PRESIDENT’S PET SCHEME IS FAVORED Draft of Hill ll.ift A'.ivacly lJflcn l*rf?fHret ly ClmiMiiMii II nil Kuitiiidi - in i; rhui-. A Washington special snys; The house committee on mi ltnry affairs Tuesday met for the purpose of con sidering the new army bill. The bus iness was nosly of u } reliminary character, the discussion being quite general on army affairs. Tbo Repub lican members of the committee appa rently ere in favor of giving Ihe presi dent such an army as he may require. The draft of a bill already prepared by Chairman Hull will bo the basis of the measure which the committee will consider. This will provide for an army of the maximum strength of 100,000 men, with a minimum of 50,- 000, and general officers at the rate of one brigadier general for each 4,000 men, with major generals in propor tion. Chairman Hull states that there w ill be but one bill prepared and if any staff changes are contemplated they will be incorporated in that measure. The members of the committee will confer with Secretary Root iu a day or two. Tuesday afternoon they went over the bill which has been known as the war department bill, drawn on lines suggested and approved by Sec retary Root. The secretary expects to give further consideration to the bill and then will send it to members of the committee. The war depaitme it hill provides for 9(1,000 men aud a minimum of 58.- 000, with thirty regiments of infantry, fifteen regiments of cavalry and a gradual increase of the artillery, so that at the end of five years there will be 18,000 men. The artillery is not to be organized into regiments, but as batteries aud field artillery. With the maximum armv there are to be 150 men to each infantry company, mak ing 1,830 men to a regiment. The maximum of a cavalty troop is to be 100 men. There is no provision for a lieuten ant general in the war department bill, but under the present law the senior general commanding will have the rank of lieutenant general. The war department bill does not give the same iucrease of major generals and briga dier generals as the house hill. The detailed staff’ provisions are an important feature of the measure. It provides that hereafter vacancies in the staff', excej ting the medical corps, pay corps and engineers, shall be tilled by details from the liue, such officers being subject to line duty at any time. This is the same as the Hull bill of the last congress aud is earnest ly favored by Secretary Root. The war department bill provides that the promotions shall he made from the regular army according to the present rank down and including the rank of captain. a borm.i: i>i T Kii.

United Slates Senator Cushman Kel logg Davis, chairman of the committee ou foreign relations, of the senate,died j at his home in St. Paul, Minn., Tues day night after an illness of two months. Ho had suffered greatly during his sicknei-s aud gradually sank away, being unconscious for several hours before death, and so far ns known, suffering uo pain. After his return from the Maine campaign in September, Senator Davis was troubled by twinges of pain in one of lus feet, to which he paid lit tle attention, thinking it due to some neuralgic condition which would soon pass. He began an active campaign in Minnesota, speaking in Duluth September 21st aud at Alexandria, Mum, September 25th. During the latter speech he suffered so greatly that lie coubl not wear his shoe. He returned home at once and was order ed to bed by his physician. It was at first believed the case was ( ne of blood poisoning, caused by in fection, through a slight abrasion on his foot, trom the dye of a black silk stocking, and surgical operations drew off' the accumulation of pus. On No vember 11th kidney trouble became apparent, both nephritis aud diabetes, complicating the case and making his condition more critical. On November 18th the senator be gan to be subject to delirious spell*, lu his delirium he raved of bis con gressional work. He would declare in vigorous phrases fragments of the na tion’s foreign policy. There was, of course, no coherence—asenteuce about the Philippines would be followed by a comment upon the Monroe doctrine, or a suggestion of an impending war with Spain. Rut always,in his diseased mind, lii.s patriotic and official duties were with him. His career a** a constitutional law yer, governor of Minnesota, st.-De leg islator and United States senator was a brilliant one. President McKinley made him one of the peace commissioners to Paris to treat with Spain, and lie discharged his duties with honor to- his country aud himself. He was chairman of the foreign relations committee of the sen ate and the most influential member of that body. <;i oiuai’s son>m:v homi: Tit#* Subject of Kavort*l#* Keporl by TiOj;* U!nhv# ('mnmiUof on Appropriation*.
