recess, further consideration of the old
question involving the right of the President
to fill vacancies in the army by regular pro-
motion or by selection, and as conse-
quence, to postpone action upon the pend
ing large batch of army nominations.
An amicable understanding has been az
rived at by Senators Edmunds and Maxey
in regard to the bill to amend article JOB of
the rules and articles of war, upon which
measure Senator Ednlunds pre-
vented action because of his belief that the
bill as framed would stand as bar to the
prosecution of embezzling judiciary agents,
as we'll as deserters, after lapse of three
years. The result Of this understanding is
that the ideas of both these Senators have
been carried out, and the bill was passed in
form that suits both of them. Tho orig
inal article 1O3 remains as it now stands on
the statute books, and Maxey's amendment,
slightly altered to suit the case, is added. As
adopted by the Senate to-day, the bill reads:
