Army Promotions.

Washington, May 26.-Promotions
in the army will now go on, as the sem
ate has decided that the report of the
Burnside committee was disposed of.
It will be remembered that the judic-
iary committee reported some days ago
that under the law which prohibited
promotions until the Burnside plan
could be disposed of there could be no
promotions in the army, because Of the
failure of congress TO act upon it, was
not disposal of the plan. This report
was sustained by nearly all of the DEM
ocrats, and by Senators Edmunds and
Hoar, republicans, and was, opposed by
all the other republicans and several
democrats. Those who were most ac-
tive in securing thedefeat of the commit
tee were Logan, Chandler, Mcmillan,
Burnside and Plumb. Senator Burn
side offered an amendment to the com
mittee's report declaring that promo
tions were lawful, and this amendment
was adopted by vote of 26 to "a.
There is a great deal of congratulation
among officers over this result, as there
are about 200 promotions pending.

The Wool Market.

Boston, May 25.-The wool market
has been very much excited during the
past week. Buyers were quite numerous
and every available lot of wool was
sought after. The transactions foot up
1887, 900 pounds, of all kinds, but it
is also understood that about 1000, 900
pounds of California have been placed,
to arrive, which will make the total
sales of the week about 100000
pounds. The sales would have been
larger if the assortment had been bet
ter. The new clip should be forwarded
as early as possible, as all early arrivals
are likely to meet a ready sale at full
prices. In fine woods there was very lit
tie done, owing to the reduced stock.
Great activity in pulled woods con-
tinues unabated. The sales have been
largely in Colorado wools, comprising
1862, 100 pounds of spring at 10000
and 953, 900 pounds of fall at 13(01s
cents
