ARMY BILL PASSES
MORE PAY FOR OFFICERS AND EN-
 LISTED MEN.
,The Average Salaries of Enllated Men of The Army aa New .ESk&b-
 lished ts Increased Foffy. Mnn GAnA

s~
 lished is Tncreased Forty.
 Per Cent.
 Washington, March 6--The army bill was passed by the Senate today. The bin provides for army officers and graded increase of pay ranging from five per cent for lieutenant generals to twenty-five per cent for the junior of- ficers. It also provides that the average pay of enlisted men of the army as now established is increased forty per cent"
 This amendment, suggested by Mr. Culberson of Texas, takes away the discretion of the President in fixing the pay of soldiers. Mir. Warren offered a committee amendment which was adopted providing that nothing in the bill shall be interpreted as affecting the pay in the navy. Mir. Teller spoke on the bill, reverting to giving the President discretion in fixing the pay in the army and said that if the power is ever to be increased. 1t should be an amendment to the constitution. He declared that great armies often have had power to name the chief executive of nations and contended that there should be no authority given the Presi- dent to fix the pay of soldiers. however remote might seem danger from that source.
 OEuAtOT OCOll ICdu a LEOll A banker who stated army officers pay three per cent interest per month to have their salaries discounted because their incomes are so small
 An amendment was offered by Mir. Bacon and adopted. giving two months pay to families of officers upon their deathj
 Senator ,McLaurin suggested that survivors of enlisted men be given the ,N q.,aa 4 IA. sxHN NsmrA ax as provided in the case of officers. Mir. McLaurin said he did not think any distinction should be made between of- ficers and men in this respect. especial ly as the officers have many advan- tages due to their positions while liv- ing.
 Mir. Warren suggested that officers spend their lives in the service while enlisted men are there during shorter periods. He believed in giving equa treatment but thought the cases might not be found parallel.
 T am unwilling that this discrimina- tion shall be made against the private soldier" said MT. McLaurin. Tn this country it is presumed one man Is as good as another. It may be the en- listed man is not able to get a com mission or an education necessary tc enter the academy but he ought to be treated as an American citizen and this discrimination ought not to be made"
 MT. Warren and Mir. Teller both ap- proved of the principle of Mir. Bacon's amendment. and suggested that more than two months pay be given rela- tives of the officers at death. Upon that suggestion. MT. Bacon changed the amendment to allow SIX months pay at death.
 As passed by the Senate. this pro- l vision applied equally to oficers and l enlisted men.

OPPOSES THE TREATY
or THE CONGO
 ARoUsEs TALK.
Memberp of Parliament TAlnk King Leopold Wants Toe Much And E. His Proposition VIII Be
 Dieeussed. W

1russells. March 6-Although q rough canvass of the Chamber or Deputies by friends of King Leopold indicates that the body Is in favor or the New Congo annexation treaty by a majority of thirty. the members or the opposition, encouraged by the par tial surrender of his majesty already are preparing for desperate fight against any restriction on Beigium's control of the Congo. and liberty to eradicate the abuses of the existing re- gime.
 The new treaty was submitted to Parliament yesterday by Premier Schollaert and was sent to committee without debate. The opposition re- sessions as a limit on the exercise of the sovereignty of Belgium and con sequently as absolutely inadnissible.
 King Leopold, members of the op- position say, would retain an immense indirect revenue from these private concessions. The financial side of the transaction also is most unsatisfactory to the opposition.
 A prominent socialist said today:
 '.The Belgium people will be suf- ficiently generous if they assume the debts of the Congo independency and the charges against the crown domain without contracting such side obliga- tions an annuities to Belgian Princes and an aliowance to the King and 1t will be better for the Colonial admin istration of Belgium to undertake to build hospitals and schools in the Congo and conduct scientific work there than to grant the King Se00,eOe year for the purpose"
 The failure of the government fo give out the full text of the new treaty has created . distinctly unfavorabIe impression today. The afternoon papers of Brussels publish interviews with number of members of the cabi- net and Chamber of Deputies. in which fear is expressed that the text of the treaty, which is now promised for next Sunday, may conceal some trick.
 Even the official synopsis of the treaty. the deputies declare to be un- acceptabIe, especially that portion re- ferring to the recognition of the rights granted an American company to over $500. 600 hectares of land, as we'll as concessions giving the forest and min erai company exclusive mineral and timber rights owe 100000 hectares,
