Mr.. Wulpi said that Mr.. Yost had Of

refused; that the matter was brought to the
club by Mr.. Howell. He defended the club
from the insinuation OF Mr.. Yost. and sail
that the sec, 900 switchboard spoken Of by
Mr.. Yost had been charged off at the rate
OF 10 per cent a year for ten years; that

MITCHELL CLAIMS VICTORY
Union Leader Pleased with Award,
While Reading Ohicial Pities


DETROIT, March 21.-"The decision Of
the strike commission is, on the whole, a
decided victory for the miners, and I am
pleased with it," said President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers to-
night.
THE most important feature Of the
awards" he continued, lis, OF course, the
wage increase. This will result in an an
nual increase in the wages of 140, 900 an
thracite miners OF Pennsylvania Of $6,000,-
900. The sliding scale provided for by the
commission is satisfactory, inasmuch as a
minimum OF $3.50 per ton is fixed. With
white ash coal at $3.50 at tidewater, the
increase will be equivalent to 20 per cent
more on the miners wages"
President Mitchell was asked II he was
disappointed because the commission did
not recognize the union formally, and re-
piled that he wes not, because the decision
was in itself a recognition Of the power and
inuence Of the union.
After the increase in wages" said Mr..
Mitchell, 1.-THE most important of the
awards are the ones fixing a nine-hour day
and providing for a board Of Cancellation.
The award gives a nine-hour day, with ten
hours pay, directly TO 10000 men and
practically all Of the employees Of the an

will result in great good and l am much
pleased with 1t. 1t will compel investiga-
tion Of both sides Of controversies between
the miners and operators and bring the
employers into closer relationship with
their men. This cannot help but bring
most beneficial results"
The commission's recommendation OF
more stringent enforcement Of the laws
against child labor would result in great
good. l think that his will result in
securing the passage OF the law now pend

TALK TELEPHONE RATE BILL

Discuss Subject without
Result.

Senator NJ. A. Hall was before the Com
mercisl club yesterday afternoon TO tell
the members why he refused TO permit
senate hle 234, the telephone rate bill, to
be considered by the senate.
The senator said that in his life he had
never made a rule to explain his action
and that he did not propose to do 1t now.
that he believed in home rule and unless
good reasons are shown him he would con-
tinue his policy of opposition, for the reason
that he did not propose 10 have the legis-
lature assume powers now conferred upon

Mr.. Wulpi said the bill, which Is TO amend

home rule in Omaha. as It took the matter
nom the city council and placed IL in the
hands of the people OF the city. While the
bill contemplated an independent line, Il

at a most opportune time for the formation

so successfully, that it fell to Sir Michael

years have laid the foundation for an ex-
pansive organization of troops through
drafts upon the national guardsmen. who
enlarge. In the degree, therefore. that IN
time of peace the volunteer soldiers are
kept up to the regular army standard. this
process of expansion will be made easy and
effective. AS before. much will depend
upon the character and efficiency of the
volunteer officers, and thus 1t Is perhaps
most greatly to their interest that these Oc-
casional joint maneuvers should be held.
Money spent in conducting such assem-
blages Of troops should be regarded as an
excellent investment. even though there
may be not the slightest prospect Of war.
Preparedness Is the best defense. The coun-
try learned In 1893 that the science Of war
fare had developed remarkably in thirty
years. Everything now moves faster. The
scale has changed. The first few months
are no longer marked by the same painful
process Of preparation which characterized
the struggle between the sections OF this
country. Weeks instead Of months must
suffice to reorganize the expanded army
and to put into the field several hundred
thousand men. fully armed. sufficiently
equipped and provisfoned, and above all,
efficiently Differed, all parts Of the great
machine working in harmony. If no war
should come during the lifetime Of the men

the national point Of view, satisfactory and

The Joint Army Maneuvers.

Great good to both the regular and the
volunteer military services should result
from the joint maneuvers which are about
to begin in Kentucky on a scale hitherto
unknown in this country. Twenty-Five thou
sand troops will assemble, make camp,
drill. engage In sham battles and conduct
themselves precisely as though confronted
by real enemy. The conduct of the troops
will be closely watched by some of the
highest officers in the army, and the evil
dences of failure TO reach the requisite
standard OF efficiency will be noted for
future measures. Particular pains will be
taken TO associate the regulars and the
militia closely, to blend the two
branches of the country's defensive forces
into harmonious body. In this under
taking the militiamen have more to learn
from the regulars than the regulars from
them, but the cooperation of the standing
army with the reserves cannot fail to be
helpful to the former.
During the preliminaries to the war with
Spain one of the most regrettable disclos-
ures observed by the country was the diff
ference between the two standards. Much
time was lost. and II may be many lives
were sacrificed on this account. Part,cu-
larly in the encampments. where the troops
were modified before the invasion of Cuba.
did the deficiencies of the volunteer forces
show themselves. The occasional outings
OF these citizen-soldiers had not sufficed to
drill them into the best ways Of campaign
Ing. They were neglectful Of the precau-
tons for the preservation Of health, which
are among the prime essentials to good
military administration. The fault lay
largely in the officers. who were unac-
qualified with the requirements attending

head-is now a garden spot. the home or

pensable portion of the American Union
By-the-way, who were the anti-imperialists
of that day? The whole world knows
Thomas Jefferson, and his countrymen re-
we're his memory, but only close students or
history can name the men who appear so
absurd today in the light OF their opposition
to Mr. Jefferson's far-seeing craftsmanship.
Let US look forward hundred years. Let
us suppose the Philippine archipelago still
under American sovereignty. Let US sup
pose a continuance Of the progress SO hap
ply referred to by the Indianapolis Journal.
Let US suppose Manila grown to be the
New York of the orient. None OF these Is
a violent superstition. Let US suppose
project for the celebration of the hundredth
anniversary of American control. We PAID
twenty millions for the islands-two dollars
per head for the inhabitants, as the anti
mperialists witheringly assert. Would
twenty millions be an extravagant sum to
be laid out at Manila for exhibition pur-
poses?
Or let us suppose the progress SO great,
and changes in the map meanwhile SO adj
visable. that the Filipinos by that time are
enjoying independent government. Let us
suppose a celebration by them of the pro-
gress of the archipelago In the hundred
years since Spain's downfall. Is 1t difficult
to imagine the terms of the invitation which
would be issued to the United States gov
eminent to participate in such great fete?
Would any American visitor be surprised to
find the name of William Mckinley almost
as much revered there as here at home?
And. If suddenly interrogated could any
