FREAK OF LEGISLATION

4 Z.
OF Last Congress that Unwittingl,
Gives President Authority TO Ap.
point two. Admirals.
NEW YORK. March GA special
from Washington says: unwit,ingls
Congress. Just before Its adjournment
gave President Mckinley authority tc
appoint two admlrals OF the navy, In.
stead OF limiting the grade to one. as II
undoubtedly intended, The discovery
has just been brought to the attention
OF officials OF the navy department. and
has aroused considerable gossip espe-
cially among the friends OF Rear Admir-
ais Sampson and Schley.
President Mckinley approved on
March 2. IAN act creating the Office OF
admiral of the navy" providing that
the President Is hereby authorized to
appoint by selection and promotion, an
admiral OF the navy. who shall not be
placed upon the retired list, except upon
his own application: ard whenever such
office shall be vacated by death or 9TH
erwise, the office shall cease to exist"
A certified copy of the act was pee
scented 10 Secretary Long by the state
department and the former Immediately
made out the nomination OF George
Dewey to be admiral. The nomination
was confirmed By the senate on March
2, Notwithstanding that the President
had appointed an officer to be "nn ad-
mlral Of the navy" as provided for In
the act when Congress passed the navy
appropriation bill, which was approved
late on the legislative day OF March 3,
containing provision Identical tn
language with the act under which Ad-
miral Dewey had been appointed and
confirmed.
1t has been pointed out that the pro-
vision. like the act. provided for the ap-
polntment OF an officer 10 be an admir-
al by selection and promotion" The
act simply read In both cases "by pro-
notion" Admiral Dewey being the
ranking officer, would have been ap-
pointed, and then Rear Admiral T. V.
McNair might be considered eligible for
appointment as IAN admiral" but as II
specifically stated "by selection and
promotion It is apparent that the
President II he thinks he has sufficient
authority to do so. may select any officer
he may see fit. and as he has expressed
himself only recently in terms OF high
appreciation OF Rear Admiral .Samp-
sons conduct. friends OF the command
er OF the North Atlantic squadron are
confident that II anyone Is appointed ne
will be the man.
Friends OF Rear Admiral SchleF would
naturally like 10 have the honor con-
ferred upon him. but approaching the
temper OF the administration toward
him they do not look for It. They say
also that an interpretation OF the act by
judicial officer OF the government will
show conclus!vely that Congress in
tended that only one admiral should be
appointed. This is the view taken by
Secretary Long. but It is not doubted
that the matter will be brought 10 the
attention Of the President.

German hand: Wishing you u Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year"

Much 'Good

-AtASi SOO0.
Morrow's Kld-ne-oide. the scientific
kidney remedy and backache cure, Is
daily gaining favor in Wheeling. No
medicine has ever been sold In Wheel
ing for kidney ailments, hackache. ner-
vousness, sleeplessness and general de-
bllity that has gained such popular IA
vor as Morrow's Kid-ne-oIds.
We give you the experience Of Mrs.
C. w. Thurlow. OF 23l2 Market street.
who recommends Kid-ne.oids as fol-,
lows: II have been sufferer from dis.
ordered kidneys almost all my life, and
was never able TO get anything that
would cure me. The doctors said my
disease was constitutional; kidney trou-
bile and that I would never be we'll
nsain. us my case was incurable. suf-
fered constantly with ar aching pain
across the small OF my back and this
discharges OF the kidney secretlors were
at times excessive. and at other times
very frequent and scant and attended
with pain.
had about given up all hope Of ever
getting well, believing the doctors were
right when they snid my case was in
durable. when I read about Morrow's
kid-ne-olds and where they had cured
just such cases as mine. As Chls. r.
GoetZe guarantees them 10 cure or re-
fund the money, I secured them at his
store and began using them according
to the directions. II was remarkable
how quickly they gave me relief from
the distressing palms across my back
and the other troubles as well. They are
all the manufacturers claim for them
without any doubt"
Morrow's kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablcta and are put up In
wooden boxes which contain enough for
about Two weeks treatment and sell ct

The GOODNESS with which young Hoyt
made his demand demoralized the trio,
and they were meekly marched to Fair
