THE REAL FIGHT LATER.

Treaty Of Peace Will lie Ratified with
Little Objection From Democrats.
WASHINGTON. Dec 23.-Clark Howell.
member Of the Democratic national
committee from Georgia and editor Of
the Atlanta Constitution. after consult
ing with the leaders Of both the politi-
cal parties at Washington, has tele-
graphed as follows 70 his paper:
with the adjournment of congress
for the holidays the final decision on
the peace treaty is as clear as it will be
after a vote has been taken in the sen.
ate. Two weeks ago the matter was in
doubt: today il is as certain that the
treaty will be ratified as il will be that
il is after the vote has been taken.
Mr.. Bryan has been in Washington
for several days and has conferred fire.
quen,ly and freely with the Democratic
leaders in both the senate and house.
He has
Advised Ratification of the Treaty
and he is outspoken in the opinion that.
| aside from the question of national OBJ
| legation. il is matter Of party policy
| for the Democrats to throw no obstacle
| u the way of ratific cation. There are
| leading Democrats of both the senate
| and house who less than week age
were in doubt as to whether or not
/ Democrats should assist in ratifying the
treaty: more than that, some OF them
We're outspokrn in the opinion that II
was perhaps better TO reject II. Ioda!
many of these Democratic leaders take
open position that the treaty should o'
ratified. The ratification of the treat.
will not carry with it the assumption
that all those who vote afiirmatiyely ART
in favor of national expansion across tn
Pacific. Opponents OF expansion tax
the view that the
Question of Expansion Is Not Involved
in the consideration of the peace treat.
and that after the treaty has been ratl
fsd and Spain eliminated as factor
, the Philippine problem it will be tim
, enough 10 consider the policy to be pun
, sued in dealing with the Philippines
, and lust here will come the real conte>
, of the question of expansion.
Mr.. Howell summarizes the situate
: as follows:
AS the result of the final encounte

badly severed party lines and ont OF

Argument.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The bill for
the increase of the regular army which
the minority Of the house committee on
military affairs will offer as substitute
for the Hull bill, was drawn by Repre-
sentative Hay of Virginia, and is now
in the hands of the war department,
where an estimate is being made of the
cost Of such military establishment as
it provides. The bill, as drawn, pro-
vides for a standing army of 10000,
$4,000 artillery, 5000 infantry, 5000
cavalry and engineer, ordnance and sig
nal corps and general staff. To meet
the existing eXigency for troops in
Porto Rico. Cuba. the Philippines,
Hawaii and the Ladrones, the
bill provides that the president
may issue his proclamation for $4,000
additional volunteer troops to be en-.
listed for two years These latter
troops are te be commanded by officers
appointed by the president. The or
ganization is to be- the same as in the
regular army. the strength Of the differ
ent arms of the service to be determined
by the president. The present volun
teers are to be mustered out within 81
DAYS after the passage of the act, bu

A dispatch from Chicago says: For the
last time within the grim walls of historic
old Libby prison, men who had endured
imprisonment in that Confederate strong
hold met in annual reunion last week to
celebrate hostoric event. 1t was the
night of Feb. 9, 1864, that 1O9 officers of
the Union army tunneled their way out
of the prison and back to liberty. Last
Wednesday was the 34th anniversary of
that incident. The survivors have for
some years maintained society known
as the Libby Tunnel Association, and
since the transplanted structure was
reared in Chicago they have held annual
meetings within its walls. The old
prison is to be razed this year, and will
not again be built on the original site OF
elsewhere.
