More than that, the Chairmun of the Committee of the Whole ruled that tho proposition to transfer the Indlan Bureau to the War Department, which was also moved as aun amendinent, was in order, on the ground that prima facle it appears that it would result in cconomy. 'The question 1s now pend- ing, und the Committeo Las to act upon it to- motrow, the indications befng thut it will also be INCORFORATED IN THE BILL. It is doubtful whether the armyamendment will be retained when the House comes to vote upon it, as a chauge of six votes would defeat it. The opposition to it will be very pronouuced. Indeed, Fernando Wood has openly declared his purpose to vote against the entire appropriation if the House Insists upon making these radieal changes In legislation by means of amendments toanpropriation bills. 1f Wood can sectiro any considerable following, there Is some danger that the entire Appropriation bill may bo lost nnd the work bhave to be done over agaln, and it is very certaln that If the Arny Commission Proposition and Indisn Trausfer bill goes to the Benste ms parts of the regular Army Appropriation bill, the con- test fu that vody will be very short, with the - probability of A BERIOUS DEAD-LOCK between the two Houses. The White-Banning amendment contains substantlally the reor- ganization featurcs of the Burnside Commis- sion bill, with a reduction of stal officors, con- soltdotion and reduction of regiments and re- sorved Jtst. ‘The Indlan trausfer amendment ls PIOPOSALS.
