A NEW ARMY 3ILL.
Chiilrmnu Hull Summon* llnuar >lll
- Committee.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.—Chairman
Hull of the house committee on military
affairs has called a meeting of the com
mittee for this afternoon. He hopes that
a t|uoruiti will be present and that the
committee tan goto work immediately
upon the outlines of a new army bill.
"It will be in the direction of economy
to pass the army bill without delay." said
Mr. Hull. "The urmy now in the i'Uilip
• \ r.L
allies will have to be brought home ill the
summer that Is. those of the men who do
not care tore enlist. The transports
which go out for them should depart la
den with the troops who are to replace
them, else the ships will make one voy
age empty."
Mr. Hull was in conference last week
with the president and with otlicials of
tlo* war departlm ill Upon the character
of legislation desired by the administra
tion. lie -aid the president will commu
nicate to congress veiy fully bis recom
mendations about the army, anil he did
not assume to speak the president's mind
in advance.
He thought, however, that the adminis
tration would not i>e content with any
makeshift legislation, no proposition to
coutlliuc the present law for two years
uiore. Ills impression was that the prcsi
dent wanted authority to raise a regular
army stiltbleiit for the need* of the conn
try IINI.IMMI melt, if liccc**ui> the 1111111
lier to l>e reduced when there nti uo lou
ger need for tlicin.
Mr Hull said the Tafl commission had
reported that ImM• Filipino* could lie
i ulistcd immediately in the urmy for the
Philippine* and that I bet would make

( GREAT COMPOSER DEAD.
! Sir* Arthur Sullivan Paaaea Away
Very Sodalrnly In l.ondun.
LONDON, Nov. I'.'i.—Sir Arthur Sulli
van is dead of heart failure.
Sir Arthur's death was sudden, al
though his illness took a severe turn
about two weeks ago. When he was tak
en ill, he was collaborating with Basil
Hood ou an Irish opera. He went to the
south of Kuropc to recuperate, but the
trip was of no benefit to his health.
Arthur Seymour Sullivan was without
doubt the best known the world around
of all musicians of his country and his
time. His SOUKS were everywhere sung.
He himself on his lirst visit to the Pa
cific coast of the Cnited States heard a
baud in a San Francisco park playing his
song. "The Lost Chord." His hymn. "On
ward. Christian Soldiers," is used by
most churches where the English tongue

prevails. His orchestral works are re
spected by musicians. Of his operas "Pin
afore" and"The .Mikado" can fairly be
> called the famous examples. One was
sung only five days ago in this city, while
; tjie other is to lie heard ill the week to
| coine. In Kugland, a London theater is
! iiermuueiitly devoted to the Sullivan rep
! ertory.
Born in London 011 May 18, 1842. Sul
livan was brought up in a half musical,
' half military atmosphere. His grandfa
ther was a squire of Kerry who served
j as a soldier in the Peninsular war and
: who after Waterloo was in 11 detachment
j ordered to St. Helena as .Napoleon's
; guard. Sullivan's father was a band
; master at the Koyal Military college,
' Sandhurst, and later at Kneller hall.
His mother, Mary, daughter of .lames
Coghler. was descended from au old
| Italian family of the name of Kighi.

Dr. Morrison, wiring to The Times
from Peking Sunday, says:
"The foreign envoys have agreed to
two proposals that were previously reject
ed, owing to lack of unanimity. These
are Sir Krnest Satow's proposal that
China should agree to recast the commer
cial treaties and the Italian proposal that
China should consent to foreign financial
control as 11 guarantee of the indemnity.
"The delay in the presentation of the
joint note is due to postponements by the
home governments. This increases the
difficulties of the situation and aggra
vates the dislocation "112 trade anil finance,
especially the collection of inland reve
nues. At the lowest estimate the indem
