German, the Imprisonment penalty was stricken out and some of the sections relating to violations of the stamp tax. After an extended de- bate, part of which occurred in secret leg islative session the conference report on the bill suspending certain parts of the ex- isting law relating to the purchase of sup plies by the war department was adopted. The bill permitting officers of the regular army to accept staff appointments in the volunteer army without losing their rank or place in the regular service, was passed.

 When the senate on motion of Senator Hawley went into secret session today on the quartermasters bill, MT. Hawley read a letter from Gen. Flagler. chief of the bureau of ordnance, requesting that au- thority be given for the purchase of ordn- ance without waiting to advertise, saying that such delay might at time be of very serious consequence. The letter was not notable in any respect except that it was an official acknowledgement of the fact that there are still many art icles to be secured for the equipment of the army and that expedition is considered ne- cessary in securing them. The reading of the letter led to a brief discussion of the status of the military operations, and some impatience was express regarding the ap- parent delay in getting the military ex- petition to the Philippines started.
 Senator Lodge made brief speech on this point, expressing the belief that if the pas sage of the bill would expedite in any wise the movement of this force, 1t would be put through without any further delay what ever. He referred to the battle of Manila as the most notable naval triumph of the
