ABJtV BILL PASSED. Adopta tlit* Hull Mntiurt By Vote of IOH to l?S. A Washington special says: The bill to reorganize and increase the standing army to about 100,000 men, but giving tbe president authority to reduce the si/.o of infantry companies and cavalry troopR to sixty men each, thus fixing a minimum of about 50,000 enlisted men, passed the house Tuesday by a vote of 108 to 125. This was tbe result of a week of liurd ami ofteu picturesque lighting on the floor, Muring the progress of which the opposition compelled those in charge of the measure to give this iliseretianery authority to the president and to make other modifications, among which were a reduction of ;M1 in the number of stnfTotlieers. In consequence of these modifications the republican opposition practically vanished, and on the final vote but six republicans voted against the bill-?Messrs. Barber, of Maryland; Connolly, of Illinois; Loud, of California; Johnson, of Indiana; McEwen, of New Jersey, and Wadsworth, of New York. This republican defection was, however, almost offset by Hve members of the political opposition who voted in favor of the bill?Messrs. Berry, of Kentucky; McClelland, of New York; MoAleer, of Pennsylvania; Taylor, of Alabama, democrats, and Skinner, populist, of North Carolina. The gallarics were crow dedthroughoiit the day and every member w ho could possibly i?e heard was on the Hour to record his vote on the tinal toll call. The programme of the day included provision for two hours of general debate, which was to he occupied by Messrs. Dal/ell, of Pennsylvania, and Hopkins, of Illinois, in closing for the majority, and Messrs. Bailey, of Texas, and Settle, of Kentucky, for the opposition. But this programme was { smashed, owing to the failure to com- I plete the hill under the Hve-rainute ' rule before II o'clock, the hour set for J the vote. Among the important amendments adopted before the vote was taken was one to exclude the appointment of civiliai s to positions in the engineer corps, or.e to abolish canteens and the sale of liquor in camps and one to strike out the provision for additional j Indies," the Philippines 'Wdl' The amendment of Air.

Mr. Cummings said there was no question but that organized labor, through the American Federation of Labor and the Knights of Labor, had condemned this effort to increase the I standing army to 100,000 men.

T. t *1, ? m. i vnntcild iUV IVIUlVf iU iUl) OUli" I ate Monday the correspondence on tile j in the state department bearing upon the peace treaty, and it was read in executive session. The correspondence was sent in response to the resolution introduced by Senator Hoar ana included most of the letters nud cablegrams from the commissioners to the president and from the president to the commissioners in the way of instructions in return. The documents are numerous, as there were telegramB, letters and reports for almost every day the commission was in Paris. y One of the first cablegrams from the president instructed them to demaud the cession of Luzon island only of the Philippines aud he told them that full sovereignty should come with it. In submitting the papers the president sent a brief message saying that he transmitted them in accordance with the resolution. The reading consumed the entire execuiivt; sessiou, iHHiiug lrtuu z w> 5:30 o'clock. Much of the matter covered the same ground as that already published? but it was presented in the form in which the proceedings were outlined from day to day in the cable correspondence between Secretary Day as the president's representative on the one hand and Commissioner Day as the representative of the American commissioners on the other. The principal interest among the senators attached to the president's instructions to insist upon the cession of the island of Luzon, ami after that jn the decision to take the entire islands. This latter development ap .cu rrom me v..? .?^?..uence to he a growth, and the suggestion ?? ( made l?y the president as the result of occurrences at Paris alter the arrival there of the commissioners. In his dispatch concerning Luzon he said there was hut one alternative?the I'nited States must either take the island and assume sovereignty or return it to Spain, and of the two courses he preferred the former. Spain was from the first unwilling to cede any of the Philippines and she made objection to letting go of Luzon alone. The commissioners, with the exception of Senator dray, urged th<t to take Luzon and leave the other islands of the archipelago in the hands of the Spaniards would be to invite innumerable complications with other nations and especially with Europe and with Spain. Much stress was laid upon the ' probability of future trouble with Spain. With Luzon under American i.i i. uniiiiiiioiituiiMi, i iiri r wuum ?wuii it? such h vast improvement, they wrote, 1 that the other islanders would soon grow more and more rebellious, and > with Spain's oppressive methods of 1 government we would soon again tind that we had another Cuba at another 1 door. The president does not appear to have at any time given explicit in- 1 structions to consummate the bargain by taking all the Philippines but I rather after hearing a full explana- > tion to have left the matter to the (lis- ] cretion of the commissioners. i The entire controversy was practically over the Philippines and the ' question of assuming responsibility < for tho payment of the Spanish bonds 1 for which tho Cuban revenues were pledged. The American commissioners appear to have been of one mind as to the wisdom of taking over all the Philippines with tho exception of Senator ^ Cray, who, notwithstanding he signed j the treaty, held out to the last against ] tlie policy of accepting these islands. , l., ,1 i.~ ..1?1?1 -.. tn.^^aiv ii uu jnt'liucu j zealously against the policy as iin- , patriotic, un-American ami inconsistent with probity ami good statesman- ( ?hip , After a brief debate the senate re- , fused to print the correspondence M *K IN l,K Y\s POSITION KXI'LAINKI) Mull' 1-1.iml <>l l.ii/ >11 IIIh >1 ill ill!

