humble though patriotic citizen, but it
is at least obvious that the country
has not been in a hurry to honor his
memory, for the spot where his body
was laid to rest was for many years
forgotten. Last spring the sexton of
the Pine Street Presbyterian church,
Philadelphia, found the tombstone
originally erected at the head Of his
grave. 1t had become half buried in
moss and underground. The local
chapter Of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution became interested in
the discovery, and as a result suita-
BILE monument is at last to be erected
over the resting place of the man who
rang out the glad news of the birth of
a new nation.

At THE THEATERS
Vaudeville at the Phillips.

Anyone who has the impression
that interest in vaudeville is on the
decrease would have had his mind
disabused by visit to the New Phil
lips last night when standing room
was the order to see the opening
night performance of this weeks bill.
Although the weather was extremely
warm, the house was kept comforta-
BILE by the numerous fans. The bill
this week is a lively one and requires
almost two hours for its presentation.
John and Carrie Mack, put on a bit
of humor and some coon songs and
Mr.. Mack tells some stories that are
both new and good. Ivy Delmar and
Ivy have a clever sketch. entitled
The Finish of Alexander" that con-
tains much that is amusingg as well
as some good musical numbers. One
Of the most laughable portions of the
turn is Ivy's talk on the subject of
woman. Thomas F. Shea appears as
a tramp singer and dancer. being es-
pecially clever in the latter feature.
Willis and Barren, presenting "Hooli-
gan the Insurance Agent" conclude
the bill, with the exception of the mo-
ton pictures, and have a lively act
that is peculiar to them. Their efforts
to amuse are very successful and
there is no denying that they spare
no pains to give the audience the best
they have. One of the illustrated
songs this week is For Sale, a Baby
and the other is a war song, both be-
ing deliberately illustrated. The Phil
oscope shows The Shooting Expedi-
ton and Those Terrible Kids" The
outlook is for a big weeks business
at the New Phillips.

FRANCE IS FOR
A STRONG NAVY

PARIS-M. Lockroy, former minister
of marine. took advantage of the dis
cussion of the naval budget in the
chamber of deputies to make power
full appeal for the strengthening of the
navy, which aroused the enthusiasm of
the whole house Comparing the
French and German navies NJ. Locltroy
pointed out that if the present program
of France is not augmented Germany
will soon outstrip France. Should
war between France and Germany
break out, the speaker said, it would
begin with a naval battle and therefore
a doubly powerful French fleet was
necessary to defend herself both in the
North sea and in the Mediterranean.

VIGILANCE over the state bank, thus pre-
venting its use for further French pol
litical designs. The French resist this,
claiming that Germany is chiefly occu-
pied with minimizing French influence
in Morocco. The delegates now talk
of the struggle being prolonged to the
latter part of March.

STATEHOOD TALK
SENATOR M'cUMeER DISCUSSES
THE MEASURE.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE BILL
Argument Against the Consolidation
OF Territories Into Fewer States-A
Vote on the Measure Soon to Be
Taken.

| NGTON-Thursday afforded
the last opportunity for general debate
| in tho senate on the statehood bill and
the entire session was devoted to that
order of business. Starting with a
speech by Mr.. McCumber, which be-
gan few minutes after II o'clock,
there was no cessation in the speaking
until the adjournment late in the even
ing. The whole time was occupied by
three senators, Mr.. Beverage support
ing the bill and Messrs. McCumber
and Patterson opposing it. The In
diana senator contended that while
Arizona and New Mexico were unpre-
pared for separate statehood It was
unjust to keep them out of the union
as one state. He took positive ground
against the Foraker amendment, which
allows each territory to vote sepa-
rately on the question of jOinture. Mr..
McCumber opposed the joining of even
Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and
Mr.. Patterson held that Arizona and
New Mexico should be admitted as
separate states.
Under agreement arrived at a week
ago, the senate will begin voting on
the amendments offered TO the bill at
p. m. tomorrow and the final vote
will be taken before adjournment for
the day. The time previous to
o'clock will be devoted to ten-minute
speeches on the bill and mendments.
Mr.. McCumber introduced his speech
by presenting a substitute for the
statehood bill, creating one state of
Oklahoma and another of Indian Terri
tory, the latter under the name Of Sc
quota, in honor of the Cherokee scholar
of that name, and entirely eliminating
New Mexico and Arizona.
He made an argument against the
consolidation of the territories into
fewer states, contending that more
western states were necessary to give
agriculture and other transmississipp
interests strong representation in con-
gress. He predicted in the near future
the west would have a much larger
population than the east and said that
even If the present boundary lines

