ARMY PAYMASTERS
Considered by Representative Browne Too

Considered by Representative Browne Too
Expensive Glass of Officials.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Army paymasters
are rallying all their influence to defeat. if
possible, when the army appropriation bill
comes up in the Senate, the amendment
which Representative Browne. of Indiana,
had inserted when the measure was before
the House The amendment seeks to ac-
complish the gradual extinction of the pres
ent grade of paymasters, transferring the duty
of paying the army to the quartermaster' S
department. Representative Browne gives
some interesting facts relative to the ex-
travagance of the paymasters system as now
organized. The pay department draws sal
ary to the amount of $219, 100, divided among
officers as follows: One brigadier-general,
$5, 500; two colonels, $500 each; two lieu
tenantcolonels, $4,000 each; fifty majors,
So, 500 each, and fifty-four clerks 81. 400 each.
To this add mileage, Communication for quar-
termasters stores fuel, forage, subsistence,
etc., amounting to, say 100000, and we have
total of $500 going to officerse to pay the
sum of 81 100000 to II ,651 troops. There are,
including the retired list, 1884 officers in
commission, which, by adding paymasters'
clerks and hospital help, amounts to 1922 for
our little army. 1t is believed that the
amendment will be favorably reported to the
Senate.

sHIPPING-BILL DISCUSSION.
Reasons Why 1t Should Pass, Even if Cor
rection Is Proved Necessary.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. ii, = Representative
Browne took part in the discussion TODAY
with one of his pertinent and incisive
speeches, addressing himself to the asser-
ton of a gentleman from the tobacco sec
ton that he would not vote for the shipping
bill unless the tax was taken off tobacco.
Representative Browne said there were
features of the bill, such as the rebate on
material and the prohibition of State tax,
the action of which he did not approve,
but he should nevertheless vote for
the bill, believing something should
be done to restore our shipping,
and IL experience did not prove this measure
to be wise one, future legislation must
correct it. AS to the demand of the gentle
man for the abolition of the tobacco tax, he
desired to say for himself (Browne) that he
would never consent to remove the tax from
whisky and tobacco so long as the govern
ment had need of revenues. He would never
vote to retain the taxes upon the necessaries
of life-the sugar and coffee, the clothing and
household goods-to which the poorest and
humblest must contribute, while the reve-
nues can readily be derived from the luxur-
les of life mainly enjoyed by those who can
afford to pay for them.

THE QUESTION oF RANK.
Life Too Short to Revise the Status of Army
Officers.

Ofiicers.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE report to the
Senate OF the military committee on the sub
ject of seniority in the army says; "Your
committee do not believe that it is within
the reasonable power OF Congress, in fact
life is too short to undertake to minutely re-
view and reconsider, and remove anew, all
seeming or imagined grievance of every off
Ger now in the regular army in regard to the
dates OF entry into service, and relative to
rank, etc. After a lapse of seventeen years
from the close of the late war and
the disbanding of large num-
ber of officers in the volunteer
service, and the reorganization and reduction
of the regular army, the present dates of en-
try into the service and relative rank of all
officers now in service has been known and
acted upon for years. They have been
nominated by the President and confirmed
by the Senate and have accepted. There
must be an end to legislation upon these
questions, or confusion worse confounded,
strifes and contentious will exist and in
crease with every act of legislation. The
time of Congress and the valuable time of
officers of the army can be more profitaby
and pleasantly employed than in overhaul
ing and attempting to correct or change the
existing statutes Let peace prevail in the
army as in civil life. Your committee
recommends that the bill and the whole sub
ject matter therein referred to be indefinitely
postponed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The passage of the
Fitz John Porter bill by the Senate to-day
was no surprise, as it only required one Re-
publican vote and weeks ago it was known
that Don Cameron had decided to support
the bill. The greatest interest has, however,
been awakened in the subject, and upon
every occasion when it was known that the
Senate would discuss it the galleries have
been crowded. Members of the Massachu-
setts delegation are not greatly pleased with
Senator Hoar's vote for the bill, and declare
that it has destroyed his chances for re-elec-
ton. Senator Logan, in his brief review of
the case before the vote was taken, two or
