ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Republican Senators Prefer a Car
promise TO an Extra Session.

Republican Senators Prefer n Ca.
promise TO an Extra Session.
Washington. February 17.--There wa,
a pronounced movement in the senate 10.
day looking TO compromise on the army
reorganization bill. The movement orig.
mated with several republican senators
who advanced the opinion that compro.
misc was preferable to an extra session
of congress. The Cockrell bill was 40.
copied by them as the first advance on
the part of the democrats toward an un.
derstanding, and many felt that they
would go further in that direction in case
the republicans should indicate willing.
ness TO meet them half way.
The movement grew wholly out Of de.
sire to avoid a special session and was
participated in by some of the republican
leaders.
When the matter was brought to the
attention of Senator Hawley, chairman
of the committee on military affairs, he
gave it no countenance whatever. He vas
critical of the Cockrell bill, finding spe-
cial fault with its provisions for natives
of the new possessions in the American
army. He announced his purpose to
stand by his notice to call UP the bill re-
ported by the republican members and
insist on consideration on that basis, and
that only.
Other republican members of the COM
mittee did not appear so decided. Senator
Proctor, who does not support the house
bill, is expected to return, to the Guy
tomorrow and there will then be a ma
jority of the committee antagonistic to
the bill The democratic senators gen
orally assume an appearance of indider-
ence. but the indications are that the'
will make some concessions. 1t may b
stated. therefore. that while no compro.
misc has been reached, good progress has
been made toward reaching one.

| and lie Might He Beaten.
| Paris, February 17.-Although NJ. Lou
bet. possessing the almost unanimous sup
| port of the senate, is so strong a favorite
| for the presidency. it would be rash to
predict his election.
| In the election OF 1895, when NJ Faure
was chosen, NJ, Waldeck- Rosseau was an
almost equally hot favorite, but in the
lirst ballot he only obtained 1856 against Sli
cast In favor of NJ. Brisson. The prece-
dents, therefore, are unfavorable to NJ !.
Loubet. Furthermore. there is a large sec
| ton OF deputies who strongly favor NJ
| Meline.
When at the meeting of progressive re
publican deputies today, NJ. Meline an
nounoed his withdrawal on the ground
that continuance OF his csndidature
would divide his party and perhaps cause
its defeat, noisy dcussion followed A
large section firmly opposed the with
drawal. Unable to arrive at a unanimous
decision, the group adjourned until tonight
when IL reassembled at $50. Resolutions
were then adopted unanimously in favor
OF NJ. Meline's candidacy and the leaders
of the party In the chamber were directed
to endeavor TO arrange an understanding
ON the subject with Its leaders in the sem
ate.
Apparently as the result OF this decision
there viii be three anddates--Loubet. Me-
line and Dupuy--for the latest accounts

ARCHITECT CHAS. MAYDWELL.
Died at His Home on Oregon Street
Yesterday Evening.

Charley Maydwell, the well-known
| architect who designed and built the
fire department and police quarters and
also designed the new city hall now
under construction, died last evening
at O'Clock at his home, 41S North
Oregon street, of consumption.
Deceased was SO years of age and
leaves q widow and three children.
He came here little more than year
ago from Denver, but his home was in
Memphis, Tenn, where he was at one
time the most prominent young archi-
tect in the city. His health failed,
however, and he went to Denver and
finally to Ell Paso. His health had
been failing for some time and while
not entirely unexpected, the end was
sudden.
The remains were turned over to I'm
dertaker Nagley to be prepared for
burial. Due notice of the funeral will
be given, as soon as the relatives of the
deceased aS Memphis have been COM
municated with, for it is not yet known
whether the body will be buried here
or shipped to Tennessee for interment.
A short time ago Mr.. Maydwell
brought suit against Contractor Craw-
ford for $1,000 damages, complaining
that he had been assaulted and serious
ly injured. The suit is still pending.
but it is not known whether the assault
hastened the architects end or not. He
was, however, confined to his bed for
some weeks after it's occurrence.
