eral debate on the measifre should be lin
tied to ten hours, one-half of the time to

the ranking minority member of the sub

This Is the last of the general appro-
priation bills to provide for the expense
of the government for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1 next" said Mr.. Hemenway.
1T attracts more interest from the menu

large than does any one Of the twelve
that 1t provides in great or small degree
for every one of the many branches of the
public service, and in particular for the
many civic public works authorized by
Congress and in progress in every state OF
the Union"
This is the result worked out by the
committee in the preparation of this bill,
namely, reduction under the estimates
submitted of 7,147 1909, and of $2s,915,-
2oS.99 under the last appropriation for the
last fiscal year, which must be gratifying
to the House, and will, am sure, meet the
approval of the country.
This large reduction is made and is
proper, notwithstanding the bill carries
every dollar that Is required for each pub
tic building now authorized and in the
course of construction and the exact
amount stated to be necessary by the en-
gineer department for all river and harbor
improvements in progress under the con-
tract system.
THE sum total of all the annual supply

as reported to the House by the committee
charged with their preparation, is $685.

NEW YORK, March GA cablegram
from London says: AS the magnitude OF
the military operations in the far. east be-
come more obvious conviction gains ground
in London and Paris that Russ!a's policy
of acting on the defensive in Manchuria
will finally induce Japan to be content with
a defensive attitude in Korea, and that the
upshot of the war will be compromise,
leaving the combatants relatively In pos
sessions they now hold
1T is folly to predict the outcome"
says an intelligent commentator, but
stranger things have happened than that
Russia and Japan, after years of financial
strain necessary to support their huge
ornaments on land and sea, should agree to
conditions not widely differing from those
defined in abortive negotiations of October.
At all events diplomacy Is inclined to think
such an ending more probable than that
Japan will drive Russia out OF Manchuria
or Russia quarter her armies in the en-
virons of Tokyo"

MILITARY ATHLETICS.
Proposed Control by the Y. M. c. A.
To Re Discussed

A hearing will be held in Secretary Taft's
office at the War Department Monday to
hear arguments for and against the project
of placing military athletics in charge of
the Young Mems Christian Association.
Secretary Taft, who has the matter under
consideration, is in favor of the project,
but 1t is strongly objected to by the chap
lains, who point out that 1t would be I'M
wise to the extent of introducing civilian
influences in the military service and would
deprive the chaplains of an opportunity to
control the soldiers by such diversions as
the gymnasium and field sports. Chaplain
Pierce of the army and representatives of
the Y. M. c. A. will attend the hearing.
