WANTS ARMY BILL PASSED.
President Me Kinley Tells Several Senators
He Wunts AN Adequate Force to
Met the Situation.


Washington, Feb. 1.-THE president
sent for several senators yesterday to
confer with them about the army bill.
AS a result of these conferences its
passage is now confidently predicted.
The president gave the senators whom
he consulted some information which
convinced them that the extension of
the present legislation providing for a
regular army Of $4,000 would fall far
short of meeting the requirements of
the situation. He informed them that
all of the recruits enlisted in the reg
ular army between the dates of May
10 and October 26 were given the OPP.
ton of discharge at the. close of the
war. If, therefore, provision were
made for maximum enlistment Of
$4,000 only, the getting out of large
number of the regulars upon the rail-
ication of peace by Spain and the
proper exchanges between the two
governments would leave the presi'
dent with an inadequate force at his
command for time, at least, and this
he will use every means in his power
to prevent

to welcome the visiting admiral, who
comes to this country in three
fold capacity, viz: AS British states
man, an officer of the royal navy and a
commissioner from the associated
chambers OF commerce of England.
Lord Beresford's proposal of an open
door" policy in the orient has been re-
ceived with great attention through
out the world and will likely play a
most prominent part in the settlement
of the far east question. In an inter-
view, Lord Beresford said:
II means simply that instead Of spheres Of
influence, " which means the breaking up Of the
Chinese empire, England America, Germany
and japan shall by agreement maintain free and
equal commercial relations for all in the orient
It includes the reorganization OF the Chinese
army, officero1 both rs to commits 'ioned and
non-commissioned officers by Europeans

Deafness Cannot Dc Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach

only one way to cure deafness, and that is

unless the inflammation can be taken out
