Changes In tho House Measmre


Changes In the House Measure.
Washington, Jan. 16.-with probable
oeficit threatening the treasury, the fate
of the war tax reduction bill is envel-
eyed in doubt. Unusually heavy ex-
Irrnditures and unforeseen exigencies OF
the government have combined to
change radically the sentiment for re-
cGction of the revenues.
: Altho Secretary Gage estimates sur
p:us of nearly $50. 100000 in receipts
over expenditures for the current fiscal
year, the additional burdens upon the
government promise to swallow up this
excess readily and leave the govern
rnent with deficit to contend with.
Members of the senate finance committe
in session today, say that under no cir
cumstances should action be taken
which will cripple the national finances.
The army reorganization bill Mcreas-
ing the standing army to minimum of
10000 the campaign In China and the
enactment Of bills carrying large APP
preparations all swell the burdens which

Reinforccmen,s for south Africa.

New York, Jan. 15.-There is good
deal of uncertainty as to the exact in
tentions of the government III regard to
tie question OF renforcements for South
Africa says the London correspondent Of
the Tribune. The announcement made so
positively by the Post that the enroll
ment of Baden Powells police force had
Eeen abandoned is officially contradicted.
Probably the Post was led into error
by the confusion of official plans, as it
is now stated that in addition to the
constabulary the war Office intends to
dispatch to the cape 5000 men to
strengthen the imperial yeomanry,
" hich. as fighting body, has been sc :
roiusly weakened. 1t is expected that
without counting the police recruits, a

fresh British troops In the field The

rate OF about 5000 month.
London. Jan. 15.-The government has
decided to send large reinforcements to
Lord Kitchener: and the war office. in
carrying out this decision, has deter
rn'ned to enlist 5000 yeomanry volun-
teers. AT meeting held at the war
Office last evening this plan and Others
for securing more men were discussed
end approved; and 1t is understood that
the government will in the course of a
Gay or two issue communique on the
subject.

way. This is the chief obstacle, because
il is academic in form and vague in ap-
lE.icatian, yet on parallel lines with the

emergency, if Lord Cromer were in
