ADJUTANT GENERALS RANK.
Legislation Desired That Will Increase
That Officers Paw.

1t is probable that at the coming session
of Congress an effort will be made to OBJ
tain legislation which will give the officer
acting as adjutant general of the army the
rank and pay of brgadier general during
such service. Major General Corbin is in
command of the department of the east and
Col. William P. Hall is acting as adJutant
general. The idea of the proposed legfsIa-
ton is that the officer who is doing the
work of the office should receive the pay
Of that office. although there are many
instances where subordinate officers have
performed the duties of their superiors
without the title and compensation attach
ing to the place.
AS simpler means of reaching the same
result in the adjutant generals department
1t Is suggested that General Corbin might
vacate the office of adjutant general and
be made major general In the line. and
that another officer. naturally Colonel Hall
as the senior officer of his grade, be ap-
pointed adjutant general, with the rank Of
brigadier general.

MOVED FROM KENOVA,
Norfolk and Western Makes Quick
Change of Terminals.


a dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
Roanoke. Va. says: Owing to the action
of the town authorities of Kenova w. Va.
in quarantinng against the Norfolk and
Western railroad employees entering that
town, the railroad division terminal was
yesterday removed to Portsmouth. Ohio,
and now the division runs from Williamson
to East Portsmouth.
The tracks were all cleared for the re-
moval of all necessary equipments. Nearly
300 trainmen who have had headquarters
in Kenova will hereafter be in the Ohio
town. They are temporarily quartered in
the Armstrong property, which Is later to
be converted into railroad Young Men g
Christian Association building. Men began
work fitting up the house with beds, cook
ing utensils and all other necessities, and
by night it had been transformed into a
large hotel.
The cause of this sudden move on the
part of the railroad company Is the action
of the town authorities of Kenova in quar-
antining against Williamson, Ceredo and
other nearby towns In which smallpox is
said to be prevalent
SO far as to bar out trainsmen and even
denied them supplies and the right to eat
there. because they had passed through
towns infested by the disease.
The steps taken by the authorities there
have forced the railroad company to adopt
prompt measures in order to protect it's in
terests and those of it's employees One hum
dred and forty-eight of the railway compa-
nys shopmen are under quarantine at Ke-
nova.
For the present only train crews will be
moved to Portsmouth. but 1t Is said that
eventually the entire railroad population of
the town. numbering considerably over 5OO
will go to Portsmouth.
