VIGOROUS sCHEMING AMONG
PROMOTERS OF BILLS.
FIGHT WARMEST IN HOUSE
Burton and Hopkins May Contest
to Gain Priority Of
Consideration.

Washington, Jan. 2-The general
expectation among the senators is
that the first few days Of the time of
the senate on reconvening tomorrow
will be devoted to consideration OF
the army reorganization bill, but there
is some disposition to make an ar
1angement for a division of time that
will permit of the continued presenta-
ton of the ship subsidy bill during a
part of each day.
When the committee on order of
business representing the republican
side of the senate made the subsidy
bill the regular order of business at
the beginning of the present session
there was All understanding that when
the army bill should be presented for
consideration the other measure should
be laid aside temporarily, if con-
sidered necessary in order to secure
prompt passage of the army bill.
There is apparently a disposition on
the part Of some senators partially to
disregard this agreement and the
friends Of the subsidy bill, most Of
whom are also supporters Of the army
bill, are trying to secure an under
standing for confinement Of discussion
Of the army bill to the morning hour
of the senate's daily proceedings, CIV
ing time each day after 2 O'Clock to
the subsidy bill.
The house probably will dispose
of the reapportionment bill this week,
although Chairman Burton Of the

The reapportionment bill, carrying
out as it does a constitutional require
ment, is a matter of higher privilege
than the appropriation bill and if
Chairman Hopkins insists it probably
will be given Miority. Hopkins,
however, may yield if he finds that
any large proportion of the members
will not return from their holiday
vacation in time to vote upon the
measure this week.
4 very determined fight will bt
made against the bill by members
from states which lose representatives
under it, and Hopkins desires the full
house when the vote is taken. He il
confident chat his measure will carr,
with a full attendance. In any event
neither Hopkins nor Burton desires t.

tomorrow probably will be brief ant

ROOT IS SUSTAINED
President Deems 1t Inadvisable to
Make Iawshe Report
Public.


Washington, Jan. 2-Secretary Root
was asked today if the Lawshe report
on the Cuban frauds would be sent to
the senate in compliance with the res
olution. He would not answer the
question directly, but intimated very
strongly that the president had sus-
tanned his views of the matter and
that it was deemed inadvisable at this
stage. of the criminal prosecutions re-
sulting from Lawshe's Investigations
to make public the data upon which
they are based.
The secretary said he had talked
!, with several senators on the subject
and they understood that compliance
with the terms of the resolution was
lnexpedient at this time. He did not
regard the matter as of much import
ance and had no idea that it would be
made an issue between the senate and
the war department. Che course
usually followed in such cases would
be adopted in this matter and il
would be allowed to drop from con
sideration for the present.
