Its Closing Temporary. Pending 81 De-
cisiOR as to License Rights.
The closing of the post exchange at FIT
Robinson, Neb is, it is learned. only tenn
porary, pending a decision by the judicial
officers of the War Department, and per-
faps by the Attorney General, upon the
question that is involved, as to the right of
state officials to interfere in the internal
administrati ton of the affairs Of army posts
The matter is giving much concern to
army officers, fer a judicial decision ad-
verse to the post exchange would in most
instances wipe out this institution, which
the experience of several years past has
shown to be of the greatest value in army
administration, as tending to promote
m norality and sobriety and habits of thrift
among the enlisted men,
The question has arisen lately in the
case of the post at Plattsburg, n. Y, and
a judicial decision is also required in that
case. This differs from the Ft. Robinson
case in that there is lacking a specific act
of cession of jurisdiction by the state of
New York to the national government, and
the Issue must be there decided upon the
tasis Of the general act relative to the
administration of the affairs of the army
establishment. At FIT. Robinson the act Of
cession is said to be clear, and there is no
question of the fact that the original act
Pa sSed exclusive jurisdiction over the reser-
walton to the United States 1t is true that
an attempt was made later to recover some
Of this jurisdiction, but inasmuch as this
confined to a state act, without the
acquiescance of the national government,
the other party to the original contract, 1t
is held to be invalid by the officials here
At Ft. Robinson the license sought to be
levied by the local authorities upon .the
post for the operation of its exchange
amounts to $500, a tax that would be pro
fibitive, and it is rumored that if the ef-
fort is persisted in, the post, which is
really of no strategic Importance now, may
be evacuated and the troops sent into some
other state.

Mr.. coBB's SEAT lNcoNGREss
Elections COMMITTEES Decides Against tn.
Alabamian.
If the Report is Adopted the District
Committee Will Lose nm Eek.
pcrienced Member.

The House District committee stands to
lcse one of its oldest and most efficient MEN,
bers in the person of Judge Cobb of Ala
bama, who is to be nnseated in Congress.
The House committee on elections, having
charge OF the contest being waged against
Judge Cobb's seat by Mr. Goodwin, today
decided in favor Of Mr.. Goodwin No date
was fixed for bringing the matter up in the
House, but it is thought there is little doubt
that the House will concur in the commit
tee communications, and that Judge Cobb
will be unseated within a few weeks.
Judge Cobb has been in Congress for
eight years, and during the greater part
of the time has been member of the COM
mittec on the District of Columbia. He has
brought to that committee in the considera-
tion of many important bills the distin-
guished legal ability which qualified him to
hold an honored position on the circuit
berch of Alabama for many years previous
to entering Congress. During his congress
sional career Judge Cobb has endeared him
self to many Of the older members of the
House, and his voice, both in committee and
on the floor Of the House, in the considera-
tion Of public affairs, has always command
ed attention.
Judge Cobb IS a SOLDIER as well as a jur.st
and statesman. He entered the confed-
crate army in 1861 as a lieutenant liz the
fifth Texas regiment, and served until the
prisoner. At the close of the war he locat
ed at Tuskegee in Alabama, and has re-
sided there ever since.
OF course, the question Of who is likely to
be Judge Cobbs successor en- the Distric,
committee has not yet come up for consid.
GRAFTON, and no candidates have thus far
been mentioned. He is a democrat, how
ever, and his successor will probably be
chosen from the democratic ranks.
The minority of the committee will file a
strong report in Judge Cobbs favor, and
will make vigorous fight in his behalf on
the floor of the House.
The decision was reached by party vo.e
There was no republican candidate in ,he
district but the republican vote was large
ly cast for Goodwin. According to the re-
turns, the vote was. Cobb. F,60!; Goowin
99 3. Allegations Of ballot-bex stuffing and
intimidation were made and the committee
decides that Goodwin should have a ma.
jor.ty of about 2,2W. Cobb Is now serving
his fourth term in Congress.
