It Is hardly probable that there Is touch
foundation for the report that there Is
danger that the army bill will not la*
fiufil |y the Hstiate. It passeil the
House so promptly and had u h hearty
support from the Ibpublhan members
that It loc* not M*em r a outibh* that
there is strong ojquMrttion to it among lie
publican senator*.

Gen. M.u Arthur would like lie cannot
begin to cover th* Immense • ountry over
which the Insurrection has spread.
One of the rumors respecting the army
bill Is that it will In- protH>ed to continue
the prc*u-n' arrangement for two years
by a joint resolution. In nn*' way It 1*
hoped to avoid creating a permanent army
of Hfion men. The chance* are how
ever. that If any substitute* for the pend
ing bill aro offered they will be voted
down. Tin men In charge of the bill
have made up their minds that the best
Interest of the country demands t this
time just such mii army that for will* h
It provide*.
If was exp* ctt*d ill trim .In le and the
