ARMY ORGANIZATION.


A Favorable Report on the Bill Embodyins
Secretary Proctor's Suggestions.
Senator Hawley was today instructed by the
committee ON military affairs TO report favor
ably his bill introduced yesterday for the sd-
vancement of the efficiency of tine army and to
increase the artillery corps by the addition of
two regiments. The bill today reported is
practically substitute for the bill Of the same
purport, with the addition Of the
three battalion feature, that passed the House
last session and is now on the Senate calendar.
It leaves the cavalry, infantry and engineer
branches Of the service unchanged, with the
exception of the infantry regiments, which it
increases to twelve companies. The artillery
is increased from five regiments to seven
and assignments to the two created
regiments are TO be filed by the
promotion of the officers now in the artillery,
and any vacancies remaining in the lower
grades are to be filed by transfer Of officers
from other arms of the service. The bill as
reported is in the line Of recommendations
made by the Secretary Of War for the advance
ment Of the personnel of the army, 80 as to put
on the same plane of conformity as the armies
of Europe.

THE MARKET DULL AND FIRM.
stocks Open With a Decline, but Prices
Slightly Recover.

SbEhtiN
NEW YORK. Dec 1.-THE reactionary spirit
was still strong in the stock market TINS morn
ing and while the changes in the opening prices
from those of last evening were quite irregular
they were in a majority of cases declines, and
Delaware and Hudson was down 1 per cent As
usual of late the general list was quite dull.
but there was great activity IN Lackawanna, with
St. Paul and Union Pacific following. and a
moderate business in several of the leading
stocks. The downward movement was very
pronounced in the carly trading among the
leaders, and Lackawanna after opening
down Is at 1858 further retired
y per cent to l24l1. while Union
and the Others generally slight amounts. The
trading was quiet and the pressure to sell abated
at these prices, when a SLOW recovery set in
which was sufficient to bring most OF
the list up to and beyond the opening
figures and the weaker stocks nearly to those
points The late trading developed no feature
whatever and at u O'Clock the market was quiet
and firm, generally at shade better than the
opening prices.
Money is easy at and per cent The stock
market remained very duh for the general hist
after II O'Clock. but the firm to s.rong tone
still prevailed and some stocks made fractional
advances. which brought everything up
above the opening figures. Iackawanna
and Union Pacific were the only
active stocks, and the former, after advancing
to 126. reacted fractionally. Union Pacific was
held within narrow limits. The dealings
showed no feature of interest and at noon the
market Was duh and firm at the best prices of
the morning and fractionally better than first
prices.
Silver opened at lO4Iy: highest sale, 1861;
lowest sale, l0ils; last sale, lO5l4.

NO SEATS, NO FARE.
What Is Said in the Senate About the Hous q
Railroad Bill.

The street railway bill which passed the
House the other day is still the subject Of con-
siderable talk at the Capitol. The bill as re-
ported from the House District committee was
an innocent little measure. merely providing
that in future all street railway companies
should sell tickets at the legal rate in perfor-
ated slips and that no tickets should be used a
second time. The bill was looked on as a
sanitary measure, ii being claimed that disease
was often spread by the old tickets. especially
as many careless persons have habit Of slip
ping the much-handled and often dirty tickets
between their lips while waiting for the con-
ductor to make his rounds. The
two amendments, however, which were
tackled TO the bill rather changed
Its complexion and caused il to leave an eN-
ceedingly bad taste in the months of the rail-
way companies. Mr.. Springer's amendment
Mr.. McComas made the addition of eight tick
cts for 25 cents.
ITS FATE IN THE SENATE.
The bill has now gone over to the Senate and
may slumber peacefully in some pigeon hole
for many days. If it ever does obtain a hearing
in the Senate it will afford an opportunity for
senatorial eloquence on a subject on which
many Senators are accustomed to expires.
themselves with vigor and force. 1t il
thought that the Senate. even il
1t passes the bill, will greatly modify
Its provisions. The clause which provides that
to collect a fare the passenger must be fur.
nished seat is held by many people at the
Capitol. and people, too. who are far from
pleased with the present street railway facili
ties, to be utterly impracticable.
WHAT ONE SENATOR SAYS
One Senator said to a STAR reporter today
ut would be sad calamity to pass the bill in
| its present shape, as in that case we would
probably lose Mr.. Springer forever. Some
day he would be in hurry to get to the Cap
ltol, and after about six cars had gone by him
| in which the seats were all taken his remorse
would be so great that he would. doubtless
butt his head against the first convenient wall.
EIGHT TICKETS FOR QUARTER.
In regard to the eight tickets for 25 cent,
there is not so much opposition. Ii is said thai
an injustice will be done the weaker roads il
such provision should pass and il is the plan
II the bill comes up in the Senate, to revise
| this section SO as to allow the Commissioner,
| to omit from this provision such roads as from
the statement of their receipts would clearly bS
| embarrassed by the reduction.
Mr. McConas himself tayors this amend
ment to his amendment and thinks that witt
this change the reduction ia entirely feasible
| II Is objected in this regard that such chang,
on some roads and not on others would Xii
the wide-spreading transfer system which
| Washington enjoys. Those fayoring the
project claim that the matter of transfers. even
with different fares, could easily be arranged
between the companies.

