HE WANTS NO DICTATOR Opposes Giving McKinley Power to Expand Army at Will. BILL TO REDUCE WAR TAXES INTRODUCED It Calls For a Cut of a Little Over Forty Mil lions. Senator Frye Concludes His Speech For the Ship Sub sidy Bill. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Dee. 5. —The House de voted the day to the Army Reorgani zation Bill which was brought up un der a special order, adopted at the opening of the session, which limited general debate to two hours on a side. Lieutenant General Miles and a num ber of army officers were interested spectators throughout the day. Only two Republicans participated in the. general debate, Chairman Hull of the Military Committee, who was in charge of the bill and Mr. Parker, of New Jersey, who is a member of the military committee. Messrs, Cochran, of Missouri, Kleberg, of Texas, McClel lan, of New York, Shafroth, of Col orado, Cummings, of New York, and Cox of Tennessee, Democrats, spoke briefly against the bill and a large standing army. Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, Re publican) then aroused the only en thusiasm of the day against the meas ure. Several time during the last ses sion, notably* on the Porto Rican Tariff Bill, he refused to follow his party. Today he attacked the whole Philippine policy of the Administra tion. He also criticised, technically, several features of the. bill, especially that lodging in the President the dis cretion to expand or reduce the size of the army at will. He declared that the United States should immediately give the Filipino people honorable as surance that, they should have a government, of their own. Mr. Hull declared that until Con gress acted to the contrary we must assert and enforce our sovereignty over the Philippines or disgrace our selves before the world. Eleven of the 26 pages of the bill were disposed of before adjournment. Tomorrow the Grout Oleomargarine Bill, under a special order, made at the last, session will displace the army bill, which will go over until Friday. When the House met, the Speaker announced that he had a communica tion from the family of Mr. Bou telle, of Maine, resigning his position as chairman of the Committee on aval Affairs. He also announced the. ap pointment of Mr. Shaw, of New York, at. member of the Committee on Inva lid Pensions. Mr. Dalzell (Pa.), from the Committee on Rules, then present ed the special order for the considera tion of the Army Bill. RICHARDSON ATTACKS THE BILL. Mr. Richardson (Tenn.), on behalf of the minority said those on his side of the House recognized the necessity for some legislation, but they did not agree that this bijl, establishing a per manent standing army should become a law. If an emergency exists an emergency should be provided for, a large standing army should not be established. It -was proposed to provide an army which could be ex panded at the will of one man from .‘>B,ooo to 100,000. No matter how good or able that man might, be he was not willing to see one man given such power. It. was in his opinion abdica ting the functions of Congress. Mr. Underwood (Ala.), also inveigh ed against clothing the President with discretionary power to expand or con tract. the army at will. GROSYENOR DEFENDS IT. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio), in support of the resolution said that personally he was in favor of a standing army of 100,000 men. The people, he said, were not alarmed by the cries that their liberty was to be subverted. It was a glorious tribute to our sys tem that never nud the President of the United States attempted to abuse his power over the army. One of the magnificent acts of Grover Cleveland had been his assumption of his duty to keep peace in a great Common wealth by means of the United States army when the Governor of that State did not want him to interfere. Mr. Grosvenor said that ii there had been a standing army of 50,000 loyal men at. the battle of Bull Run the rebellion would have ended in thirty days. Mr. Grosvenor and Mr. Underwood indulged in some sharp cross fire, af ter which the resolution was adopted without division. Mr. Hull suggested that, the Oleomargarine Bill, which was a special order for tomorrow be postponed until the Army Bill was disposed of. Mr. Underwood (Ala.), objected. The House then went into Committee of the Whole and took up the consideration of the Army Bill. Mr. Hull explained the details of the hill, which he said followed practical ly the scheme already twice endorsed by the House. The main objection he bad heard to the organization proposed was to the alleged preponderating influence of the. cavalry. This, he said, was nec essary because of the. effectiveness of cavalry in oj>erati<>ns in the Philip pines. Mr. Hull ridiculed the charges made during the recent, campaign by the opposition to the effect that, the Republican party desired to foist upon the country a great standing army. Replying to Mr. Hepburn (Iowa), Mr. Hull said that to appoint volunteer officers