HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Army Bill Before the House.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-When the
house met the speaker announced thal
he had a communication from the Ianlly
of MIR. BoutclIe, of Maine, resi6nlng ms
position as chairman of the committee on
naval affairs. Mr. Dalzell. of Pennsyl-
vania. from the committee o. rules, then
presented a special order for the ltnihe-
date consideration of the army plli.
Mr. Richard. n, of Tennessee, said tiat
his side Of the house recognized the ne
cessity for some legislation, but did not
agree that this bill. establishing a per-
manent standing army, should become
law. If an emergency exists, an emer-
gencv should be provided for 1t was
proposed to provide an army which could
be expanded at the will of one man from
900 to $1,000. Ne matter how good OF
able that man might be he was not will
ling to see one man given such power.
II was, in his opinion, )dicaung the
functions of congress. MIR. Richardson
said ne was ready at all times to vote to
put down rebellion anywhere and every
where that it existed, but under the stress
of an emergency. he was not Wiling 10
establish permanently large standing
army.
Mr. Underwood, of Alabama, also in
Weighed against clothing the president
with discretionary power to expand or
contract the army at VIII.
Mr.. GrOVesnor, of Ohio, in support or
the bill, said that personally he was in
favor of a standing army of 100000 men.
The people, he said, were not frighten-
ed when a dema goGue said that the pur-
pose of increasing tn army was to sta
lion large regiments near large cities to
Cypress labor. IL was a glorious tribute
TO our system that never had the pres
dent of the United States attempted to
abuse his power over the army. one of
the magnificent acts of Grover Cleve-
land had been his assumption of his
duty To keep the ~nace in great COM
monwealth by means of the United States
army when the governor of that state did
not want him to interfere.
1t was then arranged that general de-
bate should run for two hours on n
side and that then 80 bill should be
considered under the fiYe-minnfe rule
