CONGRESS AND THE ARMY.
An Effort May He Made 10 Pass the Line Re-
organization Hill.

WASHINGTON, April 2. - Whether Con-
Rress. At the present session. will find time.
in the intervals of discussing the Tariff bill,
or S g neral legislation. outside OF the four great
am reputation bills. seems SIN uncertain. II
IL should. the army could put In q strong claim
for attention. and several bills relating TO 1t
have already been intTod uced.
Prominent among them Is the Lamont bin for
line reorganization. This measure adds two
regiments to the artillery and two companies
to each regiment OF infantry. Two principal
aYgumen's are relied upon for urring this
measure. One is that the new Iorts are now
going up so fast and the heavy guns for them
are coming forward In such numbers that Il is
prudent. even taxing into ropsidera, Ion only
the question OF proper care for the new batter
les. to provide more artlllerymen. In addi-
ton. there Is the need OF moro men to work
the guns. and these should be instructed as
soon as possible in their duties. As To the in
fantry. IL desires the three battalion orzaniza-
ton. while the experience Of four years ago,
in which the Government hat. 10 call on its
troops for the enforcement OF Federal laws.

Another measure OF interest is Mr.. Haw-

mcnt amd payment of dues TO army officers has
also been, introhuced. Mr.. Grosyenor's bill
tc make the ChickamaugR and Chattanooga
Park u field for the military manoeuvres Of the
regulars and the organized militia should also
be mentioned.
A bill which has an interest beyond the
army is one to establish u bureau of military
education. in. charge of an army officer. and
TO promote the adoption of uniform military
drill In the public schools OF the country. The
measure designed "a increase tho pay OF non-
commissioned officers of the army has hereto
fore been earnestly urged. The old project
for building another heavy gun factory, to DO
established At Benicia. reappears. Rather a
noticeable bill 10 the one that provides for
the mobilization of 10. 900 regular soldiers and
marines and the organized militia OF the
States for ten days between July ] D and Aug.
% next A House bill would retire, with an
additional grade, army officers not now above
the rank OF Captain who served In the var.
Thus there 10 variety in the military leGls-
latlon proposed. but the Line Reorganization bill
is easily tho most important both 70 the ser
vice and the country.

ANTI-TRUsT AMENDMENT.
Senator Chandeliers Scheme for De-
feating the Pooling Bill.

WASHINGTON May Ex-senator Chand-
Ter has prepared the following amendment
to the tariff bill, which he proposes to add
to the antitrust amendment proposed by
Senator Pettigrew yesterday:
THE act to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monopolies,
approved July 2, 1880, shall apply to all COM
pani4s. corpora tons and persons engaged
as common carriers in the business of
transporting persons property, and all
the penalties imposed and methods of re-

the order or on the recommendation of
representatives designated on behalf of the

jority of such representatives, or for the
maintenance of the rates of transportation
once fixed; or for the enforcement of any
on any of the parties thereto shall con-
stitute an offense under said act of July 2,
1890
Mr.. Chandler says that if the pooling bill

position where 1t may be pressed through
at a session intended for tariff legislation
only, especially when the House refuses to
do any other business, then the amendment
offered by Senator Pettigrew and the above
amendment offered by himself will be
placed on the tariff bill by the votes of
Democrats, Populists, silver Republicans
and other Republicans and retained as a
part OF the bill. The intention of the
nullify any action that may be taken
toward passing a pooling bil;.

printed blank issued by the board, which
may be obtained at the county clerk ONCE;

twenty-five rounds O'Brien had the adj
vantage in weight. The kid was the
favorite in the betting. as much rs 100 to
40 being laid on him. and a ton of money
was wagered on him at odds of and 3
to /. Mccoy was far the better ring gen
eral. He simply wore down his opponent,
who. despite gameness, was outcjassed,
and after they had only gone half through
the tenth roNnd Referee Charley. White
stopped the fight and declared Mccoy the
winner. O'Brien was badly beaten and
