HOUSE Is AGAINST
INCREASE OF ARMY
Senat" Amendment Providing
Additions to Have Rough
Passage in Conference.

PECIAL
Washington, March 6.-The army appro.
priation bill. which has been reported &c
the Senate with amendments and Is on the
programme for consideration tomorrow,
providing consideration of the naval ap-
preparation bill is then completed, Is likely
TO have a lively time in conference after
it gets through the Senate. An amend
ment put on by the Senate Military Affairs
Committee is the item which is expected
10 cause the trouble.
The Senate committee amendment pro-
poses to increase the standing army of the
United States by an addition Of more
than Loo men. accounted for as follows:
A new battalion for the Porto Rican
regiment, thus necessitating an additional
force of $50 men and the appointment OF a
Major, Colonel. four Captains. seven First
Lieutenants and four Second Lieutenants;
the appointment of 100 additional Quarter
master Sergeants, ant the reorganization
and material increase of the Signal Corps.
The House committee claims that the
Senate committee. in adopting these rad
ical changes in the measure, not only adds
unnecessarily to the expenses. of the Gov
m but has also, in a way, usurped
the recognized rights and privileges OF. the
House TO propose and enact such legisla-
ton II it is thought expedient.
The feeling in the matter Is heightened
by the fact that when. shortly after the
Spanish-American War, the standing army
was increased from 5000 to 10o.000 men,
there was a general understanding, it is
asserted. that no more additions would be
asked for.
II is well understood that the army as at
present constituted is not by any means
enrolled to the full limit of 100. COO, but the
objection lies against increasing the skel-
eton formation. Should the amendment
be accepted by both houses, 1t would make
the future strength of the army 10l ,00o.
and this offends the House members who
relied on the promise which they declare
was made to them when the present legis-
lation was enacted.
There is no doubt of the present general
feeling of dissatisfaction among the MEM
bers Of the House committee on account Of
this action on the part Of the senate.

TO ELECT CELIA
TRANSIT DIRECTOR
Stockholders of United Railways
Will Meet To-Day and a Joint
Conference May Follow.

At the meeting of the stockholders of
the Transit Company tomorrow Louis
Celia of the Celia Commission Company
will be elected a member of the Board of
Directors.
1t has been known for some time that
the firm of which Mr.. Celia is the head
has been acquiring large blocks of the Sc
curities of the Transit Company. and 1t is
expected that the holdings. which will be
voted on the cumulative plan. have as
sured the firm representation on the
board.
1t was supposed that Mr.. TILES would
represent the firm. but recent develop
ments have disproved this supposition.
"A meeting Of the stockholders of the
United Railways will be held to-day for
the purpose Of electing q board OF direct
ors and transacting any other business
believed that a joint meeting OF the d.
%rectors Of the Transit Company and the
United Railways will be held Wednesday
for the purpose OF electing officers.
The conflicting statements made in re-
gard to the disposition of the improve
ment and collateral refunding bonds of
the Transit Gompa1y, which are guaran5
the local stock market to huctuate in a
rather distressing manner.
1t Is proposed that 100000. face value.
VI the DODQs are 10 pc nOdteQ IN OrQeT
that debts incurred for improvements and
other large OUTLAWS may be retired.
Negotiations have been pending for
Of these bonds. and 1t is stated that local
financial institutions have agreed to take
100000 of them, and Brown Brothers of
New York are willing to take 100000.
The only trouble is in placing the re-
naming 100000, which Is believed to be
rather difficult.
Statements have been made that as a
result Of the difficulty experienced in dis
posing of the 100000 a syndicate is being
formed in St Louis to take the entire
500. 900 issue.
That the Transit Company is making
money, as far as its operation is con-
cerned, Is proven by the statement of its
February earnings, which show a gain In

RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION

people; persist in using their native
language; live IN as crude manner
as they were accustomed to in their
former homes. 1t is no uncommon
occurrence for their young people to
celebrate the christening of the first
born and their wedding on the same
occasion; quite often, however, the
latter event is indefinitely postponed,
or until some legal complication
arises; they have not the the least scru-
pie against perjuring themselves, when
by so doing, it will tend to benefit
them financially or otherwise. They
pay just as little attention to the edu-
cation of their children as the law
will permit them to do, and while
they utilize their franchise privilege
at the earliest opportunity, their con-
ception of that privilege always seems
to be associated with monetary con-
sideration. They are apt scholars in
learning the art of avoiding the pay.
ment of their just share of taxes, and
they spend more money for liquor than
they do for provisions and clothing.
Ofcourse, there are exceptions to this
rule, and l can readily see where diff
culties might arise in drawing the
line, but still think the time has arri
we'd when more rigid immigration laws
should be enacted. G. 7. X.
