Effect of Adjournment on Gen. Woods
Position

The prevailing opinion of Senators is
hat the extra session expires by limitation.

that all nominations that have not been

begins at IL o'clock Monday.
The distinction between a nomination
made in recess and one made In session

Under this Interpretation Gen. Wood will

mates him to he naior general he cannot

receive the salary of that office until his
