Under this federal law the state can

AMENDMEET TO ARMY ApS-C
PRIATiON BILL INTRODUCED
IN TIE HOUSE.
MEASURE APPLIES TO THOSE Ac-
SIGNED TO DUTY WITH THE
STATE MILITIA.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE appoint
ment of Lieutenant General Nelson A.
Miles as inspector general of the state
of Massachusetts overshadoved al
other questions in the discussion OF
the army appropriation bill in the
house Wednesday. The debate hai
proceeded leisurely until Mr.. Hull, in
charge of the bill, offered an amend.
ment providing that retired officers
above the grade of major should not
receive the full pay of their grade
when assigned to duty with the militia
OF the several states. Several mem
bers declared that the amendment was
directed especially at General Miles,
But Mr.. Hull insisted that he had no
such thought in mind and argued that
the best results were obtained from
officers of the lower grades. He as
serted that not until the law was
passed allowing increased pay for Off
GERS assigned to the militia did re-
tired officers of the higher grades ap-
ply for the appointments. He said it
was such increased pay and not pat
riotism which prompted them and he
characterized their conduct as I'M
seemly. This statement reused Mr..
Cochran of New York, who declared
that it was simply penalizing superior
officers to- the advantage and profit Of
inferior officers. After a lively de-
bate, the. amendment was adopted.
Several members severely criticised
army ard navy expenditures and Mr.
Prince called attention to the large
retired list. which included 236 briga-
der generals, who, he said, could not
have been retired by operation of
law, though he disclaimed any inten-
ton of charging any maladministra-
ton Of tie law. 2-
Consideration OF the army bill was
not concluded when the house ad-
jonrned for the day. -

Jake Sanders makes his debut at

anywhere near to his true eastern form
he will probably win the fourth race,

If we'll handled will give n good ac-
count Of himself. Druid hardly likes n

Killdoe beat almost the same horses
in the last steeplechase race and should
win again. barring accident Flea will
probably be the runner up, with Caza-
dor and Decimo pressing him closely at
the end Atlantico has been schooling
well.
The second race selling affair at
five and q half furlongs for 2-year-olds,
should go to Loyal Front. He should
have won his last start as he was in
terfered with and had to go all around
his field.
Hector ran some good races in the
east. AS she is going well In her morn
ing trials she should beat FoXhall for
second honors. Secret, the English
bred horse, may be better than he has
shown and may be a surprise party.
The gray ghost, Don Domo, should
come home in the third race, as he has
only an ordinary lot to beat Revolt
on her last race should be an easy Sec
ond and has Beautiful and Best to beat
The latter will probably not start. If
he does he should be hard to beat for
the short end of the purse. Lustig
likes a longer distance. Ell Donoso
wants muddy trask.
Henchman, j. f. Donohue and AS
traea look to have the fifth race be-
tween themselves and unless some dark
one is uncovered they should finish in
the order named. Chantilly was heavily
backed in her last race, and DR.. Nc
Carty has worked well, so if any upset
does come off il might be from one of
these two.
No track records will be smashed in
the sixth race, as an ordinary lot oil

has shown good form in both of her
starts amongst better horses that she
looks to have a shade the best of it on
form.

Old Campaigners In
Homestead and Hoodwink will meet
in the sixth race today at a mile and
fifty yards. Neither is good enough
to ever be in front, but the fact that
they will race will give an additional
interest to the event.
IT is POSSIBLE that Johnny Bullma,1 4

today, and if he does, the shaking

he is attacked by the slows will be

If Bullman rides him, Homestead

Golden Light is improving. and on
her performance against Hoodwink
last Monday is entitled to the call,
and should have but little difficulty in

Kinsman looks good for the con-

better than the Others. With Kunz up,
Kinsman will give the winner an ar
