THE HOUSE.

The house met at II o'clock to close
debate on the army reorganization bill.
The opposition before this time had
practically abandoned hope of being
able to compass either the defeat or re-
committal of the bill. When the house
resumed work on the bill today section
12 relating to the pay department, had
been reached The number of assistant
paymasters general with the rank of
colonel provided by the bill was reduced
from four to three with the rank of
lieutenant colonel, from eight to five,
and the paymasters with the rank of
major from AZ to 35. The age limit for
appointments to this department was
reduced from so to 40.
At 8 o'clock, under order, the COM
mittee of the whole reported the army
bill to the house. A motion to recommit
the bill was lost, III to ITO.
The house rejected the Cummings
amendment to prevent the army being
used to suppress riots in the states ex-
cept upon application of governors. An
amendment by Mr.. Johnson, of North
Dakota, to prevent all sales of intoxi-
cants in the army canteens was adopt
ed.
Later-The army bill has passed the
house, 1855 to 126.

Little Coterie of Senatorial Soreheads Still

Washington, Jan 31.-A bill has pass
ed the senate granting extra pay to Off
GERS and men on the temporary force
of the navy, two months extra pay to
those who served beyond the limits of
the United States and one months pay
to those who served within the United
States.
Senator Berry, Democrat of Arkan-
sas, thus addressed the senate on the
Vest anti-expansion resolution: IF
in November, 1896, it had been known
that the president, so soon after inau-
guration, would be asking congress for
an army of 100000 men to subjugate
and reduce people 1000 miles from our
shores who We're endeavoring to estab-
lish a government for themselves, he
would not have received a single cleo
toral vote in any state. If the senators
on the other side, now advocating a pol
icy of expansion, had been told then
that they would thus depart from the
principles of the Declaration of Inde
