A few minutes after the Senate convened it went into executive session. At 2:15 o’clock business in open 8 ion was resumed, the death of Rep- resentatives Northway of Ohlo and Love of Mississippi was announced and the Senate adjourned as a mark of respect to their memories. At the opening of the Senate's session Hawley of Connecticut, chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, introduced a bill for the reorganization of the regular army, At 12:16 p. m., on motion of Lodge, the Senate went into executive session. A long debate was had in executive session upon the subject of the confirma- tion of the Hawailan Commissioners. The debate was started by Senator Hoar, who made a vigorous protest against the practice of appointing Sena- | t0rs upon such a_ commission. e said the Senators, when appointed, acted the direction and became the | duly authorized agents of the President | to carry out his ideas and wishes. What became of their functions as Senators, he asked, when the report they make, in the case of the Hawalian Com mission, came before the Senate, a co- ordinate branch of the Government? | In the case of the Joint High Commis- | sion, now negotiating a treaty with| Great Britain, and the Peace Com-| mission, now in Paris, there were the| same objections, but they applied with | greater force. Senators should hold | aloof from such positions because their acts as Commissioners were to be passed upon by themselves as Senators—a very reprehensible practice, in the opinion of | Hoar. He intimated that Senators act- ing for the President as a commission which, in dealing with a foreign country, had to act as a body, might be placed | in the position of supporting a cause which th(‘fi as Senators would reject. ! The method of appointing Senators on | commissions was defended by Senator Morgan and Senator Platt of Connecticut. Other speakers in the controversy were Senators Chandler and Bacon, cise by the President of the power to appoint Senators to other positions. { Senator Aldrich made the point that | the position of the commissioners in | such duties as those of the Hawalian Commission and the Paris Peace Com- | mission was not inconsistent with the | performance of Senatorial duties. These | positions were, he said, not offices in the usual interpretation of the word, and to prevent the President’s calling for their service for such work was often to de- rive him of the best assistance avall- ble in special cases like those in which Senators Morgan, Cullom, Davls, Frye and others were engaged. | After two and a half hours of discus- sion the question was referred to the| Judiciary Committee with instructions to Investigate and report upon the nomina- | tion of the commissioners. At 2:15 p. m. the Senate resumed busi- ness in open session. Communications were received. from the House of Repre- sentatives announcing the death during Northway of Ohio and Representative William F. Love of Mississippi. On mo- tion of Foraker of Ohio, as a mark of re- spect to the memory of the-deceased the Senate at 2:20 p. m. adjourned. HOUSE PASSES THE ANTI-SCALPING BILL WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The House to- day. passed the anti-ticket scalping bill | by a vote of 119 to 101. This action is the culmination of a ten-year struggle on the part of the railroads to put an end to the business of ticket scalping. The Inter- | state Commerce Commission first called attention to the subject in its report of 1888, and it has been before Congress ever since, in one form or another. During the last session extensive hearings were given both to the representatives of the rail- roads and the scalpers, and Sherman of New York secured 174 pledges for the measure. It was, however, deemed inad- visable to bring the matter forward until the present session. The debate to-day | lasted four hours, and was spirited upon | None of the amendments of- | fered were .adopted, and the bill was| passed as reported by the committee. . The bill requires the carriers subject to | the interstate commerce act to provide | each agent authorized to sell tickets with a certificate, and makes it unlawful for an officer of such carrier to supply tick- ets to any but authorized agents. It malkes violations of these provisions a misdemeanor, and provides for the re- demption of unused or partially used tickets and also provides penalties for orglng or altering tickets. r. Sherman id this legislation had been repeatedly recommended by the Interstate Commerce Commission, that it had the suj:port of ewspapers and commercial bodies and | that over 3000 petitions in its favor had been presented to the House during the present Congress. The business commu- nities had come to look upon ticket brok- erage business as illegal. The amount of fraud practiced, if known, would startle any one famillar with the facts. VICTORY CELEBRATED. First Annual Meeting of Santa ulara Good Government League. SAN JOSE, Dec. 7.—The first annual meeting of the Republican Good Govern- ment League was held at Rutherford Hall yesterday afternoon. It was a large and enthusiastic gathering and was in the nature of a jollification. President E. A. Hayes read his annual report. It showed the organization to be in a flourishing condition. The league was organized on January 22 last with a mem- bership of 39 and now has a _membership of over 1990. At the last election it devel- oped a voting strength of about 4008, keeping up the organization along its present lines, The campaign committee, under the eadership of Mitchell Phillips, was thanked for its effective work during the late campaign.

