Wer Department officials authorize the statement that no orders have been issued to mustering officers directing them to ac- cept all regimental officers of volunteer troops appointed by governors of states, re- @ardless of physical disqualifications. In a few cases, where governors were partic- ularly anxtous to commission certain offi- cers who, ordinarily, would be rejected on the ground of physical disability, the mus- tering officers have been instructed to ac- cept the services of the officers, but in each case a special dispensation has been re- quired, and a special notation of the dis- ability has been made for the benefit of the government. Hereafter it will be diffi- cult for the officers so accepted to secure @ pension, as they will have to show clear- ly that the disability for which the pension may be asked was due to their service in the present war. War Department officials are very much averse to the acceptance of any men or officers who are not perfectly sound physically, and the exceptions that have been made were in face of the protest of the department. —_——__—_o—____ EX-SENATOR CRAGIN DEAD. He Was for Yeurs ai Prominent Figure in Public Life. Ex-Senator Aaron H. Cragin of New Hampshire died in this city yesterday. For many years Senator Cragin was one of the most prominent figures in public life in Washington. He was a man of strong characteristics. He was one of the organ- izers of the republican party, was a close personal friend of both Grant’and Lincoln, and voted for N. P. Banks for Speaker of the House of Representatives when that vote stood for a blow at slavery. He was born in Vermont in 1821; was admitted to the bar in 1847, after which he moved to New Hampshire. Five years-later he was elected to the state legislature, and was first elected to the House of Representa- tives to serve in the Thirty-fourth Con- gress. He was a delegate to the national convention which nominated Lincoln. He was elected to the Senate in 1864 and ‘were taken to Lebanon, N. H., today. —_—_—__e_____ Increased Imports of Sugar.

May 10, 1898, at of Wash: BRETT A. 6 DIES OF HEART DISEASE Charles Wheatley, Well-Known Business Man, Suddenly Expires, Mr. Charles Wheatley, a member of a well-known family, died suddenly yesterday afternoon shortly before 2 o'clock, at one of the branch offices of the firm of Wheat- ley Bros., of which he was the senior mem- ter. He visited the office at 7th and Khode Island avenue yesterday afternoon, and was engaged at work, when he was setzed with jeart trouble, from which he died al- most immediately. The remains were re moved to the home of his brother, William Wheatley, at 3111 N sireet, where they were prepared for interment. During the early part of yesterday Mr. Wheatley eppeared to be in excellent health. The firm of which he is at the head was composed of himself, William and Samuel Wheetley. Mr. Walter Wheat- ley, who was formerly connected with the firm, but who left some time ago, happened to be xt the same office on business. The deceased was talking to his brother Wal- ter when he was seized with the fatal ill- ness. Just as he was abcut to utter a re- mark his head dropped and his body fell to one side of the chair. His brother Wal- ter immediately caught hold of him, pre- venting a fall to the floor, and a physician Was a: crce summoned. Dr. F. E. Maxcy, who resides at 12th street and Rhode Isl- and avenue, was called, but when he reached the office life was extinct. The news of the death quickly spread. All of the branch offices of the firm were notified of the sad event. A number of friends of the aeceased came to extend their sympathy. The suddenness of the death wes a great shock to the families re- lated to him and to their friends. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Francis Wheatley, who was the found- er of the well-known lumber firm. Orig- inally it was known as Wheatley & Son, ard was established over half a century ago. At the death of the father the other sens were taken into the business, and the firm name was Wheatley Bros. The mai office was 3034 M street, while branch o?- fices were established at 7th street and Rhode Island avenue and 9th street and Rhode Island avenue. Charies Wheatley was bors in 1837 at the old home in George- town. He received his early education in Georgetown, and at the outbreak of the war, his sympathies being with the south, | he joined the confederate army. He was assigned to the Ist Virginia Cavalry, ther under Gen. Fitzhugh Lec. He participated in all of the marches and battles of the regiment, and after the war joined his father in business. Of the family there are three brothers and one sister surviving. The latter is Mrs. McCullough of Norfolk, Va., and she is expected to reach the city tomorrow morning. William Wheatley, another mem- ber of the firm, started on a business trip to Boston Monday, and attempts have been made to reach him by telegraph, notifying him of the death. The deceased was un- married. He was of an exceedingly chari- table disposition, and many beneficiaries will mourn his loss. He was a member of the Confederate Veterans’ Association, the only organization to which he was at- tached. Full arrangements for the funeral will not be completed until late this afternoon. The remains will be interred in the family lot at Oak Hill cemetery tomorrow. Serv- ices will be held at the chapel in the ceme- tery, to be conducted by Rev. Dr. J. B. Stitt, pastor of the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church, assisted by Rev. Dr. Stuart, bids for armor for the battle ships Mlinois, Alabama and Wisconsin.
