WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-While the SEN
ate was in session for more than three
hours to-day. little in the way Of impor-
Iant legislation was accomplished. The
committee amendments TO the army reor-
EaniZation bill, to which no objection had
been raised, We're agreed to, but none Of
the contested amendments were consider
ed. Dilatory tactics We're employed by
Mr. Pettigrew. of South Dakota, TO pre-
vent the progress OF the bin.
When the section of the army bin was
reached providing for the appointment OF
volunteer officers TO be officers in the reg
ular army. an extended discussion ensued.

officers in the volunteer army who We're
clearly entitled. as gentlemen and Off

ing committees. are to-day disGracing

AN EXCLUSIVE BILL.
The committee amendment providing
that volunteer officers might be appointed
TO second lieutenantcies was disagreed

that volunteer officers might be appointed
TO the grade OF first lieutenant.
Commenting upon this part of the bill
Mr.. Daniel. OF Virginia. declared that he

brightest and best military spirits of the
country. This is the most proscriplive bill

Mr.. Daniel declared sarcastically that

week which attracted wide attention adj

The paper in question points out that

The extension of the Wells circuit has
naturally tended to elevate the already
high class lines of attractions that are
offered and that are to be offered at the
Bijou. With circuit embracing theatres
in three of the leading cities in the
South, Manager Wells can secure attrac-
tions that could not be gotten under the
former arrangement. All attractions that
play at the Bljou are, therefore, in the
highest class, and the standard set by
Manager Wells on the start, to give the
very best he could under all the crcum-
stances, is being maintained, and by
keeping faith with the public he and his
associate Resident Manager Mckee are
reaping the benefit that comes to those
who perform their services faithfully.
