SENATOR BAILEY
 OBJECTS TO BILL

Washington, June 20.-Frankly admit ting his determination to filibuster, Sen- ator Bailey today entered upon cru sade against the bill increasing the en- gineer corps of the army. When Sem ator Warner asked unanimous consent to take up the bill the Texas senator objected and when the measure was taken up by an aye and no vote, he took the floor and began a speech which he promised should continue as long as would be necessary to prevent the passage of the bill.
 T intend to prevent this bill going through and Hwill filibuster if necessary to accomplish that result. I intend to resist with all the power and endur- ance I possess
 Senator Baileys objection was due to his view that the board of engineers should be so restricted as to confine its labors to engineering questions He as serted that the board had defeated a river improvement project In Texas in connection with the recent river and har- bor bill on the ground that the com mercial conditions did not justify th, undertaking. He declared that it was entirely outside the province of the board and he contended that if the engineers would confine their services to those legitimately pertaining to their offices there would be no necessity for increases.

 KITCHENER'S PLACE

 London, June 20.-Gen Sir Ian Hamilton, adjutant to the forces, has been appoint ed to} the post of inspector general or the Mediterranean forces, to succeed Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, whose res- ignation was communicated officially to the house of commons by War Secretary Haldane on June 1S.
 Lord Kitchener was appointed to the Mediterranean command last August to succeed the Duke of Connaught.
 There was strong agitation to have Kitchener appointed to more weighty place, and many protests against sending the best organizer in the British army to such a remote post were made
 Lord Kitchener's resignation, therefore, oocasioned no surprise. General Hamil- ton is second military member of the army council
 He was chief of staff to Lord Kitchener in 1901-2 In South Africa, and was one Of the defenders of Ladysmith in the Boer war. He served as military representa- tive in India and with the Japanese army in Manchuria in 1904-5.

CLOSES MONDAY.
Ranks snd Business Houses Observe
Christmas Holidays.

The fact that both Christmas and
New Years fall on Sunday this
year viii not result in the employees
of the various business institutions
Abilene losing two Of their accus-
bmed holidays. All business houses
usually follow in the steps Of the
banks and postoffice, And as the
banks agreed sometime ago that
when Christmas and New Years fell
On d Sunday that they would remain
closed the following Monday, there
is hut little doubt but that few per-
sons will not have their usual holi-
days.
County officials said this morning
that If the banks closed the court
house would be closed. All the dry
goods and clothing stores will close
and It is likely that all the grocery
stores win be closed at least a part
Of both days.
