Washington, Feb. 24.-That there is
to be an adjustment of the differences
over the army reorganization bill in
the senate is the general opinion
among senators. Few, however, will
attempt to give details, if, indeed,
these have been arranged. The Dem.
ocratic senators have contended for
little more than the fixing of the time
limit for continuance of the exist
ing large army, being willing, as they
said, to give the administration all
the men and money necessary for the
purpose. 1t is understood the fixing
Of the time limit has been agreed upon
as July 1, 1901. 1t is said that the
agreement is that the army shall not
exceed $1,000 men, as provided in the
Coclkrell bill, and that the staff pro-
visions of the Hull-Hawley bill shall
be retained in substantially the same
form as reported from the military
committee. OF the troops authorized
$4,000 are to be raised subject to the
discretion Of the president, and may
be natives of the new possessions or
otherwise, as he may determine
The committee on military affairs
has been called to meet to-day and the
presumption is that the new bill will
receive attention at this meeting. The
programme is to continue the truce
to-day and not attempt to take up the
army bill in the senate before to-mor-
row. 1t is hoped that the new meas
ure may then be reported and passed
hot without explanation an ddebate,
but after only reasonable delay. The
present understanding is that the bill
shall be new measure, not a substi-
tute for the Hull bill. To make it a
substitute would leave the matter
open to the conference committee, and
the Democrats are not willing to take
their chances in a conference COM
mittee. However. after the bill has
passed the senate it will have to go
to the house and be acted upon there
as if no army bill had passed that
body,

down an appropriation of $4,000 to
reimburse various persons who con-
tributed to the support Of the North
Dakota exhibit at the Omaha eXposi-
ton. No appropriation was made by
the last legislature for this expense.

TO do what work was possible to en-
courage the display. The members of
the committee. including Col. c.. A.
LoGnsberry and Commissioner Barrett,
filed a bill with the state for expenses
and outlay and for reimbursing those
who had made private contributions.
The bill was passed by the senate but
defeated in the house after IL warm
debate. The matter will be reconsid-
cred and it is believed that some pro-
vision will be made for paying the
claims. Both bouses have disposed of
the greater part of the measures be-
fore them and will not have great
amount of work from now to the end
Of the session. which is only ten days

To Enlarge the Plant.

II" output Of Captain DeLamar's S
Mercur mine, that has already reached
600 tons daily, is to be increased to 900,
and to that end the enlargement OF the
roasting plant is to be begun in the
next few days. To roast 900 tons daily
the management is now using six giant
furnaces, and to increase the capacity
of the plant simply necessitates an ad-
ditiOn OF three of corresponding size,
for which ample provision was made
when the matchless plant was pro-
iected. Victor M. Clement, who is
now upon the ground, will, in all prob
ability, contract for the enlargements

passing daily through the peerless
