THE CHESAPEAKE DEFENSES.

Senators Martin and Swanson took
up yesterday the question of the ade-
quate fertilization of the Chesapeake
Bay. They called upon the chief OF
artillery at the War Department and
also upon the chief army engineer and
went over the War Department plans
and estimates. Upon returning to the
Capitol they conferred with Senator
Smith, OF Maryland, about the project.
Senator Smith is cooperating with
the Virginia senators in this matter.
He regards the adequate fertilization
Of the Chesapeake Bay as more vital
matter for Baltimore even than it is for
Norfolk and Virginia.
Senator Martin has been at work on
the project for some time and now has
strong hopes that the efforts he has
made will bear fruit in sufficient ap-
preparation to afford the needed pro-
lection in the next army appropriation
bill. The tentative plans prepared by the
War Department have been gone over
by Senator Martin and are approved by
him. They include the acquiring Of
land at Cape Henry sufficient to estab-
lsh. a strong modern battery and tho
creation of an artificial island between
the two channels, upon which would
be established another battery or fort.
These two Notifications would be sufti-
cient to prevent the passage between
Cape Henry and Cape Charles OF any
hostile battleships and would mean
adequate protection for the whole bay.
The artificial island would be similar
to the one at Hampton Roa'ls and is
the suggestion OF the War Department
officials, who regard the scheme OF
ratification as outlined as a perfectly
practical and feasible one.
The original estimates for the plans
made by the War Department., at the
suggestion OF Senator Martin, are now
being revised and, as soon as possible,
will be sent to him. He will then.
with the aid OF Senators Swanson and
Smith, start the fight to get through
the necessary appropriation to carry
them out.

Earthnnake Shock.

Glasgow, Dec. l5.-The Glasgow
police force is being subjected to un-
precedented raillery today for its
failure to capture the bank burglars
who last night threw the city into q
scare. Experiencing a tremendous
shock and rumblng noise, the police
jumped to the conclusion that a bank
was being dynamiLed.
A general alarm was sounded and
the police searched the city for the sup
posed yeggs. The fact that everybody
else in town had heard the explosion"
and was out on the streets in state Of
semi-panic only served to convince the
police that they had desperate case on
hand.
Not until the search had progressed
several hours was it learned that the
noise and rumbling were from an
earthquake that shook not only
Glasgow but much OF western Scotland.
No serious damage resulted.

Much space Of most newspapers to-
day is occupied in telling the world OF

millions of dollars to be used in dreams
of abolishing international war, men

Serious Clash Expected.

Hendaye, France, Dec 15.-Mail
advices sent from Madrid yesterday to
avoid the censorship we're received here
today to the effect that 4 serious clash
between the clericals and government
party is expected in the Cortes before
the end of the week in the debate on
the paddock" bill to resist the religious
orders OF Spain. !.
Owing to the unexpectedly earl pas
sage of the budget, the debate will prob
ably be launched not later than tomor-
row and both sides have already mar.
shalled their full forces for 4 titanic
struggle. If defeated in the parliament
tary struggle, as seems inevitable, the
clericals, allied with the Carlists, are
reported as ready to resort to physical
force.
The air is filled with rumors OF 2
clerical Carlist plot against King Al
fonso. Already there have been dis
orders in many localities, precipitated
by the clericals in anticipation of their
defeat in the Cortes.
Premier Canaejas still insists that the
government will be able to put through
its programme Of church restriction
without difficulty, but he IS showing
increasing anxiety as the time for the
debate arrives.
The Carlists and clericals will engage
in filibustering tactics in the hope of
forcinga compromise. Already seventy
amendments have been prepared to one
section Of the bill.

increase pension appropriations $780,
900, 900 year, according to Sulloway,
was agreed upon by tho House COM
mittee on invalid pensions today. The

person who served 90 days in the civil
war or 60 days in the Mexican war and
is 90 or more years OF age shall receive
pension. Veterans SO years old are to
be paid SIS a month; those Of 65 years
500; 20 years s25 and rs years or over

that the passage of the bill would cost
the government much more than $780,
600, 900. II the bill should become a
law it would be too late in the present
session to mako appropriation and the
first provision of money would go to
swell the appropriations OF the demo
cratic House in the bext Congress.

Rebcllious isedouIns,

Constantinople, Dec. ia punitive
expedition will be sent against the re-
bellious Bedouins in. several Of the Sy-
Ran viIayets, as a result OF the alarm
ing reports received today OF the extent
OF the uprising OF the tribesmen.
United press cables last Friday told
OF the Bcdouin attack on Kerak, and
the defeat of the Turkish garrison
there. Details Of the affair, however,
have only just been received. They
show that the Bedouin victory there
was practically complete and that the
remaining soldiers are now blockaded
in one of the buildings of the town,
awaiting reinforcementfro Damascus.
It is feared that there are not enough
troops throughout Syria to suppress a
rebellion should it become general and
arrangements are being pushed to dis
patch heavy reinforcements.
The robbing OF the eight American
tourists, conducted by agent Miller, OF
Chicago, complicates the situation. Ii
is assumed that the Americans will de-
mand redress Of the Turkish govern
n.ent and such demand would proba-
bly, have to be met to avoid interna-
tional complications. -
The trouble started in the execution
Of one of the Bedouin chieftains and
the order for tho disarming OF the Be-
douins. Led by Chief Mejilla, the Be.
douins attacked slle troops at nearly al
the stations north OF Maon and were
uniformly successful. The first reports
said that many Christians were killed,
but it is now stated that the casualties
among the Christians were accidental,
the Bedouins attacking only the Turks.
Jerusalem, Dec. 15.-Twenty thou;
sand Turkish troops are being rushed
today from Adana, to the Syrian VI
layets where Bedouins arc in revolt.

AS A result OF the rebuke OF the re-

spurred to sudden activity, and both ap-
peared on Monday in the role OF ener-
getic competitors for the honor OF be-

dav, in favor Of revision by topics,
Chairman Payne, of the House com
mittee OF ways and means, co-hcad
devil with Aldrich, was occupying

world that for long time he bad
favored piecemeal revision. Mean
while, Mr.. Champ Clark, not to allow

Gratis; this caucus possibly to be held
tomorrow, TO call caucus OF the 22S
