the largest in population, and in area it
is larger than any county in the district
1t is a laudable ambition for any county in
the district to furnish the congressman
and Washington county desires this honor
at the approaching election.
Al the next Democratic congressional
convention Washington county will pre-
sent the name of one of her most distin-
guished citizens, DR.. William Rawlings.
who has served the county in both
branches of the state legislature and is
now a member of the Senate. He is thor

people, and is one of the most extensive
farmers in Georgia. He was reared on a
farm and has been engaged in agriculture
all his life. He has many strong friends
throughout the district who viii rally TO
his support, and he will also receive the
unanimous endorsement of the Democrats
of his native county. He is a thorough

MEDICAL EXPENSES,
Bill to Reimburse Those Who Served
in the Army and Navy.

The House committee on military affairs
has made favorable report on House bill
ms, relating to reimbursement for medi-
cal expenses of those who served in the
almy and navy. The report says:
The purpose of this measure is so self
evident and just that the bare statement
of the proposition would seem to be all that
is necessary to justify favorable considera-
ton of the same. The facts are that many
officers, non commissioned officers and en-
listed men who served in the army and
navy during the recent war with Spain
upon sufficiently recovering from their i'll
ness to endure the journey, were sent to
their homes on leave or furough, by proper
authority, i'll order that their restoration
to health might be more rapid and COM
plete than If they remained in the field or
in army hospitals. In many instances they
required medical care and attention while
they We're at home on leave or furlough
and were Obliged to become inmates of pri-
yate hospitals
During this time they were no expense
to the government, and the indebtedness
incurred by them for physicians service
and medicines, nursing and hospital bills
amounted in many cases to a larger sum
than their pay as officers, soldiers or sea
men. As the dill restricts its application
to those whose sickness or disabilities were
incurred by them through their military or
naval service in the war. ii seems very
proper that they should be reimbursed for
is no authority for doing so.
THE bill was submitted to the surgeon
general of the army, who, under date of
January %, 1899. earnestly Recommended
its passage. stating also that there then
were on file in his office many claims for
the care of sick or wounded soldiers while
on furiough. which he considered Just and
proper, but which could not be paid under
existing laws and regulations.
The Secretary OF War. under date of
January 26, 1899. respectfully returned the
bill to the chairman of the committee on
military affairs of this House, inviting at
tention to the report of the surgeon gem
eral of the army and concurring in the
views therein expressed. AS the passage
of the bill is recommended by the surgeon
general of the army. VINO is most familiar
with the circumstances relating TO the
cases which will be affected by the meas
ure and his recommendations are concur
red in by the Secretary of War, and as
the proposition seems just and righteous in
itself, your committee recommend that the
bill do pass.

RESENT THE CONCESSION
Seattle Business Men Protest Against High
Commission Acts.

SEATTLE. Wash, February s.-A report
from Washington that the subcommittee of
the American joint high commission would
concede a port ON Lynn canal, Alaska, to
Canada in return for fishing concessions on
the eastern coast has aroused considerable
resentment
THE American members of the high
commission have about made up their
minds to cede a port to Canada on the
Lynn canal, said #. C. Graves. president
of the chamber of commerce. There can
be no doubt OF it, he said. II had a tele-
gram last night from Representative w.
l.. Jones of Yakima5that this course would
be adopted, and today several kilograms
have been received that corroborate the in
formation. "a h
business men in addition to the chamber
have, been using every effort to counteract
the determine zion that has been arrived al.
and quite a nulnber4of kilograms have been
sent to Pacific, coast, senators, the American
members of the commission, Governor
Brady and in short, every one able to ex-
ert an influence against the ceding OF any
territory on the Lynn canal"
Other leading business men voiced the
sentiments expressed by Mr. Graves and
said in strong terms that proposition to
cede American territory would work seri-
Gus harm to the commerce of the Pacific
coast.
