WASHINGTON, Feb 12.-The prom
fsed effort on the part of the commit
tee on military affairs to get imme-
diate consideration of the army reor-
ganizatiOn bill promises to be the most
important feature of the proceedings
of the senate during the coming week.
Lines are divided very sharply on this
bill and the contest over its conS1d-
Grafton will unQuestionably be both
fierce and stubborn. The Republican
members of the committee manifest a
strong determination to press the Dill
regardless of all other measures, and
their first effort will be to secure con-
sent from the committee on appropria-
tionS TO set the appropriation bills
aside until the army reorganization
bill can be disposed of. They argue
that it is useless to proceed with the
appropriations, especially those for the
army, until they know how large the
army Will be. They also urge that
there is far greater necessity for
legislation increasing the size of the
army than for the appropriation of
money to meet the government eXpend-
itures.
The Democrats, not only on the mill
itary committee, but throughout the
senate. will resist any effort to get the
army bill through. They say, however,
they will not try to prevent considera-
tion OF the bill.
In speaking on this point, Senator
Jones. of Arkansas, said:
IF the Republicans want to take
the responsibility of filibustering
against the appropriation bills and of
throwing them over to another session
Of congress-. I. for one, am willing that
they should do So"
Continuing, he said that he did not
believe that the army bill could be
passed if it should receive the eXclu-
sive attention Of the senate for the re-
mainder Of the session.
As I look at it," he said, '1f the

ARREST OF coUNTERFEITERs.
4 Dangerous Gang of LawbrcnEers
Finally Broken Up.

\ Dangerous Gang of LRwbrenkers
Finally Broken Up.
The arrest of ten counterfeiters in Bos-
ton Tuesday night effectually breaks Up
one of the most dangerous gangs OF law
breakers in the country, according to
statement made yesterday by John E.
Wilkie, Chief of the Secret Service.
The band, the members of which are
Sicilians began operations in st. Louis
last April, when they put out bogus
81 bill. Two of the conspirators were ar
rested and convicted, when the others
moved their base of operations to New
York. There they began making 81 and s.
notes also. Twenty-Five arrests were made
in New York, resulting in sixteen convic
tions, the last of which was that of one
Laberino. two days ago, who was sem
fenced TO ten years Imprisonment.
The ST. Louis crowd was headed by
Sicilian named Cingumanio, and the New
York gang by one Brancato. Both of these
have been convicted. Chief Wilke says
the Siciiians take to counterfeiting like
ducks to water. and a constant watch has
to be kept over those in this country.
They are clannish to a degree, keep each
them many experts in lithography and
coming.
Two other arrests are reported here,
that of David Barry, coiner at Portland,
Oregon, and Phil Galliana and Elizabeth
Smith, at Philadelphia. for making spuri-
Gus fractional coins. Within the last
three months more than forty dangerous
ccunterfeiters have been rounded up by
the Secret Service Department and are
now in position TO do no harm to the cir
culating medium.

ENGRAVING BUREAU SCANDAL.
superintendent johnson Declines to
Mnl>e a Statement.

The publication of the testimony taken
by the Treasury Department in reference
to the management OF the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing caused a great deal
of comment yesterday. The report, 1t is
argued speaks for itself. Ii was stated al
the Treasury Department yesterday that
il is more than probable that Superinten
dent Johnson will be asked to tender h s
resignation. 1t is taken that the way mat
tiers are said to have been conducted in
that institution. as detailed in the testi-
mony. is a direct reflection on the super
tendent, and the Administration owes II to
itself to purify the department If possible,
and the first step to bring about that Will
it is thought, be to have MIR. Johnson re-
sign.
Secretary Gage is reported to have ex
pressed great Indignation at the conduct Of
affairs and believes that a general over
hauling of the bureau will be the means Of
bettering the service.
Mr. johnson, the Superintendent OF the
Bureau, was seen last night by Times re-
porter and asked if he had any statement
to make regarding the testimony OF wit
nesses as printed in the public document.
MIR. Johnson replied by saying that he had
nothing TO say upon the subject. He was
pressed TO make some kind of statement
in reply to the charges OF witnesses. but
TO all entreaties he positively declined,
saying he did not care TO talk On the sub
iect.
AS Mr.. Johnson's father law and
brother-in-law seem most implicated, it
was naturally supposed. even by the Treas
ury officials. that Mr.. Johnson would be
willing to talk, and the fact that he did not
was surprise to them.

the views OF MIR. Carnegie relative to de-
signs and plans for the library building

lected for that purpose by the Library Com
mission. Mir. Carnegie expressed pleas
ure when informed that the library would
be given such a fine setting in Mount Yer
non Square, where there would be breath
ing space around it. and where it would
be easy of access and Conspicuous. He
did not desire TO interfere with the plans
OF the Library Commission, but expressed
Willingness to be present. or to confer
with its members at any time. He endeav-
ored TO impress upon the minds of the

the money with which the library Is to be
constructed. and the responsibility for the

FORMER JUDGE HILTON ILL.
Family Reticcnt and Greatly Alarm
ed Over His Condition.

