The national house of representatives

Chairman Hull of the military affairs
committee expects to call up the army
appropriation bill Tuesday. He estl-
mates that it will be Thursday or even
Friday before the measure is nnaliy
disposed of.
To Encourage Workmanship
The general debate on the bill will
occupy Tuesday and at least part OF
Wednesday. Procedure under the f1Ve-
minute rule will not be curtailed and
a day or more will be consumed IN
scrutinizing the details of the bill under
this order.
The provision of the bill abolishing
the grade of lieutenant general or the
army will be the text of a number OF
speeches. The provision is new legis-
lation," and consequently suoJect 10 a
point Of order. The making OF point
OF order is within the province of any
member and the provision may go out
Of the bill in this manner. To en-
courage Workmanship in the army the
committee has inserted a provision III
the bill creating three grades of ex-
perts, and providing for increased pay
for each grade. The first grade carries
with 1t added pay of 81 month, the
second grade 81 and the third 50.

1t Is estimated that the aggregate
increase in expenditure under this pro-
vision will amount to $4,000 year
The benefit to the army by encourage

than compensatory, and while the pro-
vision is, like that abolishing the grade
of lieutenant general, subject to point
of order, the military committee has a
belief that the provision will remain IN
the bill.
A provision for Joint army and
militia maneuvers is another topic pro-
life OF discussion. There is an aggre-
gate of 100000 carried In the measure
for this purpose. The plan is to have
the maneuvers held in many sections
OF the country. Regular army troops
are TO be marched from their regular
posts to the sites selected for the
maneuvers and militia within con-
venient location will be asked TO par
ticipate. In this way general benefit
is expected to be spread throughout
both organizations. The bill contains

Watching Statehood Bill

All interest centers in Senator For
aker's provision giving both territories
an opportunity to vote separately on
the question of joint statehood for
New Mexico and Arizona, and it is not
at all improbable that that point may
be quite suddenly reached.
The acceptance of the amendment
would not have the effect of bringing
the discussion of the measure to a
close, because there are other questions
on which the senate is divided, but it
would materially curtail it and in the
end insure the passage of the bill.
Senator Beveridge expresses conf
dence that the bill will not be amended
in any respect by the senate. The
opponents of the bill concede the close
ness of the division and feel that their
chances are all in the Foraker amend
ment.

Among the
Railways
Improve Pullman Service

The Pullman company has been max
ing some changes in its service in
Mexico. A large reduction in the price
of food sold has been made, which is
about one-third less than the old rates,
and is somewhat less than the rates
charged in the United States. The
company has installed grill rooms in
the cars.
Artificial Ice Cest
Different railroad officials are watch
ing with interest the operation of the
Santa Fe icing plants. Artificial ice
has been found to be more efficient
for packing refrigerator cars because
of the uniformity in size and quality,
and during the last few years 1t has
been used almost altogether. Many
other railroads will soon contract for
the building of their own icing plants
In the east.

Ten years ago the Burlington had

of such cars and about fifty Of them

during the present season any great
scarcity of cars in Southern California
Last year 10000 cars of oranges were
shipped from the orange growing dis

Isham Randolph, chief engineer Of

The use Of water for power purposes,

The Canadians object.

partment OF railways and canals. ex.
pressed the opinion that the water in
the Welland canal would be lowered
from four to seven inches, which
would prove disastrous. I'VE nave

President Livingstone of the Lake
Carriers association said he believes
in giving Chicago all the water neces

believe the water of the great lakes
should be diverted in order that a ship
canal might be constructed to the
Mississippi river, thus destroying the
