THE ARMY BILL.

Plilipp.n. On~ti"n threshold Over At
Great Length by the senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-For five hours
the senate discussed the army reorgan.
ization bill. The debate took wide
range at times, but was confined prin-
cipally to the question Of the necessity
for the increase in the regular army
provided for i'll the pending measure.
The Philippine question was threshed
over at great length, but few really
new points were advanced. It was
urged by the supporters Of the army
bill that the situation in the Philip.
pines demanded the increase of the
army proposed. This was controverted
by the opposition senators who, while
they were willing in q general way to
provide for such temporary forces as
might be neediul, Were vigorously op.
posed to the creation Of standing
army OF 100, 900 men. -
One OF the snarpest colloquies Of the
session was between Mr.. Carter and
Mr.. Wellington Of Maryland, and in
the course Of it the Alaskan boundary
dispute was brought forward promi.
nently. the Maryland senator charging
that the president had relinquished
sovereignty over the territory, the title
to which he maintained was vested
clearly in the United States.

Of them are Of spangled lace and thin
silks and panne velvets-anything that is
dressy in ITSELF For these waists there
are some specially designed silks, such as
embroidered, printed warp and braided
taffetas, all in exquisite colors. Pure
white taffeta is made with a very high
luster, and there is no kind of fancy that
cannot be wrought with it and it's natu-
raj aids in the way Of trimming.
Velvets are so numerous in all the
qualifications that it would be impossible
to do them justice when one remembers
that there are over 100 different shades
and weights in the panne velours alone.
Colored silk velvet in all the seasons
best shades and black are the best, but
the panne relieve, the velouvs dicroique,
printed panne and the velours refet and
the yelours du nord are all in vogue and
much liked by those who prefer novelty
to durability. Many OF these last men,
toned goods are used to make blouse
waists. These arc as blousy as those
worn by Mrs. Cleveland while she was
the lady of the White House. and they
were described as the blousieSt blouses
that ever were made. Velutina comes
in for popularity and makes a better ap-
pearance than any Of the half silk varie
ties.
For general wear the mercerized skirts
are very fashionable and quite as useful.
The mercerization Of so many cotton
goods so that they look every whit as
we'll US silk and wear better than silk
for everyday has rcvolutionized the skirt
trade. and now no enc wears silk skirt
except with very Arc dress where the
wcarer expects to see her dearest enemy.

This is all in black, and yet it will not
be confined to the needs Of the middle

the only thing being that for the young
1t will be for day wear, while for the
older ones It is considered better form for
evening attire, and indeed when it is
made up in all the magnifcence Of the
present day, with pounds Of fine cut jet
beads and yards Of thread lace and many
other things too numerous to mention, it
is q magnificent affair. The younger wo-
man has her skirt made plain and ex-
ceedingly stylish, and with it she wears
a separate waist of some kind, generally
of thin taffetas, with lots Of work to
make it costly; then belt of some
sort Of metal or perhaps a ribbon twisted
along the lower part. This for finish.
The figaro is seen on these so often that
one forgets to mention it unless it is in
some way remarkable.
Fol the young lady no trimming is con-
sidered suitable, but the greatest care is
expended in having it so perfect that it
might have grown so. I said that the
black silk skirts for young women are
