on strike and twice winning al
though each time the "victory" was
somewhat of a compromise, the em

The army bills conflict In the
House and Senate. The former is
expected to pass what is known as
the Hay army bill which provides
(or one hundred and forty thousand

the Chamberlain bill which provides
for 254,000 regular soldiers in the
United States army.
The administration is said rather
to favor the Chamberlain bill, but
In any event the matter Is certain
to be compromised.
The reduction In the designs ot
the preparatlonists from their origi
nal ambitious details is very remark

on the whole the nation is not pre
pared to go the limit militarlstlcally
as yet.

be on the Navy Bill which Is sche
duled for extensive pruning in the
Souse.
The Mexican crisis will occupy the j
ittentlon of Congress during the