A Washington special says: Senator Paeon forced the question of expansion on the senute Monday morning, and the friends of the treaty refused to meet it. He c died up his antiexpansion resolutions, saying he thought a vote would l>e taken on them, since the votes of a number of senators for the treaty depended on them. Senator Cliuiuller, in order to sidetrack Senator Bacon, along with his resolutions, moved that the resolutions he referred to the committee on foreign relations. This could have tested the strength of the expansionists, the main pnitit for which Senator Bacon was contending, and so the Georgian agreed to this if a yea and nay vote could he tnken on it. As soou as the leaders 011 the other side saw that the vote would be mnde a test vote on the treaty, Senator Carter got up and talked at random until he hud used up the morning hour, when the discussion came to a close. The importance of the debate was fully realized, as all thought a test vote on the treaty wns about to be taken. At the last moment the representatives of the administration weakened, which showed that they are still airam to let a vote conic on tne aimexpansion resolution. Senator Bacon believes that if a vote is taken on hit resolution they will pass it, and tin fight now will be to prevent a vott being reached until after the hour set, when a vote will be taken 011 tin treaty. At the opening of the session of tin house Monday, Mr. Hopkins, repuhli can, of Illinois, reported the census bill and gave notice that he would cal it up next Monday. The house tliei resumed the consideration of the arnn reorganization bill. The first amendment offered was that of which the committee had givei notice authorizing the president t( enlist only sixty men in a cavalry troop and sixty in an infantry com pauy. Mr. Marsh, republican, of llli nois, who offered the amendment, sait that this would reduce the enlistee force to 50,000 men if the presiden exercised the discretion it eonferrei upon him. Mr. Hay, democrat, of Virginia. ? the minority of the ? *? ?? "?oe, pro leaded *- house that it was impos sibfe to perfect a bill 011 the floor o the house. He would offer an amend ment, he said, to have the bill providi for only sixty men in au infantry com pany or a cavalry troop, but give tin nresident <1 isei-etimi tr? iiw?v.>nen !.. number to 145 and 100 respectively, this discretion, however, only to In exercised in time of war.

Next to her hair the Philippine girl prides herself on her feet. She Is not. like the poor Chinese women, forced to have them of diminutive proportions. but she is just as careful of them. She wears no stockings, but Illpases the feet In elaborately embroidered slippers without heels. Very few of the women in these Islnnds are well educated. Some, however. have been taught in the convents. hut their number is very small T.lie Philippine girl is very fond of mttsie and is generally aide to play both on the harp and guitar. The guitar is very popular and might be calloil the national instrument. For the purpose of assisting them in playing the girls allow the thumb nail of the right hand to grow very long. These girls are athletically inclined. Tlioy ride mul swim with srcnt dexterity. They are also very foml of dancing. In Manila, which is a very cosmopolitan city, many Mestizos, who are Creole girls ot' the Philippines, go Into the best society. One old time custom now prevails in the Philippines that will undoubtedly pass away with the beginning of the new American life ami rule. It is an old marriage custom, and obliges the lover to serve in the house of his intended bride's father for several mouths previous to the cerotnony. The marriage feasts usually last for several days. Then the bride, who lias often not seen more than fifteen summers, is led away to her husband's home, a house made of bamboo, probably built by his own hands. ^ The Brave Bull, the Cruel Spaniard.
