WASHINGTON, March 5.-Tne House
Committee on Military Affaias has nearly
completed the consideration Of Banning's
bill making various changes in the organ
ization of the army. The Committee ap-
prove the general notifications proposed
by him.
The Postmaster General to-day decided
that members of Congress have illegal right
to become sureties on bonds accompanying
bids for mail service The Postmaster
General also decided that bid submitted
by j. B. Price, citizen of the State of
Missouri, could not be regarded as invalid
on the ground that bis wife is one of the
sureties thereon, as she is possessed of suf-
fcient property in her own right.
Another decision of interest rendered
by the Postmaster Genaral is to the effect
that certain bidders. Messrs. Brott, of
Texas, and Price, of Missouri, who are
not actual owners of steamboats,, cannot
be awarded contracts for steamboat mai
service and are not relieved from the pro-
| hibition of the law on this subject, bJ
showing that they have secured charters
for the use of steamboats, conditioned up
on obtaining mail contracts.

election law by the Utah Legislature tn
