General Tracy's Views on the De- j
velopment of the Navy.
The Fight on the Ship Snbsidy Biil
The Army Reorganization ' Act
Passed, and its Provisions now Be
ing Carried out -Two Notable
Events.
Washington, Feb. 4, 1901. Probably
not within the present century will a
president of the United State3 and his
cabinet be called upon to take part in
two such notable events so close to
gether as the funeral of Queen Victo
ria, which President McKinley and his
cabinet attended Saturday, and the
joint congressional celebration of the
centennial anniversary of the appoint
ment of John Marshall, of Virginia, to
be chief justice of the supreme court
of the United State', which thoy atted
ed in the hall of the house today.
Time is precious just now, both with
the president aild with congress, but
.time can never fee so precious that
some of it cannot be spared to do hon
or to the memory of so distinguished
an American as John Marshall was.
The real fight in the senate over the
ship subsidy bill is now on in earnest.
The republican program, arranged by
the steering committee, is to keep the
subsidy bill before the senate until it
is voted upon, or it i demonstrated
that the opposition is determined
enough to prevent a vote. Already
the Senate is meeting an hour earlier
and this week night sessions are to be
forcedi The friends of the bill are con
fident that the result will be the pass
age of the bill. : I v
The lone-delayed army reorganiza
tion act became a' law on e Saturday
and the president and secretary of war
are now Engaged in carrying out its
provisions. It is expected that the
nominations of the high-grade officers
provided for will be sent to the senate
this week by the president. That Gen.
Miles will be made lieutenant general
is regarded as certain.
Senator Stewart, in a speech support
ing the ship subsidy bill, said he was
on principle opposed to any monopoly
of the sea, but if there must be a monp
oly of the sea he desired it to be Amer
ican. A TBIBUTE TO THE PRESIDENT.
Col. William Brown, of New York, a
life-long democrat, who is now visit iDg
Washington, paid this high tribute to
President McKinley : I became well
acquainted with McKinley in school,
and we have always been good friends.
Although we have differed in our polit
ical beliefs, I have always admired the
man. He is honest and straightfor
ward and from earliest youth has led
an exceptionally clean and upright
life. Whatever McKinley undertook,
he did well, and the, same trait has
characterized his work . through life.
When he started into champion a cause,
he did" it with his whole soul, and I
believe ho never does or says a thing
that is not prompted by the highest
motives of conscience."
EFFICIENCY OF THE NAVY.
Gen. B. F. Tracy, whose good work
as secretary 'of the navy, under the
Harrison administration, has no little
to do with the present efficiency of our
navy, is in Washington on legal bus
iness. He said: " We have the best
ships and the best guns and the best
fighting men of any navy in the worid,
and in the future development of our
navy should be centered the patriotic
pride of every American. I have noted
with pleasure the great progress that
has been made toward even a greater
navy, and I hope the government will
continue the good work? America
can afford to have nothing less than
theJbest.,Vj - V! v
Senator, Chandler raised a laugh by
saying, in reply to the claim of Sena
tor Jones that the opponents of the
ship subsidy bill wanted time enough
to expose its iniquity : ' The oppo
nents of the bill have been allowed to
expose the iniquity of the bill and their
own iniquity along with it." ; y
Senator ; Spooner, who will retire
March 4, makes a positive denial of the
story that he will succeed Attorney
General Griggs in Pressdent McKin
ley 'scabinent. He says he expects to
practice law. He ought to know. -:
Senator - Hanna is inclined to joke
about his rheumatism, which is again
giving him trouble. As Senator Mor
gan stepped aside to allow Mr. Hanna
to pass through a door, he said, nod
ding at the lame foot: "Same old
trouble. I suppose?" "Yes," replied j
t Senator Hanna: "Same o'd rheuma-
tism. It seems to be getting a little!
worse every day. I guess it is politics ;
struck in." -j
i
INCONSISTENT CRITICISMS i
j I
I The difficulty of pleasing those who !
; refuse to be pleased is once more ex-!
emplified by thf present attitude of j
those who have all along been criticiz- !
ing tne president for usurping the
power properly belonging to congress, j
in his insular policy, toward the presi
dent's desire that congress shall pass
..upon the satisfactoriness of the Cuban
government that will be provided for
by the constitution now being formu
lated by the convention sitting in Ha
vana. President McKinley holds, and
very properly, that congress should
pas upon this matter before our milita
ry authority is withdrawn from Cuba,
and his critics, seemingly just to be
contrary, are contending that he should
assume the responsibility of deciding
the matter ; but their contention will
make no difference in the determina
tion of President McKinley to submit
the matter to congress, and to ask con
gress to act upon it. It is not likely
that the Cuban constitution will be
ready in time to be submitted to the
present session of congress, and that is
one . of the reasons why the opinion
that an extra session of congress will
be absolutely necessary regardless of
what this session may do or leave un
done, is increasing every day in Wash
ington. BUSINESS BRIEFS.
i Application will be made next ses
sion at Ottowa, Ont., for a charter for
