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. Cuinm:ugs,
j of New York, to prohibit the use of
troops in the several states to suppress
riots, etc., except upon the application
of the states, was defeated hy a large
majority.
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. There '
was no question that the reason for j
their iietinn ii-nu the font, ?!...?
standing army must ho used uncon- j
stitutionally to oppress them.

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. ,

It appears that an erroneous impression
has gone abroad respecting
the American pence coininissioners in
Paris touching the* limitations of the '
claims to be nut forwar<l so far as the 1
Philippines were concerned to the is 1
land of Luzon. f
As a matter of fact, so far from
making that island the maximum claim *
f tin- \meiicans, the president's in-timet
urn actually placed that island
is the minimum claim to be ket out. *
I'he language was "nothing it s's than "

EXPANSIONISTS BLUFFED.
Senator Huron Force. Inaue ami Treaty*.
Frit tut. I>u?lne?l.
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
