Mr. Pettigrew was on guard in the Senate today for the opponents of the Army Reorganization bill, while Mr. Allen occupied the time with a long speech against .the meas- ure. x- ne latter reiusea vo lei u tow be taken tomorrow, and the outlook is that the bill cannot be disposed of be-j fore Mordnv fore - . . Mr. Hawley called up the bill at 1-30 and Mr. Alien was immediately recog- Mr. Teller was given the floor and moved that the following section be stricken from the bill: " "That when in the opinion of the l President the interests of the service will be benefitted thereby, he is empow ered to place ppon the retired list, by executive order, any officer who has : been suspended from duty, either by sen-; l nM V. w li4na r . 1 tence oi court mamm ui an executive order in mitigation of such sentence, for a period extending to or within one year of the time of his com- A xne motion ns ajim .

He sa.-that the bUl was wrong in everything and should never become a law. -A . 'T can see no necessity whatever for the passage of this bill," siad he. -.:Why.'ufore,-:.the ' Election - tmmmee wnen v , should the-war on the Filipinos be con - tineud" The Philippine Islands must be a.iaueh a part of the United States as not part of the Union, sphere can be noT i ratigerl it was promised that the Fili- midme grouna. nneu u a.-U - pinos' would be aided to set up a gov eminent of their own. as in Cuba toince then the whole policy of the administra tion has changed and we are trying to .keep them from enpoying the same gov ernment we have. "There is a mamby-pamby style on the Republican side of styling every Senator who says a word for the Filipi nos as a traitor.

This is the sole purpose of the bill. Let us give these Filipinos their freedom as was promised" by the President long ago. Let us establish a protectorate over the arch ipelago, but let the people go free. Wre have even denied their petition, and those who wished the petition received were denounced. If the Filipinos are cit izens of this country they have a right to petition if not, they need not peti tion. - . - - . -''Let us examine some of. the men, who are under this bill to provide the mate rial for the army of the future. Look at the West Point graduates, who ab sorb military education ; like a sponge and compare them wita the volunteer of ficers who have Worked into the regu lar army. Look at Miles and Corbin, and Funston and others : and . compare them with the results obtained from the aristocracy of West Point, The Ameri- can army snonia come irom me joints of tbe American laborer. : " "Look .at this investigation that is going on now of this thing called nazing. Why, the prize fighter is a gentleman, the bull-baiter is a gentlemen when compared-with the cadets at West Point. This hazing takes place within - the knowledge of the officers of that insti tution." '- . : .Mr. Allen went on to say that one of the old volunteer officers, placed at the head of the Military . Academy,' would put a stop to hazing in six weeks, or there would be some dead cadets there. For himself, he would either stop such brautality at West Point or be would dismantle the school and turn over to the various States the education of their young men for military purposes. ( He intimated that one of the purposes for which hazing was resorted to was to ex clude young men appointed from civil life, so as to make room for the sons of army officers. This last remark was countered by the suggestion, from Mr. Gallinger, that young Grant and Sheri dan had been hazed quite as badly, as any other cadets. ; ,v Mr. Money, replying to a question from Mr. Caff ery,' said that he" knew of cases of hazing at West Point that would have warranted the bazee in kill ing the hazers. . , ' . ; "They ought. to have been killed, Mr. Allen put in. "And I want to say, Mr. Money continued, "that if 1 were a cadst at West Point and Were Jiatsd -in ''so cruel and brutal, a mapner, .1 would-kill the hazers if - the opportunity did not come for a hundred years afterward! " Mr. McCumber of Norto Dakota, de- fended the bill and condemned the haz ing practice at West Point That prac-. tice, he said, created the worst charac ter of brutality and the worst character of cowardice. And bully who was guilty of attempting to punish one , who wa physically unable to meet him was suclj a coward -that, he should -bo discharge from the service. , Mr. Teller discussed "the bill on its relation to the Philippine Islands. Th situation there, he said, had not improv ed in the slightest degree since tha islands were held by Spain. The Span iards had an army of 15,000 men there, and now the United States" has an army of 70,000. Spain had held, only a ie.w . places, and the United States now helt some 400 places by force, not by the com sent of the people. ,In places not held by the United States there was peac and quiet, and the people, were, taking cars of themselves and showing them selves capable of self-government. "1 am not in favor of giving up th silands," said Mr. Teller. I want td t.u .1 l T lalSava th&t WOUld be better for the Filipinos and that th islands would be valuable to us, out u we can only hold them by force, there is no consideration, financial, commercial or other that would justify ns in hold ing them in that way." Mr. Butler of North Carolina, 'argued against the bill, first, because . Ivs did think it it well to have a regular instead of a volunteer army; secontiv because it was a radical departure from the policy, of the government, to clothe an exffCU i.: . .xr; lAmVlntira rrtwr ' At cloge of Mr Butler's remarks an agreement was made unanimous consent that on Friday at 4 o' dock; tho Senate shall without further debate pro- ceed to vote OQ th0 biU and : pending amendments 4r r, n m the Senate went into exec-t . ntive. session. - At 5:50 the Senate adjourned until to morrow.
