TIE ARMY BILL.
The arena Of debate has been trans.
fsrrsd from the House to the Senate.
but IL is still on the army bill, and 1t Is
said Ii will continue for three weeks.
II will certainly continue - long as the
Republican Senators are to mako
speeches. There IL no patent process
to stop debate In the Senate. More
than one such contest has ended only
through utter exhaustion not only Of the
subject, but Of the debatsrs. There
eems at present TO DO but little real In.
tefest in the debate. The public mind
has long since been made up on tho
merits OF the question. The press has
presented the subject In every possible
light, and now the only thing that re-
mains unanswered and interesting Is the
great Bulwerian question. What will

new light on these questions, and their
importance connected with tho fact that
they will not be answered for at least u
month makes the debates very tedious.
There 10 q very strong determination on
the part OF some members OF Congress
to introduce legislation outside Of that
for which the special session was called.
This is Of course very popular in the
District.
