war regarding the number of enlisted
men which should be provided for the
army. The secertary insisted that he
could not operate with less than 175,000.
The house reduced that estimate
to 150,000 men, and sent the
bill to the senate. Already the secretary
has informed the members of
j the senate committee on military af
j fairs that he must have 175,000 men
to maintain the army at a decent proportion
even in time of peace. He j
contends that with 150,000 lie would !
have a force of only 70.000 effective;
fighting men.
There is very little doubt but that
the senate will act in accordance with
I the request of the secretary. There !
1
J will be a very warm debate in con- j
! ference. But inasmuch as the presi- I
j dent, no doubt, stands behind the;
j secretary, the house, it is predicted. 1
I will yield, although that yielding
| might not result before the problem
J is again earriod t<? tlm floor for a
| record vote. The administration is
j exceedingly powerful at all times, esI
peoially when the patronage season |
' is at its height.
[ There is sharp difference of opinion I
among the people as to the proper
size the army should assume, or how
nearly equal in strength with England
should this oountrv be in respect
to its navy. Evidence of the
I difference is daily put before the
j members of the house and senate.

Ninety per cent, of the money ap- j
propriated by the government in the j
last 10 years?and thus 00 per cent. I
of taxation it is explained?was for
purposes of war. real and anticipated.
This fact gives congress pause, but j
does not check it entirely. It can -1
| not agree on the extent to which disarmament
and disbandment might be
carried with safety.
And in the meanwhile the government
must raise $17,000,000,000 with
which to pay its debts within the next
30 months, according to Secretary
T
Weeks.

STORY OF DRINK

Washington. May 16.?The ex-|

cines and perfumes, in protesting:
against added restrictions which they
i claimed would interfere seriously
with their business were outspoken
t in opposition to medical beer and the
1 sale of concoctions masquerading as
5 medicine but actually used as bevI
erages. The story of the man who
became drunk after drinking hair
tonic. Jamaica ginger and similar
