Agreement Reached by Con-
ferees on Army Appro-
priations.

That the present cavalry strength Of
the United States be maintained and not
reduced by five regiments as proposed
by the House is the agreement reached
by the conferees on the army appropria-
ton bill. The conferees have had sew
eral long sessions in an effort to reach
an agreement or compromise on the
many questions of difference between the
two houses, especially over it's legislative
provisions, and they have adopted re-
port to be submitted to both houses of
Congress Monday.
AS the bill passed the House 1t pro-
posed many changes in the army organi-
zation. but the Senate. knocked out many
of the proposals.
The House, for instance, proposed to
increase the enlistment period to five
years; the Senate desired to maintain the
present period of three years. 1t is un-
derstood that there has been a COM
promise, making the enlistment period
four years.
Upon the proposal of the House for the
abandonment of about twenty forts which
have small garrisons the conferees strug-
gled long. This was one of the pet
economy plans of the House, and its con-
ferees were insistent upon the plan. A

The army engineers do not feel author
lied to expend the money appropriated by
Congress for the permanent improvement
of the levee system except in restoring
the broken levees on the line of the orig
inal embankments.
1t is believed here that this is the
explanation of the reported suspension
of work on the Hymelia crevasse,
the Mississippi river commission
probably looking to the planters to
construct this temporary work at their
own expense. That plan was followed
in the case Of the famous crevasse of
1903 at the same point. The planters
temporary loop levee did not complete
ly stop the flow Of water, but so re-
strained it that 1T could be for the
most part carried off into the interior
lakes by the natural water courses
thus reducing the damage from $780,
