NAVAL VACANCIES
That Are Open to Competition by
Civilians.

There are more vacancies IN the navy at
present open to civilian competition than
usually fall to the lot of a President in a
single term. Six of these are in the medical
department and four are in the pay corps.
The disposition of the case of Paymaster
Sullivan, now before the President, will
probably make another vacancy in the pay
department. The examination for admission
into the medical department is much more
severe than for the pay corps, and the
candidates for appointment in the latter de-
partment are naturally much more numer-
Gus than for the medical corps.

counting in the Post Office Department, and
for other purposes. The joint commission

are that it will be the policy of the repub-
licans generally to make no party oppo-

that all three of these territories will be
admitted, but If there is any serious op-
