HULL Bill l8 FAVOR-ED

“’ar Department. Estimates It “’ill Cost
Between I~‘.i‘ty-Zivo and Sixty Illillion
if Mr. Moiiinlcy’s Ideas Are Adopted
“Washington, D. C., Jan. 4.—Now that
it is‘ certain the mace treaty Will be
ratifiid by the Senate, the anti-expfllx‘
slonists will level their heavy guns 0‘
opposition against the bill to increase
the army.
o'l'his bill probably will be the herd-
est fought and longest debated of any
measure during: the next two months.
The. anti-expansionists will throw ob--
stacles in its path at every opportu—
nity. it
During the recess the prcsidcnt has
talked to senators and representatives,
and openly has stated his preferemc
for the Hull bill, as against the one
prepared by General Miles.
The Hull bill aims to increase the
present army in numbers rather thin
regiments, with very few officers. The
Miles bill, on the other hand, increases
the number of regiments and the num-
ber of officers.
It is acknowledged to be a good one,
but not one to meet the favor of Con-
gress, and those who are anxious for
legislation to increase the army say it
never could be passed, and as the ne—
cessities of our changed territories
make it necessary for an increase 0'
the army, they are willing to take the
Hull bill rather than to lose all.
A calculation has been made at the
war department in regard to the in-
creased appropriations necessary for
the maintenance of the army under
the Hull bill, and it is found that it
is twenty to thirty per cent. lower than
expected.
It would require only between fifty—
five and sixty millions. It was esti—
mated that it would be nearer one
hundred millions than fifty.
The anti—expansionists are re _. .
upon the public sentiment: againa :1
large standing army to help the bill
for an increase.
The, president, however, feels assur—
ed that Congress will pass a bill, gur—
ing the government the necessazy l'tli'f‘c‘
to protect and garrison the new terri—
tory required during the war, and also
a force large enough for duty in the
United States. _
In talking about what Congress is
likely to do in the matter, a prominent:
army oiiicial said:
“It is my opinion that before C011-
adj'ourns it will authorize tha-
cc-ntinuance of the army as it at Dr‘fh-
cnt exists. numbering sixty-two thou-
sand men, and provide that the prcszi-
dcnt at his discretion and when h;
thinks it necessary for the good of this
country and the territories, to increase
tli'r- army up to one hundred thousand.
This will not only meet the approval
of be conservative men who do not
wz‘nt a large standing army, but it
will give the president the power to
increase the army to the uumbernow
asf‘od for. if he thinks it necessary.
It would satisfy the people, for it
would put the responsibility for the in—
crc.se on the president's shoulders,
giving him the discretion to decide
what number is necessary. '1
“if. during the year, the president
finds it necessary for a large force to
be sent to either the Philippines or
Cuba. he will have the power to enlist
enough men in the regular army to
meet this necessity.
“In other words, this is all the presi—
dent asked in his annual message. The
present army is now, as stated, sixty—
two thousafid men, and if he has the
powcr to i::crease it to one hundred
thousand men that is all that is re—
quired.” ’
The folloving is the president‘s rec—
ommendations in this matter to Con-
gress when it met in December:

Trains Race for : ontrm-t.
Omaha. Nob, Jan. 4.-—The race be-
tween‘the Burlington and Northwest-
ern fast mail trains concluded at Omar-
ha yesterday morning.
'It was the fastest time for a five
hundred mile stretch ever made, and
the trains ran as fast as one hundred
and ten miles an hour for fifteen miles.
The Northwestern wins the first prize
of the great $750,000 contest. .
Six more must be run, and the
Northwestern must win at least three
more to get half the mail contract and
four more in order to ask for the
. whole.
This brings the time between Omaha
and Chicago down to nine hours and
fifty—seven minutes.

to be a Social Event.
New York, Jan. 4.——Great prepara-
tions have been made-for the wedding
to-day of Miss Olive Farrington Samp-
son, daughter of Admiral Sampson, to
Henry H. Scott, a wholesale coal deal—
er of San Francisco. The ceremony
will be at 8 p. m., In the Glen Ridge

ing to the absence of both Miss Samp—
son’s parents, was postponed.

