The city government has now furnished
the Cadets with a sufficient number of
rifles Permission has also been given by

probably pay for equipments, when IT has
been decided what kind Is the most suit
able.
The following privates have been made
lance-corporals: waddell, Waldron, Dris-
coll, Blight, Merrill ana Wilson.
The battalion is now drilling for the

battalion drill by companies A ana c, q
fancy drill by company B, and the setting

eramms a success by its lad hustling."
Some of the Deering High boys have
expressed q desire to join the Cadets, and,
although IL Is too late for them to take

The following Ia the story of what Mrs.
williams, wife of Capt. r. Williams Of
che Seventh Artillery, now commandment
of Fort Prsble. accomplished in Washing
ton, as told by the Washington correspon-
dent of the Boston journal:
ANY officer now in the army who
graduated at the head of his class Mt West
Point and who is not in the Corps OF
Engineers, may be appointed thereto
had II he had been appointed on the day
| of graduation"
This appears In the army bill 1tiwas
put there in spite OF the disapproval OF
the war department, and notwithstanding
an adverse report by the military COM
mittees OF the Senate and House. Three
times the proposition was voted down.
Nevertheless IL Is today law, and tn Q
credit belongs to an attractive woman,
the wife of Capt X. Williams of the 9TH
ARTILLERY, now stationed at Fort Preble
in Maine. Mrs. Williams won great
victory. Her husband was graduated at
the head Of his GLASS in 1870. but did not
get into the engineers where the top grad
yates 90 when there are vacancies This
bit of Legislation is to do him Justice.
Gen. Wilcox, at the head of the Engineer
Corps, said IL would not do because Capt,
Williams had not been an experienced
engineer. The war department repulsed
the plucky woman and the military com
mittee denied her prayer.
In her distress the captains wife found
a helper in the person of Mrs. Belknap.
widow of Grants secretary Of war. Mrs.
Belknsp knows how to do things 10
Washington. Senator Allen of Nebraska
is a chivalrio man. The case was laid
before him and he became the champion
of Mrs. Williams. He blocked the army
bill until the military affairs committee
| was forced to surrender and accept the
amendments or see the measure fail
When at last the bill went TO the Presi-
dent with the amendment in, Senator
Allen walked out into the marble room
and received the thanks of Mrs. Williams
and Mrs. BelSnap. who were waiting for
the result. 1t will be necessary now to
obtain the Presidents action. Congress
would authorize the transfer, but would
not make 1t mandatory on the President.
1t is said that Capt Williams was In ig-
norance of his wife's efforts until the re-
| suit was achieved.
The law applies to one other officer, Ma
| ior Birney of the Ordnance Department,
who graduated first in his class, but
missed the engineers because there was
no vacancy. II the President carries out
the provision, Birnsy will jump 10 ma
jors, and Williams pass all of the captains
and eight majors. Gen. Wilson has filed
protest against the transfers.
