HEw YoRK, March 2-The Tribune's
Washington special says: The House Mill
tary Committee have instructed Gen.
Schenck to report to the House to-day the
bill for the reorganization of the army. 1t
does not change the number of the army
from what Mr.. Wilson's Senate bill pro-
vided for. 1t authorizes the Veteran Re-
serve Corps to be consolidated and contin-
ued in ten regiments, and all officers here
after appointed to be wounded volunteers.
1t omits the 2d regiment of colOred cavalry,
and reduces the cOlored infantry regiments
from ten TO eight. 1t favors officers of the
line and in the field, and does not, as the
present laws do, favor officers on detail at
Washington and elsewhere with increased
pay and perquisites. The pay of Brig. Gen.
erals on duty in Washington is s., ABS 7j
cash, and forage worth $S3S, or $6,269 IS
per annum in money. If that same Cen
eral goes into the field he gets 81 ass 25
