unless the administration party in That

| This Of course. will necessitate an extra |
session of the upper branch OF Congress |
! VIII .ch will be called Immediately after |
the lth of March. Then the army bill |
will meet with great autasonsm in both
branches. with fair indication that its
| friends will not be able TO pull it through
the present session. If this should be the
cas-. there will he an absolute necessity
for an extra session Of Congress, and this
! is the more probable because the reor-
| ganizition of the army viii in great
measure derend on the disposition OF
the PHILIPPINES. If the islands are not
annexed much smaller army than that
contemplated by either the Hull the
Miles. or even the Hay bill will be needed.
On the other hand, if the Philippines are
| To lie annexed large and powerful army
and navy will be required, and Congress
may. in that event, be in session the
greater portion of summer making the
necessary legislation.
