CONGRESS on HIS HANDS.
Next Thing the President VIII Have
Both Houses To BE Called

Washington, Aug. 2.-The Post saws:
President Mckinley will call an extra
session OF both houses of congress as
| soon as Spain accepts the terms of peace
offered by the United States. 1t has
always been understood that the senate
would be convened as socn "a the etreaty
Of peace was ready to b. acted upon by
that body. The attention of the presi-
| dent has been called. however, to a Sit
| uation which makes the assembling of
| the entire congress necessary. This
| situation can be explained in q few
words. Under the law which provides
| for the raising Cf the volunteer army
| that army goes out OF existence as soon
as the war ceases.
When this law was framed il was
not for a moment supposed that after
| the war had ended there would be any
necessity of keeping the army intact.
| The developments of the war make il
yeyy evident that instead of sending the
| army back 20 civil life fully 100. 900 men
will continue 10 be needed. 1t is the
present intention 20 distribute no less
tlan $4,000 soldiers throughout Cuba
with $4,000 in the Philippines and prob
| ably 10000 in Porto Rfco. Under the
| law, as soon as hostilities cease the
| volunteer army is disbanded, and the
regular army goes back to its peace
footing, thus leav.ng Cn,y 1900 men in
| the service.
! This is total far too small for the
work that will berequired. Consequent
| ly the aid Il congress will BE- needed to
| frame new laws which VIII keep an
| adequate army ior garrison purposes.
| In addition 10 this laws must be passed
10 meet the new requirements of g5v-
| ernment in the Philippines and Porte
| Rico Ire pres dent Is naturally avsrse
to calling congress together during the
| hot weather. and ii may be decided
| that the war is rot ended until the sen
| ate has ratified the treaty OF peace. II
this case congress will not mset unit
the first or middle Of September. as il
| will take at least a month or six We X
for the full details of the treaty to bi
| discussed and framed. The rre ent ont
lcok is. however. for an extra session
