In the Senate.

The Senate committee on military
affairs heard James e. Runcie, OF Ha-
vana, probably the most important
witness that will be offered by the
opponents Of General Leonard Wood,
in their attempt to prevent his confir-
nation to major general. Major Kun ce
was on the stand several times during
the day telling the committee OF din
ner at Santiago, Cuba, attended by
himself, General Wood and Ray stan
dard Baker, a newspaper man, at
which, it is alleged, was planned the
magazine article attacking Major Cen
elal Brooke. that has figured conspicu-
ously in the Wood case. Major Runice
was stopped more than once during the
course of his testimony and told to
give nothing but facts Of which he had
personal knowledge. This did not ex-
clude his story of the dinner incident.
which resulted in the issue OF suopoe-
aaes for three other witnesses, among
whom is General Brooke. In his testl-
mony, Major Runice complained that
he had acted as the confidential ad-
wiser of General Wood for nearly two
years and that they lived together at
Santiago. 1t was while they were llvlng
in Havana that they went to Santiago
in search Of a magazine article. A
meeting was arranged between the
three men and a dinner followed, tes-
tilted Major Runice. at which was dis
cussed the plan to have published an
article which would exploit the sue
cess of General Wood in dealing with
affairs at Santiago and draw a cor
parison with the situation at Havana
unfavorable to the administration OF
General Brooke.
good deal OF sensational testimony
was brought out.

Pettus,s Great Victory.

Senator Pettus gained a remarkable victory this afternoon when ne induced the Senate to strike from the militia bill that clause which would hnve. accord- Ing to his view, virtually added a hun dred thousand men to the standing army of the United States
 It will be remembered by The Adverti- ser's readers that Senator Pettus oppos- ed that clause of this extremely impor- tant bill because t ten1ed to take away from the States the ofii.ering and control of the National Guard and practically making the National Guard a part of the army in that it would be subject to dl- rect call of the President
 This was such a radical departure from the old custom of calling on the States for volunteers or to supply in their own way their quota of troops m national need, that Senator Pettus determined to do his utmost to strike out the provision of an otherwise admirable measure and his ef- forts were this afternoon finally success full.
 It Is Senator Pettus's greatest victory in the Senate and 1t Is pleasing to his friends that 1t comes on the eve of his reelection.

measure came from some of the mem- oers representing coal States who ex- pressed the fear that the admission of Chinese mined coal from Canada would n1ure the coal industry of their States
 Both Mir. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Mr Payne of New York, the Republi- can leaders expressed the opinion on the floor that the bill would not relieve the existing distress. They said it would satisfy public demand for action and show the disposition of Congress to do what 1t could. The Democrats, although they all supported the bill took the view that 1t did not go far enough. saying that coal should go on the free list and when the bill came back from the Senate with provision which virtually placed anthra- cite coal on the free list they applauded vigorously.
 MT. Dalzell, in the course of his re- marks today, said there was practically no anthracite coal in the world except that in the United States and little in China. The Senate amendment was adopted without division.
 Rapid progress was made with the army appropriation bill after the coal bill had been passed. The most important amend ment adopted were to increase the num- Der of officers in the signal corps by 9, eight first lieutenants and another to prevent the discontipuance of the army transport service without action by Con RreSs.

Free Coal BiIl.

There is more of elaptrap than honest merit in the free coal bill which finally passed both houses this afternoon. It is mainly humbug playing to the unthink- ing gallery gods who care more for the cracking of peanut hulls than for honest relief from the burdens of Dlngieytsm. The Dingley law itself, infamous as 10 fig. comes near enough to- providing . way for free ceal other than anthracite and that has a broad application.
