BSriiilile ir.t i>iaiii> 111- Amur Bill.
Washington, Dec. 20.—Senate
—Burnside took the flour to explain
the provision of the bill recently
reported from tho Joint Committee
for the reorganization of the army.
He said the officers of the army
were law-abiding men, and, while
they might disagree as to regula
tious and customs, they always
obeyed the law. Nearly all
the troubles between tho staff
and line bad arisen from uncertain
ty as to the regulation of tbe ser
vice, and were for the purpose of
mining them into law; that the
committee had engrafted numerous
tumy regulations in the bill, and
and tried to keep in view both the
efficiency and economy of the ser
vloe. He quoted at length from
the bill, and said it was most likely
tbat tn a few years hence some of
the cavalry regiments might be
changed to Infantry regiments
aqd thus the expense of the ser
vice be diminished. Referring to
the provision forbidding the further
Los Angeles Daily Herald.
manufacture of arms by the Ord
nance Department, he said he
thought it was calculated to stimu
late the invention of arms through
out the country. It had been said
by the enemies of the bill that it
curtailed the powers of the Secre
tary of War. He denied that such
was the case. In no way
did it abrideo the powers
of that officer. The Qeneral-in
Chief had no power to appoint Staff
officers; the bill provided that they
should be appointed by the Presi
dent upon ttie recommendation of
the Commanding General, and he,
(Burnside), knew of no man better
lltted to recommend for appoint
ment than the Commanding Qener
ul of the urmy. In the earliest days
of the Government tile Secretary
of War was not considered a part
of the army. He had always beeu
considered a civil officer. Iti con
clusion Burnside said ho was satis
tied that some system of reform
was necessary and should be made
at this time. Thebill reorganizing
the army wus then laid aside.

A Testimonial to llcaeoii.llehl I rem
I'aeiOP Coast Eti|rll*linieii.
London, Dec. 20th.—Lord Bea
consfleld yesterday received a depu
tation from the Pacific Coast which
presented a testimonial from Brit
ish residents of California. In ac
cepting tho testimonial Beacons-
Held said that, ou his return from
Berlin, he was much gratified at
the recognition his efforts received
from tile Colonies, but this testi
monial pleased him in an especial
degree. He referred to the treaty
of Berlin and believed that it would
tend to the pacification of Europe.
In tbat belief it wits made, and
though there might be those desir
ing its failure, that was not the
feeling of the signatory Powers,
who are determined to see the
treaty executed. The ad
dress also referred to the
acquisition of Cyprus. Lord Beu
eouslield said {hut all thecondi
i ions under which that island hud
been secured, to enable the Sul
tan to carry out the regen
eration of tho most important
part of his dominions, have
been fulfilled.. As v naval
station Cyprus wus not second in
value to Malta. Iv conclusion he
said thut though he could not send
an address and casket to California,
he scut his gratitude aud sympathy.

on the part of the students to new
class regulations. The agitation
reached its climax on the 12th in
stant, when the students deputed
some of their colleagues to explain
to the Rector that the disturbances
were due to the uncertainty wheth
er a decisiun had been taken iv re
gard to tbe petition presented to
theCzarowitch.and to the fact that
if such a decision had been
taken they had not been made
aware of its nature. The deputa
tion was further instructed to iv.
