Washington. Jan. c5.--The debate on
the army reorganization bill opened in
the house yesterday under an agree
ment by which the general debate Is
to run 15 hours, exclusive of three
night sessions. the final vote to be taken
not later than 3 o'clock next Tuesday
Practically three propositions are be-
fore the house. the house bill providing
for a standing army Of 100000, 900 men,
the minority substitute increasing the
standing army to 10000 men and lods-
ing with the president discretionary
power to call out $4,000 volunteers for
emergency service. and proposition
to continue temporarily the regular
army at Its present war strength-62.-
900. 1t is also understood that Mr..
Marsh. of Illinois. will champion the
Miles bill. Among the supporters of the
majority bill there are those who, like
Mr.. Mcclellan. Of New York. son of
General George b. Mcclellan, favor
provision for a general staff made up
of officers Of the line. so as to make
the army organization responsible to
a single head. The fate of the measure
is still considered doubtful. though
Chairman Hull and his friends pro-
fess great confidence In its passage.
Two notable speeches were delivered
in the senate yesterday one by Mr..
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, and the other
by Mr.. Clay, of Georgia. While the
the two senators differ dametrically as
to the policy of expansion, upon which
they dwelt, both are in favor of the
Immediate ratification Of the pending
peace treaty. They contend that once
the treaty is ratified congress will have
full power to deal with conditions re-
specting the territory acquired during
the war with Spain. and not before.
Mr. Lodge particularly argued for II
formal declaration of peace. which
could be had only by the ratification of
the treaty. That accomplished, he was
willing to trust the American congress
and the American people to deal fairly.
justly and periodically with the Phil.
irppinc islands. Mr.. Clay strongly op-
posed expansion, especially on the
ground that 1t would necessitate the
maintenance Of n large and expensive
standing army The opponents of the
treaty are anxious for vote.

Happy Ending of the Conference Be-

Plttsburg, Jan. 25.-Carnegie Hall, In
Allegheny, rang with the hymn of
America" last night in ratification of
the settlement of the wage differences,
which was effected between the coal
operators and miners of the states
of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and Penn
sylvania. The settlement means peace
for more than 100000 men and their
employers as far as the general issues
are concerned
The settlement was reached after one
of the most notable gatherings in the
history of the industry. The leaders
of both sides made bitter fight. and
at times it looked as If there would be
a split and chaos prevail in the great
industry. Last night every operator
and miner was in the best of humor,
and all left for their homes feeling
glad. The only soreness is with 'the
block coal interests Of Indiana. Yes
terday William Risher, block coal oper-
ator, announced that he desired to
change his vote, which had been in fa-
vor of adopting the scale. He was a
member of the scale committee. His
announcement caused no surprise, and
the remainder of the delegates decided
that the settlement should stand, in
spite Of the protest.
