MIR. VOORHEES, AND CLOS' IKE.
The move made to-day by Mr. voorhees, In
introducing closure amendment Is not looked
on as a serious one. Under the terms OF the
present truce such an amendment cannot be
considered. and after lying on the table Tor one
day it will go. as other similar amendments
have already gone, to the calendar. IT is not
unlikely that the amendment offered to-day
was put in with the single purpose or side
tracking" Mr.. Hills closure scheme. Mr. Noor-
hees has repeatedly expressed himself during
the pending debate az opposed To any attempt
to change the rules now, and he probably agrees
with his colleagues Mr.. Turpie, Mr. German.
Mr.. Faulkner and all the other Democrats OF
long service and influence that Mr.. HITS recent
efforts on behalf of closure by arbitrary action
are opposed to all sound party tradition and to
party interest.
Mr. Hills petition to the Vice-Presdent to
"cose debate on some proposed new rule has
as yet obtained few Democratic signatures. and
1t is not likely to be further factor in the
situation. If compromise fails. and the fight
for closure rule is taken up again. Mr.. Aldrich
will probably be chosen to conduct IL. and his
marked adaptability to lead such fight. If IL is
TO be a serious one. cannot be questioned

SATISFACTORY PROGRESS WITH HIGH-POWER
GUNs-THE TERN OF ENLISTMENT
INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.
Washington. Oct 2o-The annual report OF the
Major General commanding the Army was maze
nublic to-day. General Schofeld says. in part:
Satisfactory progress has been made during
the last year IN the fabrication OF modern high
,ower guns and considerable work has been done
IN providng empIacements for such guns and NOR
tars Experiments have also been continued Ill
respect to disappearing carriages Tor such guns.
Conclusive results In this last regard have not yet
been reached but yet such progress has been made
that efficient carriages could be rapidly constructed
in case of immediate need. 1t Is hoped that neces
gary appropriations for the continuation OF this
work will not be withheld. so that the policy which
has now been steadily pursued during the past
five or six years may be continued until the great
seaports of the United States are placed In
condition Of security.
"In an army so small as that permanently main
tanned nv the United States. the all-important
requisite is efficiency and reliability under any
and all circumstances that may arise. TO secure
this IL seems evident that the policy should con-
template the elimination as soon as practicable

OF all whose military deveiopment proves to De
