NATL GUARD REORGANIZATION
Bill introduced in Congress for That
Purpose.

A bill for the purpose of reorganizing the
National Guard of the District of Columbia
was introduced in Congress today. This
bill is offered an amendment to the ex-
listing National Guard law which was en-
acted by Congress March 1, 1889. Under
the proposed legislation the District bril-
gade will conform in every particular to the
organization now in effect in the regular
army.
There will he one brigadier general who
is also the brigadier general commanding
the District militia, who will have a stan
which will consist of one assistant adjutant
general with the rank of lieutenant colonel,
one surgeon with the rank OF lieutenant
colonel and an inspector, judge advocate.
quartermaster. commissary, ordnance Of
icer and engineer, each with the rank of
major. This cuts out the inspector general
of rifle practice Of the present organization.
But two aids-de-camp are allowed under
the new BILL The bill also provides that
the officer of the regular army assigned to
duty as the adJutant general of the Dis
trict militia shall have the pay and al
lowances of a lieutenant colonel on the ac-
live list Of the army.
The National Guard Is to consist, accord
ing to the new bill, of not more than thirty
two companies of infantry, four companies
of coast artillery, one troop of cavalry, one
battery of field artillery, one signal corps,
one hospital corps and three bands The
organization of the infantry regiment Is to
be changed so that the staff of the colonel
commanding will consist of one adjutant.
one commissary, ona quartermaster. all
with the rank Of captain. The regimental
medical officers are to be one surgeon with
the rank of major, two assistant surgeons
with the rank Of captain. and one assistant
surgeon with the rank of first Lieutenant.
The battalion organization will include one
major, one adjutant with the rank of first
lieutenant and one quartermaster and COM
nissary with the rank of second lieutenant.
One of the most radical changes In the
present law is in the sections relating to
military courts, &C.. in which the courts
are given power to compel attendance of
witnesses and to punish for contempt in
the same manner as the criminal courts
OF the District, and that the sentences of
the military courts, whether fine or inn
prisonment, shall be executed by the
United States marshal of the District In
the same manner as are the sentences of
the criminal courts of the District. Every
effort is to be made by Gen. Harries. the
commanding officer of the District bril-
gade and the officers associated with him
to secure the passage of the bill soon
as possible. so that the reorganization OF
the national guard can be effected before
the organization goes to camp for the
summer The bill has been prepared very
carefully by Gen. Harries. Lieut.. Col.
Brett and Maj. Davidge. the judge advo-
cate general. in the interest of the Ma
tfonal Guard, and IT II believed that there
will be no diff1culty in securing les pass
age through Congress Immediately.

CHICAGO VOTES TODAY.
Most Interesting Election in Years
Elects Half of Council.

Elects Half of Council.
CHICAGO, April 5.-The municipal cleo
ton in Chicago today was the most inter-
esting in many years. involving not only
the selection Of thirty-6ve aldermen-one-
half of the city council--but the question OF
municipal ownership of street railways.
There were multitude of candidates In
the thirty-five wards and the contests have
been lively for weeks, as the aldermen
elected with the hold-overs, will have TO
act on the necessary ordinances in case
the city acquires the street car lines. The
advocates of municipal ownership made
hard preliminary fight and the Interest
aroused brought to the polls an unusual
number of voters for city election.
What is known as the Mueller law,
passed by the state legislature. was sub
mitted to the voters. The enactment au-
thorizes cities in Illinois to construct, own,
operate and lease street railways, and 10
provide the means therefor. The voters
today also ballotted on the questions:
Shall the council, upon the adoption OF
the Mueller law, proceed to acquire owner
ship of the street railways under thespow-
ers conferred by the Mueller law, and shall
the council, instead of granting franchises,
license the street railway companies until
municipal ownership can be secured, ana
compel them to give satisfactory ser
vice?
In addition to choosing the aldermen and
voting on municipal ownership OF street
railways the voters bailotted to decide
whether the members of the city board
of education, now appointed by mayor,
are to be elected by the people, also wheth-
er south side property shall be taxed one
half a mill for the support of the Field
Columbian Museum. and whether the John
Crerar library building to cost $1,O00,OUO
shall be located on the lake front.

Mr.. MORGAN HEARD.
Calls on Attorney General for
Information as to Canal.
MATTER IS REFERRED
POLITICAL SPEECHES MADE IN
THE HOUSE.
Representative Prince Urges Independ-
ence on the Part of the Legislative
Branch Of the Government.

The Senate began today's proceedings
by passing the following bills: Authoriz-
ing a bridge across Dog river in jackson
county, Miss.
Authorizing the selection OF 2O,0D acres
of public lands in the state OF Minnesota
for forestry purposes.
Mr.. Morgan's Resolution.
Mr. Morgan called up his resolution di.
recting the Attorney General to inform the
Senate whether he has made ~or is making
on behalf of the United States purchase
of rights granted by Colombia to N. B.
Wyse for the construction of an isthmiah
canal. or any interest in the Panama rail-
road He used the resolution as the foun-
dation for speech on the Panama canal
situation. declaring that the new Panama
Canal Company is only lessee of the
property rights on the isthmus. and said
that when we pay to the government OF
Panama the S100OO000 this government
will be entitled to deal with the canal
company as tenant.
He criticised in sharp language what he
denounced as the surrender of the United
States to the new Panama Canal Com
Dany saving that "there is some undiS-
closed influence at work which has given
that company control of all our recent &C.
tons in connection with the cdHdi enter
prise" He predicted that If there should
lie delay the new canal company, backed
by France, would be responsible Tor ~,
and he limited at the possibility OF the
company's refusing outright to make
satisfactory sale. He pointed to what ne
called the delay in making payment 10
Panama and said that it was in strong
contrast with the haste manifested IN Sc
curing the ratification of the Hay-bunau
Varilla treaty and argued that this delay
was due to the demands of the canal COM
rany.
After closing his speech MIR. Morgan
asked for vote on his resolution, but MT.
Kittredge moved to refer it to the commit
tee on interoceanic canals. Mr. morgan
made an appeal for vote. saying that his
only object was to obtain information, ana
that he desired to expedite work on the
canal.
II know he said, that l am playing
lone hand. but 1 am not afraid to do so SO
long as hold the joker"
Resolution Referred.
The resolution was referred.
resolution was passed authorizing the
librarian of the Library of Congress to re-
turn to the state of Vermont the record OF
the conventions held in Vermont in ltI6
and 1177 for the purpose of organizing a
