COST OF ONE YEAR’S WAR
Mr. Butler of North Carolina Addresses
the Senate and Makes an Attack on
the -Republicans— Chairman Cannon
Reports an Urgent Deficiency Bill to
tho House—A Bill Extending Franking
Privileges to Officers and Soldiers.
Washington, June 2.——In the Senate
this morning the House bill to organize
its duties and regulate its pay, was re-
ported with amendments from the
committee on naval affairs, and was
placed, on the calendar.
A bill authorizing the appointment of
two matrons to serve with each regi-
ment of volunteers during the war was
introduced by Mr. Faulkner (Dem., W.
Va.) and referred to the committee on
military affairs. I
A bill extending the {ranking privi-
lege to officers and soldiers of the army
was introduced by Mr. Harris (Dem.,
Kan.) and was referred to the post-
office committee.
and Mr. Butler (Pop., N. C.) addressed
the Senate. He expressed .his regret
.that‘ such a. bill as could have had
unanimous support in [the Senate had
not been brought forward. The respon-
sibility for the delay in passing this
bill rested on the shoulders of those
who had seen fit to insert in it provis-
and who thus forced discussion and
protest on the part of those who op-
' posed the financial views sought to be
carried out in this bill.
Arraigno Republicans.
A remark by Mr. Butler to the effect
thatRepublican senators were unduly
influenced in their support of the
bond propositions provoked Mr. Gai-
linger to demand more specific alle—
gations‘.’ The denunciation, he de-
c'lared, was very interesting, if true.
If the senator had any specific char-
des to make against a. senator it would
be interesting to the senate and the
country to have it made.
Mr. Butler's reply was that in the
last presidential campazgn immense
sum-s were contributed to the Republi-
can party by “the trusts, the monopo-
1ists;- the-bondholders and money len-
ders;".-‘"that ,now these interests de-
and that a. refusal of such legislation
would be a. breach of contract on the
part of Republican senators and rep-
resentatives.
lThe pending bill
of the country. He calculated that,
fail upon this" '69, 000, 000 people who
owned half 01 the property of this
country, not more than $1 would fall
Span the 40 ,000 who owned the other
alf
Mr. Butler what foundation he had
for the charge of undue influénce
made by him against Republicans.
Mr. Butler made a. derisive comment
upon Mr. Kyle's appearance as a de-
fender of the Republican party.
‘After further colloquy Mr. Butler
continued his argument that the bond
section of the bill was inserted at the
demand of the moneved classes who
had contributed to the Republican
campaign fund, and that it was not
in the public interest.
“The chief purpose of this bill," he
said, “is not to raise revenue to carry
on the war. That is an easy matter.
its chief purpose is to use this oc-
casion to commit the Country to a. pol-
icy of bond issues and bank paper,
and I submit'that those who strive
to put through such offensive legisla-
tion under the whip and spur of a war
measure ought to be the last people
in the world to challenge the patriot-
ism of others. It is an attack upon
the masses of the people."
“’ork in the House.
Chairman Cannon of the committee
.on appropriations reported an urgent
deficiency bill for the maintenance of
the naval and military establishments,
carrying the following amounts: Con-
tingencies, Philippine expedition, $100,-
000; Cuban expedition, construction of
ment of railroads, $225,000; intrench-
'lng tools, etc., $50,000; contingencies,
$50,000; signal service, $195,000; sub-
sistence department, $5,000,000; medi-
cal department, $50,000; torpedo de-
fence, Manila harbor, $150,000; .navy
department emergency fund, $10,000,-
000; bureau of supplies and accounts,
$1,000,000; clothing and small stores
fund,‘ $1,000,000; total, $17,845,000.
Mr. Cannon made a statement to in-
form the House of the probabilities as
togexpen-ditures on account of the
war. The committee on appropria-
tions expected to report a general de-
ficiency bill near the close of the ses-
sion that would, carry about $220,000,-
000. Owingto the urgent necessity for
action on the items carried in the pen-
the committee had determ-
ined to report it now. It covered ex-
penditures contemplated to be made
within the next thirty or sixty days.
It was the opinion of the committee
that, including the amounts already
appropriated, it would require at least
$350,000,000 to carry on the war until
December 31 next.
Mr. Dingley—Then if the war should
last a year the cost would be in ex-
cess of $600,000,000?
Mr. Cannon—Yes,.if it should con-
'tinue that long. .
The bill was passed andvthe House
adjourned.
Thirty Transport Ships Secured.
