Favorable to Army Bill Reaches Broad Accord
Administration and minority in Congress reach a compromise on the army reorganization bill. The plan envisions an army of 109,000 with 53,000 in a provisional force to serve through 1901, retains a full staff corps as in the Hull bill, and aims to preserve features while easing minority objections about permanent regular establishment growth. It is seen as reducing the risk of an extra session.
