This action was taken late in the Jay on Mr Allison's request that the I >istii«-t of Co lumbia appropriation bill be taken up Mr. Frye, in charge of the shipping bill who had said he would not give way tc appropriation bills without a vote of tlu senate, was not in the chamber at the time, but Mr. Aldrich, Mr. llauuu and others interested in the measure wert. present and joined in the general assent given to Mr. Allison's request. The ship ping bill holds its place and as the un finished business can be taken up when the appropriation bills are not occupying attention. The Distiict of Columbia bill will occupy the attention of the senate to day. ' The subsidy bill did not receive at ten tion, the greater part of the time of the senate being given to listening to a speech by Mr. Bacon of Georgia on the right of the senate to demand informa tion on (ile in the executive departments. Senators in charge of the ship subsidy bill gave notice that beginning tomorrow they would seek to have the senate sit regularly at night to consider the meas ure. The postponement until tomorrow is due (o the absence front the city ot some of the friends of the bill and to the /act that others had social engagement) l (or last night and tonight. The present plan is to have the senate take a recess each evening at ti o'clock until N and then to sit until 11 o'clock the night sessions to be devoted to the shipping bill. When asked how long this programme is to lie followed, they reply, "I'ntil the bill is passed." They profess conlidenee in their ability to get the bill through, and the leaders have been engaged in rallying their forces and iu making sure of the at tendance of a quorum. "The bill will go through," said Sena tor Aldrich. "I have never known a filibuster to prevail against a bill which was supported by a majority of the sen ate." He expressed the opinion that it would uot be ditilcult to maintain a quorum for the night sessions. The army appropriation bill making provision for the army under the plan of reorganization recently enacted was com pleted yesterday by the house commit tee on military affairs and reported by Chairman Hull. It carries approximate ly SIIB.(MHMJUO as against estimates of about made by war depart ment officials. The total of army appro priations, general and deficiency, las! year aggregated 1D.00t1.000. Chairman Hull says the present bill will be ample and will not entail u deficiency measure later. The sundry civil appropriation bill, one of the most important and most general supply bills of the government, was com pleted by the house committee on ap propriations. The bill appropriates N.V.1.- 703.0K-1, which is !fIO,)SXt),IU7 less than the estimates and $5,748,221 less than the bill for the current fiscal year. The items for river and harbor work now in progress under contract aggregate ?(!.- H4O,iEKi, or about half the amount ap propriated last year.

DUKE HENRY WELCOMED, , Wllheluiinn'a Intended Formally ■Outers The Hnittle. THE HAGUE, Feb. 1. —Duke Henry ; of Mecklenberg-Schweriu, whom Queen Wilhelminu will marry, made his formal entry into the capital at S o'clock last evening, wearing the uniform of a Dutch general uml Dutch decorations. He was i received at the railway station by u | guard of honor and with great ceremony. The premier welcomed him on behalf ! of the cabinet as "the betrothed of our | beloved queen and a Dutch subject." The duke drove iu one of the state car riages to the palace, where (Jueen Wil | helutiiia awaited him iu the Vestibule. | In thanking the various officials who wel- I coined him he spoke the Dutch language.

The nominations, he said, include a i lieutenant general, three major generals and ten brigadier generals. Iu military circles it is believed lhut General Miles will be made lieutenant general, but there is considerable uncertainty with re gard to the other general officers. Gen erals Wade, Mcrrium and Young arc i the three ranking brigadiers iu the pres i ent regular establishment iu the order j named, with General MucArthur No. 4 1 and Generul Ludlow No. 5. General !
