JORITY OF THE SENATE To The ARMY BILL
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TEIBUSE.l
WAsHNGToN, April 11.-When Senator Here
ford's speech was concluded at $3.50 O'Clock this
afternoon the Senate proceeded at TO the con-
sderation of the Army bill. which was considered
and practically disposed of by sections, down TO
that which contains the political legislation Some
debate took place upon provision which gives TO
the examiner of State claims in tho Office OF the
Secretary of War the pay, emoluments ana allow
ances of mounted officers grade higher than
that held by him in his regiment or corps. General
Logan made an earnest protest against the favorit-
ism which was always shown to officers on duty In
Washington, by providing extra allowances and
privileges which are denied to those who are en-
during the hardshps of soldiers life III the field
He said the State war claims should be nearly all
in and adjusted by this time, and he saw
no reason for making such n provision
now Senator Edmunds showed that the pro-
vision contained no limit as to the rank Of the
officer to be detailed. A brlgadicr general might
be placed on such duty and might claim the pay
and allowances of maor-general Senator Blaine
submitted an amendment covering these two objec-
tiOns, by providing that the pay should not III any
event be greater than that of major and that the
extra allowance should cease at the end of four
years. A yea and nay vote was taken upon this
amendment, and it was opposed by every Demo-
cratic Senator This at once gave rise to the susp-
cion that the unanimity of the Democrats was due
to an understanding reached in not to allow
any amendments whatever to be made to the Army
bill in the Senate and the Republicans set TO W0Tk
TO test the matter more thoroughly. Senator All-
son moved to strike ont the word "and" and sub
stitute that" in place where the latter word
would manifestly make better sense.
During the progress of the roll-cal several Repub
lican Senators. who had paired on political ques-
tons took occasion to announce that as the Demo-
Gratis were making political question of the pend
ing amendment they would abstain from voting
Democratic SetatOrs who had pairs thereupon aD,
already been called, withdrew their votes. 1t Is
established therefore beyond n reasonable doubt
that the Army bill has already been passed by the
Democratic caucus and that the Senate of the
United States has practically nothing to do with It
except to talk about it, Discussion upon Section IT,
containing the political legislation VIII begin on
Monday The telegraph section of the bill was
passed without a division.
