WASHINGTON, Sep 2l.--The question
whether Gen. Daniel l.. Sickles, now a
reprepresentative in congress, is entitled to
draw pay of n retired army officer while
a member OF the house, which was freely
discussed at the time Of his election, yes
terday formally came before the paymas-
ter-general of the army and was referred
to the secretary of war for decision. In
submitting the question the paymaster-
general says, that until an authoritative
rule 10 the contrary is announced, no OBJ
lection will be made TO the pay accounts
ot Gen. Sckles covering periods subse-
quent to March 4, 1893 He calls atten-
ton TO AN opinion of the attorney general
and says that, in consonance with this
opin on, it is understood that Brig. Gen.
Rosecrans, while receiving the salary ap-
propriate to his rank also received for more
or less of the same period the salary of
register of the treasury
unfortunately the paymaster- general
says, 1.-The practice of the accounting Off
GERS of the treasury department does not
always strictly conform to the army rcgu-
lations While there is no disposition in
this Office TO discredt Gen. Sickles' certifi =
cate, or to give him annoyance in any
way, it is still thought advisable at this
stage TO submit to superior authority the
question as TO his right TO be paid his army
