WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO
fBY TELEGRAPH THE TRrBrSEl
Washington. April 20-The energies OF the
War Department to-day were devoted to prepa-
ratlons for the mobilization Of the volunteer
force which is to be summoned by the Presi-
dent tomorrow or next day. In every bu-
all other matters were temporarily laid
aside to arrange for the prompt transportation.
equipment and utilization Of this army. Adju-
tant-General Corbin completed kilograms to the
Governors Of all the States. specifying the quota
required in each instance to be sent immediate
ly after the Presidents proclamation is issued.
and the blank mister rolls were put In pack
ages and addressed ,or mailing.
The Ordnance Department has the required
arms ready at the arsenals for speedy shipment.
and the Commissary- General has perfected his
plans for feeding the men as they are
placed under arms. The Quartermaster Cen
era under the special authority Of Secretary
Alger. has authorized Lieutenant Colonel J. b.
Furey. Deputy Quartermaster- General in charge
OF the Philadelphia depot. to solicit tenday bids
for more than S1OOOO0O worth Of clothing and
supplies for which the volunteer army will have
most urgent need. including bouses, hats. shoes
and underclothng suitable for the climate OF
Cuba A telegram also sent to Colonel
Furcy countermanding the direction to buy
hammocks for the volunteer forces and ordering
him to purchase instead cots not TO exceed
fifty thousand.
ARTILLERY MOST NEEDED.
The chief solictude OF the Army is that the
volunteer calls shall result in a hearty response
from all the artillery organizations OF the State
militia. Practically the entire artillery strength
of the Army. except the light batteries now as
sembling at Chickamauga, has been diverted TO
the duty Of coast defence. and the force Of this
arm available for foreign invasion is much too
small. Although orders were issued to-day TO
the Regular Army putting every light battery
on footing ard thereby increasing the
armament OF each to six guns. the demand for
additional artillery is greater than that in any
other branch No difficulty whatever is appre-
hended in securing sufficient cavalry from the
volunteers. and the response to the call for in
fantry promises TO be embarrasslrgly large.
perhaps ten times greater than can be accepted.
but practically all the light batteries OF the
ganzed militia will be welcomed.
WHAT THE STATES CAN FURNISH.
According t. the latest reports received at the
office OF ths Adjutant- General the number of
light batteries. with their aggl egate strength OF
officers and men in the various State mtias, is
follows.

URGENT NEED OF NEW LAWS
The progress Of the Volunteer bill in Congress
was marked by changes in consonance with
Secretary Alger's authorized assurance In The
Tribune this morning, which sufficiently indi-
Gated the desire OF the War Department TO Sc
cure the prompt passage OF bill that would
sweep away the conflicting statutes now In
force whether the best result from a purely
military point OF view could be obtained not.
The President hoped the bill would become q
law in time to call for volunteers under its pro-
visions tomorrow morning and 1t is possible
that In case OF serious delay in Congress he
will ask for authority to issue his proclamation
under the law as it stands and act on the bill
afterward. The Hull bill for Army reorganiza-
tion is considered more urgent even than the
Volunteer bill. and an appeal will be made to-
morrow by Secretary Alger for its immediate
consideration.
The Navy is also handicapped on the eve Of
war by the failure to act on the Personnel bill.
but assurances have been given that II will be
taken up directly after the Army bills are out
