Washington. May 9.—The confer
ence report on the army appropria
tion bill wa« taken up and agreed
to in the house yesterday. In the
aliape In. which it was presented
from the conference committee it
carries an aggregate appropriation
of I9B.3A2.24 6. The principal Item
of Increase is $7,000,000 for addi
tional pay for officers and enlisted
men of the army. With the various
changes made in conference, the bill
represents a .total increase of $3,
263,151 over it.he amount author
ized by the house.
Chairman Hull explained that the
total number of soldiers on the re
tired list was 94 2. and that the in
crease to them would approximate
$200,000. It was made n.vessnry
by reason of the law that grants re
tired officers three-'fourths the pay
or officers of similar grade, on the
active list.

Tim pro|H»**d Increase in pay or
officers was st Tenuously oppostnl by

[K>ngro8s almost every year had In
creased it by making additional al
lowance* for cominnUitiou of quar
(«.rs, fuel and light. lie predict.k!
'hat In five years the government
would ‘have to appropriate not lese
Ilian $25,000,000 as the result of
ihe increase*, as much, he said, as
he whole army was costing at the
beginning of the Spanish war.
The various expenses to which on
officer is siibjectod by reason! of
•hange.s in station, were discussed
enppth. the weight of the arguments
:»eing that they should be taken into
tcoount when the question of pay ir
onsidcred
Mr. Tawnev, Minnesota, chairman
if tha committee on appropriations,
>ppo*ed the Increase. He criticised
Mr. Hull for having “contrary to
he sent!mem of the house.” agreed
r> the item of $1,000,000 for
uaneuvres and th> increased j»ay of
if fleers, lie pleaded with the house
lot to agree to the conference re
iort.