possible to secure as many states as
there were east of the Mississippi, and
that therefore the balance of power in
the senate must necessarily be against
the western section.
Mr.. McCumber declared that the
time would come when the east would
find its protection in the west. He
referred to the influence of foreign i'm
migration in eastern communities and
In this connection said that at it's last
election Chicago had elected a socialist

WASHINGTON-The house com
mittee on irrigation of arid land de-

the French bill in an amended form.
AS agreed upon the bill provides that

TO DEFEND COAST
PRESIDENT SENDS A SPECIAL
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
A COMPLETE SYSTEM is NEEDED
Increased Wealth Of Country offers In.
dueements to Attaek-cost Of Com
plotting Defenses is Estimated at
$5o,979,39e.

WASHINGTON - President Rooso
welt sent a message to congress ac-
companying plans for coast defense
prepared by joint board of army and
navy officers, in which he emphasized
the necessity for further defenses and
reviews the history of the defensive
works in this country. The president
calls especial attention to the recon.
mendation of the board that the en-.
trance to Chesapeake bay be added to
the list of places in the United States
TO be defended He says the insular
possessions cannot be longer neglected
If the United States desires to hold
them.
Defenses are recommended for Ma
Mia bay Pearl harbor, Guantanamo,
Guam, San Juan and Honolulu, be-
cause of their strategic locations. De-
lenses are also recommended for en-
frances to the Panama canal.
The presidents message concludes:
The necessity for n complete and
adequate system of coast defense is
greater today that twenty years ago,
for the increased wealth of the coun-
try offers more tempting inducements
to attack and hostile fleet can reach
our coast in a much shorter period of
time. The fact that we now have
navy does not in any wise diminish the
Importance of coast deienses; on the
contrary, that emphasizes their value
and necessity for their construction. 1t
is an accepted naval maxim that
navy can be used to strategic advan-
tage only when acting on the offensive
and 1t can be free to SO operate, only
when our coast defense is reasonably
secure and so recognized by the coun-
try.
1t was due to the securely defended
condition of the Japanese ports that
the Japanese fleet was free to seek out |
and watch its proper objective-the |
Russian fleet-without fear Of inter.
ruption or recall to guard its home |
against raids by the Vladivostok |
squadron, This, one of the most val
liable lessons of the late war in the
east, is worthy of serious consideration
by our country with its extensive coast
line, its many important harbors and
its many wealthy manufacturing coast
cities.
"The security and protection of our
interests require the completion of the
defenses Of our coast and the accom-
panylng plan merits and should receive
the generous support of the congress"
1t his letter transmitting the report
of the board to the president, Secre-
tary Taft says the board estimates the
cost of completing the defenses at
50,S79, 1893 or $22 1896, SOC less than the
sum proposed by the Endicott board.
The secretary says the growth of the
country the improvements of the ord-
nance and the increase of the navy in
the last twenty years have brought
about Encouragement of, and add
lions to, the list OF ports made by the
Endicott board.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE
BY PRAIRIE FIRES

AUSTIN, Tex.-According to reports
received prairie fires that have been
sweeping the extreme western sec.
ton of the Panhandle for the past
three days have entailed a loss up to
the present time of upwards Of one
million dollars. The fire did the most
damage in Lamb and Hockey coun-
ties, burning over many acres OF land
and destroying hundreds of cattle. In.
asmuch as it will be six weeks before
the spring grass will come forth it has
been found necessary for all cattlemen
in that section to move their cattle
into New Mexico for range purposes.