to the grade of major would do a great, injustice to regular army officers who had served 20 or 25 years in the army. ESSENCE OF IMPERIALISM. Mr. Cochran (Mo.), who followed Mr. Hull introduced the political phase of the question. He charged that the avowed purpose of the Administration to use an army of 60,000 to enforce its mandates in the Philippines, was the very essence of imperialism. No army that marched on the face of the earth could accomplish the subjection of the Philippines. Their geographical posi tion made them practically independ ent of outside control. Mr. Kleberg (Texas), announced his unalterable opposition to an increase of the standing army. Its only use could be the establishment of a mili tary government, in the Philippines, and he appealed to his colleagues to stand unflinchingly against the sub version of the Constitution. Mr. Shafroth (Colo.), offered some figures to show that the retention of the Philippines, for which this pro posed large increase in the standing army was to be made, must prove a disastrous investment. He stated that, it, would cost the people of the United States $60,000,000 a year to earn $135,- 000 for American manufacturers and exporters. The sensation of the day occurred when Mr. Shafroth took his seat. Mr. Hull in charge of the time on the. Re publican side, stated that no one on his side desired to speak further. Thereupon Mr. Sulzer who had charge of the time on the Democratic side yielded an hour to Mr. McCall (Rep., Mass.) *This was the first intimation the House had that the Massachusetts member was to oppose the bill. MR. MTALL’S ARUMENT. Mr. McCall declared that he did not believe in the principle of giving the Executive discretion to multiply al most, by two the regular army, al though President McKinley would doubtless exercise that discretion pa triotically and wisely. The objection was one of principle. Such a grant, of power could not be paralleled in the constitutional monarchies. It was not, conferred with any limitation as to time. The Government should have declared, at, the outset a policy iu the Philippines similar to that, declared in Cuba. Our system of government was manifestly unfit for a colonial pol icy, and that proposition had been so frequently discussed that he would consider the practical question wheth er it was for our interest, to remain in the Philippines. There was no com munity of interest between the jteople of those islands and the United States and they were almost as far as the poles asunder. Xo advocate of re taining the Philippines had lteen dar ing enough to maintain that they should be a part, of our poiltical sys tem. In fact the great argument in fa vor of the principle of the Porto Rico tariff was that if we could not. apply that, principle to Porto Rico we could not retain the Philippines. Up°n what theory, lie asked, are we to remain in that country? The French army costs $125,000,000 a year; the German $130,000,000, the British $100,000,000 and the Russian $153,000,000. These figures include pensions and fortifications. If this bill passes the War Department will need $113,000,000. There is another cost not included in these figures, which is a, necessary incident to an army and as much a part of its cost as the pay of the soldiers. That is the pension system. We are appropria ting for that, purpose $145,000,000 a year. Our total charges therefore, for military purposes are $260,000,000 per year, an amount greater than the joint military expenses of those two armed rieals, France and Germany. In conclusion Mr. McCall pleaded that in dealing with the Philippines we pursue the American precedents and said: . , “The time has eotne when we frank ly declare our purposes. Let, us give these ]>eople those assurances which our history inspires. Let us tell them that we will aid them for one year or for five if need be in setting up a gov ernment of their own, symbolized by their own flag, and we will leave them all that is most glorious in the mean ing of another flag, liberty, independ ence and self-government.” When Mr. McCall finished the Dem ocrats applauded him vigorously. Mr. Cox (Tenn.), a member of the Military Committee, spoke against the general principle of increasing the size of the permanent army. IX THE PHILIPPINES TO STAY. Mr. Hull declared that. Mr. McCall had misapprehended the purpose of the bill. The President under the treaty of Paris must assert the sover eignty of the United Stnf - over the Philippine Islands. The people of the United States must deckle how long our authority there shall exist. Per sonally, he believed that our sover eignty over the Philippines would con tinue as long as the Republic endured. “Honestly, now,” asked Mi*. Wil liams. “independently of the Philip pine question, do you not want a i>er manenfc army of 96.000 men for other purposes?” i i “No. most emphatically no,” an swered Mr. Hull. * General debate was then closed, and the bill was read for amendment un der the five minute rule.

