PASSES THE SENATE.
Bill for Reorganization of Army Goes
ThrOugh-HOuscs Passes Free
Homes Bill.

Washington, May 5.-Friday'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. The
Notifications appropriation bill, car
rying about 81, 800 O0, was passed.
FIN military circles the army r~eorganiza-
ton bill is regarded as one of the most I'M
portant of the present session. 1t prac-
tically revolutionizes the present staff ar
of the army. 1t proposes to
change the present system of permanent
appointments in certain staff corps to one
of detail by a gradual process, as the Of
ficers now in those corps go out OF active
service. AS vacancies occur in departments
of the adjutant general. the inspector gem
eral, quartermaster general and commits
sary general. they are to be filed by details
from the line. the details to be temporary,
end not to exceed fou years. The new sys-
tenn is not applied to the corps of engineers,
medical department, pay department or
Judge advocate generals department. The
bill discontinues the regimental organiZa-
ton OF the artillery, and establishes an ar
tillery corps of two branches, viz, l6 bat
teries of coast artillery and Is batteries Of
field artillery, with a total OF lI,4S men.
1t provides for al increase of 100 In the
CORPS of cadets at West Point, two at large
from each state and ten more TO the pres
ent number of 20 from the United States
at large. The rank of the commanding
general of the army is raised to that OF
lieutenant general, and that of the adtu-
tant general TO major general, the latter
being during the incumbency of the pres
ent adjutant general, Gen. Corbin. The
president is empowered to place on the re-
tired list any officer who has been suspend
cd from duty by sentence of court-martiat
or by legislative order in mitigation of such
sentence, for a period extending to or with

Washington, May 4.-The house

remarkable thing in connection with
the passage of the bill was a speech in
its favor by Galusha A. Grow (Pa.), the
venerable ex-speaker of the house, who
as years ago fathered and passed the
original homestead bill. He was then
the youngest, and is now the oldest,
member of the house. The remainder
of the day was devoted to the sunday
civil appropriation bill, the last but one
of the great supply bills.
