With respect to the attitude of the Penn

Jority Of the delegates from Pennsylvania
to the democratic national convention will
be favorable to the Bryan organization and
VIII favor permitting the pla torn of 1900

platform There will be some gold men in
the delegation, but If the unit rule is en-
forced. as usual. the delegation will vote
for Bryan and to let the Bryan people write
the platform. -
Democrats who are true to the party do
not feel that the next platform should ha
written by those who refused to support
the party on the 1856 platform. A ma jority
of the Pennsylvania delegation will favor
the platform being written by those who
wrote it in SO. and will trust to them to
ADAPT it to the present conditions"

Gen. Miles on Proposed Increase and Now II
Should De Done.

washington. rep. o.-JeI. Miles, To-
day. was before the subcommittee Of
the Senate committee on military af-
fairs, which has the army re-organiza-
ton bill under consideration. He sug-
gested that in view of the probability
that the reorganization bill could not
get through this session. a temporary
substitute should be provided for the
maintenance of the army on its present
basis until the next session OF Con-
gress.
One of his recommendations was for
the organization of the army upon the
basis of one soldier for every 1000 Of
the population of the United States
proper and for every 500 of those &C.
cupying outside possessions.
The subcommittee has practically
abandoned all idea of attempting to
revive the grade of lieutenant general
of the army, because of the controver-
sizes among the officers of the army OF
high rank.
Gen. Miles said he had made a calcu-
lation showing that upon his estimate
the army would number about $4,000
men. He thought we should need
force of $4,000 in the Philippines. $1,000
in Cuba and 5000 in Porto Rrco.
He criticized the provision of the biz
determining the size of companies, say
ing that 100 men were sufficient for
company in any branch of the service.
To increase the number would give too
many men to the officers in charge Of
them and thus endanger discipline
He also recommended the the in
crease of the general staff on the plan
pursued by the German army.
