AGREE on ARMY BILL.
Peace Strength of 100000 viii Be
Reported to Congress.

WASHINGTON, May ia regular
army Of 10000 men at peace strength cap
able of expansion to 254.000 men in time
of war was agreed uDon today by the house
and senate conferred of the army rcorgan-
ization bill, The report will be submitted
to both branches of congress for ratihca-
tion next week
In the agreement on the regular
army bill the senate system of organi-
zation was retained as a substitute
for the house system which would
have recruited a maximum army Of
10000 men. The regular line of the
army, the bill now provides, can never
go below 100000 and its maximum
strength in times OF peace would be
l75,o00 officers and men. In this cal
culation, however, there are excluded
Philippine scouts and others to a~total
of 1869. These added to the regular
line of 175,0o0 give a total of 206,659.
The President is authorized to in
crease the regular army division to

Of New Mexican National Guard
Completed Today.

WASHINGTON. May l3.-Thc despatch
of 1900 Carranza troops northwest toward
the border in the Big Bend district OF Goa
hula, reported in adviccs from the inter
national line, was regarded by officials here
today as possibly Indicating that the Nexi-
can de facto government is making re
newed efforts to capture bandits who have
raided American border towns
Reports that the expedition might have
a hostile purpose were not regarded Sc
rlously by administration authorities They
intimated that the action tended to
strengthen their belief that the American
and Mexican military authorities at FL
Paso had reached an uuwritten agreement
on cooperation along the border to pre-
vent further bandit raids
The Mexican situation showed no signs
of immediate change here today. Prcs-
dent Wilson was cruising down the Chos-
apcake bay on the yacht MayHoycr and
did not expect to return before Sunday
or Monday. Secretary Baker had taken
weekend trip to Atlantic City and New
ark, n j. Gen. Hugh L. Scott. chief Of

WILSON AND T. r. AHEAD.
Result of Primary in New Jersey
Shows This Situation.

TRENTON, y. J., May IA can
vass of the vote cast at the preferen-
tial primaries held here on April %
shows that Woodrow Wilson and
Theodore Roosevelt led in the choices
for President, as announced by Secre-
tary of State Thomas F. Martin today.
In addition to expressing a choice for
President votes were cast for dele
gates at large and district delegates
to both the Republican and Democratic
conventions.
Although the Democrats filed n peti-
tion nominating Woodrow Wilson for
the Presidency, the Republicans neg
leeted to take advantage of the law
in this respect and in some instances
opportunity was not given to the vot-
ers of that party to express their pref
erence.
In the Democratic primaries Presi-
dent Wilson received 25,4O7 votes. The
vote for Presidential preference on the
Republican ballot was more or less
scattering. The Republican choice for
President was as follows: Theodore
Roosevelt, ,066; Justice Hughes. 3S3;
Heary Ford, 81, and Elihu Root, 81.
