HoNoRs FOR BEN FoULoIs.

Benjamin D. Foulois, who is with his regiment in the Philippines, has just beenappointed Second Lieutenant U. s. Army. The following is an ex- tract from letter from Major French of the Nineteenth Infantry, to Sena- tor O. H. Platt:
 "Sergent Foulois, whom Captain Smith wanted to have promoted, passed successfully before an examin- ing board in Iloilo, and has been rec commended for commission. l was member of the board and the papers were sent here few ago for my sigma ture. 1t will take month for them to get to Washington, where they must be acted upon in connection with similar papers from other parts of the army, so as to determine the prece- dence. Consequently, 1t will be from two to three months before the ap-. pointments can be expected. It would not be at all surprising if he should be one exception, all of our second lieu tenants get their promotions under the new Army bill. The sergeant is a clean, sober man and brave and con- petent soldier. It is pleasure to recommend such man for promo tion." "-[Stray Shot.
