"oLD FoaY" PAY.
Attorney General Miller has given an opin-
ion 10 the Secretary of the Treasury on the sub
iect Of longevity pay, which is of considerable
interest to the Army generally. 1T is in effect
that the recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court that Cadet service at the Mill
tary Academy should be counted in computing
longevity pay cannot be made TO apply TO cases
which have been settled by the accounting Off
GERS of the Treasury, notwithstanding they
were settled without making allowance for Ca
Diet service. The opinion is based upon thea APP
plication of Capt. John w. Pullman. of the
Quartermaster's Department, TO Second Comp
troller Gikerson, for the reopeninG of bis case,
so that he might be allowed the benefit of the
decision of the Supreme Court. A large num-
Der of similar claims were filed amounting to
nearly 100000. Under the Attorney-Gen-
erals opinion these cases having once been set
tied are at an end and cannot be reopened.
VETERANS IN THE CITY
Capt. William ID. Wetherell, Co. A, Sth Ohio.
st. Louis, Mo. Capt Wetherell came to the
city last week as one of the Committee APP
pointed by tho citizens Of st. Louis to present
the reasons why that city should be selected as
the site OF the Worlds Fair in 1892. Tho
Captain did not appear 10 be very sanguine OF
success for ST. Louis, however, but thinks Con-
grcSs will mako grave mistake by not select
ing the big city of the Mississippi Valley for
the location, as it would give foreigners y
chance To see the resources of our country If
they were compelled TO travel from the Attain
tic Ocean TO the Mississippi River.