nie Sampson, and the bridesmaid will
be Miss Annie Daws, daughter of Ma-
jor Davis of’West Point, and Miss
Perk-ins of Connecticut. There will he
a reception in the Sampson house in
Clark street, Glen Ridge, after the
ceremony. .
One of the features of the banquet
will be the display and use for the
first time of the loving cup just pre-
sented to Mrs. Sampson by the com-
manding officers who served under Ad-
miral Sampson during the war.
MISS OLIVE S. SAMPSON.
The cuz'i is tweIVe inches in height
and, as might be expected in nauti-
cal in character. The handles are
composed of loiphins, and in connec-
tion with these are two mermaids, one
displaying the laurel wreath of tri-
umph and the other proclaiming this
memorable victory of the seal.
Upon one face of: the can the action
off Santiago on that glorious third of
July is etched in a very artistic man—
ner, pictures of the flagship New York
and of other famous battleships being
adequately displayed.
I’pon the other face is etched in
quaint and graceful lettering the in-
scription setting forth for whom, from
whom. and the occasion calling for the
presentation. The base is formed-of
representations of the bows of the
Spanish armored cruisers Oquendo,
Vizcaya. Maria Theresa and Cristobal
Colon—the whole effect being in its ar-
tistic presentation worthy of the oc-
casion and of the tribute which cvolv--
ed it.
VLYMA'N A83 TT'S SUCCESSOR.
The Repor ml Selection of the Rev.
Hillis of Chicago.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 4.—It is
unlikely that the Rev. Dr.
Dwight l-Iillis. pastor of the Central
Church of Chicago, will succeed the
Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott as pastor of
Plymouth church.
It is very probable that the advisory
committee of Plymouth church will
recommend that Dr. Hillis be called.
It is generally believed that he will
accept and that by spring the celebra-
ted Chicag'o divine will be preaching
in historic Plymouth.
Dr. I-Iillis is a native of Iowa, and
is forty years old. He was educated
at Crinnell Academy, at Lake Forest
I' i'.'C-iSitfy', and at McCormick Semi—
nary.
For three years after leaving his
theological studies he was pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of Fe—
oria. From 18:20 to 1394 he preached
from the pulpit ,of the First church in
Evanston, Ind.
In December, 1894. he succeeded Pro-
fessor Swing at the Central Church.
Dr. Hillis. like his predecessors of Ply-
mouth and Central churches, is a writ—
er. The four books he has published
are: “Foretokens of Immortality,”
“How the Inner Light Failed,” “A
Man's Value to Society,” and “The In-
vestment of influence."

St. Paul, Jan. 4.—John Weilmer of
Lafayette, Nicolettecounty, was shot
in the head and hip by two tramps
whom he had given shelter.
They bound Mrs. Fellmer to a lounge
with a clothesline and c'Scaped with
IVeilmer's team.
Mrs. VVeilmer began gnawing at the
rope with her teeth, and after several
hours of struggle succeeded in biting
the cord in two and liberating herself.
In the yard she found her husband

A posse of farmers. armed with the “
rope with which Mrs. Weilmer had
been tied, have gone in pursuit of the

The Military Cloak.
New travellng' wraps for lengthy
journeys are military cloaks, quite as
long as an ulster, to be worn with or
without a cape. The fronts are semi-
-- loose, and the backs fitted and some-
times belted. Many of these wraps
are made of army-blue cloth, and the
fronts are fastened with medium-sized
gilt buttons. .The deep cape is fast-
ened by and trimmed with stitched
straps of the cloth and is.alone a. suffi-
cient wrap for many occasions. Check-
ed and striped cloths, lightly and
roughly woven, and otners of dark
color and finer grain, said to be abso-
lutely waterproof, are made in redin-
gote style, much after the fashion of
coachmen’s coats, with and without
shoulder-capes, and will be used for
traveling and morningr walks.

Good for the Stomach.
Vinol—Wine of Cod Liver Oil, we have
found by experience to be actually beneficial
to the stomach. The chief objection to cod
liver oil was the fat and grease which would
disturb the disease-weakened stomach and
make what would otherwise have been a val;
uable remedy, impractical. Because Vinol
contains all the medicinal parts of cod livei
oil, and none of the fat itself, its desirability
m ay well be understood.
Mr. W. L. Wood, a prominent chemist of
Pawtucket, R. I., in talking of Vinol, says 2-4
“N ow you have discovered away to extract
the active curative principles from the liver of
the cod, and liave'found out how to leave
behind the useless and stomach-disturbing
grease, you have been able to give to sufferers
from wasting diseases a. most. valuable medi-
cine. Witli Vinol people will no longer sicken
and die from such diseases, because they are
now enabled to take enough of the medicinal
elements of cod liver oil to benefit themselves,
without deranging their digestive organs.”
We have seen, as many other chemists
have, this most desirable point in regard to
Vinol fully illustrated in many instances.
Yours very truly,
Sneuial Vinol representative
