License Granted for Mrs. Mary A Miller as Mississippi River Steamboat Master
In Wasuineres on January 22 a petition for a steamboat master license for Mrs. Mary A Miller, wife of the boat’s owner, was reviewed. The Treasury Solicitor found no legal objection since the law is silent, and the case proceeds toward grant. The license would mark a historic precedent with the captaincy held by a woman. The Mexican treaty moves to secret session after Senate action on Van Wyck resolution. The President announced several appointments including William Christy Wilson, Horace Austin, and Isaac A Gavin, with multiple confirmations by the Senate for receivers, surveyors, and land office officials. The President’s Presidential Succession Bill would place the Cabinet member highest in rank as acting president until resolved, and Congress would convene after twenty days. The National Republican Executive Committee named Hawley as chair and listed members. Other tidbits note a trichinosis outbreak in Wasass, Indiana, and a major coal breaker fire in Wilkes-Barre.
