Democrats and Populists Will Make o.
Bitter Fight Against It.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a The time o..
the house this week will be devoted to
the army reorganization bill. The con-.
sideration of this bill, which is regarded
as -eminently the most mportant
general measure to come before COM
gress at this session, has been delayed
by the Illness Of Chairman Hull of the
military affairs committee. He has re-
covered sufficiently to pilot the meas.
ure, however, and the house has for
mally agreed to take up it's consideration
at once. The general debate, not in
Guiding three night sessions, is to con.
stinue Is hours. This is as far as the
agreement goes. It contains no pro-
vision for q final vote. The debate
promises to be both interesting and inn
portant as 1t will raise all the question:
involving the increasing Of our
standing Army to 100, 900 Mon,
as provided by the bill, together with
our whole future policy relating 70 ter.
ritory acquired ID the recent war with
Spain. There exists q wide variety o.
opinions upon the proposition to in
crease the standing army. Il has !
strong majority Of tho Repub licans be-
hind il. and it comes into the house with
the ind orsement Of the presidents mes.
sage, practically as an administration
measure. The Democrats and Populists
are intensely hostile to the whole propo
.sition and intend to fight it to the las,
ditch. They will have some support
from the Repub lican side. The opposii.
tion, however, does not desire to embar-
rass the administratio and are willing
to provide fora temporary increase il
the army Of SO, 600 men in accordance
with the provisions Of the substitute
bill offered by the minority Of the com.
nittee. ID .-aa.

"SOLID SIX"
SCHEME FAILED
The big Four to Willy to
to Be Drawn Into
the Scheme.

A sensation was created at the meeting
Of City Council last evening, when an at
tempt was made on the part of the
,'soiid six" to take advantage OF the
present storm OF cersure being showered
on President Pyle Of the Board of Police
Commissioners, by taking up the elec.
ton OF city auditor, hoping that at least
one Of the "big four" would for the sake
OF ousting Isaac Pyle, President Pyle's
Democratic brother, from Office, vote for
the candidate of the solid six" for that
office.
The "big four" Messrs. Kane, Smith,
Willis and Mousley, however were not
caught mapping and although all of them
were DESTROYS of seeing Mr.. Pyle relieved
of his office, still they were not DESTROYS
OF helping the "solid six, Messrs. Mona
CHAN. Alexander, Groves, Healey, Can
non and Oberly, to elect one man Oh
their slate. Mr.. Pyle has already served
two terms and is now serving third
term because Council happens to be
deadlocked over the election of city Of
ticers.
The idea of attempting to elect city
auditor seems to have originated with
Mr.. Cannon. He thought it would be
lucky night for balloting, and after all
the business had been transacted and
about the same time that Mr.. Kane
moved to adjourn, he moved to resume
ballotng for clerk of Council. His mo-
ton was agreed to and balloting began.
The result OF the first ballot showed that
the "solid six" had voted for J. w.
Thompson, the big four for W. T.
Morrison, and Hamilton Stewart and
Jonathan Groves, the two Republicans
for W. II. Dure. George NJ. Fisher, the
other Republican member, was not pres
ent at the meeting.
A second ballot was called Tor by Mr..
Monaghan, but the vote was the same as
before. Then Mr.. Cannon moved that
further balloting for clerk be dispensed
with, which was agreed to.
lie then showed what was the object
of the balloting when he moved that
council 60 into the nomination and cleo.
ton of City Auditor. Mr.. Stewart
nominated William File, Mr.. Willis, H.
+. First and Mr.. Cannon, J. d. Thomp.
son, Mr.. Pyle's name was not placed in
nomination.
Thompson received the vote of the
"solid SIX File, the two Republican
votes and First, the vote OF the big
four" Four ballots were taken but the
hoped for break in the ranks OF the "big
four did not occur. On motion of Mr.
Groves, ballotng was suspended. He
then moved that the election of baliff
be taken up.
Mr. Groves nominated Robert Crozier,

Ninetieth Birthday Of Thomas Moore.
Lines written for the Anniversary of the nine
tie.h birthday of lhos. j. Moore, by
his sister. NJ j. T..

He was born ninety years ago
to-day,
In the same old house of frame,
Where generations before him.
Had borne anunSullied name.
How the years have passed it mat
tiers not,
For we find him here to-day;
And we greet his happy smiling
face
With his locks Of silvery gray.
We meet with him to celebrate,
His birth and honored name,
Then let us spend the day in love,
For we may not meet again.
Come children all both grand and
great.
With friends in unity combine.
With willing hands and happy
hearts.
Around this aged grandsire
Irvine.
On the old farm, his native soil.
From youth to age. he has lived
alway;
Who of us will live to say with
! am ninety years old to-day.
Yes ninety years, four score, and
ten,
Through life where cares bcfall,
Had joys and sorrows in his day,
Still lives to meet us all.
And of his generation past.
Who sat around the old hearth
stone,
Only one sister remains to him,
We two are left alone.
We enjoyed the pleasures of child
All through life did kind feelings
abide,
And now IL our declining wears,
We paM, down side by side.
Those youtkful days have all gone
by,
We have grown old together,
Our birthdays come and 90 again,
We too will pass forever. =,
God grant our last remaining days,
May be spent IN peace and love,
Dear friends if we never meet
again,
May We meet in Heaven above.
Where joy and praise forever reign,
Upon that boundless shore,
Where sin and sorrow enter not,
And parting is no more.
October 18th, eighteen ninety nine,
In Harvey Baldwin's home,
We bid good bye, hoping to meet
Dear friends for years to come.

Cincinnati, Dec. 2.-There is a
movement on this side of the river, as
well as in Kentucky, to present the
name of Governor Bradley for the

tinued until Governor Bradley recent
