WAsHIEGToE, June POP N.
The Administration members Of the
House had another protrsoted caucus TO-
night, on the course to be adopted with
reference to the Presidents request that
the $500 Communication clause Ebe repealed.
II should be understood that MessrSsohenck
and Garfield, representing the House
Military Committee, have psrsis'
tently urged the repeal
solely because Of the representations made
to the government Of the absolute necessi .
ty Of such g measure 10 prevent our ar
mics from being hOPelsssly depleted. If
there is a mistake about it the mistake is
made BY the President and Secretary Of
War, and nct by the House Military Com
mittse. II is proper also to state that in
the caucus tonight facts were furnished
tending very strongly to show that the
Government does not misspprehend or
overestimate the necessities of The crisis.
These facts, it would Of eouEss, be i'm
proper to give in detail, but is not smiss to
say that they are such as to have largely
aided in preddcing the existing depres-
sion at the Capital, till a stout resistance
is made to the repeal, and at this writing,
3 quarter to eleven, the caucus ia still in
earnest debate, and there is every indica-
tion that q msiority will fatty refuse
to grant the Governments wishes
Fit does, the movement will have been de-
festei by its own party in a matter it
deems Of vital Importance. In any event,
the question thus springs up in Congress
in its closing hours, promises to be of
grave complications.
