ARMY DIFFERENTIATION.

Congressman Hull, the chairman of
the committee on military affairs of the
last national house of representatives.
has contributed a very interesting article
to the current number of the North
American Review entitled 1.-The Organi-
cation of the Army
Starting out with the the proposition
that this government is so situated as
to make large standing army unneces-
sary,' Mr. Hull reviews the work in
the way of army reorganization attempt
ed by the last congress- What is known
as the Hull bill was reported from Mr.
Hulls committee it's main provisions
having been agreed on after full con-
terence with the war department. 1t in
creased the number of infantry reei-
ments from twenty-five to thirty the
cavalry from ten to twelve, abolished
the regimental organizations of heavy
artillery. and created corps Of artiI-
1ery. It left the cavalry organization as
IL had been, increased the infantry COM
pany to 1f5 enlisted men as maximum
and provided about 10000 men for the ar
tiiiery arm of the service, only two reei-
ments to be organized as field artillery
and gave the president discretionary
power between the minimum of 81 900 en-
listed men and a maximum of Sc. 900.
After running the gauntlet of commit
-,
passed in such a form as to be little
short of ridiculous in its reouirements
AS the law now stands we have. as :.
maximum OF cavalry company, forty-
three priVates, twenty-five non-commis-
stoned officers, cooks, farriers and mn
sicIans, and three commissioned Off
GERS. An infantry company has forty.
eight privates, seventeen non-commis-
stoned officers. including cooks and mu-
sicians, and three commissioned officers
Besides all this, this wonderful law gives
to each regiment full band, and to
each company two musicians The ac-
ceptance of a commission under this Ia w
would result in retiring the Incumbent
to private life within two years from
next July.
In summing up the result of the work
done in this respect Chairman Hull saws.
The bill was amended at the will of
any individual senator 1t is, in its fin
ished state, the worst kind of patchwork.
No greater exhibition of the power of a
senator was ever given. A very small
minority of the senate led by one ex.
perenced senator, took the senate. the
house and the executive department of
the government by the throat and com

DEER SEASON IN PIKE.
Nearly 800 Killed During the Month
of November.


srecial to The Scranton Tribune.
Hawley, Pa, Dec. 4.-The deer season
in pike county has been an unusually
good one for hunters. 1t is estimated
that during the month OF November
nearly 300 have been taken by different
parties of hunters in that county alone
OF this number, ex-Sherin Hoitman'
together with various other parties,
has killed twenty At Lords valley
some TWENTY-FIVE have been taken at
various times during the season. Last
Friday party of four from Plttston'
hunting near that place, shipped from
here four fawns and two old DEER one
of which weighed 175 pounds. The same
day a party from Scranton took home
with them two fawns which they had
shot in the neighborhood Of Lords vat
ley The taking of the animals has
not been confined to sportsmen from II
distance, exclusively.
Among eur local huntsmen who have
OH different occasions succeeded in re-
turning with trophies OF the chase are
William Quincy Christian Lehman,
August Frank, Reinhard Warg and Jo-
seph Nell. owing to the large number
of fawns taken this year 1t is doubt
ful whether next season will find the
deer so plentiful as they have been the
season Just closed.