Washington, June 3.——The war de-
partment has secured three additional
transports.
This swells the,total number of
available vessels to over thirty, with
carrying capacity of nearly 30, 000 men.
The ships secured yesterday are: The

Reception Last Sunday by Roar-Admiral
Sampson’s Squadron.
Key West, Fla... June 3.—The Uni—
ted States battleship Oregon joined the
fleet, Sunday morning, finishing the
most remarkable long distance cruise
in the history of modern ironclads.
Her reception by the fleet was wor-
thy of her achievement. Coming along
at a. fifteen-knot speed, she swept in
a.‘ majestic semi-circle through the
fleet to a. point opposite the flagship,
cheering sailors manning the sides of
each vessel as she passed.
The fleet was on the lookout for her,
and when, almost at noon, there loom-
ed up a. gray hulk on the northwest
horizon, there was vigorous wigwag-
ging from ship to ship
'She had a. decided list to port from
hastily filled bunkers that there had
been no time to trim since "dashing in
and out of Key West for fuel.
The big fighter slowed down to a
majestic pace, and then the noise
arose. Rank upon rank of white clad
sailors broke into yells, which came
over half a mile against the wind, and
the crew of the Oregon sent them back
with interest.
As the Oregon glided between the
flagship and the Indiana the iatter's
band swung into the “Washington
Post" march. Then the exchange of
visits began, and the officers and men
of the Oregon were heartily compil-
lmented and welcomed by all.
HAWAII’S FRIENDSHIP.
She Has Cast Away All Pretencc of Neu-
trality and Becomes Our Ally.
Washington, June 3.——The naval of-
ficials n‘ow calculate that Hawaii has
become an allv of the United States
in the present war with Spain and that
at this moment our government is re—
sponsible for the protection of the Ha-
waiian Islands from the consequences
of their friendship for us.
According
United States cruiser Charleston ar-
rived at Honolulu last Saturday. She
has probably completed the taking on
board of a. full coal supply and is new
again on her way to Manila.
The coal was accumulated at Hono‘
lulu by United States Consul General
Haywood, and in allowing the cruiser
to take on a. supply to carry on 'oper-
ations against Spanish territory, the
goVernment 'of Ila-avail has cast away
all semblance of neutrality in the pres-
ent contest and has thrown in her for-
tuneswith the United States, for un-
less we protect her she is subject to
punishment at the hands of Spain.
Moreover, the offence against neu—
trality is to be repeated, for it is ex-
pected that yesterday ’the advance
guard of the transports carrying
troops to Manila. entered Honolulu
harbor to replenish their coal sup—
ply.
GIFTS FOR~ THE RELIEF.

Ordered to the Philippines and- Likely
to Accompany the Monterey.
Vashington, June 3.—The United
States monitor Monadnock now at San
Francisco, has been ordered to M8.-
nila to reinforce the Pacific squadron
under Rear Admiral Dewey. The M0-
nadnock will go into dry dock at once
to be put in shape for the long joul‘a
ney across the Pacific. Her condition.
however, is reported to be excellent.
No elaborate repairs are needed, and
it is expected that inside of a week.
or at the outside. ten ,days, she will
be ready to sail.
She will probably follow closely on
the Monterev, but the understanding
here is that the _two monitors'wlli not
make the journey to the Philippines
_The Monterey will be
ready to sail first, and will not wait for
her sister ship. The Monadnock is a
low freeboard coast defence monitor,
with an iron hull and two,steel bar-
bettes, in which are installed four ten-
inch breech-loading rifles and two
four-inch rapid fire guns as her main
battery.
In addition to this, she carries a sec-
ondary battery of :two six-pounders.
two three~pounders, and two one-
pounder rapid fire guns, and two “111'-
ty-sevcn millimetre Hotchkiss gull).
She has a. displacement of 3,990 tens,
and a. coal capacity of about 200 toms.
In making the voyage to Manila the
monitor will break the long distance
record for vessels of her class, she
having made a. voyage around the horn
many vears ago, which is among the
proud traditions of the navy, and
which ranks with the famous trip of
the Miantonomoh to Europe as a de-
monstration of the seaworthiness of
the monitor type. With the two big
monitors, Monterey and Monadnock,
and the cruisers Charleston and Phil-
adelphia added to his present force,
Admiral Dewey will, it is assumed by
navy department officials, have a. fleet
capable of holding the Philippines
against any combination of vessels
that Spain has to send against him,
even if she should make the attempt
to reconquer the islands.
