The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-05-25

WASHINGTON, May 24-In the eX-
ecutive session of the senate today
there was some discussion of the char
ac.er of men who would be chosen to
command the immune regiments. Sen
ator Money was the principal speaker
and he expressed doubt as to whether
it would be possible to raise regiments
of men who had had yellow fever in
case officers for such organizations were
taken from the Northern states, and
were men who had not been subjected
to this disease.
There were two rolls on the executive
session, one of them being upon the
confirmation of N. S. Walpole, of Col
orado, to be agent of Pueblo Indians in
New Mexico, and the other upon the
confirmation of James J. Power, of
Pennsylvania, to be receiver of public
moneys at Perry, Oklahoma There
were adverse reports against both on
the ground of non-residence, but both
were confirmed by considerable major
tiles.
