WILLIAM CAREY SANGER,

Named To Succeed Assistant Secre-
 tary of War Meiklejohn.
 New York, March GA Tribune special from Washington says: The president has selected William Carey Sanger of New York for assistant secretary of war. in succession to George D. Meiklejohn. of Nebraska, who has held the office for the last four years. The nomination would have gone to the senate some time ago had not the administration, which Is most warmly disposed toward MT Meiklejohn, feared that the acceptance of his resignation might injure his prospects for one of the two vacant Nebraska senatorships. 1t Is thought that the announcement need no longer be delayed on this account, for 1t is now the official conviction nt Wash ington that he is certain to win either the long or short term in the sennte. Colonel SanSers nomination may, therefore be sent to thu senate for confirmation in q day or two. Colonel GeAgefs seryice n Inspector general li7cSe ISE:S l h33 I .fb 4ts 6ln fos Wokk IT

Terms Have Expired and Illegal E!ec
 tion Leaves Offices Vacant.
 Rochester, \. Y. March 6.-To-day there are nineteen vacancies, in theory. at least. in the board of, super visors of this (Monroe) county. Last August the board adopted q resolution declaring in favor of poStponing the time of holding town meetings from the first Tuesday i'll March until gen eral election day in November. It was assumed that by postponing the date of election the terms of all town officers expiring on March , were ex- tended until December 31. Nothing further was thought of the matter un- til the attorney general rendered an opinion that the supervisors had no right to change the date of election and to extend the terms of office. A remedy was attempted by Assembly man Salyerds by procuring the pas sage of a bill two weeks ago legaliZ- ing the action of the board of super visors in changing the date of election, but it was held that the legislature had no right to extend the terms from March until December As q conse- quence it is discovered that the terms of all the rural supervisors expire March , and that all of them are at the mercy of the members of the town boards. As figured by lawyers, if the town board took no action, the supervisors held over until their sue cessors were elected but if the town board wished to convene and elect another man as supervisor, then tne former man had to vacate.
