WASHINGTON CITY.
TIE ARMY BILL.


Special to the Star.
WASHINGTON, April THE impression is
growing daily that the President will sign
the Army Bill, as he iss clearly committed
to the repeal of the troops at the polls law.
All of the Republicans said they would vote
for the repeal as an independent measure;
and as the President clearly has no right to
object to the manner of preparing bills, he
can not veto this because the repeal is fas,
tened upon an Appropriation Bill.
BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE.
II is now expected that on Tuesday the
House will consider the proposition chang
ing some of the committees and the manner
of reporting appropriation bills, which de.
bate will last day or two. After this is
disposed OF Mr.. Randall will name the com.
mittees The Legislative, Judicial and Ex-
ecutive Appropriation Bill will be taken
up. The debate on this bill which repeals
the election laws, will last a week in the
House.
ARMY BILL IN THE SENATE.
The Senate will not get fairly into the de
bate on the Army Bill before Tuesday, il
so soon as that. Although the subject wa:
cxhaustively debated in the House, there i.
considerable interest to hear the leading
men Of the Senate handle it, and it is ex
pected that many strangers will be in. the
city to hear the big men, of the Senate.
