root and appropriate that which they believe will assist them. If we allow them In their present condition to go ahead the ueople of China, Japan and Corea will eventually control the East and make trouble for the West. We of the West will suffer not only from the reaction, but from the reflex action in our own land"
 The members of the Board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church en- loved an excursion to Chickamauga Park this afternoon. Tomorrow morning they will fill the pulpits of the various churches of the city. Tomorrow night union services will he held at the audi toriun. Bishop Thoburn of Indiana and Bishop Fowler of Buffalo will speak. The meeting of the Board will be concluded on Tuesday.

J. W. GATES BUYS
 THE MONON ROAD
It Will Be Merged with the |. < N. and War Will Be Waged on
 the Illinois Central.

abort against the 5000 900 new stock to he issued, Gates gobbled up all that was ofYered until when the Belmonts finally took alarm, he was found to own SSS,oOo of the SoO.00o shares of the road
 L. & N. Needed Terminus.
 The Louisville and Nashville has no large city as a northern terminus. In the parlance of railroad men. 1t runs rom nowhere to New Orleans. As soon as Gates gained control of the Louisville and Nashville. his next endeavor was to make if run from somewhere to New Orleans. The Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Road, or Monon, as 1t Is commonly call ed, runs from Chicago through Indian spolis to Louisville. where 1t connects with the Louisville and Nashville, and the purchase of the Monon would give the Louisville and Nashville Chicago terminus and make of the combined roads a new route between Chicago, New Orleans and other Southern points.
 Gates, therefore, went to work three weeks ago to buy .up. the control of the Monon. In the open market he bought a 0oo 900 of the $1s. 600 of common and preferred stock of the road and yester- day he got $6,o00.ooo more of the stock from Gen. Samuel Thomas, who sold at price said to have been s72 per share. The Gates crowd now controls two- thirds interest in the Louisville and Nash vile and a three-fifths interest in the Monon.
 Officials Will Lose Jobs.
 Most of the officials of both roads are thought to be booked for removal when J. P. Morgan & Co. reorganize the roads. The consolidation will necessitate the re- tirement of one set of officers in any event, and it is said the Morgans will want to put their own men in the offices controlling the operation of the new road. William Fl. McDoei of this city Is Presi- dent and General Manager of the Monon Road. He is now in New York in con- sultatlon with the Morgans.
 The Monon Road has undergone several experiences in changing owners. It was chartered as the New Albany and Salem Road on July S..1s47, and was to run be- tween those two points, which are thirty | five miles apart. In 1854 it was extended to Michigan City. and on the strength of lthat extension 1t changed it's name. in I 1859. to the Louisville. New Albany and | Chicago Road. That name stuck to 1t until March 31, 1897. when 1t was sold un-
 der foreclosure and it's name changed to the 1Chicago. Indianapolis and Louisville | It owns or controls about 800 miles of 1 track, leasing an entrance into Chicago from the Chicago and Western Indiana Road, In which it owns a one-fifth inter | est t

dicate members saying that if they wanted to see him they must come to Berlin. The members of the syndicate ap- peared yesterday and had a long talk with him. The indications are that the syndicate can be broken up at the terfni- nation of the present agreement. in 1895, The ownership of the syndicate properties ds widely distributed and buying control of the properties is likely to require months and capital exceeding s50,000, 600. The only thing which may cause the Americans withdrawal from the attempt is that some of the properties operated by the syndicate belong to the Prussian treasury which is also the owner of large unworked properties The Americans must secure a lease of these for long terms if they wish to dominate the industry.
