is now necessary, if their conquest Is
to be completed, to continue the
army on a war footing possibly for
an indefinite period. Provision has
already been made for the education
of larger number of officers at
West Point, thus indicating that the
administration has no expectation of
ever reducing the army to 25,0CO,
which was the total before the Span
ish war.
There will be a bitter fight over
the new apportionment, if any At
tempt is made to reduce southern
representation on the plea that the
negroes have been disfranchised.
Fortunately, it is extremely difficult
to frame a law that will hit the
South, without also injuring north
ern States ike Massachusetts,,
which disfranchises all illlterateS.
Probably, if it is resolved to attempt
to pass such a law, the whole matter
will be postponed until the next Con-
gress, as the new apportionment will
not be used until the election of
1902, though it is desirable to adopt
it as soon as possible, so that the va
rious legislatures may redistrict their
territory in accordance with possible
changes in the number of their rep

Interesting Capital rIention.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The COM
Ing session of Congress will be in
many respects an exciting one. 1t
will be short one, expiring by limi-
tation on March + next, but Will be
crammed full of incident. Three
important measures will be taken up
the ship subsidy steal, the army
increase bill and the new Congress
sional re-appOrtionment. The first
named is undoubtedly one of the
most shameless raids upon the treas
ury attempted since the bonanza of
the salary grab and the Credit Mo
bilier, thirty years ago. That bill,
when enacted, will be heavy drain
upon the treasury for years to come
and will furnish the opportunity for
another gigantic trust to control
shipbuilding and ocean transporta-
ton. 1t will for years stand as one
of the obstacles in the way of any
reduction of taxation, and after it is
firmly established its repeal will be
declared impossible on account of
impairment of s'invested interests. "
1t is likely that nothing will stand in
the way of the enactment of the bill
at this session. 1t was introduced
last winter, but was allowed to 60
over on account of the election.
The arraut bad faith of the Re-
publican administration is sbQwR, by
the fact that while the votes were
being cast an order was being pre-
pared in the War Department re-
voking all orders for the return of

This, it was frankly declared was to
be issued no matter which side should
win, and it has now been issued. In
other words, it was practically con-
fessed that all the talk about retiring
the volunteers because the war was
over was merely prediction CUFF, in
tended to fool the voters and not to be
carried out. While~it is not stated
when the instructions to begin the
transportation of volunteers home
will be renewed, it is expected that
under present arrangements the en-
tire force will remain on duty in the
Philippines until February or March,
and meantime it is the understand
ing of War Department officials that
the coming session of Congress will
adopt some law for the increase of
the army, so that it may not be nee
esSary to return the entire force.
This must be done this winter as the
army will be reduced by existing
law to about 27,O0O,OOO on July /

passing the law, was that the con-
