THE MILES BILL.
A great deal Of interest is felt here in
the army reorganization bill Gen. Miles
has drafted and submitted to Congress.
This measure Is designed to increase
the regular army TO 10000. II provides
that regiments Of infantry shall consist
OF twelve companies Of 200 men each
and officers as at present. This is of
special interest to Virginia for IL is de-
sired to have the military organizations
conform in numbers and officers to the
regular army.
II is practically settled that the Vir-
cinia militia will not be reorganized until
Congress passes a bill making provision
for the reorganization Of the United
States army. This will probably be done
early In the session.
NO ONE MAY GO.
The Governor has named Congressman
James HAY. Acknowledgement Male and
Col. 10. Lane Stern to represent Virginia
at the annual meeting of the National
Guard TO he held in Chicago next week.
Mr.. Hay has declined on account Of his
congressional duties. Gen. Male does
not think he will go, and It is not Likely
that Col. Stern will attend.