New York, March 15.-It became known
yesterday that former Judge Henry Hilton
lies dangerously III at his home, at west
Thirty fourth Street and grave fears are
entertained by his friends for his -ecov-
cry. His condition is said to justify the
alarm that is felt for him. So closely had
the family guarded the knowledge thar ne
was i'll that only a few of his acquaint-
ances knew OF the gravity of his condition.
Probably it would have been kept a secret
for weeks longer had not Albert Il. nitol.

young Mr.. Hilton's debts in come, tiGn
with his unsuccessful dry goods venture.
Mir. Hilton told the referee yesterday that
his father was too Ill to appear and tell Of
his connection with the enterprise He
said that he owed his father 81 25U.o9).
At Mr.. HiltOn's home it was said that
he was very weak and that his family
were greatly alarmed over his condition.
Mr.. Hilton has been i'll since last Oc.ober
He was stricken upon his return .ome
from Saratoga, where ne had gone for his
health, and a physician has been ia con-
stant attendance upon him since then. No
alarm was felt for him until quite recent
ly when his condition became much
worse and he began to fail rapidly.
The members of the household have
been denied for the two weeks tine privi-
lege OF seeing him. The only persons who
are permitted to enter his room are the
physicians, trained nurse and Mr.. di,ton's
private secretary. 1t was said that very
often the secretary is not allowed in the

Mr. Hilton's condition was said % b, so
serious yesterday afternoon that his ply

and was again at his Office yesterday. after
an absence OF week at Atlantic City He
appears to have been much benefited by his
TRIP, and says that despite the inclement
weather encountered at the seashore, he
feels that his health has been improved
The major was accompanied on his trip by
George 4. Slehan, the well-knOwn lumber
merchant OF this city who was also in i'll
health
In speaking OF the recent appropriations
made by Congress for the renting of new
police headquarters and new station
house at Anacostia, Major Sylvester said
that nothing had been definitely deter
mined upon as yet. The appropriations
were provided for just previous to his de-
parture from the city. and the matter of
selecting sites has received no real con-
sideration.
In referring to the new headquarters
Major Sylvester said, that 1t was his desire
TO secure site as centrally located as pos
sible. He has been offered several build
ings by the owners but has reached no
decision concerning them.
1T Is possible" said the major, that
we may be able to secure the erection of an
entirely new building. That would be a
good Investment for any property owner
as the rental would figure as a liberal in
terest on building which would cost to
erect. say s25.000 That sum would be
sufficient to put up a structure of no mean
appearance or proportions. and which
would easily meet our requirements"

CENSUS BUREAU QUARTERS.
The Old City PostOfiicc Building May
Pc Utilized.

The question of permanent quarters for
the Census Bureau has not been decided.
For the present the executive department
will be located on the sixth floor of the
Columbian Building, in Fifth Street, to
which place it was moved yesterday after
noon. The preliminary business OF organ
izing the Census Bureau VIII be conducted
here.
The top floor of the Columbian Building
has been rented for period Of thirty days
by Assistant Director Wines. These quar-
ters were leased with the provision that
the time of occupancy could be extended
10 any length of time the census officials
desired. Consequently they will be rented
from month TO month until new and per-
manent quarters have been found Since
the appointement of Director Merriam and
his assistant. Mr.. Wines. they have besn
constantly unon the lookout for a bui d.
ing sufficiently large to accommodate the
full working force of the bureau. Much
Inconvenience and difficulty was expe-
ricnced in compiling the last two censuses,
owing TO the lack OF proper accommoda-
tion. and il is the intention OF the present
census officials 10 prevent a recurrence OF
former conditions
During 1880 and 1890 the bureau was To-
Gated in four separate buildings and the
limited space devoted to the electrical
punching machines necessitated a double
force of workmen. The location of the
vital statistic department was changed
thirteen times and other branches of the
service We're tranferred from one building
TO another on numerous occasions. During
the past month several propositions have
been submitted to- the census officials by
owners of large buildings agreeing to rent
a part or whole of a building as quarters
for branch department After an inves-
tigation of the accommodations of the va
rious buildings Director Merriam rejected
all of the rendered places. The census of
ficials are determined that the whole force
shall be lOcaied in one building
