ARMY APPROPRIATIONS BILL
Hot Springs Army and Navy Hospital IL the
Chief Point Of Interest

Washington. D. c. Dec 16.-Mr. Bailey
CDem. TeX.) created ripple of excite
ment at the opening of the session of the
house today by asking for the immediate
consideration of the resolution to inves-
ugate the construction Of the battleship
Texas.
Mr.. Dingiey Rep. Mel thought the
resolution ought to be considered by the
committee on naval affairs before being
acted upon by the house. He therefore
objected and the resolution was referred
The house then, on motion Of Mr. Hull.
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, went into committee of the whole
for the consideration of the army appro-
priation bill. Mr.. Hull explained the pro-
visions Of the bill. which carried 81. I2S.-
S44. s775.s73 less than the estimates and
si55.55s less than the current law.
The only new provision in the bill was
for the abandonment OF the army and
navy hospital at Hot Springs. Ark, and
the surrender and transfer OF the reser-
walton TO the interior department. Sew
e-sl amendments looking 10 the abandon
ment Of the hospital were offered and de-
hsted but all went down under points or

Committees.
Washington, Dec. 16.-The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations held meet
ing today which was devoted to con-
6ideration Of the Cuban resolutions which
have been referred to il. No action was
taken and the committee adjourned TO
meet on Friday. 1t was said that the
sentiment Of the committee was favora-
bic toward reporting one Of the resolu-
tons, though its form was not determin-
ed. The postponement of action until
Friday was for the purpose of securing
further information from the state de-
partment as to the situation In Cuba,
especially as to the latest developments
in the island. There is also desire on
the part Of members of the committee to
ascertain exactly what was reported by
Consul General Lee. Many documents
can be sent to the committee, or to indi-
vidual members Of IT, which the depart
ment might not wish to be made public
at this time.
al, the members Of the commit COM
plain of the absence of accurate data
upon which to work, and some Of them
complain that there is a tendency to ex-
aggerate on both sides Of the Cuban con-
troverssy.
The Cameron resolution, as introduced,
is as follows:
Resolved. by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States Of
America, in congress assembled. That
the independence of Cuba be and the
same is hereby acknowledged by the
United States Of America.
Resolved (sec. q, That the United
States should use its friendly offices with
the government Of Spain to bring to
close the war between Spain and Cuba"
Senators Sherman, Cameron and Tur-
pie were appointed subcommittee to
go to the state department and confer
with Secretary Olney for the purpose of
seeing if he had any further information
which might be placed at the disposal Of
the committee, and also to ascertain
more particularly what his views are up
on the effect Of any definite declaration
by congress.
The question was raised In the COM
mittee that action by congress might pro
duce results Of great seriousness. and
this had the effect of postponins action
today. Another point raised was that II
would be in violation Of all precedent for
congress to recognize republics or other
forms of government, but several men,
bers declared that the time for ignoring
precedents had arrived. consequently Il
is predicted that on Friday the Cameron
resolution will be reported favorably.
One reason given for the delay is that,
although the committee may report a
resolution, it is not desirable to have it
passed before the holiday recess. The
result Of passing such resolution by the
senate might be such as to demand i'm
mediate action by congress, and by the
terms of the resolution already agreed
TO, congress will not be in session from
Dec. % until Jan. 5.

committee on the tariff question promises
to attract an even greater number OF
business men to Washington than usual
ly gather during a revision of the tariff.
The committee Is already overwhelmed
by applications from representatives OF
the various interests who are anxious TO
present arguments for increasing the
rates. The Democratic members of the
committee intend to marshal witnesses
in rebutal, to advocate the continuance
of the Wilson bill. They desire to have
their side OF the case included in the
printed record Of the hearings. 1t will
be practically impossible for the COM
mittee to hear al the applicants who
want to present arguments. in the limit
ed time assigned to the subject. The
committee expects that those who ap-
pear viii have their arguments prepared
in writing. to be placed on file and print

WOOL eROwEks RESOLVE
EavorinS m Extra session and Ample Pro.
lection for Wool.

lection for Wool.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 16-The Ma
tional Wool-Growers association at its
meeting here today unanimously adopt
ed the following:
Resolved, That this association favors
an extra session Of congress as soon as
practicable after March 4. 1897, and asks
congress to enact the wool tariff bill SO
agreed upon and we declare that moth
ing less will satisfy the wool-gorwers of
the United States. or fill the measure Of
the promise of the most ample protection
for the wool industry. sanctioned by the
votes of the people in November, 1896"
The association will meet in Washing
ton Jan. 5. 1897. to present the claims OF
wool-growers to the benefits of the pro-
posed bill.
On motion Of Mr.. Frank P. Bennett of
Boston and Secretary W. B. Markham of
New York the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved. That We do not oppose the
immediate passage of the Dingley bill,
providing only that the following amend
ments are incorporated therein: First,
removing the provision that the law shall
continue until 1898. and, second. that the
duties on 'woolen rags. shoddies. wastes
and other wool substitutes shall be prac-
tically prohibitory."
preamble to the resolution recites
that the association recognizes the de-
STABILITY Of immediate action to prevent
the flood of speculative importations OF
foreign woods which would occur in ad-
vance Of a proposed increase of duties,
and insists on the speedy passage of a
law which shall give to the wooi-grow-
ers the most ample protection" prom
ised by the st. Louis platform; also that,
while doubling the expediency of pass
ing the Dingley bill in an event it is the
expectation that a proper wool tariff bill
will be enacted at an extra session OF
congress, if spirit of concession deems
it advisable to interpose no objections to
the passage Of the bill If the amendments
specified in the resolution are made.
The date for the meeting in January
was subsequently changed from the fifth
to the fourth of the month. The wool ir:-
tereSts are to have a hearing by the
ways and means committee on the 9Th
of January and the association will as
semble here two days earlier for con-
sultatiing on important matters to be
presented.

WESTERN IRON MARKETS
Prices Not Settled since the Associations
Dissolution.

Chicago, H., Dec. 16.-The Industrial
World tomorrow will says: Prices in the
western iron markets have not yet ad-
justed themselves to the new conditions,
caused by the dissolution of the associa-
tions. They are descending to a lower
level Steel billet quotations were weak
and irregular, and all finished steel pro-
duoct is more or less affected. though
sales of the latter have lately been pro-
portionately much lower than billets, and
may not suffer to the same extent. De-
mand for all commodities is moderate, or
light. Beams have temporarily strength
ened to $40 and local pig iron is firm at
s1l.75 for No. foundry. Nails have
weakened to 81. So at Chicago.
