GE ENL. SICKLES' PAY.
Paymaster General Smith Refuses to Pass
Upon the Question.
The Treasury Accounting Omcers to
Decide Whether He Holds Two
Omces at This Time.

The officials Of the War Department will
not pass on the case Of Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles and will pay him his salary as q
major general on the retired list, regardless
of the fact that he Is also drawing a salary
as a member Of Congress. The Constitution
of the United States provides that a mem
Der Of Congress-, while serving as such,
shall hold no other Office under the govern
ment and the only question presented in
this case Is whether an officer on the re-
tired list Of the army holds an Office
within the meaning Of that provision.
Paymaster General Smiths Action,
The question was recently presented to
Paymaster General Smith Of the army In
connection with the usual quarterly pay
ment Of Gen. Sickles' retired pay. After
full consideration Of the question he has
declined to pass upon it, preferring to leave
1t to the judgment Of the accounting officers
Of the Treasury Department.
The payment has been made and its al
lowance or disallowance will devolve on the
second auditor and the second controller.
who will pass on the accounts Of the pay
master who made the payment. While
making no .pretense at a decision In the
matter, Gen. Smith is inclined to the belief
that, as retired officers are not appointed
and confirmed and really render no service,
but are pensioned for previous services,
tney 90 not nOlC Onlce wtthin the mean
ing Of the constitutional provision.
The Action of the House.
In the case Of Gen. Sickles. inasmuch as
the House OF Representatives, with full
knowledge Of the situation. established his
eligibility for membership. the paymaster
general thinks 1t is not for him to say that
Gen. Sickles has forfeited his right to pay
as a retired officer of the army. He has
relegated the question to the accounting
officers Of the Treasury Department and
they are now called upon to decide the
question whether a man who draws Day as
member Of Congress can at the same
time draw pay as an officer on the retired
Naf o.

SENATOR GIBSON ILL.
He Has Another Attack in the Senate
Chamber Today.

Senator Gibson OF Maryland was taken
suddenly Ill this morning in the Senate with
another attack Of heart trouble. For several
days MIR. Gibson was confined to his room
at the Shoreham with the same trouble, and
only returned to the Senate when the test
of physical endurance was inaugurated. lie
was at that time not well. but remained at
his post as long as was advisable. He ap-
peared to feel no Ill effects from the siege,
and has been more or less constant in his
attendance at the sessions OF the Senate
since. This morning he was sitting at his
desk when he suddenly became faint Touch
ing his colleague, Mr.. German, he rose and
motioned him to follow, and slowly walked
to the cloak room. Inside, Mr.. Gibson said
he was fainting and asked for a stimulant
This strengthened him and he was able to
walk slowly on the arm of MIR. German to
the adjoining room Of the committee on ap-
propriations where he sat down on one of
with these attacks to assume a reclining
posture. DR.. Strickland was the first to ar
rive and other physicians were hastily sum-
moned. This occurred at 2:45 o'clock.
DR.. Walsh, Mr. Gtbson's family physician,
arrived subsequently and said that the Sem
ators condition was not serious; he was
resting easy when he arrived. 1t appears
that Mr.. Gibson has been attending the
Senate sessions against the advice Of his
doctor. Senators Voorhees, and German
plead with him not to stay at the Capitol,
assuring him they would protect his pair,
and, If need be, make a public statement.
But Mr.. Gibson worried over the statements
in some of the New York papers accusing
him of forsaking the cause OF repeal and
remained in the chamber. and the results Of
today followed
At about o'clock the Senator had re-
covered sufficiently to be taken to a car
riage and then driven to the Shoreham. His
complaint is due largely to his irregularity
in eating, for he sometimes suffers many
hours to go before he breaks his fast. This
habit is due to his energetic attention to
business and his disregard of the need of
system in matters gastronomic.
Late this afternoon Senator Gibson had
been removed to the Shoreham and was
resting easily.
In response to an inquiry at the Shoreham
late this afternoon 1t was stated that the
Senator's condition had greatly improved.
