Senate May Adopt His Scheme for Arty Reorganization. ‘The Kepublic Bureau, lth Street and Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, Feb 16 —The Hull pill for the reorgunization of the army, which passed the house after a protracted debate and over the opposition of several leading repub-| licans, was reported to the senate to-day by a tie vote of the commit |} tee on Senator Proctor, who 1s ia Cuba, is opposed to this measure, and, had the demo erata desired to do so, they could have prevented the reporting of the bill tothe senate. They decided, | however, to permit the Huli bill to be reported, and at the same time reported a plan of Senator Ceckrell, | which will coatinue uatil Jaly 1, 1901. the regular army at a strength of 62,000 men, and at the same time allow the President to muster in 35,000 men in the new colonies, who are not to be considered a purt of the permanent military establish- ment. Chairman Hawley, of the commit- tee will use every effort to secure passage of the Hull bill, and will be supported by many republican sen ators who want to get members of their families appointed from civil lifeto army rank, under the liberal provisions of ths republican meas ure. It is known, however, that the majority of the senate favor Senator Cookrell’s plan, and the prospect is that it will be adopted subatantially a3 pressnted by the Missouri sena- tor. It is certain that Mr. Cockrell’s Proposition would be accepted by the house if passed by the senate, fgmany republicaus in the body voted for the Hull bill only because of the earnest appeals of part; leaderst> support the administra tion. The democratic leaders ia the sen- ateindorse warmly Mr. Cockrell’s Measure, and a number of them say that if the republicans will not ac- cept, they will net get avy army legislation this year, whether an extra session sba'l be the result of thisor not.