New Orleans, Dec. 5. —The second day's session of the Southern Industrial con vention opened today with a very large attendance. The hall was scarcely large enough to admit the delegates and the general public was turned away. Shortly after 10 o’clock Cardinal Gib bons, dressed in the robes of his high office, opened the convention with prayer. President Hargrove turned the gavel over to Vice President Sydney Storey and the latter introduced Dr. Lyman Hall, President of the Georgia Tchool of Tech nology who spoke on technical education. Other papers on the same subject were read. A paper on the railroads of the South and Southern Industrial development was read by Hon. Safford Berney, of Mobile, Ala., and a paper on foreign and coastwise trade a necessary factor in Southern industrial development, by N. I). Kelly, Secretary of the Trades League of Philadelphia. Resolutions were offered by V. W. Grubbs, of Greenville, Texas, and adopt ed expressing the sense that trade schools and schools of technology are imperative essentials in the future development of the Southern States. Jackson, Miss., Waco, Texas, and Mem phis, Tenn., are working to capture the next convention. A telegram was read from Senator Morgan thanking the con vention for the honor paid him. The Senator says, referring to the Nicaragua Canal: “The prospects of success grow brighter every day. Costa Rica and Nicaragua are in happy accord with our Govern ment in making preliminary agreements of vital importance." Hon. F. B. Thurber, President of the United States Export Association of New York, who read a paper, was given a cor diel reception. The last paper read at the afternoon session was by D. A. Tompkins, of Char lotte, N. C., who discussed "Cotton Oil and Cotton Oil Products.” The night session was begun by the delivery of an address by Major J. W. Riggans, of Waco, Texas, on “Industrial Commissioners for the South.” N. F. Thompson, of Huntsville, Ala., and Dr. W. E. Cole, of Waco, Texas, read papers on “Compulsory Education.” Leonard Keiffer, of New Orleans, read a paper on “Shoe Manufacture in the South.” Marcellus E. Foster, managing editor of the Houston Post; Erw*in Craighead, of the Mobile Register, and Louis J. Brooks, of Jackson, Tenn., read papers on “The Dntv of the Press."

The report of the Organization Com mittee will be taken up the first thing tomorrow morning. TO DISFRANBHISE THE NEGRO. Senator [Daniel Drafting a law For Virginia. (By the Associated Press.) Richmond, Va.. Dec. s.—Much interest is shown in the negro disfranchisement question in this State, which is to come before the Constitutional convention. United States Senator Daniel is drafting a provision, which, it is believed, will stand the test in the court of last resort better than the “grandfather” clause of Louisiana and North Carolina. Senator Daniel's proposition is to exempt from the illiteracy clause all persons from Vir ginia who served in any war. The Races at BezmiDg (By the Associated Press.)

SWEPT TO DOOM BT FIERCE GALES Over a Score of Vessels Lost on Northern Coast. SERIOUS LOSS OF LIKE The Crew of Seven on ihe Mary Brown Perish. THE STORVI MOVING TO THE NORTH WARD From New England it Sweeps Over Nova Scotia and New Foundland. Damage in New England Confined For Most Part to Shipping. (By the Associated Press.) Boston, Dec. 5. —Another southern storm has swept over New England and passed on to the northwest and like hundreds of its energetic predecessors, left death and destruction in its wake. Yesterday’s gale is tonight threshing the waters of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, prepar atory to making a descent upon the European steamer track, so that its destructive history is not yet fully com plete. Just what it accomplished in this line in New England and particularly along the coast north of Boston can be summed up as follows: Five Gloucester fishermen drowned; six coasting schooners complete wrecks; nine vessels sunk; eight schooners ashore and eleven others more or less injured through collision and loss of gear. The usual amount of damage was done on land, buildings blown down, telegraph wires prostrated and some delays on rail roads in the northern portion through heavy snows. Salem harbor proved a bad trap for seven or eight sailing craft, while on the rugged Maine shore were dashed half a dozen other coasters. The fatality of the Mary A. Brown oc ► erred on Hampton Beach, not far from the place where the wreck of the St. John schooner Advance came ashore without her erew; and not a man reached shore to tell of the vain battle against the ruthless elements. It is generally believed that incoming vessels will add something more to the storm. WRECK OF THE MARY A. BROWN. All of Her Crew Periih in the Raging Gale. (By the Associated Press.) Boston, Dec. 5. —The heavy gale which swept the New England coast last night and today created havoc among the large number of schooners caught off the north shore of this State, and the beaches of New Hampshire and Southwestern Maine. More than a dozen schooners were wrecked, a large number of others were damaged and several narrowly escaped being dashed to pieces. Serious loss of life was reported early this afternoon in the wreck of the Glou cester fishing schooner Mary A. Brown, which was wrecked off Hampton Beach, N. H. Its crew of seven men perished. At 2 a. m. life savers discovered parts of a vessel coming ashore. A patrol of the shore was then begun. Shortly after ward the body of a sailor was picked up and much wreckage washed in. The Brown was a two masted vessel of fifteen tons gross. She was built at Bath, Maine, in 1870. A schooner was reported on Scarboro beach at noon. The storm moved north westerly. Severe gales swept over