THE CONGRESSIONAL TANGLs.

The attempt of the House to assert
its prerogatives and compel their recog-.
milton by the Senate is resulting anpleas-
antly for Gen. Wood and 167 other Army
officers, whose promotions depend upon
his. The Senate Committee ON Military
Affairs is hearing charges the object of
which is to defeat his confirmation as
Major-General. Under the Constitution
his nomination and that of all the others
who gain a step by his promotion, fall
with the end of the session, unless con-
firmed by the Senate. The President
could, however, Immediately renew them
during the recess, when the nominees
would enjoy the rank and pay of the
grades to which they were nominated un-
til the end of the regular session. But the
House and Senate refused to adjourn
not even for minute. so that there was
no opportunity to make recess nominal
tiOns. A nice question is raised as to the
Presidents prerogatives, and several ways
have been suggested of getting around the
difficulty, but it looks most likely that Gen.
Wood will have to resume his rank of
Brigadier-General, and all the others fail
back to their former grades until the Sem
ate gets ready to act. Another complica-
ton rises: If the nominations fall with
the end of the extra session, the Com.
mittee on Military Avairs has nothing be-
fore it to consider, and so on.
1t is felt as quite probable that the Sem
ate will eventually confirm Gen. Wood as
a Major-G General. for the President stands
firmly by his friend.

POLITICAL NOTES. :

What is felt to be'a highly important
interview took place last Thursday be-
tween Senator Arthur P. German and the
Tammany bosses. Leader Murphy, of
Tammany, has heretofore been favorable
to Cleveland for the Presidency, and after
Cleveland's withdrawal was supposed to
favor Parker. until he felt that he and ID.
B. Hill were entirely too intimate. Now
he has turned to German, and it looks
as if the Maryland Senator was being
groomed for the favorite in New York.
The organization of German Clubs has
begun in West Virginia.

BATTLE OF FRANKLIN.
The Society of the Army of the Ohio Cele-
brates It's Anniversary.

The Army of the Ohio celebrated the
39th Anniversary of the Battle of Frank
lin by a big banquet at the Ebbitt House
the night of Nov. 30. Covers We're laid
for about 200, and from o'clock to mid
night the members and guests spent a
most enjoyable time.
The business session was held in the
long red parlor of the Ebbitt, room
which is rich in historical memo
ferences of the closing days of the war
having been held there. The program was
opened by the reading of paper by
Lieut.. t.-Gen. John NJ. Schofeld, who was in
command of the Army of the Ohio at that
time, and who was unable to be present
at the anniversary meeting. 1t was an
interesting, detailed account of the battle
and the events leading up to it, and was
received with appreciative attention and
applause. The paper was read by Prof. j.
Fraise Richard, Secretary and Historian
of the Army of the Ohio.
Another paper, by Capt. s. F. Moore.
11Sth Ohio, descriptive of the Battle of
Franklin, and written in excellent style
in rhyme. was very dramatically presented
by Miss Bertha p. Wolf
The very able manner in which Capt.
George Redway presided as toastmaster
at the banquet added much to the pleasure
of the evening. After Distressing IL most
excellent supper, Gen. Thos. J. Henderson
was introduced to read a splendid paper
on the battle, in which he commanded the
Third Brigade, Third Division, Twenty

Gen. Henderson celebrated his 10Th birth

Some 81 years ago the young bride of
Speaker Cannon was visiting her husband

slipped off her finger and never could be

in the soil thrown up. On examination it
was found to contain the initials of Mr.,

alone and friendless on the bleak
mountain side near Leadville. The

James. james was found dying on
the hill lside about four hundred feet
from the miserable shack where he
has lived for several months. Police
Captain Tim Lydon and Officer Olsen
were notified that the man was dying
and they started with an express wagon
and started to take him to hospital.
When they reached the man he was
dead. From the condition of the
body it was at first supposed that the
man had taken arsenic with suicidal
intent and Coroner Howell was noti-
fed. The Coroner took charge of the
remains and made an examination
which satisfied the authorities that
James had died from dissipation and
had not committed suicide by poison.
james was 40 years old and came
to this city from Butte, Mont. last
August Since he came here he has
had no visible means of support
he never seemed to be in

TOpeka'S Trouble.

Hundreds OF lives and millions OF
dollars worth of property have been
lost in the floods and storms that have
ragged through Kansas, Nebraska,
Missouri and Iowa during the last few
days. North Topeka, a suburb of
Topeka, Kan, seems to have suffered
most heavily. for itwas visited by two
destroyers, fire and water. People
who might have escaped from the
flood were burned to death in their
houses, while others were drowned
in efforts to escape from the fire.
In this one place the death list is said
to contain not less than $50 names,
aud the total may run considerably
above that figure. The sympathy of
the nation will go out to Topeka in
its hour of distress.
With the sympathy will go admira-
tion for the manner in which the peo-
pie there are facing the catastrophe.
Offers of help were made. as offers of
help are always made to the suffering
in this great, big hearted country, but
! the people of Topeka say they will be
! able to succor their own.
That is the sort of spirit which
overcomes all obstacles, but there is
such thing as being too self-confi-
dent. The Topeka people must re-
