With the approval of the Secretary of
War, Surgeon General Sternberg has ar
ranged for the immediate appointment of

the new army law. These surgeons will be
employed as contract dental surgeons under
the terms and conditions applicable to army
contract surgeons. They must be graduates
of standard medical or dental colleges

fessOnal examination.
One provision of the act is that three

with the approval of the Secretary of War
with reference to their fitness for assign

vision the Secretary has appointed the fol-
lowing dental surgeons to be members of
an examining board TO examine applicants

The board will meet in this city on the

law Will be spared the trouble and expense

A statement issued by Admiral Hich-

try. The big battle ships Maine and Mis-
souri, have each advanced per cent to-

the Ohio and Illinois, which latter is IS per

each. The sheathed protected cruisers all
stand below the 10 per cent mark but an
average advancement of nearly per cent

of volunteers commissioned in those depart

MR.. BRYAN'S VIEWS.
Bill Making the Standard Silver Dol

Iar RedeemabIe i'm Gold.
tee on coinage, today received from Will
liam J. Bryan the latter's view of the pend
ing bills before the House making the
standard silver dollar redeemable in gold.
After thanking the committee for the cour-
tesy of inviting his views. Mr.. Bryan says,
in part:-"The bill has a double purpose:
First to convert standard silver dollars
into subsidiary coin, and, second, to make
silver dollars redeemable in gold on de-
mand In discussing the subject, however,
1t will be more logical to consider the lat
ter proposition first, as redemption is only
step toward retirement.
"There is no necessity for redemption.
The legal tender law win maintain the
parity between gold coin and silver dollars
SO long as both can be used to an unlimited
extent in the payment Of public revenues
and private debts. l should perhaps say
that the parity will be substantially MAIN
tanned, for local and temporary conditions
may under any law put a small premium
upon any kind of money"
Mr.. Bryan cites the premium on silver In
New York in 1893 caused by the local de-
mand for small change. He also cites Sena-
tor Sherman in support Of his statement.
Proceeding, Nr. Bryan says: "As soon as
the silver dollar is made redeemable IN
gold another endless chain will be created,
and the arguments used against the green
backs and treasury notes will then be
turned against silver. Before the attempt
to burden the gold reserve with this new
obligation is consummated, 1t may be worth
while to consider the opinion expressed by
Secretary Carlisle in 1S9J'

The civil ceremony of the marriage of
Queen Wilhelmina to Duke Henry of Neck

gram.
Immediately afterward the procession
started for the church, headed by fifty hus-
sars, the bride. bridegroom and queen

drawn by eight horses. They were warmly
acclaimed by the crowds assembled.
The church was reached soon after noon.
Court Chaplain's Address.
The court chaplain, DIR. Van der Vlier,
standing before the bride and bridegroom,
delivered an address. His text was from
the fourth Psalm: Lord, lift Thou up the
light of Thy countenance upon us.
''The festala hour has arrived said the
pastor wherein the entire people has its
share of delight. The prayer contained in
the text embodies the essential conditions
for lasting married happiness, which does
not depend on external things, but on the
disposition of the heart. The prayer for
the light of the Lords countenance seems
to suggest some darkness, and 1t is certain
clouds will show themselves at times in the
conjugal heaven
lnlS union WHICH we tOudy are CeleDTdl-
ing has already demanded sacrifices. The
husband has had to leave his country and
people and the bride has had to leave the
side Of a dearly loved mother. In the fu-
ture, too, be sure; the reverses of life will
fall to your lot Do not then forget the
prayer of David: Lord lift Thou up the
light of Thy countenance upon u.s. 1t
will be necessary for you, if you are to
fulfill thoroughly the duty of marriage, to
fulfill the duty Of love, in your mutual re-
lations.
In that relation man is the head and
woman is the heart. The psalmists prayer
will also be your help when you have to
bear your mutual burdens, for in marriage
two sinners are united. each having his and
her own faults. Finally, it is Indispensable
to the unity whereto you have been called.
The Nuptial BenedlctiOn.
According to the command of God.
These two shall be one Now, only love
can form and preserve this tie. But If you
wish this bond not to be loosened your
hearts must be filled with prayer. Lord,
lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance
upon us -

telegram was received at the War De-

Adjutant General Corbin says that the
37th Volunteer Infantry will be mustered
out as soon as Congress shall have made
provision for the allowance of travel pay
to their homes to the officers and men OF
the organization. Existing law authorizes
travel pay to places of enlistment, but it so
happens in this case that the regiment was
organized in the Philippines, and unless
remedial legislation is enacted and the men
are discharged at San Francisco they Will
have to get to their homes the best way
they can at their own expense. The same
conditions affect three four other regi-
ments In the Philippines shortly to be re-
turned TO the United States. To meet this
condition Congress has been urged to pro-
vide for the allowance of travel pay from
San Francisco to their place of original en-
listnent in this country of all volunteer
soldiers who re-enlisted in the Philippines.
No difficulty will be experienced in the
case of volunteers who enlisted IN this
country. as existing law covers their cases.
The plan of the War Department is to dis
charge all the Philippine volunteers at San
Francisco and there give them travel pay
to their homes, so far as possible
