No Mileage This Session.

Washington, October l9.-An eX-
animation of the statutes now in force
on the subject of the compensation of
members of Congress shows they are
allowed mileage for two sessions only
in each Congress, and that it cannot
be paid to them before the first day of
each Irregular session." A decision of
the First Comptroller of the Treasury
has determined that called session is
not "a regular session." and members
are not entitled to mileage.