Nova Scotia this afternoon and over Newfound land tonight. The wind last night along the New England coast attained a velocity as high as 75 miles an hour. Thick weather ac companied the blow, making last night one of the most trying for seamen that has been experienced in two years. Most of the damage in New England was that experienced by shipping. Land damage was confined to small buildings, trees, etc., and to telegraph lines. Con nection with Vermont by wire was practi cally impossible today owing to damage to several points in that State and New Hampshire. THE POTOMAC GOES DOWN. Lewes, Del., Dec. 5. —The severe gale which has been prevailing along the New Jersey coast continued today. The dredge Potomac, value at $40,000, bound from Alexandria. Va., in tow for Atlantic City, and which put back to the Delaware breakwater from Atlantic City because of the gale, sunk last night in seventeen feet of water. Her crew was taken aboard the tug which had been towing her. The schooner Oliver Schofield, lumber laden, bound from Norfolk to New York, which went ashore yesterday near Toms River Life Saving Station began going to pieces today. Portions of the vessel are being washed ashore. STEAMER BOSSGULL FOUNDERS. Nine of the Forty Aboard the Vesiel Re ported Lost, (By the Associated Press.) London, Dec. s.—Storms have been sweeping over the British coasts and the ships in the channel have had rough ex periences. Several minor wrecks have been reported. The steamer Rossgull of Plymouth, foundered off the Island of Jersey. Her passengers were saved, but a~~boat con taining nine of her crew is missing. REV. JOHN WOHL SHOT DEAD. Quarreled With Stokes About a Woman. The Preacher Fired First (By the Associated Press.) Williamson, W. Va., Dec. s.—This after noon Hon. S. David Stokes shot and killed Rev. John W. Wohl, in a street duel here, Mr. Stokes being also danger ously wounded. Tonight the whole town and even in the country districts the ex citement is intense. Mr. Stokes, one of the most prominent young lawyers in Mingo county, left his office this after noon immediately after dinner and pleas antly greeting friends on the way, walk ed with quick and firm step in the direc tion of the house occupied by Rev. Mr. Wohl, and his housekeeper, Mrs. Levine, Mr. Wobl’s family being in Kentucky. Mr. Stokes stopped at the gate to talk with Mrs. Levine, who stood in her door way. Within a few minutes the minis ter came out of the house. He seemed to be excited about something and said to Mrs. Levine as he passed her at the door: “You would be much better at present in the house.” She laughingly replied that the day was far too pretty to be spent entirely within doors, and Mr. Stokes interrupted her by remarking: "Yes, don’t think of leaving us for the house.” Quick as a flash Mr. Wohl turned and addressing stokes said: “Leave the premises.” An altercation followed. Both men ran to the sidewalk directly in the front of the house. Something was said almost indistinguishable, that drew from Rev. Wohl the sharp retort: "You are e liar.” In an instant the report of a revolver was heard. Stokes stumbled, tried to re gain his footing but fell in the street. Wounded, rs he was. he drew his re volver and covered the minister, now within ten feet of his fallen foe. Again Wohl fired and simultaneously with that shot, the gun in the sinking hand of Stokes spoke. When the smoke cleared away two men lay in their own blood upon the sidewalk. A crowd ran to the scene. Rev. Wohl was dead. Chance had carried the bullet from Stokes’ pistol through the head of the minister, killing him as be fell. The bullet had entered Stokes’ side below the heart and passed entirely through hia body. In the hall of the minister’s home, facing the fearful duel to the death, fal len across the doorway, was found Mrs. Levine. It was at first thought she was dead, and had probably been shot, but an investigation showed that she had only fainted from fright. Up to a late hour this evening Mr. Stokes has refused to say anything con cerning the terrible tragedy, and Mrs. Levine is in too much of a state of ex citement to talk. Rev. Wohl was recognized as one of the most forceful and eloquent of Presbyter ian Ministers of this State. Mr. Stokes is an cx-Virginia University President and comes from one of the best families of the Old Dominion. TO REDUCE THE WAR TAXES. Bill Introduced by Chairman Payne Chief Items Reduced Stamp Taxes. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Dec. 5. —Chairman Payne, of the Ways and Means Committee, to day introduced the bill reducing the taxa tion under the War Revenue Act, after the Republican members of the commit tee had agreed on the form of the mea sure and the articles to receive the re duction of tax. The bill provides an ag gregate reduction estimated at $40,000,- 348. The chief items of this reduction are the stamp taxes, amounting to $22,000,000; beer, $9,832,712; cigars, $3,189,864; proprie tary articles, omitting wines, $3,948,283. The bill provides for redeeming reve nue stamps heretofore issued and not used. The concluding section provides that the act shall take effect thirty days af ter its passage. Chairman Payne has called a meeting of the Ways and Means Committee for tomorrow, when he expects, to have the bill reported to the House. He will then seek to have the bill considered after the army olemargarine and leg islative bills are disposed of, with a view to securing action before the holidays. The decision concerning beer was ar rived at after some discussion and by a divided vote. It was first attempted to make the reduction on tea, but this was not concurred in and the question recur ring to beer the reduction was decided upon. Jernigan's Bloodless Victory.

