Washington, Jan. S.-The BrOwnSon
affair was the chief topic OF discus
sion In the senate today. 1t was
brought up when Senator Hale ex-
planned the navy persOnel bill intro
duced by him. The presentation OF
the bill led Senator Tillman to ask
whether the members of the commit
tee would have an opportunity to get
the facts relating TO the controversy
over the Brownson affair. Tillman
intimated he wished to call before
the committee witnesses to testify
concerning this matter. Hale replied
he thought there would be no obsta-
Gle to allowing the senator to do that.
In discussing the provisions OF his
bill Senator Hale said he preferred
obtaining facts in connection with the
personnel of the navy during the con-
Sideration of the bill instead of hold
ing an investigation of the partieu-
lar incident which has been the sub
ject of so much public comment.
The senate passed a bill protecting
the harbor defenses and Notifications

Masahisa, minister of justice, will continue in the portfolio of finance, and Keihira. minister of the interior, will combine that of minister of communications.
 This leaves the cabinet without any of the new elements and relieves it of iisputants who were disturbing fac tors for some time.

THE TAFT MOVEMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger speaking of Secretary Taft's strength says: He is far ahead of other candidates now, in votes which may reasonably be reckon ed as sure" But it continues, he has not yet majority. and the opposition has not shown its hand" This latter fact is a remarkable feature of the canvass. The return of Secretary Taft to this country was followed. as had been expected, by a revival of the movement in his favor. Even his friends had admitted that it was languishing during his absence; but as soon as he had attended to certain routine duties at the war department, upon his arrival in Washington. he addressed himself to his political fences and to the breaches that had been made in them. The result is seen in a general renewal of interest in his candidacy while those who might naturally be expected to oppose him are doing little or nothing. at least openly, to embarrass him.
 The Philadelphia papers thinks it quite possible that the Taft force now amounts to more than four hun dred;" that is, that states having four hundred votes in the national con- vention are favorable to him. If this be so there remains only a tantalizing- ly small distance between the secre- tary and his desired goal, for four hundred and ninety-one will be a ma jority of the convention. The Ledger adds:
 "Of the other candidates none so far has any assured prospects outside of his own state. Combined. however. they have a formidable strength. It is not certain that Hughes will be supported by a New York delegation. If New York is to present him he will have 7S; Knox. 6S; Cannon, 54; Fair banks. 30; say. in all, 23O. If all but Pennsylvania are ready to throw their votes to Hughes. the New Yorker. with other votes from New England, the south and elsewhere. may have 800, possibly majority on the first ballot"
 The Providence Journal. commenting on the same subject says:
 The Taft movement has reached a critical moment in its progress, and he would be courageous prophet who should presume to sa- whether from this time on it is destined to forge ir- resistibly ahead or to decline. On the surface the odds are in its favor. Be- meath the surface it is probable that earnest efforts are being planned to discourage and discredit it. The very silence of the administration lead CTS is Ominous. Perhaps they think that with the convention five months away it is too early to disclose their scheme of campaign. But the next few weeks will do much to bring the forces for and against the secretary into sharp alignment Meanwhile there can be no question that it is a case of MT Taft against the field"
