son to-day signed the Hay-Chamber-
lain army reorganization bill, which
provides for a gradual increase in the
standing army to 100000 men and fed

postmasters a bonus OF 50 for every &C
cepted recruit they turn in.
Important features include an ap-
propriation Of S2O,000,000 for gov

Chicago, June 3.-Had il been ar

counted as such. To-day's tremendous
