prepsrinu to Raid Treasury.

Evidence that the Democrats are pre-
pairing TO improve the opportunity for
which they have waited so long to raid
the United States Treasury is afforded by
the passage by the House to-day Of Dill
which paves the way for the fling Of
approximately $4,000 in hitherto de-
barred war claims growing out OF the
Civil War. The bill is designed 10 amend
existing law by waving proof of loyalty
TO the Union" i'm the case Of those who
have claims dated after June l. 1853. II
provides that claimants whose property
was confscated by Union troops after
that date. which closely followed the
close Of the war. need not prove their
loyalty to the Union-as is required In
certain other classes of var claims-and
the result will be the filing OF thousands
of applications with the Court Of Claims.
You are all loyal when IL comes to dig
gins into the Treasury" commented Rep
resentative Mann, the minority leader In
answer TO fowery speeches by Southern
orators. The bill was passed by vote
Of l66 to %. divided mainly along party
lines. and its easy progress through the
House furnishes some indication OF the
onslaughts which will be made on The
Treasury when the Southern Democracy
occupies the legislative saddle next
Spring. G.. q. IT,

Senators and Arbitration,

Nothing could be moro surprising thah
the attitude of many Senators toward ar
bitration in general and the question OF
arbitrating the canal differences with
Great Britain in particular. The merits
Of the controversy appear to have in the
eyes Of many Senators no bearing what
ever. and no more does the possibility
that the honor of the United States may
be involved DO you imagine for mo-
ment that Great Britain is going TO war
with the United States over this question
OF free tolls TO our coastwise ships?" bel
lgerently inquired Democratic Senator
OF another member OF the upper house
to-day. mo, dare say not" replied the
Republican. but, you know, there are
men who are somewhat punctilious about
their honor even when they have no fear
of physical violence. and in this instance
more sacred thing than the honor OF
any individual-namely, the honor Of the
nation-is at stake" This remark led to
flow of words expressive Of the utmost
contempt and Indignation that any Amer
lean could be 80 cowardly" as TO con-
slider the feelings OF Great Britain in a
matter which involved only the domestic

Wilson Puzzles His Supporters.

1t is more than a month since WOOD
row Wilson was in effect elected Presi-
dent OF the United States, and as yet not
one Of his friends and advisers has the
slightest idea what his specific policies
will be. or who he Is going 10 invite into
his official family. The coming OF Chair
man McCombs to Washington was looked
10 TO shed much light on these subjects
but Democratic members Of both houses
of Congress declare that Mr.. McComos
proved to be as much in the dark as
themselves SO far as they can find out
no one has the slightest idea what the
Democratic President purposes TO DO. Inc

receiving numerous letters urging that
William ]. Bryan be included In his CaDi-
net arc taken by Democrats here to nave

amusement. that DR.. Wilson has paved the
way for a perfect food Of correspondence
as his apparent disposition TO give heed 10
such communications is almost certain 10

which he will be swamped with letters

Service Board Engineer Says William
Street Soil Is Solid.

The commission appointed to consider

following the refusal of the majority oil
the owners along that street TO give their
assent 10 the construction of subway
through that street, continued yesterday

engineer OF the Public Service Commits

Mr.. Craven contended that the construc-
ton Of such subway presented no I'M

Carl A. Mead. representing the opposing
property owners. failed to shake him In
his testimony.
The engineer explained in detail the
methods row used In underpinning struct-
