ARMY BILL IN CONFERENCE.
Gardner Denounces 1t as
Inadequate.

Washington, July 3l.-When the army
bill was returned to the House from the
Senate Saturday, Representative Buchsn-
an opposed letting it go Immediately to
conference for adjustment of differences
and insisted upon delay by sending it
back to committee in the same way he
blocked immediate consideration of the
navy bill a few days ago. Other con-
gressmen, however, persuaded him to
withdraw his objections and the bill went
to conference.
Representative Gardner denounced the
bill as inadequate and charged the war
and the Hay reorganization
law with responsibility. At the rate the
bill appropriated for artillery and am
he said, it would take IL years
to prepare the country for few months
of war.

or elsewhere. Such safeguards the black
list brushes aside. 1t condemns without
hearing, without notice, and in advance.
Il is manifestly out of the question that
the government OF the United States
should acquiesce in such methods or ap-
plications of punishment to its citizens.
whatever may be said with regard to
the legality, in the view of international
obligation, of the act of Parliament upon
which the practice of the blacklist as now
employed by His Majesty's government
is understood TO be based, the govern
ment of the United States is constrained
to regard that practice as inconsistent
with that true justice. sincere amity, and
impartial fairness which should charac-
terize the dealings Of friendly govern
ments with one another. The spirit OF
reciprocal trade between the United
States and Great Britain, the privilege
long accorded to the nationals of each to
come and 90 with their ships and cargoes,
to use each the others shipping and be
served each by the others merchants is
very seriously impaired by arbitrary and
sweeping practices such as this. There
is no purpose or inclination on the part
Of the government of the United States
to shield American citizens or business
houses in any way from the legitimate
of unneutral acts or prac-
ices; it is quite willing that they should |
uifer the appropriate penalties which in |
ernationsl law and the usage OF nations |
nave sanctioned; but His Britannia Ma
esty's government cannot expect the gov
of the United States to consent
o see its citizens put upon an eS parte
blacklist without calling the attention OF
lis Majesty's government, in the gravest
erms, to the many serious consequences
o neutral right and neutral relations
which such an act must necessarily in
olive. 1t hopes and believes that His
Iaiesty's government, in its natural alb
orption in a single pressing object OF
olicv, has acted without a full realiza
ion OF the many undesired and undesir-
bic results that might ensue.'
