given to all entitled to the franchise with
out reference to the existing state of in

the suspension twice of martial law The
power to postpone these congressional cleo
tons is vested in the president, and they
are often postponed notably when for
some reason or other the session of con-
gress is prolonged past the usual date for
holding the elections. The president could
not, however, order a new election.
Moreover" continued Senior Mendonca
IF the congressional elections were not
legal the presidential election was not
legal either, for they took place at the
same time, yet Da CANA says he will ac-

OF the company, and the third in the name
OF W. 6. Cook, the bookkeeper Senator
Henderson was very particular about this
check, and asked the witness to produce
IL IN order TO show the date on which il
was drawn. He acknowledged that he
wished 10 show that Mr.. Kenney had not
paid in dollar at the time that the con-
Germ was organized. and he hoped TO show
that there had not been share paid for
when the contract was awarded. Mr. Ken
neH was somewhat embarrassed by the re-
quest and refused to produce the check
He finally agreed TO take the matter under
consideration and to give his decision when
he should be called again to the stand for
the purpose Of putting in evidence some
papers that he neglected TO take with him
TO the committee room on Saturday.
The witness said that Mr. Quincy had in
troduced him to Senator Smith and 10 Con-
Sressman Gable, who went on his bond but
that he had himself seen the other bonds
men, Register Tillman Of the treasury and
Judge McCorry. He acknowledged having

company for the current wear. as a basis

was public property. and that IL could be

ielt that the Peters Company. not believ-
ing There would be any opposition. or not
considering him worth noticing IL they

reduction he could get the contract. He
realized that there would be a stif fight

ASSISTANT ARMY SURGEONS.
Private Physicians Having an Army
Service Ask Recognition.

The status of private physicians who
were employed in the army during the late
war as medical officers is sought to be cor
rected by bill which has been introduced
in the House by Mr.. Richards. and referred
to the committee on military affairs. AS
stated in the preamble of the bill, private
physicians were employed agreeably to
army regulations in addition to the commits
stoned medical staff, because the number
of the latter was not sufficient for the ne
CesSities of tine service. These acting as
SiStant surgeons were employed under con-
tract, were obliged to remain in the service
of the United States for stated time They
had allowances the same as commissioned
medical officers with rank of first lieutau-
amt and were accorded the same prOtec-
ton, respectful subordinate conduct and the
same military courtesy from enlisted men
as such commissioned officers. They have
also been granted pensions when disa bled
by reason of disease contracted or injury
received in the military service, under a
law which assimilates them 10 the rank of
first lieutenant of the military or marine
corps. But because they We're not COM
mlSsioned officers they are deu.ed adj
mission to military organ liza tons like the
Loyal Legion and the Grand Army. The
bill proposes to relieve this discrimina ton
by authorizing the President to commits
sion as acting assistant surgeons of the
United States army private physicians who
were employed as medical officers in the
armies OF the United States for period not
less imam three months, and whose services
We're honOrably terminated. The bill, how
ever, provides that no pay or alioWans c
shall be made TO any Such surgeon and the
rank, pay and emolumentS OF commission
ed medical officers shall not be affected 1t
is stated in the preamble that the Dili in
wolves no expense to the government and
makes no change in the relative rank of
officers of the medical corps of the United
States army.
