Prof. Won Kaiser, and, as q subter-

HAY EXPLAINS ARMY BILL.
Tells House Details of the Plan of
REORGANIZATION.

An explanation of the proposed reor-
ganization planned for the army was
made to the House yesterday by Chair
man Hay of the committee on military
affairs. A small attendance was pres
ent when the House took up the eighty
eight million-dollar army appropriation
bill, in which the reorganization pan is
carried, and the real fight on the meas
ure probably will open Tuesday, when
debate Is to be renewed.
The plan contemplates the consolida-
ton of the quartermasters', paymasters'
and commissary departments into a
single supply corps; the elimination OF
forty-two officers, now embraced in the
separate divisions; the consolidation OF
the offices Of adjutant general, inspector
general and chief Of staff, under the
bureau of the general staff; the estab-
lishment of the Army Service Corps, to
add about 5000 civilian employees to the
enlisted rolls of the army, and the
lengthening of the enlistment period
from three to five years. War Depart
ment officials are split in their views on
this reorganization plan.

Legislation to carry into effect the fur
seal treaty entered into by the United
States, Russia. Great Britain and Japan
to protect the rapidly dwinding seal
herds In the north Pacific ocean was re-
ported to the House vest erday by the
committee on foreign affairs.
No provision is made In the bill for the
killing Of certain number of male seals
annually on the Pribiloff Islands, under
the authority of the United States gov
eminent. The report says that while
male seals can be killed in limited num-
Der each year without affecting the pro-
posed increase in the herd, such killing
should be regulated by separate law of
the United States, and therefore is not
made part of the International agree
ment.
The treaty will prohibit pelagic or open
sea seal hunting Tor the period 1t is in
force, fifteen years.
