Lieutenancies from Civil Life Have
All Been Promised.
WASHINGTON Star.

The existing vacancies in the grade Of
second lieutenant in the army include nine
teen in the cavalry, thirteen in the artil-
lery. seventy-five In the infantry, and four
teen in the corps of engineers. There are
sixteen vacancies in the grade Of first lieu
tenant In the Ordnance Department. These
may now be filled by detail from among the
second lieutenants of the line. The eligf-
bility Of second lieutenants ought TO replete
the diminished personnel of the corps
There are two vacancies In the inspector
generals department, and one vacancy in
the pay department and all three will be
filled by details from the line.
While there are thirty-five vacancies or
the grade of second lieutenant TO be filed
by appointment from civil life, IL is stated
at the War Department that these places
have all been promised. and that there re-
mains only the official designation of those
who are assigned for examination for pro-
motion. 1t is expected that the vacancies
in the Junior grade of the army will be
largely absorbed by the West Pointers and
those promoted from the ranks. The first
class at West Point has a numerical
strength of ninety-three, and in all esti-
mates provision is made for that number
of graduates. 1t is expected also that the
promotions from the ranks will be more
numerous than usual

tiny of the text of the bill itself showed
that the persons whom Mr.. Brownlow