T0 INCREASE OUR SHIPPING TRADE Merchant Marine Needs Enlarging. SEVERAL PLANS SUGGESTED | [ COMMISSIONER CHAMBERLAIN’S | REPORT. Advocates Extending Direct Govern- ment Aid to Vessels Built in the United States. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The annual report of Navigation Commissioner Chamberlain is devoted mainly to sta- tistics and facts in support of the project for the creation of the American merchant marine, recommended by Secretary Gage. Following are ex- tracts: Excluding the great lakes, practically competition, the tonnage of vessels en- tered and cleared at seaports of the United States in foreign trade for 1867 comprised 7,248,625 tons American and 32,632,419 tons foreign shipping. In over- sea navigation to foreign ports more than 1500 miles distant, American shipping amounted to only 2,063,656 tons, compared ‘with 27,418,026 tons foreign. Only three practical courses, at the present time, are open to the United States: First—We may retain our laws un- changed, ignore national navigation and continue to rely on vessels under foreign flags for the transportation o. our ex- ports and imports. = Second—We may permit foreign-built vessels to register under the American flag, ship crews abroad and increase na- tional navigation. 3 Third—We may extend direct Gov- ernment aid to vessels built in the United States and thus increase both national navigation and national ship-building. The last named of these three courses # sugeested to a very great extent Dby our new relations to the rest of the world, which expects the United States to become a maritime power. For the first time we now hold and shall doubt- less permanently hold inhabited terri- tory beyond the limit of the North American continent. Largely through indifference: we have tion which was once ours. The grow- ing trade of the Pacific is ran~idly sl!f— ping away from us. Excluding Hawali, entries and clearances from Asia and Oceanica at ports of the United States during 1890 amounted to 238,960 tons Amer- ican shipping, and in 1IN to only 221438 tons, while foreign shipping increased from 431,242 tons to 924,720 tons. Forel%n nations are skillfully following the policy of government aid to develo their navigation in the Pacific. Towar steamship lines to the east coast of Asla | alone Great Britain last year contribu- ed $1.25 France, §1,217,000; Germa- ,000; Spain (1896), $416,000; Russia, | 000; Austria, ,000, and Italy T, 000. The United States paid only $40,000 to American lines to Asia at regular mail rates. We have deluded ourselves into the belief that the Pacific tr: 1 be- come ours without taking ordinary pre- cautions to meet competition. ‘We must take steps for the qualified ad- mission of foreign ships to American reg- ister in order to enter immediately into active competition for Asiatic trade. It will require at least eighteen months to build the vessels of over 5000 tons and sixteen knots, now needed to meet new conditions in the Pacific. A relaxation of the registry law was necessary to establish our trans-Atlantic line, and a similar relaxation is now nec- essary to meet conditions on the Pacific. The _restriction of trade between the United States and Hawali to American vessels is even mdre important. Of that trade 30 per cent is already carried on by American vessels and over 10 per cent of the remainder by Hawaiian vessels which will doubtless be admitted to American registry by Congress. American vessels the islands if foreign vessels are with- drawn. Almost the entire value of the annexation of Hawalil to the development of American navigation in the Pacific is involved in treating the islands as an ex- tension of our boundaries, bringing us from 1500 to 2000 miles nearer the markets of Asia and Australia. The opposition ot British and German interests to the prop- osition is anticipated in the line of their consistent policy of subsidies to develop Pacific. The re- roposed, however, are in strict accord with our national policy and with our treaties and do not Interfere with the existing trade relations. A revision of the tonnage tax laws is proposed and the report also considers legislation for the improvement of American seamen, pilotage charges, seaworthiness of vessels, allotment of wages and other matters. strictions New Orleans Races.