Manila, Dec. 5. —A dispatch has been received from General Funston giving an account of a two hours’ fight in the w'oods of Santo Domingo between an American force and three hundred rebels commanded by Sandico. The American force consisting of thirty native scouts, commanded by Lieutenant Jernigan, at tacked the rebels, who retiring left six teen men killed on the field, including the rebel leader Aguilar and an American a negro.

RESOLUTION BY KITCHTN. To Repeal the Fifteenth Amendment of the Conatitntion. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Dec. s.—Representative Kitchin, of North Carolina, has introduced in the House a resolution for a Constitu tional amendment to repeal the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution. I PRICE 7 CENTS. SIGN, CABLES HAY TO MINISTER CONGER The Ministers at Pekin Reach an Agreement. THE UNITED STATES WINS Our Views on Indemnifies and Punish ments Prevail. CHINA MUST ADMIT HER LIABILITY The Matter of Indemnity Will Then be Left For Future Negotiations. As to Punishments, They Will be the Severest China Can Inflich (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Dec. 5. —The State Depart ment has been informed that the Foreign Ministers at Pekin yesterday reached an agreement which was submitted to the Home Office. Secretary Hay today cabled Mr. Conger authorization to sign the agreement on behalf of the United States Government. It is difficult to gather details of the understanding at this time. However, it is known that in two important issues that were still open, namely, those relat ing to punishments and indemnity, the views of the United States Government, have prevailed. As to punishments, they are to be the severest that can be in flicted by the Chinese Government. As to indemnity, the Chinese Government, is to formally admit its liability, and then the matter is to be left for future negotiations. It was understood that on the other points the French proposition has formed the basis of the agreement. EIGHT LEADERS EXECUTED. The New Governor of Shan 8i Energetically Suppressing Boxers.

Colonel Pitcher assisted by a turning movement on Knox’s left.” Lord Kitchener reports also several minor affairs. LOSS OF LEO NO BAB. Naval Lientenant Mallison is Entitled to Pro motion Washington, Dec. s.—Because an officer of the navy has suffered the loss of a leg through accident while in the line of duty it is held he is not debarred from promo tion, although it is acknowledged that he is not competent for active service at sea. Lieut. George Mallison, of the navy, who was appointed to the Naval Academy from North Carolina, while on a battle ship three years ago had his leg taken off by the breaking of an anchor chain, and since then has been on shore duty. He is now in charge of the naval hydro graphic office at Puget Sound. Recently he came up for promotion, and the Nav igation Bureau made the point that as he was not capable of performing service at sea he could not be promoted and should be retired. The Attorney General in an opinion holds that Mallison is entitled to promo tion, and he will receive it. There is nothing under this opinion to prevent Mallison from passing through all the grades to that of admiral without per forming a day’s duty at sea so long as he can carry out duties that may be as signed him on shore. Sunday Night Concerts Barred. (By the Associated Press.) Atlanta, Dec. 5. —Chief of Police Manly tonight notified Henry DeGive, manager of the Grand Opera House, that the Ed ward Strauss concert, scheduled for Sun day night would not be permitted.
