WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. Representative
Hull, chairman of the house committee on
military affairs, to-day Introduced a bill
Increasing the regular army to approxi
mately 100,000 men. The bill was framed at
the war department and has the approval
of the secretary of war. It Is not the bill
framed by General Miles, as this measure
has not the high rank proposed by the
Miles bill and some of the appointments
'are open to officers of the 'volunteers, or
from civil life. It provides for a lieutenant
I general and what is considered a sufficient
I increase of major generals and brigadier
j generals to command an army of 100,000
men scattered from Porto Rico to Manila.
I The artillery arm Is reorganized, separat
ing them into coast and field artillery, but
promotion to be by seniority of the whole
arm. A decrease of the enlisted men is
i made, so that the army can be increased
i by recruits In case of war to full strength.
The cavalry Is Increased two regiments, the
I Infantry five. Tho enlisted strength of an
Infantry company Is not to exceed 145, so
i that In case of war new regiments would
(have to be formed, probably all of which
j would bo volunteers, but the regular army
j would make a substantial first line. The
bill provides for the three battalion forma
1 tion. The staff corps are Increased about
i 40 per cent and, with the exception of the
1 adjutant general, inspector general and
ordnance, are open to appointments from
j the olunteers or civ II life.
The most noticeable change Is In relation
to tho medical department. In which pro-
-vision is made for a hospital corps of SOuQ
' piivates with the necessary non-commis-
bioned officers, with a largely Increased
j number of surgeons and assistant surgeons.
All officers and men serving In the sub-
, tropical countries are to have an increase
of 25 per cent in pay. Under the Immediate
control of the president. Inhabitants of the
new countries may be enlisted In the or
ganizations there serving.
The bill gives a total of fourteen regi
jments of artillery, twelve of cavalry and
thirty of Infantry.
j Chairman Hull s bill is cast on entirely
different lines from General Miles' bill, so
' that detailed comparison is difficult. The
1 Miles bill is based on the theory of one
soldier for one thousand population, while
, the Hull bill Is based on the idea of a
total force of 100,000, the organization be
ing constructed so as! to reach that total.
General Miles provides for a general and
for two lieutenant generals, while the Hun
bill mades no provision for a general, and
has but one lieutenant general. Other im
portant differences arc:
Hull bill, thirty regiments of Infantry:
Miles bill, fifty regiments of infantrj.
Hull bill, twelve regiments of cavalry;
Miles bill, fifteen regiments of cavalry.
Hull bill, a corps of artillery: Miles bill,
fourteen regiments of seacoast aitlllery
and two regiments of field artillery.
The Hull bill in its first section sums up
for the reorganized army as follows: One
lieutenant general, six maj'or generals,
twelve brigadier generals, twelve regi
ments of cavalry, a corps of artillery, thir
ty regiments of Infantrj-, an Inspector gen
eral's department, a judge advocate gen
eral's department, a judge advocate gen
eral's department, a quartermaster's de
partment, a subsistence department, a med
ical department, pay department, a corps of
engineers, an ordnance department, a sig
nal corps, thirty post chaplains," the chief
of the record and pension office, the offi
cers of the" army on the retired list, the
professors, corps of cadets, an army cer
vice detachment and band at the United
States military academ, and such other
officers and enlisted men as may herein
after be provided for.
The regimental organization of the artil
lery arm of the army is discontinued, and
that arm is designated as the corps of
artillery. The distinction between coast
and field artillery is similar to the Miles
bill, but more elaborate in detail. The.
Atlantic division of the coast Is defined to
ircludo from the Atlantic to the Guir sea
boards and the coast of tho Great lakes,
"and shall ultimately include the coast
line of the West Indian possessions of the
United States."
The Pacific division is defined to include
the Pacific seaboard, "and shall ultimately
Include the coast line of the various pos
sessions of the United States in the Pa
cific ocean."
The corps of artillery embraces 144 bat
teries of coast line artillery, and twenty
four field batteries.
Each regiment of infantrj" consists of
twelve companies, organized Into three bat
talions of four companies each. The com
pany strength, in addition to commissioned
and non-commissioned officers, is 112 men.
In various staff corps, express provision Is
made that persons who have sered as
officers of the -volunteer armj" In the war
with Spain, and persons In civil life, maj"
be appointed to -various specified grades.
Section 10 is as follows: "Organizations
serving in Cuba, Porto Rico and the islands
of the Pacific maj-, in the discretion of the
president, be recruited ln whole or in part
from tho Inhabitants thereof, to whom the
legal restrictions upon enlistments in the
armj" as regards terms of service, age. cit
izenship, and educational qualifications
i-h-ill not apply, and who shall be entitled
to such pay and allowances not exceeding
those now authorized, as the president may
direct."
NO MORE DUTY FOR WHEELER.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. Major General
J Wheeler probably has seen his last active
service in tne uniteu states armj". He was
at the war department to-day and had a
talk with Secretarj- Alger and Adjutant
General Corbin. It is understood that he
will bo relieved from further active duty
unless there is a recurrence of war, but
that he will remain on the active list of
the United States volunteer army until that
army is mustered out of tho service by the
declaration of peace. This privilege is ac
i orded to him in recognition of his dis
tinguished ssrvices. and will leave General
AVheeler free to exercise his functions as
a member of the house of representatives
during this session. The command of the
Fourth corps with headquarters- at Ilunts
IIIe is now held temporarilj- bj- General

Lawton will be the permament corps com

SEDALIA, MO., Dec. 7 (Special ) It was

of happiness and then sorrow to pretty
Louisa Rugan, of Sedalia. Robert J. Brown.
Miss Rugan's affianced husband, who de
serted his bride at the altar on Mondaj
nlght, has quite an interesting history
When the war broke out with Spain,
Brown was making an enviable record as
an insurance agent in San Francisco, but
he was anxious for a brush with the Dons
and joined the regular armj-. When his
regiment passed through Sedalia last Maj".
hundreds of prettj" maidens were at the de-
fiot to wave tinj" flags and cheer the boys
n blue. Brown saw Miss Rugan and
handed her a hardtack upon which was
written his name, number of his company
and regiment, with the request "write to
me." A correspondence commenced anl
resulted in an engagement. Brown was
among the soldiers who faced shot and
shell at San Juan hill, where he was
wounded while charging the Spanish
trenches. When he recovered from his
wounds he was honorablj- discharged for
phj-sical dlsabllitj" and then camo direct
to Sedalia, making his home at the Rugan
residence. While In the army he became
a slave to drink. He succeeded in hiding
his falling from his bride to be. but it
led him into using his emplover's monej.
Knowing that his shortage with the Insur
ance companj" was liable to be discovered
at anj- moment, he fled the citj" at the hour
his bride expected to be married to him.
