bin Also Increased to a Ma #
4. jor General.

WASHINGTON, May 8. In the senate
the bill to increase the efficiency of the
military service Of the United States,
better known as the army reorganiza-
ton bill, was called up by Mr.. Proctor,
in charge of the bill. The bill proposes
to change the method Of staff appoint
ment by detailing officers from the line

eral, inspector general, quartermaster
general and commissary general.
It also increases the rank Of General
Miles to lieutenant general and General
Corbin to major general. The regi-
mental formations of the artillery is
discontinued and 1876 batteries Of coast
artillery and Is batteries of field artil-
lery are provided for.
After one or two amendments to the
phraseology Of the bill had been made
Mr.. Tllman Is. o. moved that the 10Th
section Of the measure be amended SO as
to read as follows:
That the senior major general COM
manding the army shall have the rank,
pay and allowances of lieutenant gen.
eral, and his personal staff shall have
the rank, pay and allowances author
ized for the staff Of a lieutenant gen.

Of the ny. The motion was defeated

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The demo-
cratic members OF the house held n
caucus tonight to consider the trust
question, which is to be brought be-
fore the house during the next three
days and other legislation. The eau
Gus was attended by eight democrats.
At the outset Mr.. Richardson offered
the following resolution expressive Of
the party attitude:
Whereas, There is known to be a
large and growing surplus in the
treasury over and above the necessi-
ties of the government arising from the
taxes levied and collected under the
war tax act of 1898, therefore,
Resolved that we favor the reduc-
ton of the taxes provided for in said
bill and we do not think the present
session Of congress should adjourn un-
til said taxes shall have ben repealed
as to certain articles and reduced until
there is a total reduction in the ag-
gregate Of at least so per centum.
1--WE pledge ourself at all times to
support any measure or measures pro-
vding for such reduction"
The resolution was adopted without
division.
The trust question was then taken
up, Mr.. Ball presenting resolutions
favoring adverse vote on the anti
trust constitutional amendment, aud
favorable vote on the proposed demo-
cratic antitrust substitute bill. The
resolution further provided that in the
even of he defeat of the substitute,
support would be given to the anti
trust bill as reported.
