FULL ARMY STRENGTH
VOTED IN SENATE
Committee Adds $7,565,ooo to Appropria-
tons as Asked BY Secretary
Garrison.

Washington, d. G., March 23.-The
Senate committee on military affairs
added $7,565,o0O to the appropriations
carried in the army bill as it passed
the House. The total of the appropria-
tions carried by the bill as it was re-
ported to the Senate late Saturday aft
ernoon was SOL, 1883
The increases were made on the rec
ommendation of Secretary Garrison and
are intended to bring the army up to
its full strength and efficiency The
Senate increased the appropriation for
the pay of enlisted men 81 ,22l 1853, for
airships $4,000, for officers OF the line
$50, 100, for hospital corps $47,2s and
for subsistence S662,475.
The committee authorized an appro-
priation of $4,000 for extension and
betterments OF the Washington Alaska
military cable telegraph system.
OF the total sum of 100000 available
for the purchase of airships $4,000 was
made available Immediately.
The committee authorized an increase
of $l30,s00 in the appropriation for the
Porto Rican regiments.
The bill authorizes the president, at
his discretion, to award suitable medals
to officers and enlisted men who have
participated in exceptional and notable
battles subsequent to 1860, or who may
hereafter take part in such engagements.
The president is authorized to designate
the battles upon the recommendation of
officers, to be approved by the secretary
of war.
The Senate committee struck from the
bill the proviso put in by the House as
follows:
"That hereafter any retired officer of
the army who shall act as, or be, the
representative, agent or employee of any
firm, company, corporation or individual
engaged in manufacturing for or selling
to the government any article or articles
either directly or indirectly, shall re-
ceive no part of the pay of retired Off
GER" I
The committed also struck out another
House proviso, which has attracted much
attention and comment; That no part
of the appropriation for horses for the
cavalry, artillery or engineers should be
expended ''for defraying expenses of Off
GERS, enlisted men or horses in attend
ing or taking part in horse shows"
If this had been retained it would
have prevented the appearance of army
horsemen at the New York and other
horse shows.

England and particularly those affecting
| the transportation lines were such that
| it seemed wiser to make settlement ii
| possible rather than face a general dis
solution suit with all of its qualifications
and uncertainties. New England needs
peace and chance for constructive work,
If that condition could be obtained by
an amicable adjustment, under which
ample time was allowed for the protec-
ton of the company's property, the di-
rectors felt that such adjustment would
be helpful to New England and to the
stockholders of the company.
"The directors feel that the time al
lowed with the right in the court to ex-
tend it upon application of the company,
or of the liquidators, gives an oppor-
tunity for disposing of the various props
critics, to the best advantage possible,
and with the least disturbance to gem
eral business conditions. The depart
ment was told of the great Importance
of ample time and of good trustees, and
met this view as to these two important
points. The financial conditions con-
fronting the company are most difficult,
but it is hoped that this adjustment
with the government increases the prob
ability of handling the matter success
fully and this very vital question will
be taken in hand by the directors at
once.
''The directors have felt that the dis
position OF these properties was trans
action of such Importance that the stock
holders must pass upon it, to which
the department has assented. A meet
ing will be called in the very near flu
ture for that purpose, Prior to that
meeting statement win be submitted
to each stakeholder outlining the situa-
ton. Business, particularly that OF
transportation in New England, needs
help and cooperation from the people,
governmental agencies, state and ma
tional, and the press, and chance to
go ahead. 1t is hoped that this adjust.
ment with the government viii prove to
be an important and desirable step in
that direction"

Never Travel in Italy Without Rope

In the April Womans Home Com
panion d contributor gives complete di-
irections for a two-weeks' trip in Italy
showing what it costs to visit eight
cities and how to take the trip comfort
ably. economically and most protitably.
The following extract explains why no
one should travel in Italy without "a
Irope.
Let me urge the tourist not to fail to
provide himself with stout rope,---a
piece OF clothes-line is excellent, with
which to tie up the trunk which is TO 90
into the Italian baggage car. If You do
not you miss many train connections. 1t
is trick of the eanny Italian baggage
master. When you 20 to check, or reg
ister', your trunk at the railway sta
| ton. this crafty robber will try to stick
his fingers under the lock or under the
staples at the sides. Then he will
shrug his shoulders and tell you blandly
that he cannot accept the trunk for reg
;stration, as it is not fastened securely
enough, aud if the baggageman stole
any of your effects, while enroute, the
railroad would be responsible. The
trunk must be tied with rope and seal
ed, he wiz tell you. You have no time
to 90 rope hunting. Iou have to buy
rope from him. He charges you what he
thinks he can make you pay. The price
depends on how many minutes you still
have to catch your train. Then he clips
on little wooden tag, where the rope is
knotted, and your trunk is officially
scaled. 1t is very serious offense to
break this seal.
Now. then, if your trunk is ropcd
when it reaches the hands of the boss
baegageman, he is required. at your re-
quest and upon payment of two cents,
to aftix the official seal So, as last
word, don't forget the rope"

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Lyman H. Howe's Pictures at the Barre
Opera House Friday.

When the average American reads
that the Panama canal is completed and
is now about ready for the formal open
ing to the worlds commerce, he still
wonders at the enormity of the task of
building it. No printed description can
tell the full story of the great construc.
ton. However, Lyman II. Howe will
present at the opera house on Friday,
March 27, an animated record of Uncle
Sans great achievement which will fully
enlighten every curious citizen. The
film reproduces every interesting phase
of the canal zone activity. Under the
masterful editing of the Howe organiza-
tion, the principal incidents Of nearly
10 years of Photographic vigil at the
Panama canal have been put into their
natural sequence and will be presented
with degree of realism and perfection
that is amazing. 1t required several
hundred kinds of apparatus to create the
mechanical effects which enliyen the
reproduction.
Mr.. Howe has many other attractive
features in his new program. There is
a striking contrast OF the scenic grand
