URGENT DEFICIENCY
BILL WAS PASSED
House MeasureCarries an Ap-
preparation of S17,I2o,I92.
$1O5,OOO FOR THE DISTRICT

The House yesterday. without division,
passed the urgent deficiency bill, carry
ing an appropriation of $l7,12O192 The
measure includes an item of $500, 900 to
provide shelter and protection for the
officers and enlisted men of the army
serving in the Philippine Islands"
The original proposition in the bill was
to appropriate $500, 900 for an army post
at Manila, and it was this that the Demo-
Gratis vigorously fought. The substitute
accomplishes exactly the same ends. Mr.
Richardson demanded a yea and nay vote
on this amendment. and it was carried by
a vote of 17S to 105, several Democrats
voting in the Affirmative. Mr.. Richardson
then moved to recommit. with instruc-
tions to report an amendment requiring
the President to report to Congress how
the money was expended. On this the
Democrats voted solidly in the affirma-
tive, but it was lost by a vote of 124 to
159. The measure was then passed Under
the bill the District will get $1O5, 900. The
items for which the money will be ex-
pended were mentioned in The Times sew
eral days ago.

WAR In LABOR RANKS.
Central Union Leaders Arrested on
Conspiracy Charges.

Central Union Leaders Arrested on
Conspiracy Charges.
A stir was occasioned last night in
labor circles by the arrest of John Ham
erstrom and Eugene Van Ness, the former
president of the Central Labor Union, a
machinist employed in the State, War,
and Navy Building. and the latter a car
penter and member of the same or
ganization, whose home Is at 1914 G

the sum of $500 and were released. pend

to be members of the Knights of Labor.
and it is claimed that rivalry between
the two big organizations has brought
about the char yes and arrests.
Nally and Swank. according to the
police, were formerly employed by Par
ker, Bridget & Co., Ninth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue northwest. Being
members of the Knights of Labor, they
allege that Hamerstrom, Van Ness, and
others brought to bear certain influences.
which resulted in the loss of their po-
sitions.
To a reporter Mr.. Hamerstrom said
that he scarcely understood why he was
arrested at all. He said he had taken
part in no conspiracy to injure anyone.
Elsewhere it was learned that the ar
rests in all probability grew out OF a
long-continued dispute between the Cen

not to take any action which would han
dicap the party in the future.
Several others spoke along this line
Mr.. Henry vigorously advocated his prop
osition for an explicit declaration Of con-
tinued faith in the Kansas City platform
Mr.. Cochran of Missouri also wanted the
partys position made clear and unmis-
taxable. There were a number of others
who wanted to speak, but cloture was
soon applied in order to prevent any
serious friction.
Result of the Vote.
When the vote was taken eighty one
members supported the majority and
seventeen opposed it. They were, accord

Some surprise was expressed that Mr..

TREATY SIGNED FOR
DANISH WEST INDIES,
All That Is Necessary For Stars and Stripes to Float Over
Islands Is Its Ratification.

treaty intended to result in the trans
fer by Denmark to the United States of
the Danish West Indies for a consdera-
to s5,0e0.090 was signed yesterday in the
reception room at the State Department
by Secretary Hay and the Danish Minis
ter, Mr.. Constantin Brun.
The treaty will be sent to the Senate
at once. Until that time its nature will
not be made public. By its terms, how
ever, the United States acquires posses
sion of the Danish West Indies. one of the
most important naval strategic points in
the Western Hemisphere. Three islands
st. Thomas, st. Croix, and st, John
lying to the southeast of Porto Rico. make
up the group, which has total population
of less than 1900. Nearly all are of DAN
ish descent.
Treaty Must BE Ratified.
All that is now necessary to make the
treaty effective is its ratification by the
Senate OF the United States and the Rigs
dag Of Denmark. which sits at Copen-
hagen.
The signing Of the treaty is the culmi-
nation of negotiations conducted inter-
mittently ever since President Grants
first administration. A treaty was ne
gotiated by Secretary Seward, but failed

Democrats Refuse to Put
Forth Declaration.
THE Line OF ACTION AT CAUCUS.
Kansas City Document Not
Endorsed or Abrogated.
TAKE MIDDLE COURSE.
resentatives Decide Tint They
Cannot Do otherwise.

BY vote of 81 to II the Democrats of
the House in caucus last night agreed
not to promulgate declaration of prin-
ciples governing their actions during the
present session of Congress. Indirectly,
although not with such explicit intention,
this was an admission that the Kansas
City platform is still the fundamental
law of the Democracy until the meeting
of the next national convention.
Two Possible Constructions.
In view of the resolutions which had
been presented for the adoption of the
caucus, the agreement to do nothing was
capable of two constructions. One is
that they did not want to go on record
as openly abrogating the Kansas City plat
form. and the other is that they did not
want TO endorse it.
By the resolutions which were adopted
a middle course is pursued. which in
effect leaves each individual member to
do as he sees fit, as will best encourage
his constituents to return him to Con-
gress.
Resolutions Adopted.
The caucus met at 5 o'clock In the Hall
of Representatives, and the Mcclellan,
Burleson, and other resolutions having
been thrashed out by the caucus commit
tee of twelve, Mr.. Richardson OF Tennes
see presented the majority report sign
ed by eleven mmbrs.
1t reads as follows:
I'VE are of opinion that, as the Repre-
sentatiyes of our various constituents
and as members of the caucus made up
OF such Representatives. We have no
power or authority to construct or pro-
mulgate a platform OF principles for our
party.
THAT we caLnot increase or minimize
the binding effect of platforms Of the party
heretofore regularly made and adopted
by the people in convention assembled for
that purpose.
THAT in the house OF which we are
members, we should vigorously and ag-
gressively battle for Democratic princi-
pies, and with equal vigor and aggressive
ness we should oppose everything con-
principles, and should meet each question
as 1t arises with a full conference and
a solid and undivided front"
