BEFORE PAssIxG the last of the great
supply bills the republicans of the House,
assisted BY 26 democrats, many of whom
are now serving their last terms, adopt
ed an amendment to the general deic-
ieucy bill appropriating $3.50, 900 to pay
mileage to members of the second session
of the Fifty-eighth Congress. The extra
session merged into the regular session,
but on the so-called Constructive re-
cess" theory the members claim they
are entitled to mileage for trip which
it was a physical impossibility for them
TO make. Considerable indignation was
by several democratic members
over what they termed the mileage
grab" amendment, and is not unlikely
that il will be stricken out in the SEN
ate. 1t required over an hour to secure
a quorum, the vote remaining practical
ly tie throughout the call. Intense
interest prevailed. The advocates and
OF the proposition we're very
active on the floor of the House and out
in the Hobbies securing votes. As the
Senate has just decided against ICON
structive recesses" it is hoped that that
body will kill the mileage grab.

strychaine in the Bottle.

Honolulu, March 2.-Thc report of the
chemist removed the doubt of the cause
of Mrs. Stsnford's death, the wealthy
California woman, which occurred here
Tuesday night. The analysis of the
contents of bottle of carbonate OF soda,
discloses the presence of a large
quantity Of strychnine. According to the
statements of Miss Berner, Mrs. Stan
ford's secretary, and her maid, May
Hunt, the bottle was brought from the
medicine chest of tie San Francisco
mansion unopened until Tuesday night,
when the fatal dose was taken. This
proves conciusiveIy that death was the
result of a plot formed in California over
a month ago, and also that other attempts
have been made TO poison Mrs. Stanford.

The ACCIDENT on the electric railway
early last night, which resulted in the
death of one passenger and the injury
of nearly all others on the colliding
trains. was the main subject of CONVERSE
ton last night and today in this city.
An accident in the nature OF the one
that occurred had long been anticipated,
as the reckless manner in which trains
at high speed have been passing 10 and
out of tunnel, the southern approach
to which is via a sharp curve, was sure
to result in a mishap sooner or later.
The accident was serious from every
standpoint, and the fact that more dire
results might have followed is no excuse
for those responsible for its occurrence.
A coroners jury is to investigate the
matter, when the blame will be placed
where it belongs. From all that can be
learned the responsibility seems to rest
upon the crew of the north bound train,
which was special, and supposed to
lookout for trains running on regular
schedules. Why the extra did not stop
at PAYNE street and await the passing OF
the incoming train remains to be ex-
planned to the coroner's jury.

We look at what the United States has
done when we see what is being done
now. when we realize that we have at
tanned the position ofsecOnd naval power
in the world, say when we go beyond
that il is useless extravaganza.
We have at this session of Congress
turned down recommendation after
intended for per-
fectlon of the navy we now nave
in existence or under construction,
and we have turned down those rec
concentrations from the department
not that they were not wisely made, not
that they were unnecessary, but admit
ting that there was urgent demand Tor
IN, m. we have turned them down in the
interest of economy. We have turned
them down because the magnitude OF the
naval bill has become menace to the
revenues of the country. feel that the
time has come when we should halt.
feel that the time has come when
with safety and with sound judgment
we may perfect the naval establish
ment. 1t may be necessary next year
or some other year to continue the
process of construction. / am not here
TO say that we must never go further for
ward than we have gone. But l am mere
to express my deliberate judgment that
we are going too fast, and that halt should
be called in this constant and what be-
lieye to be excessive work of construction
of expensive battleships. The experiences
in the conflict between Russia and Japan
may teach US something, and we ought
TO have the benefit Of that experience,
which is so near at hand. before we go
to1 far in this costly matter.
In these words Senator Csrmack ex-
blamed President ROosevelt's desirer for
continually increasing naval establish
ment: at is not the Monroe doctrine
but Imperialism that calls for this great
navy. The defense of the Monroe doc
trine is a mere pretext." He said The
acquisition of the Philippines and other
territory outside the United States has in
spired the desire for imperial power, 10
secure which the President has become
nsvy-mad. But despite all arguments
urged against the bill it was passed, tor
Mr.. Roosevelt had said he would con-
slider it personal afront if it were de-
feated.
