Hot Battle on Floor.

Washington, June 6.-Inauguration
of senate consideration of the 1855,
100000 army appropriation bill Mon
day brought from senators advocating
economy hot attack on the commit
tee recommendations for a minimum
army of 10000 men.
Economy advocates, led by Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, criticised
the personnel provision and indicated
their intention to wage a bitter fight
to reduce it. Senator Borah an
nounced he would move to limit the
army to 10000 men because / am
convinced that is the lowest attain
able under the circumstances"
Senator King, Democrat, Utah, how
ever, declared he would seek a reduc-
tion to 100000.

house provision for an average army
Of 10000 men was also strongly sup
ported.
Chairman Wadsworth declared that
inability to decrease army expendi-
tures was due largely to the unwill-
ingness of Newton d. Baker, while
secretary Of war, to reduce the size
of the army.
He presented figures of recent date
to show that the expense Of keeping
American troops on the Rhine had
amounted to 100000, Of which the
German government had paid $37 ,OOO,-
600. But Senator Borah interrupted
to say that the fact that Germany had
to pay the bill was no justification
for keeping American troops in Ger
many.
Another question that arose was the
reduction OF army outside the contin-
entail United States, Chairman Wads-
worth stating that only against his
best judgment would he consent to
