ReduclugArm Expenses.
New York Herald.

h
itary committee in the house has been
engaged for some tins in preparing q
bill reducing the expenses Of the army.
It effects saving Of about $780, 300,
in the matter of pay, quarters and fofs
age. These reductions, however, do
not.applyto officers serving in the field
with troops. In the case Of general
officers, all commutationsof quarters,
rations and fuel are cut off, and each
officer is left with his pay proper
alone This will leave the general Of
the army Ola, 500; the lieutenant gen.
eral, e1l 600; Msjor generals, al2, 500
and brigadier generals, $500. The
present ,hw does not give the General
.horses, and the number allowed ma
jor general is, by the present bill re-
duced from five TO three, and briga-
dier general is allowed but-two: All
field officers are allowed two, and oil
mounted officers below the rank of
major are allowed one horse. The
pay Of colonel, lieutenant colonel, ma
ior. captain and first lieutenant is left
unchanged, for the reason that IN no
case can any one Of these officers, even
sfcr twenty years service receive
Ymore than $4,000. The pay Of Sec
ond lieutenant however, is reduced to
! 81 400 Cor a mounted officer. and ST..
200 for one not mounted The reason
for this reduction upon q second lieu
tenants pay is, that with very few
exceptions, they are young officers,
unmarried, and fresh from the acad.
cmy, and the sums indicated are
deemed sufficient for the short period
during which they serve in that rank,
as at the outside, their service rs sec
ond lieutenant does not extend
beyond FIVE years. The
savings on second lieutenant pay
amount to 100000 a. year. In the
matter Of Communication of quarters all
officers are reduced one.half the
item Of fuel is not changed. On the
item of forage the saving is $3.50, 600.
This matter and the reduction in
number Of horses allowed officers also
applies to the Marine Corps, as well
as other reductions in the way of com.
mutations.
4 In the matter of details Of officers
for staff duty very important change
and q considerable saving is effected.
At present it is s-possible for a lieuten-
ant and even for second lieutenant
to be detailed upon the staff of gen.
eral officer and to receive the pay and
allowance of colonel and such
cases actually exist. BY the terms
of this bill al o6cera on staff are to
receive the pay only and allowances
of the resi- rank. The saving in this
item alone in staff of general officers
lis $4,000.
In the matter Of reducing the army,
the committee as yet does net see ziss
way clear to any great cutting down
of force. II Is possible that the mum.
Der. Of regiments may be reduced by
two, but careful study Of bssubject
by the members Of the committee of
both parties does not seem to indicate
THAT even this will be thought .ad-
Iybsble.
