eENAre CONFIRMS NOMINATION
As MAJOR GENERAL AFTER
PROLONGED CONTEST.
Five Democrats Vote With Republican
Majority UNFOLDING Presidents Ap.
pointmsnt, Only Sixteen Senator'S
Holding Out Against Confirmation.
Death Of Senator Hanna Admitted
to Have Weakened the Opposition.

Washington, March 1s.-By the &C.
ton of the senate in executive session
Friday Brigadier General Leonard
Wood became major general, taking
rank from Aug. 8, 1908. the day Presi-
dent Roosevelt made the promotion.
The contest against his confirmation
has been a notable one, beginning Nov.
10. 1903, soon after congress con-
vened in special session, and continu-
ing through the present session until
Friday, when, by vote of As to 16, the
nomination was confirmed. The late
Senator Hanna was recognized as the
leader of the forces opposed to Cen
eral Wood and had it not been for his
death before the disposition of the
case, it is conceded that the vote
would have been much closer. 1t has
not been believed at any time since
the contest opened. however, that the
fight against confirmation would be
successful.
Five Democratic senators voted with
the majority in favor of confirmation.
Dependent upon the confirmation of
General Wood were 1877 promotions
for other army officers. These have
been held up since their nominations
were made by the president, but now
will be confirmed without opposition.
They include twenty colonies promot-
ed to be hrigadier generals on the re-
tired and one brigadier general on the
active list, and officers ranking from
colonies down to second lieutenants.
As all no doubt will be speedily con-
frmed according to military authority
they will take rank and pay from the
time they were first appointed to fill
vacancies
