Argue for Alabama Volunteers.

Argument for the Alabama Spanish war volunteers was made today in the United States court of claims by Capt. c. C. Calhoun of the firm of Calhoun x Sizer and by Benjamin Carter of Washington as attorneys for the state of Alabama in the matter of additional pay due Ala bama volunteers in the Spanish-American war. The attorneys of the United States sought to offset against the amount due the volunteers for their service to the state prior to muster. the amount ths soldiers had been paid by the United States paymasters.
 This contention on the part of the gov ernment was denied by the attorneys of the state of Alabama, who maintained that ongress had provided that volunteers in the Spanish-American war are entitled to receive their state pay and also the United States pay, and denied the right on the part of the government to estab- fish an offset This question affects the pay of tho First and Second and Third regiments of infantry, Alabama Spanish war volunteers, amounting to about s75,- 000 for which the above attorneys have brought suit in the United tSates court of claims. As the question involved is very important, the court will doubtless render its decision thereon at an early date

Washington, March 2s.-(Special. )-Gen- eral Rosser, the youngest of brigadier- generals in the Confederacy, ls said to be slated by the President for the marshall ship of the western Virginia district The general Is now postmaster at Chartottes- vile, having recently been appointed by the President. He does not like the posi- tion' and when he was appointed 1t was with the understanding that more con- genial place would be found for him. He will likely land the marshalship.
 John S. Wise of New York and yir- ginia, who has much to do with the dis pensatlon of patronage in the latter state, was caller at the White House this morning to see the President .If tha President keeps on appointing negroes to office in the north and ex-Confederates m the south there win be something happening to the democratic party in tho south before long" said MT. Wise "The President continued MT. Wise. "is the kind of man that southern people like. and but for the misunderstanding over the Booker Washington incident, and tho unfortunate Indianola affair, he would have never lost the kindly feeling of any, body in the south. He is a good friend of that section and the people will sup port him heartily if they can do SO. No one can deny that there Is more friendly feeling for the President in the south than there has been for any other TO- publican President. unless it was Nc Kinley and this feeling will be immeas- urably helpful to the republicans in fu- ture contests. I shall be happy and con- tented when I see respectable repub- lican party in the south, and I have never been more confident than now that 1t Is coming"

Hillside, H., March 23.-The six-weeks- old babe of Mrs. E. R. Merryman arrived home here today after having been carried 200 miles by rail before the anxious mother discovered what had become of the child.
 Mrs. Merryman and her baby daughter were visiting in nearby town. On re- turning home the mother was met at the train by her sister. Mrs. Merryman was so anxious to get home that she forgot about her sleeping infant and hurried away, talking about her visit. After a time she went to the bedroom where she thought she had placed the child, but the infant was gone. Mrs. Merryman, after collecting her thoughts, discovered she had forgotten the baby. Telegrams were sent after the train and in Iowa the child was found still sleeping. In the care of trainmen the babe was promptly sent home.

 The dispatch continues:
 Not even the enemy has sent us such proclamations, but has confined himsels to throwing into other lines telegrams from foreign agencies about disorders in Russia. Put yourself in the place of the soldiers and officers who returnes from Mukden, fatigued and heartsore from want of success, have received from the distant home proclamations with advice to that tenor"
 e1~taiiib e1ANC ehC AdCluio OL a ltlIPtI- ary nature the correspondent enumerates four main causes of misfortune:
 Four Causes of Misfortune

 8. The deficiencies of many officers. whose mistakes of execution bring to naught the most carefully thought-out plan of the commander, or whose tech nical education has not kept pace with the artillery they are required to handle.
 1. That victory rests not ith the army but with the nation.
 Occupied With Internal Affairs.
 The correspondent pictures the patriot ism, devotion and passionate longing for victory of the Japanese, and continuing, says:
 ''On the other side is a nation where part of the people misunderstood the meaning of this war, or are even inimical, taking advantage of distressing times to attain more liberty The need of greater liberty is undoubted; but Is 1t not pos sible to press the campaign after the war?
 "The country Is entirely occupied with internal affairs, and disor ders, turning it's attention. to the army only occason- ally after an unsuccessful operation, and then only to pour flood of discourage ment or abuse or to send as a palliative to the retreating forces heap of revolu- tionary proclamations.
 Tn concluding the correspondent pleads for a few words of encouragement, and acknowledgement that the 90,000 who fell around Mukden are not unappreciated sacrifices, so that others in dying may tless Inc fatherland for which they fell.

The announcement of the Postmaster- General that there arc to be few changes in the fourth-class postoffices throughout the country is another blow by the Pres ident at the members of Congress, espe- clally on the House side, where 1t has been an nnwritten law that the mem Der could do what with the postoffices in his district as he pleased. The Presidents views on the subject are well known, and In a letter several months ago to a Massachusetts republican congressman. he took the ground that he was the ap- pointing power, and the member had no right to make removals at his will. In many instances the incumbent member and his immediate predecessor are not on good terms, and the postmasters in the districts form a nucleus for a right smart political machine. Under the ruling there is no way for the present member to oust his predecessors appolntees
