promise.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The presi-
dent has conveyed assurances to some
of the party leaders in congress, in adj
dition to those given last week, that
he will certainly call congress together
army reorganization bill at the present
session.
In answer to repeated inquiries, the
administration has been obliged to de-
cline all the propositions looking to
the tiding over of the needs of the
army by passing a joint resolution
simply extending the appropriations on
the basis of the present organization.
holding that this device would be ut
terly inadequate to meet the absolute
necessities of the case.
The status of the volunteers would
1t IS said, be extremely unsatisfactory
and there would be absolutely no as
sUrance that the president could retain
them in service even when the emer-
would apply to the regular army SOL
diers who enlisted for the war
A very serious objection to the joint
resolution programme, too, according
to the war department officials, would
be it's failure to supply the staff and
line officers absolutely needed. These
officials say that the pending Hull bill
provides for just S22 original appoint
ments of second lieutenants, and 1t is
declared to be the policy of the admin
istration to divide these places among
the states and territories on the basis
of the population
Reports from the senate end of the
capitol convey the impression to the
officials that the speediest way to Sc
cure action upon the reorganization
bill is to allow the Cockrell bill to be
reported from the military committee,
it being understood that this bill COM
mands the support of the majority Of
that committee. Providing, as it does,
for purely native soldiery in Cuba,
Porto Rico ard the Philippines, the
measure is looked upon by the war de-
partment officials as most unsatisfac-
tory. Therefore, they have urged their
friends in the senate. while allowing
this bill to be reported from the COM
mittee. to move the adoption of the
Hull bill as it came from the house as
a substitute

CONCESSIONS TO CANADIANS.
American Members of Joint High
Commission Acting Literally.

WASHINGTON. Feb 15-Whether
or not the negotiations looking to the
settlement of the dozen or more issues
between the United States and Canada
by means of the joint commission. now
in session. ultimately will fail entire
~, can scarcely be foretold here at this
moment. But, regardless of the out
come. 1t can be stated on authority
that the American commissioners have
not. as has been reported, refused the
concessions asked for by the Canad-
ianS.
On the other hand the American
commissioners have listened with the
greatest patience for the last six
months to every argument which the
Canadians cared to present in support
of the important concessions they de-
sired. and so far from refusing these
the Americans have granted some of
the most important concessions, that
1t is admitted are so broad as to make
it difficult for the American commits
sloners to assure themselves of the
support of their government and con-
gresS in allowing them.

The Jacobson grain investigating
committee put in a part of the after

from farmers. complaining because of
excessive dockage.

inquired of the committee where the
millers got their No. l hard wheat. as
it had been their boast that none other
than No. l hard was used in manu-
featuring their flour. 1t was a fact