Anton Eubenstein suffers with Other
Hebrews From the Per~ecutions.
Dunlaps Cable Dispatch 20 The Evening Star.
vienna, Dec. ll.-Musical circles are much
excited By the rumor that Anton Rubenstein is
about TO leave Russia. His popularity there,
which for half a century has been unbounded,
has of late declined through the progress made
by anti-Semetic sentiments. Rubenstcin is Q
Hebrew by parentage, and as such has been ex-
posed 10 the yirulence OF the Hebrew haters in
Russian society. For many years lac has been lion
lied by all classes and was especially feted when
he recently celebrated the jubilee OF his musical
career. the car himself loading him with hon.
ors and orations being offered him in all
parts of the empire. The fact that
RubCnstcin married a lady belonging TO the
Russian nobility went long way toward assur-
ing his position in Russian society. but the anti
semetic preachers have undermined even this
coign of vantage and by certain sections Of the
Russian aristocracv a Hebrew. whether bap-
tized or not. is regarded with repugnance.
The hope is entertained here hat the COM
poser may be induced 20 spend his declining
wears in Vienna among his many musical
friends but il is feared that he will give either
Paris or Rome the preference.

THE REFORM SCHOOL.

Moro Room for Colored Boys II Needed,
According to Judge Miller.
Today in the Police Court Judge Miller again
called attention to the need Of larger accom-
modations for colored boys in the reform
school. Judge Miller has tried to get several
colored boys in that institution during the past
few weeks, but each time word was received
from the superintendent that there was no
room for colored boys. The courts remarks
were made when colored boy named Joseph
Carter was called up on charge Of vagrancy.
Carter is homeless boy and was sentenced
to the reform school several months ago. He
spent several months in Jail awaiting vacancy
in the reform school, but as no vacancy oc-
CURED he was turned loose. This morning he
again appeared, and there being no other place
for him he was sent to the work house for two
months.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency Considering Means of Relief.

rency Considering Means of Relief.
The House committee on banking and cur
rency met this morning and there a gen.
eral discussion of the financial situation. There
was considerable difference of opinion mani
tested. Several of the members thought that the
great need was a restoration of public con-
fidence and that with this secured financial af-
fairs would right themselves.
Mr.. Walker and one or two other members
of the committee were in favor of additional
legislation in the interest of the national banks
and Mr.. Walker will draft bill to meet his
views Of what should be done to permanently
better the financial situation.
CHAIRMAN DoRsEY's PLAN.
The result of the decision was the adoption
of a resolution to request the House to set apar,
a day for consideration and disposition OF
Chairman Dorsey's bill to reduce to $1,000
the minimum amount of United States
bonds which national banks shall be re-
quired to keep on deposit and to permit
the issue of circulating notes by national
banks to the full amount of the par value
of bonds deposited. This would, il was said
increase the amount of money in circulation
almost Immediately by $4,000. 900 and would
result in freer issue of national bank notes
by making the loss on circulation insignificant
or, perhaps nothing at all. When the bill
comes up in the House Chairman Dorsey in
behalf of the committee. will move an amend
ment to provide for the issue of greenbacks
whenever the national bank circulation falls
below S1S5, ,000, 600.
STATE TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANK AND TREASURY
NOTES.
Mr.. Morrill, Of Kansas was authorized to re-
port favorably bill to subject national bank
and United States treasury notes to state taxa
ton. In his report on this bill Mr.. Morrill,
says: "Your committee can see no good reason
why one form of currency should be exempt
from taxation while another is liable to be
taxed. Gold and silver are taxable, and certifi-
Gates or treasury notes redeemable in gold and
silver ought to be placed on the same basis"
THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM TOO SMALL.
Mr.. Dorsey, in speaking of the situation,
said: "The circulating medium of the country
is too small. Nearly every one admits that.
But we could get along as We did before If
confidence could be restored. and we hone to
do that and to increase circulation somewhat
by the bill we will call up. The banks all have
more money in their vaults than they ever
had before. All the western members concur
in that. Our little banks have twice
as much money in the vaults as they formerly
carried. The big banks even discount our
bills and we have to protect ourselves. Then a
great deal of money has been taken out of
banks by people who have become alarmed at
the course of legislation and have locked their
money in safe deposits. A great deal of money
has been sent abroad to buy consols. Only
the other day a man told me he had put
81 ,000, 900, about all he had, in English con-
soils. OF course it is foolish, but people are
alarmed"

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 1.-THE Masonic Grand
Lodge. which has been in session since Mon
day, will close tonight The election Of Frank
A. Reed of Alexandria to the Office Of grand
Junior deacon meets with general satisfaction
in Masonic circles, although the contest was
quite a lively one. The triumph was all the
greater on account of the aon-attendance Of
Reed. W. l.. Jeffries of Cull'eper was second
ON the ballot, which renders him a strong
candidate two years hence. This is the
only Office over which there is ever
any contest, as all other Offices are filed by
promotion. The resolution TO limit the grand
master to one term instead of two, n st
present, was reported adversely by the COM
mittee. and this ended the matter. Nearly all
the old district deputy grand masters were
reappointed. One of the few changes was in
the Richmond district, William Ryan being
commissioned vice l.. NEG. Fisher, resigned %
account Of removal from the city.
