REDUCTION oF THE ARMY.

REDUCTION OF THE ARMY.
The Bill proposing the reduction Of the
Army has been the important matter before
the Senate today. The bill was reported
some days since by the committee of Fin
ance, and will pass TIE Senate in all materi-
al forms as reported, and in all probability
the House Of Representatives. The com
mittee acted upon this subject solely as
a financial question. and felt compelled to
consider it in this light alone. rhe Senate
Committee were also governed in their re.
port by the action of tie House. The report
sIa'es that the House Bill mot yet disposed
~ proposes, first, to disband the second
regiment Of dragon second 10 reduce the
artillery companies from II to So. and third,
the infantry companies from 90 to 81, max
ing, in the aggregate. a reduction of 4,475
from the present establishment of non COM
mlssioned officers, musicians. art;fcers,
and prIvales, amounting TO Il.SO4, leaving
a force. on paper, of 1929. which it would
be exceedingly difficult to keep up, by en-
listmenis, to 5000.
The Committee propose different, and
less expensive plan of reduction, which,in
their judgement, will leave the army in a
more effective condition, and at very little
more cost than the plan suggested BY the
House bill.
The total saving amounts to SEVEN HUMID
RED AND SIXTEEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED
AND SEVENTEEN DOLLARS!

June IS
The Provisional Tariff Bill passed the
Senate yesterday evening after a long and
exciting session of about seven hours. As
| wrote you two days since, the bill passed
with the amendment OF the Committee OF
Finance, instead ofthe proviso of the House.
AS amended, tie Proviso ESCAPED only by
the skin Of the teeth = The vote being a tie
four wings voting against il. and three loco
Senators absent, besides Messrs Myrrick
of Nd, Sprague of r. !. and Southland of
N. j. Messrs. Archer, Berrien, Preston
and Rives we're the four Wings who voted
with the opposition Senators. The effect of
the proviso will be TO postpone the operations
of the Distribution Bill until the first of Au-
gust, and no longer. In the mean time,
there is to be another pitched battle upon
the permanent Revenue Bill before the
House of Representatives, which contains
proviso repeating out and out the 20 per
cent clause of the Distribution Act. The
bill of The Senate will probably become the
bill of The House, and in this form be pre-
sented for the signature Of the President.
The debate in the Senate yesterday was
of unusual animation. Nj Rives led off in
the discussion, and with all the skill and ell
oquence of an able man, fought the proviso.
He was ably met by Mr.. Crlitenden, who
argued that the Senator from Virginia could

the Veto to the provisional tariff bill was
continued in the House until the hour of ad-

CourIer's Washington correspondent thus
speaks of the probability of a Veto on the
Tariff Bill
That the great Tariff Bill, containing as
1t will clause for the continued operation
of the Land Distribution Bill. will he met
by the veto of the President, seems now
clearly established. Congress cannot and will
lot give up the distribution act for them to
do so would be to betray the interests of the
peopie-to prove recreant to their own first
principles. This John Tyler well knows,
and he will take advantage Of the knowlede
to strike another and final blow at the pros
