NO ADDITIONAL OFFICERS.
Adjutant General Corbin Settles
Rhode Islands Governor

Washington, June 2s.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbln has written the following
letter to Governor Dyer of Rhode Is
lana, concerning question which has
aroused very general inquiry:
In reply to your letter requesting
authority to appoint an additional ma
jor for the First regiment of Rhode Is
land volunteers, now stationed at Camp
Alger, Va, [ have the honor to invite
your attention to the specific provision
in section g. Of the act of April %, 1898,
which provides for raising a volunteer
army as follows:
g Provided further, that when the
members of any company, troop, bat
terry, battalion or regiment of the or
gantzed militia of any state shall en-
list in the volunteer army in a body as
such company, troop, battalion, battery
or regiment, the regiment, company
troop, battery and battalion officers in
service with the militia organization
thus en1isting may be appointed by the
governors of the states and territories
and shall, when so appointed be Off
GERS of the corresponding grades in the
same organization when it shall have
been received into the service of the
United States as a part Of the volunteer
army
Section 5 of the act Of April &c. 1898.
authorizes the president to accept the
quotas of troops of the various states
and territories as organized under the
laws of the states and territories in
companies, troops and batteries each
to contain, as far as practicable, the
number of men in this act from each
arm of the service and regiments of
not less than ten or more than twelve
such companies
1T is held that under these laws,
volunteer regiments of the states to be
entitled to a third major, battalion adj
Jutants or any extra officers not allow
ed in the regular army organiza tion or
with higher rank than allowed for sim
liar officers in the regular army organ
lzatlons, must have been organized as
militia organization under the state
laws and have entered the United
States service as a body with its Off
GERS as so organized 1t may be added
that this is not only a question of or
Sanlz&t1On, but also q question of pay
and it is pretty certain that the ac-
counting officers of the treasury depart
ment will not pass the pay accounts of
an extra officer admitted to the United
States service contrary to the express
provisions of. the law, even if the mus
ter in of such officers shall be author
lied by the war department. 1t is not
seen therefore, how, under the law, a
third major can be now commissioned
and mustered into the First regiment
of Rhode Island volunteers"

The Federation Meeting.

A business meeting of the City Fed
Grafton was held Tuesday afternoon in
the Physical Culture parlors; the at
tendance was fair but not so large as
might have been desired.
The ladies proceeded at once to BUSH
ness and it was decided to combine
with Washburn college and the high
school in giving a lecture course this
coming season; nothing definite has
been decided and all arrangements
nave been left in the hands of the COM
+. Carver from the federation, Mr.. Nc
Eachron of Washburn, Mr. William
Davidson of the schools and Mr. L. D.
Whittemore of the high school
Mrs. S. A. Thurston introduced a mo-
ton that the federation give an enter
tainment of some sort to raise money
Tor the hospital fund of the Kansas
regiments; in a short talk Mrs. Thurs
ton showed that she had made a study
of the subject and knew what she was
talking about; she said that the Kan
SaS regiments have remained true to
their principles and have not establish
ed canteen. The Otner regiments
have canteens and it is the proceeds
from these that are used for the hos
pitfalls and our regiments have no way
in which to raise money.
Mrs. ThurstOn'S ready mind had a
plan in view which she proposed; Mrs.
J. Ellen Foster is making a tour of the
western states and she suggested that
the federation bring her to Topeka to
give her lecture on the Cuban question,
entitled War for Peace" After a little
discussion of ways and means the mo-
ton was carried unanimously. The ar
rangements have been left in the hands
of the committee but it is probable that
the lecture will be given at Hamilton
hall and the tickets to cost only 10
cents; at this rate several thousand
