'ARMISTCE TERMS CALL FOR GENERALIZATION OF ALL OF
AUSTRIAN ARMY AND SURRENDER OF NAVAL. EQUIPmENT
Muster Forces for U. S. Senate
Investigation Into Disaster

AS the time for the Senate investi-
CATION into the construction and
operation of the T. A. Gillespie Load
ing Company's plant at Morgan
draws near, both sides are mastering
their forces for a big battle.
The Gillespie interests. II is under
stood, have marshaled together q
brilliant array of legal talent, and the
Perth Amboy Council of Defense,
which will lead the attack for this
city and section, has been reinforced
by reserves from various sections, and
prominent legal lights will be aligned
with them when the senate commit
tee, with Senator Myers as chairman,
and Senators Frelinghuysen and
Beckham as the other members,
starts to hear the evidenceN pro and
con on the construction, operation
and rebuilding of the huge shell load
ing plant at Morgan which was prac-
tically wiped out by the disaster of
October 4 and 8.
Having heard that criticism was
being aimed at him In that Senator
Frelinghuysen had brought about the
action in the national capital leading
to the investigation and that his claim
of having forced the investigation is
not true, Congressman Thomas j.
Scully announced the following to-
day:
AT the very first session Of con-
gress, held after the Morgan explo-
sion which occurred on October 4 and
o. I at once introduced a resolution
providing for the reimbursement to
the people of all property damages
suffered through the explosion within
tn whole area affected. This congress
sional action was followed up by not
only getting the approval Of the wal
department and the secretary of the
treasury, but also even the immediate
and direct approval Of the president
OF the United States himself was
given for the complete compensation
to the people for all physical damages
| suffered.
"The resolution provides that the
war department shall investigate and
report the extent of all damages with
In sixty days from the passage of the
resolution, but 1 effected the immedi-
ate selection by the war department
OF q corps of officers to make prompt
and complete investigation. They are
already at work and have guaranteed
me that as soon as such report Is pre-
sented to the house an appropriation
covering all the property damages will
be made without any question. Like
assurance has been made to me by the
leaders of the senate whom / person

ally interviewed within two or three
days after the disaster.
"As you know, all such appropria-
lions must be introduced in the
house in the first place.
II also demanded that there be an
investigation of the causes of the ex-
plosion made and introduced a ~resolu-
ton for such an Investigation in the
senate. The rules of the house and
senate are so different in effecting
prompt action In such cases that / saw
that quicker action to this end could
be effected through the senate. Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen introduced his res
olu-tion for the investigation on
Thursday. October IT, 1878. and 1t

taken up the following Monday or
