Washington February 2O.--The action o,
the senate today in taking up the army bill
presages a prolonged talking match. The
democrats and opponents of the Hull army
bill are still as determined as ever to de-
feat that measure and the administration
forces in the senate say they can pass 1t.
Some people affect to believe that a COM
promise is probable after Senator Hawley
has made his speech explaining the Hull
bill, and Cockrell has made his. explaining
his bill, which 1t is mistake to call a
compromise measure, but is consistent
democratic position. The army bill is
now the unfinished business and nothing
else can be considered in the senate ex-
cept by consent OF Senator Hawley, and
en- a test vote 1t is believed he can hold
his forces.
A feature OF the vote today 10 take up
the army bill was the attitude of Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania, who voted with the
democrats 10 refuse to consider it. 1t
Is said he did SO to curry favor with the
Pennsylvania democrats TO aid him in his
fight for recollection.
The consensus of congressional opinion
here tonight is that there will be an extra
session.
when the senate convened today, Mr..
Chandler IN. II.) entered motion 10
reconsider the vote by which the naval
personnel bill was passed and that the
measure be recalled from the house IN
order that some errors might be corrected.
The order WIS made.
Mr.. CockreIl MOD secured the passage
of a resolution calling upon the secretary
of war for detailed information of the cost
of the army under the proposed Hull bill.
The house amendment to the Dill authot
izing the president TO appoint cadets TO
the naval academy was concurred IN Inc
bill now goes TO the president
Bills were passed as follows:
Attaching Claiborne county, Miss TO
the Western division OF the Southern us
tict OF Mississippi; amending an act pro-
vidng for the change of time and place oil
holding the district and circuit courts OF
the Northern district of Texas.
Consideration OF tho postofflce appro-
priation bill was then resumed and Mr.
Butler IN. CO continued his argument In
favor of a reduction of S6,00ot00 IN the
amount paid for railway mail transporta-
ton.
Mr.. Chandler IN. HI, opposing the
amendment Mr.. Butler offered. said he
could see no wisdom in withholding from
the railways the amount they are TO be
paid under existing laws, thus creating a
deficiency which would have TO be paid.
He was inclined to believe that the sum
raid railroads for mail transportation was
loo high. but that point should be estab-
lished before action.
In a brief reply to Mr.. Butler, Mr.. AL
lison said that after pretty careful exam
ination of the subject he was convinced
that many railways Of the country actually
received less for the transportation OF
