committee are $4,000 for contingencies OF
the army, S12,S6O for the nurse corps.
$780, for transportation OF the army
and its supplies on account Of maneuvers,
$4,000 for shooting galleries and ranges,

mended decrease OF $4,000 provided by

Senate committee is very favorable to
the war games which have been held
In recent years.

NEW YORK TO CAUCUS
WILL CONSIDER SUPPORT OF
PRESIDENTS POLICIES.
Fight on Rules Committee Causes
Concern to Party Leaders.
Wary of Insurgents.

A caucus OF the republican members
of the New York delegation in Congress
was called today for , o'clock tomorrow
afternoon to discuss the attitude of the
delegation in the matter of supporting
the Presidents policies and of the con
gressional situation generally.
The republicans of the House arc i'm
great stew over the threatened insurgcnt
raid on the committee on rules Some
of the insurgents are afraid to go into
caucus on the proposition, fearing that
the regulars might "tie them up" with
party rules. They favor I, bold dash in
the House some day. with the aid of the
democrats, and putting across an
amendment to some pending proposition
which will put it in the power Of the
democrats and insurgents to name the
proposed larger committee and discard
the Speaker.
Hayes Has a Plan.
Representative Hayes has a plan
which is not so sanguinary, and which
he will try to work out by a petition.
His idea is to get 10 republican sigma
lures, If possible, to a call for a caucus
which will increase the committee on
rules to eleven members, retaining the
Speaker on the committee, and the en-
tire committee to be chosen by the
caucus He wants a majority for his
plan assured before he goes into eau
Gus with it.
The near-insurgents. those who would
like to be able to make showing
against "Cannonism." whatever the in
depreciation of their constituents OF
that term may be, are hanging in the
wind on a proposition which they real
ize, is loaded with dynamite for the
Taft administration and the regular
procedure of business.
Fear the Combination.
But these near-insurgents don't relish
the idea of opening up Il situation which
might place in the hands Of a few rad-
cal insurgents and the united democracy
the control of the House. They would
like to go into caucus and talk it over.
but are not certain they can get the
radicals to go in. The latter are Inclined
to shy at the words party caucus like
a yearling colt at white stump in the
road.
So all today there has been great
palavering and a powwow among the
clans. with some of the wary elder states
men admonishng the hot-headS to be
,:aruIul .es. lney gum up the cards
for the party, and especially for the ad
mi 1istration's program of legislation.
which they declare, is the main thing
at sake, after all.
