ARMY BILLS PASSAGE. ).
Six Republicans Vote Against It aud
Five Democrats for Il.

Elv0 Ocm0Cr0C0 ZOE AGs
Washington,. Feb. e.-Among the
important amendments to the army
bill adopted before the vote was taken
yesterday afternoon was one to, ex-
tlude the appointment Of civilians to
positions in the engineer corps, one to
abolish canteens and the sale of liquor
in camps, and one to strike out the
provision for additional pay for COM
mands serving in the West Indies, the
Philippines and Alaska.
The amendment of Mr. Cummings, OF
New York, to prohibit the use of
troops in the several states to suppress
riots, etc, except upon the applica-
ton of the states, was defeated by a
large majority.
The motion to recommit, with in.
structions to report back the minority
substitute, only commanded two re-
publican votes, and was lost, III to 40.
The bill as passed provides in addi-
ton to the general officers and staff
departments for twelve regiments of
cavalry of twelve troops each, 144
coast batteries, "a field batteries, 30
regiments of infantry of f2 companies
each, corps of engineers and one
regiment of engineers, an ordnance de-
partment and signal corps, the latter
with 625 enlisted men. The bill also
gives the president discretion to re-
Icruit the organizations serving i'll
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the islands of the
Pacific in whole or in part from the in
habitants thereof.
The passage of the bill was the re-
rult of IL week of hard and often pic
luresque fighting OH the floor, during
the progress of which the opposition
compelled those in charge of the meas
tire to give this discretionary author-
;ty to the president and to make other
notifications, among which was re-
auction of 33i in the number of staff
officers. In consequence of these mod
ifications the republican opposition
practically vanished, and on the final
vote but six republicans voted against
the bill, Messrs Barber of Maryland,
Connolly of Illinois. Loud of Califor-
mia, johnson of Indiana, McEwan of
New Jersey and Wadsworth of New
York. This republican detection was,
however, almost offset by five members
Of the political opposition who voted in
favor of the bill-Messrs. Berry of Ken
lucky, Mcclellan of New York, Nc
Aleer of Pennsylvania, Taylor of Ala
bama, democrats, and Skinner, popu-
list. of North Carolina.