UNION OF HEBREW CONGREGATIONS Interesting Reportonthe Zionistic Movement. NOT POLITICAL ORGANIZATICN JEWS A RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY, NOT A NATION. “America Is Our Zion, and Washing- ton Our Jerusalem,” the Senti- ment Expressed at the Convention. Special Dispatch to The Call. RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 7.—The union of Hebrew congregations, in convention here, devoted the time of to-day’s ses- sion to consideration of reports of the committees on the Hebrew Union Col- lege and the Zionistic movement. The former committee, after recognizing the labors of the board of governors of the college and of Dr. Wise and his asso- ciates of the faculty, and making an appeal for more financial support for the institution, recommended that the age of admission to the college be raised to sixteen years and also announced that the college cannot undertake to pay for the secular instruction at the high school and university. The first recommendation was re- ferred to the board of governors. The second recommendation was amended so as to say simply ‘secular instruc- tion,” leaving out the names of the schools. The report, as a whole, was then adopted. The report on the Zionistic ment was submitted as follows: The union of American Hebrew Congre- gations in convention assembled, in view of the active propaganda being made at present_for the so-called Zlonistic move- ment, deems it proper and necessary to put itself on record as follows: We are unalterably opposed to political Zionism. The Jews are not a nation, but a religious community. Zion was a pre- cious possession of the past—the early home of our faith—where our prophets ut- tered their world-subduing thoughts and our psalmists sang their world-enchanting hymns. As such, it is a holy memory but it is not a hope of the future. America is our Zion, and Washington our Jerusalem. Here, in the home of re- ligious liberty, we have aided in founding this new Zion, the fruition of the begin- ning laid in the old. The mission of Juda- ism is spiritual, not political. Its aim is not to create a state, but to spread the truth of religion and humanity throughout the world. The report precipitated a heated dis- cussion, in which nearly all the dele- gates took part. ‘Finally Dr. David Philipson said that the report had aroused so much interest and so many requests had been made that the com- mittee had determined to make the fol- lowing addition and change: “While we are aware of and deplore the abject condition to which many of our brethren are subjected in foreign lands, and that have naturally but un- fortunately aroused in some of them a yearning for a re-establishment of Zion, yet we delegates of the Union,” etec. Then follows the original resolution with the words, “and Washington, our Jerusalem,” stricken out. The report was further discussed and then adopted. The report of the committee on ac- counts showed that at present ninety- one congregations constitute the Union. RETRENCHMENT POLICY WAS SHORT-LIVED San Jose’s Board of Education Get- ting Back Into the Same 0Old Rut. SAN JOSE, Dec. 7.—The streak of econ- omy which possessed the City Board of Education a week is proving a sham. Last night the board elected Misses Fan- nie Stockton and Kate Curley teachers for the grammar schools. Five teachers were re-employed a few days ago, making an addition of seven since the trustees mas- queraded as economists. It {s understood petitions asking that the kindergarten be orened and the teachers put back in their places are being circulated at the instance of the trustees. The re-election of Miss Fannie Stockton is due, it is reported, to an ante-election pledge. Last June the Classification Com- mittee, consisting of Trustees Gr and Kenyon, reported on her dismissal be- cause she refused to use her influence for “Boss” Rea's ticket. She threatened to bring suit to test the right of the Trustees to discharge her without cause, and these Trustees promised her that if she did not bring suit and kept quiet until after election “=he would be reinstated. She was also promised that her salary, amounting to $234 for the months she was out of school, would be given her. Last night Miss Stockton was re-elect- move- ed, but the bill for her sal: was laid on the table. In all ,pmbsb.imy she will bring suit for the money. —_— To Improve the Stream.

