in excess of expenditures of s52,o0o,- 900, difference of $s0,0o0,o0o. We are certain to have a large deficiency in the revenues"
 No Cotton Claim Money.
 He added that there were pending be- fore the senate special bills involving more than $100,000,000 and referring to MT. Bacon he said he was sorry to see an economist in observation" ad- vocating a bill to pay $10,000,000 for certain cotton claims, and there were other bills taking money out of the treasury that. he said, would insure an increased deficiency.
 Mir. Beveridge having said that an army of 65,000 would be useless against a single army corps, MT. Hale inquir- ed:
 where does the senator think this imaginary army corps is to some from?" asked MT. Hale.
 He added that conflict of this coun- try with another needing a large army was practically impossible. He would have no more soldiers and said the senator from Indiana would never see a war. He characterized war talk as sheer nonsense"
 Mir. Warren suggested that it was the unexpected that happens"
 Mir. Warren defended the army and 
 looking after river and harbor work, and added that there was no country in the world with so small an army as the United States. excepting Switz- erland.
 Mir. Aldrich suggested that this country was better protected natural ly than any other.
 Did the Secretary of War" ask ed Mir. GallinEer, fin a recent speech favor a large increase in the army?''
 Mir. Warren said he did not know Of such speech, but hoped that "the country would grow fast enough and rich enough to feel like having an army as large as suggested"
 T hope not" said Mir Hale.
 Senator Hale having left the cham Der, Senator Frye moved in his col leagues behalf to lay on the table tho motion of the latter to reconsider.
 Burkett Defends Taft.
 Senator Burkett of Nebraska criti- cized this action as an unwarranted method of "criticizing a man now at- tracting attention in this country
 We inject into this body" said Mr. Burketti "a political discussion that the senator from Maine had no right to inject into the debate. It is a po- litical attack upon certain political candidate in this country and has not the element of fairness"
 He charged the Maine Senator with falling to exercise good faith in pre- senting his motion to reconsider which was, he said, shown by the motion of his colleague to withdraw.
 "The motion was lacking in that can dor which should characterize the pro ceedings of the Senate" he said.
 He declared that Congress and not the War Department was responsible for increases in the army and held MT. Hale. a Senator of high position. responsible in greater degree than the Secretary of the Navy for increases in the past.
 Tt comes with poor grace for the Senator to criticize the Secretary for something for which he was not re- sponsible," said the Nebraska Senator. And If he motion was made in good faith it should not be withdrawn. If the bill was wrong the Senator from Maine owes it to himself and to this body to persist in his motion to secure reconsideration and show it's defects. The withdra wal of the motion shows that he never intended to press 1t, but that he meant merely to make 1t an opportunity to get up here and lam bast the Secretary"
 Senator Frye defended his colleague against the charge of bad faith and refused to recede. His motion to lay on the table prevailed.
