PERMANENT MILITARY STRENGTH. Congress to Increase the Army to On Hundred Thousand Men. ' NEW YORK, August r.-On of tha Important matters which will occupy th attention of congress at Its next session will be the legislation to Increase th strength of the permanent military estab lishment, says the Washington correspon dent of the Tribune. Chairman Hull, of the committee on mllrt&ry affairs of Itha house of represen tatives, who is In Washington, where ha expects to remain until early In Novem ber, Is devoting much attention to th subject and has already discovered that the war removed some of the more form idable obstacles which hindered and final ly prevented the enactment of satisfac tory law for the reorganisation and In crease of th strength of th army at the last session of rongress. Early ln th coming session he will in troduce a bill to correct th defects In the existing law and Increase th strength of the army on a, piece footing of 100,000 enlisted men. He feels confident that the measure will be passed. The strongest opposition to the reorgan isation bill .last winter -and spring cam from the representatives of the national guard organizations of various states, and it was effective to a considerable ex tent. The experience :f the last four months, there is reason to believe, has convinced that element as well as a preat many congressmen who surrendered to Its In fluence, that the opposition wad Ill-Judged and unreasonable and that a reasonaDly strong regular army thoroughly equipped and organized on a modern basis would be a benelit rather than a drawback to the national guard organisations.