Ll INCREASES THE REGULAR ARMY The Bill Introduced by Mr. Hull., MILES’ PLANS ARE IGNORED ENLISTING TROOPS IN NEW POSSESSIONS. Miles Wanted a General and Two Lieutenant Generals, but the Measure Provides for Only One Lieutenant General. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Representa- tive Hull, chairman of the House Com- mittee on Military Affaifs, to-day in- troduced a bill increasing the regular army to approximately 100,000 men. The bill was framed at the War Depart- ment and has the approval of the Sec- retary of War. It is not the bill framed by General Miles, as this meas- ure has not the high rank proposed by the Miles bill, and some of the appoint- ments are open to officers of the volun- teers from civil life. ‘It provides for a lleutenant general, and what is con- sidered a sufficient increase of major generals and brigadier generals to com- mand an army of 100,000 men, scattered from Porto Rico to Manila. The artil- lery arm is reorganized, separating it into coast and field artillery, but pro- motion to be by seniority of the whole arm. A decrease of the enlisted men is made, so that the army can be increas- ed by recruits in case of war to full -strength. The cavalry is increased two regiments, the infantry five. The enlisted strength of an infantry com- pany is not to exceed 145, so that in case of war new regiments would have to be formed, probably all of which would be volunteer, but the regular army would make a substantial first line. The bill provides for the three battalion formation. The staff corps are increased about 40 per cent, and with the exception of the adjutant general, inspector general and ordnance, are open to appointments from the volunteers or civil life. The most noticeable change is in that of the medical department, in which provision is made for a hospital corps of 3000 pri- vates, with the necessary non-commis- sioned officers, with a largely increased number of surgeons and assistant sur- geons. All officers and men serving in the sub-tropical countries are to have an increase of 25 per cent in pay. Un- der the immediate control of the Presi- dent, inhabitants of the new countries may be enlisted in the organizations there serving. The bill gives a total of fourteen regi- ments of artillery, twelve of cavalry and thirty of infantry. Chairman Hull’s bill is cast on entire- ly different lines from General Miles’ bill, so that detailed comparison is dif- ficult. The Miles bill is based on the theory of one soldier for one thousand population, while the Hull bill is based on the idea of a total force of 100,000, the organization being constructed so as to reach that total. General Miles provides for a general and for two lieutenant generals, while the Hull bill makes no. provision for a general, and has but one lieutenant general. Other important differences are: Hull bill, thirty regiments of in- fantry; Miles bill, fifty regiments of in- fantry. ‘Hull bill, twelve regiments of cavalry; Miles bill, fifteeen regiments of cavalry, Hull bill, a corns of artillery; Miles bill, fourteen regiments of seacoast artillery and two regiments of field artillery. 5 The Hull bill in its first section sums up for the reorganized army as follows: One lieutenant general, six major generals, twelve -brigadier generals, twelve regiments of cavalry, a corps of artillery, thirty regiments of infantry, an adjutant general's departm’nt, an inspector general’'s department, a judge advocate general’s department, a quartermaster’'s d:partment, a sub- sistence department, a medical depart- ment, pay departmeat, a corps of en- gineers. an ordnance department, a signal corps, thirty post chaplains, the chief of the record and pension office, the officers of the army on the retired list, the professors, corps of cadets, an army service detachment and band at the United States Military Academy and such other officers and enlisted men as may hereinafter be provided for. The regimental organization of the artillery arm is discontinued and that member is designated as the corps of artillery. The distinction between coast and field artillery is similar to the Miles bill, biit more elaborate in detail. The Atlantic division of the coast is defined to include -the Atlantic and the Guif seaboards and the coast of the great lakes, “and shall ultimately include the ~oast line of the West Indlan possessions of the United States.” The Pacific division is defined to in- clude the Pacific seaboard “and shall ‘ultimately include the coast line of the{ 3 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * OLYMPIAN GAME DECIDE * % % dates for Justice of the Peace and this county.
