Washington, May 5-Yesterday's ses-
sion of the senate was rendered espe-
cially notable by the passage after a
debate lasting only three hours Of the
army reorganization bill. In military
circles the measure is regarded as one
Of the most important of the present
session. 1t practically revolutionizes
the present staff arrangements of the
army. 1t proposes TO change the pres
ent system of permanent appointments
in certain staff corps to one OF detail
by gradual process as the officers
now in those corps go out of active
service. As vacancies occur In de-
partments of the adjutant general, the
inspector general, quartermaster gen
eral and commissary general they are
to be filled by details from the line, the
details TO be temporary and not to ex-
coed four years. The new system Is
not applied to the corps Of engineers,
medical department, pay department
or Judge advocate generals depart
ment. The bill discontinues the regi-
mental organization Of the artillery
and establishes an artillery corps OF
two brigaces, viz. 1875 batteries Of
coast artillery and IS batteries of field
artillery with q total Of 17,44S men.
1t provides for an increase Of 100 in
the corps of cadets at West Point,
two at large from each state and ten
more TO the present number of twenty
from the United States at large. Tie
rank of the commanding general Of
the army is raised to that Of lieuten-
ant general, and that of the adjutant
general to major general, the latter
being during the incumbency of the
present adjutant general, Gen. Corbin.
The president is empowered to place
on the retired list any officer who has
been suspended from duty by sentence
of court martial or by legislative order

ton bill carries about 81 100000.
The House.
The house made fair progress yes
terday with the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill. completing 20 of the 1872
pages Of the bill. Much Of the time yes
terday was consumed in an effort of
members of the naval committee to
cripple the coast and geodetic survey
in retaliation for the refusal of the
house TO agree 10 their recommended
ton when the naval bill was before
the house, to place the survey Of the
waters of our insular possessions in
the hands of the navy. They tried to
strike out Of the bill the item author
izing the coast survey to survey the
coasts in the jurisdiction of the United
States. They made a point Of order
against a new vessel for the survey
and against an appropriation of $780,
745 for enlisted men on survey vessels,
but the latter approximation went back
into the bill III another form.

been located on the bluff for years and
years.
