WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-It was expec-
ted that the senate would have passed
the army reorganization bill before
this, but the debate On the "Canteen"
and other amendments has been more
prolonged than there was the slight
est necessity for, but the debate
has in the main been legitimate. al
though Senator Pettigrew and one or
two other opponents of the bill have
made use of it for the purpose of delay,
and the friends of the bill have moi felt
called upon to try to close it. 1t is GER
tain that the bill will pass, whether the
vote be taken today, tomorrow or next
week, aud with that the friends OF the
bill are utilizing all their patience to
make themselves as contented as possi-
Bile, although it is well known that every
day of delay adds to the embarrassment
OF the war department. The senate can
leg;slate quickly when so disposed, but

iting its methods has yet become known.
