A KN0TTY QUESTION
RAISED AS TO THE PRESIDENTS
APPOINTMENT
OF Three Of His Monetary Commissioners to
the International CONFERENCE.-THE
They Consti; utionally
E!igibles

WASHINGTON August 15.-A very nice
question is raised as to the constitution
ality of the appointment by President
Harrison OF Senators Allison OF Iowa;
Jones OF Nevada; and Congressman Nc
Creary of Kentucky, as commi sioners
to the proposed International Monetary
conference. The point involves con-
struction OF the sixth section of Article
/, OF the constitution of the United
States. which reads as follows: mo
senator or representative shall, during
appointed to any civil Office under the
authority of the United States. which
shall have been created, or the emolu-
ments whereof shall have been increas-
ed during such time; and no person
holding any Office under the United
States shall be o member OF either house
during his continuance in Office"
In support of the position that the
of the gentlemen named
are in vi ,lation of this article of the
reference is made to the
TACT that Samuel j. Kirkwood, Mr. Al
lison's former colleague was held to be
ineligible for the position of tariff COM
missioner to which he was appointed by
President Arthur, because that position
had been created by an act of congress
passed during the term of which he was
elected senator from Iowa, although
previons to the passage Of the act he had
his seat in the senate and had
become Secretary OF the Interior under
Garfield. The accuracy OF this ruling
in Mr. Kirkwood's case has been ques-
toned and it is contended that even if
it should be held as good constitutional
law there is marked difference between
a civil office distinctly created within
the borders of the United States with
stated salary and a mere authorization
contained in an appropriation bill for
the president to designate five PERSONS
without fixed salaries or confirmation
by the senate to represent the United
States in foreign service. The leading
law officers Of the department OF justice
are at present absent from the city.
The question will probably be brought
10 their attention on their return.
