The estimates for the support of the army
for the present fiscal year have been prepared
by the War Department and sent to the Treas

Congress at the extra session. These are the
only estimates to be sent in. The Cabinet not

panying documents should relate only to the
business for which Congress is especially con-
vened and not the general subjects of legsla-
tion. 1t is thought, therefore, the message will
be brief. The Senate will, in their executive
session, act upon the nomination of persons
