WASHINGTON, Jan, 16.—[Special Telogram tothe Bre)—=The army Rezister for 1887, which will appear in a few days, will show among many euriosities of prowotions one which is unparalleled in tho history of thearmy. A cadet in the class of 1885 at Weost Pointa few days beforo graduating struck a elassmate and was court-martialeds He was sentenced to the gouard house until (ot August, His connection with the ates (rom that time. All his class- had been assigned to their regiments and there was left to him notning but the “dernier ressort,” a single vacant second lleutenantey in the Seventh cavalry, and ho took that. This cadet, who 18 Lorenzo P, Davison, a Wisconsin boy, appointed to West m Lowa, had stood well up in his 58, somewhere about tenth, He would ae- cordingly have had a chance to make a good lection of reziments, and ho desired to enter the Sixth cavalry, which of course is a crack regiment and in- which at that time several promotions were expected. In last year's Register Davison's name appeared at the tail end of the wholo army. His name was last on the list of second lieu- tenants and there were 428 ahead of him. 1In a few months Davison swapped places with alicutenant in the Eleventh in- fantry, iis was the luckiest move he could possibly have made. There have been seven vacancies made in this reziment during the past year. Captain Wyckoft, Oavtaln Jacks son and Captaia Whitney have been retirea, Major Swan was transferred to the adjutant- general’s office and Captain Beach resigned. In conscquence of these vacancies four of the first licutenants in the regiment were promoted. Subsequently two of the first licutenants were retired and seven second licutenants have been promoted to first lieus tenants and now Davison stands with but one man between him and a tirst lieutenancy, Itisalmosta certainty that within a year and a half he will recelve this promotion, Among the tirst lieutenants in the Eleventh intantry who came from West Point, to show v tardy promotions usually are, nono has 1 less than seven years a ‘second lieutens ant, one eight, another ten and ove eleven, Some comment is heard in army_circies about the nomination of Henry D, Humph- reys. of ldanho, to be a second leutenant in the Twentieth infantry, which was sent to the senate last week by the president. it is stated that Humphreys is a _civilian, and the oflicers who are talking about the matter pointed out that In the military academy ap- propriation bill which was passed in 1578 cons gress provided that in time of peace civillans not graduates of the military academy should be appointed second licutenants in the army only when more vacancles exist than will be required in the assignment of the next grade uating class of West Point cadets, To this is added the statement that there are now eleven vacancies in the list of sccond lieutens ants while the class which will be eraduated at the nllitary academy this year has over ulxtg members, ~Humphreys has been a cadet at West Point, bat failed 1n his examination, GENERAL PORTER AT LI ON.
