MIR Pitkin moved for the appoint
ment of Committee to report on the
construction of the Law OF 1903, by
which 100000 were to be annually APP
propriated for the purpose of arming
and equipping the militia Of he United
States. A debate ensued, at some
length, in which Messrs. Pitkin, rroup,
Fisk OF N Y. Fisk OF V. Bib, Wright,
Webster, and Calhoun, took a part
The motion was objected TO, as it might
imply censure on the Executive for a
partial distribution of Tic srms among
the States. I he advocates for the mo-
ton said, their object was inquiry into
the true meaning of the law. The res.
olution was adopted, and referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs.
