Washington Notes. Navy station site eyed in Chicago
Chicago may be selected on location for a new naval training station. Gen. Young named president of the new army war college. The president vetoed a bill to remove the charge of desertion from John Glane’s record. Preliminary steps were taken to implement the new Philippine tariff. Friends of Senator Spooner secured his agreement to seek re-election. The Hague treaty provisions should lessen war horrors, with Senate ratification noted. Senator Hoar opposed direct election of senators in a vigorous speech. The president reportedly declined to send Gen Miles to the Philippines, though officials deem it unjust to remove officers. The war department halted investigation into the windler advertisements and registers.
