WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-During the
general debate upon the army appropri-
alton bill in the house Friday. Mr..
johnson (Rep., Ind.), who made several
notable speeches violently attacking the
policy of the administration during the
consideration of the army reorganiza-
tion bill fortnight ago, returned to the
assault and delivered against the presi-
dent and some of his advisers the most
scathing philippe heard i'll the house for
some time. He sneered at the president
and the influences which he alleged
controlled him, impuSned his motives,
questioned his sincerity and ikened him
to Dickens most contemplate charac-
ter, charged his secretary of war with
incompetency and predicted that the
president would in the end be engulfed
by adverse public sentiment.

Two Appropriation Bills Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The house
was in session seven hours Monday and
sent to the senate two more appropria-
ton bills, the army, which had been
under consideration for several days,
and the Notifications. The former car.
ried about $40, 100000 and the latter ap-
proximately $4,700,OOO. The final con-
ference report upon the Indian appro-
priation bill was also adopted. The
only amendment of Importance attached
to the army bill was one giving two
months extra pay to enlisted men in
the regular army who served beyond the
limits of the United States during the
war with Spain, and one months extra
pay to those who served in the United
States. The discussion of the admins
tration's policy relative to the Philip
pines. which has been occupying the
attention of the members to the exclu-
sion OF appropriation bills, was contin-
ued, several speeches being made on the
subject. Mr.. Dockery, leading Demo-

asserted the appropriations for this year

ARMY BILL. PASSES.
GOES THROUGH THE SENATE BY A
VOTE OF 55 1913.

Restricts Use of Increased Force to Not
pletes Reading of Sundry Civil Bill.
House Passes Two Appropriation Bills.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-After a con-
test that will be memorable in the his
tory OF the senate, the compromise
army reorganization bill was passed
Monday evening. When the senate
convened at IL a. m. it seemed more
than likely that the bill might not be
passed during the day. Mr. German
insisted that his amendment providing
that the army should not be increased
permanently, or beyond July 1, 1901,
be incorporated in the measure. For
several hours it appeared probable this
insistence at least would throw the bill
over until today and perhaps defeat it.
An agreement was reached finally,
however, and Mr.. Gormans amend
ment, in a slightly modified form, was
accepted.
The notable speech of the day against
the measure was delivered by Mr. Vest,
but his brilliant eloquence availed moth
ing against the measure as finally
agreed upon. The 13 who voted against
the bill were: Bate, Berry, Butler,
Caffery, Chiffon, Clay, Daniel, Hoar,
Martin, Pettigrew, Turley, Vest and
