GRIEVANCES OF SURGEONS.
Claim That Governments Promises
Have Not Been Kept.


All acting assistant surgeons of the
United States army who served during the
war with Spain, many of whom are still in
the army, have been invited to attend a
mass meeting to be held in New York city
on the 9TH proxlmo, for the purpose of eff
fecting an organization and obtaining legis-
lation from Congress fixing their legal
status as officers of the army.
1t is claimed that the burden of the medi-
cal and surgical work of the Spanish war
was borne by the nearly 1000 acting assist
ant surgeons of the army, who, though
chiefly young and inexperienced, were
usually competent, devoted and brave, deal
ing often and successfully with new forms
Of disease and important sanitary problems;
sometimes dying on the firing line, often of
disease; frequently exposed, overworked
and ill-fed: having only the shadow Of rank
and authority, and, while poorly paid de-
prived of paI of their stipulated compenSa-
ton by the rulings of treasury officials.
In the circulars just sent out it is stated
that. in accordance with an agreement
made at the time of their enlistment, the
acting assistant surgeons were to have re-
ceived the rank and pay of first lieutenants
on the staff when mustered out, but that
their legal status officers in the army
has in consequence. been left undeter-
mined. 1t will also be requested that each
late acting assistant surgeon receive pref
erence for appointment over those who have
not had previous service in the medical
corps of the army or navy or the marine
hospital corps

Georgetown Game Thursday.

Georgetown will play the Baltimore Med
ical College foot ball team on Thanksgiv-
ing. After having arranged all details for Il
game with Washington and Lee the fallow-
ing telegram was received Saturday;
1--WE have a satisfactory game arranged
with Blackbury for Thanksgiving. VIII
combine with them and play you on
Thanksgiving for $500 or option of 90 per
cent of the net gate receipts"
The Georgetown management was not a
little surprised to receive this telegram
after everything had been already salts
factorily settled about the Thanksgiving
game with Washington and Lee University.
Georgetown knew nothing about the
Blacksbury players who were to combine
against her; nor did she like the idea of
the Washington and Lee either arranging
a game with her, when they already had a
game arranged with the Blacksbury team.
or arranging it with Blacksbury after hay-
ing agreed to play Georgetown on the same
day.
Moreover, the demand for $500, or option
of 90 per cent of net gate receipts after
having agreed to accept 35 per cent or
$50, did not make a favorable impression
Hence, all tnings considered, the George
town management thought 1t better to drop
the Washington and Lee team and secure
a game with some other team.

GOLD STANDARD AND EXPORTS.
Japan Investigating the Effects of Its
New Policy.


New Policy.
Consul Lyon of Hiogo, Japan, under date
of October ., sends to the State Depart
ment an extract from the Kobe Herald,
an English journal published at that port,
setting forth the view taken by the Jap
anese consul in New York in regard to the
effect of Japan's gold standard on trade
with America. The extract reads:
The following is the substance of re-
plies received by the Nagoya chamber of
commerce the other day from the japanese
consul in New York, of whom the local
chamber made inquiries some time ago
with regard to the business conditions pre-
vailing between New York and Japan since
the adoption of the gold monetary system
in this country:
inquiry from the chamber-'Has there
been any feeling on the New York market
against our country on account of It's adop-
ton of the gold standard?
'Answer-'The export trade from New
York to Japan is showing signssof develop
ment year after year, and these signs We're
especially marked last year. Though such
advance of trade is not wholly attributable
to the adoption of the gold system at home
yet II is noticeable that the export mer-
chants at New York are greatly benefited
in the transaction of business, for there
has been no serious change on one side
or the other since Japan adopted the gold
system
"Inquiry-'Did the adoption of the gold
standard in Japan tell disadvantageously
upon export business from Japan to New
York?
"Answer-'No; not at ALL Owing To tho
stoppage of fiuctuation in exchange. all
the principal articles Of merchandise such
as raw silk, tea, etc, entering New York
from Japan are maintaining most ad-
Vantageous position in the field of COM
China

CANDIDATE. OF THE MINORITY.
Considerable Interest in the Fight
Over Spenkership Nomination.

The minority of the House of Represen-
tatives are in great miX-up over the Sc
lection of their candidate for the speaker
ship. Mr.. Richardson is here with rooms
at the Metropolitan. De Almond at the
Varnum, Bankhead at the Riggs and Sui
ger at Chamberlin's all active, avowed
candidates for the honorary nomination.
The friends of each are making an active
canvass and as much interest Is manifested
among democrats as if the honor sought
were not altogether empty.
Further complications are introduced into
the contest by the fact that some Of Mr..
Bailey's friends insist that they intend TO
vote for him in spite of his declaration that
he will not consent to be a candidate, and
by the fact that the name of Mr.. Lanham
of Texas has been suggested as a dark
horse candidate. The expectation is that
their caucus will be held Saturday morn
ing, unless the republicans occupy the hall
of the House for a Roberts caucus at that
time, in which event they will meet Friday
night.

screams and the blows which the murderer
gave his victim.
He gave an alarm as Ashton went out of
the house. Officer Phil Brown of the third
precinct was notified, and, seizing a by

asked for the lieutenant, and said he
wanted to be locked up.

Satisfactory Condition of Fortified
tions on Western Harbors.

Maj. Gen. Miles, commanding the army,
has returned to Washington after tour
of inspection which included the military
posts and Notifications on the Pacific coast
and Gulf of Mexico. The general says he
had not been on the Pacific coast for three
years, and he found that the work had
progressed in a most satisfactory manner
He visited the forts on Puget sound at the
mouth of the Columbia river, San Fran
cisco and southern California, at Galveston
the mouth of the Mississippi river and at
Atlanta, Ga. Gen. Miles says that since
the beginning of the Spanish war the work
on national defenseS has progressed more
rapidly than ever before. The use of
money from the emergency appropriation

pushing the work Although the fortifica-
