ing began il was found that Volkmar
had four votes more than Taubman,
and he received the election. Another
sharp fight came over the secretary
ship. Mr.. Halliday was again "a candi-
late, but a certain feeling had been
aroused that the offices should be
passed around, and before the voting
began, seeing that his chances were
hopeless, Halliday withdrew. George

elected by reclamation. The following
officers were then chosen:

fairs, with a few minor amendments,
or there will be an extra session of
congress. Such is the ultimatum of
President Mckinley to the combine
of democratic senators who have un-
dertaken the job of holding up the
army bill, and he means business.
The democratic offer to compromise
by authorizing a continuation of the
regular army on war basis for one
year from next July, has been reject
ed. The reorganization and increase
of the army, provided for in the Hull
bill, is regarded as necessary by Pres
ident Mckinley, and he intends to
have it, if not from this congress, then
from an extra session of the Fifty
sixth congress, to be called immedi-
ately after the close of the present
session. Not only are all the vo1un
teers entitled under the terms of
their enlistment, to an immediate
discharge as soon as the treaty of
peace goes into effect, which will be
as soon as the Spanish Cortes has
ratified the treaty and copies of it
have been exchanged by representa-
tives of Spain and the United States,
but more than half of the regulars
enlisted with the same provision
that they could claim their discharge
at the close of the war.
