MAJOR-GENERAL WHEATON RETIRES |An Interesting Situation Occasioned by the Vacancy. Three Brigadiers May Possibly Be Promoted in Con- sequence. This Would Open the Way for Advancement All Along the Line. ASHINGTON, D. C., May 8.—Major- ral Wheaton, commanding the | Department of Colorado, was placed on the retired list of the army to-day on account of age. Colone!l William M. Graham, Fifth Artillery, formerly stationed at the Pre- sidio, but now at Fort Hamilton, N. Y., is in Washington, and had an interview with Senator Perkins to-night. He is anxious to be a brigadier-general. The contest for the com:ng vacancies in the grade of major-genersl and brigadier- general, has become exzeedingly lively. Asked who would succeed Msjor-General Wheaton, Secretary Alger replied: “Briga- dier-General Brooke, in ail probability.” A considerable majority of the officers of the army on duty at the War Depart- meht are of the opinion that General Brooke will be appointed. There are a jew, however, who believe that General Forsyth will be the fortunate man. That ffort is being made to secure this s selection there is no doubt. Whether it will be successful remains to be seen. The report was current at the War De- partment yesterday afternoon, and some of the best-informed officers said it seemed to be well founded, that the President is seriously considee: the aavisability of advancing General Forsyth with the un- derstanding that he will immediately re- tire. Anolh:.!r report has it that the President Iso thinking of promoting General Blics when General Forsyih retires. The latter officer will retire on account of age in Avgust, 1393, and the former would leave the active list April 17, 1899. Gen- erzl Brooke does not retire until July 21, 1902. Itisa fact that some of the friends of General Brooke are sumewhat appre- hensive at the prospecis. They have tele- eraphed the general to come to Washi ton immediately, and his early arrival is expected. From what is said at the War Department Secretary Alger favors the promotion of General Brooke. Nothing definite can be learned asto President Mc v’s preference. Spould it be true that he intends to ad- vance Gererals Forsyth and Blissin suc- cession on condition that these officers retire immediately afterward and that General Brooke woul!a tten he advanced he would have at his disposal the ap- pointment of three major-generals in the army at once. This is most unusual, but tbat is not all; each major-zeneral ap- is pointed means a vacaney in the grade of HAMMOTH SALE - O Ladies” and Children’s Muslin Underwear!

Therefore the Presi dent can, if he chooses, appoint in the next few days not oniy three major- generals but three brigadier-generals. It is an interesting fact that Senator Mark Hanna 1s working in the interests of Gen- eral Forsyth. : Of the colonels who may become brig- adier-generals in the event of the three vacancies occurring the names of Colonels Anderson, Mizner and Frank sre now most prominently mentioned. The friends of these officers are legion, it is said, at the War Department. Many other colonels who are aspirants for the sin not without friends in social and political life, who are doing all in their power for their favorites, but their adherents seem, at least, to be less numerous. 1f General Brooke is promoted the guess at the War Department is that Colonel Anderson will be selecied. He is not the senior line colonel, but he retires in Jan- uary, 1900, nearly a year before the senior colonel, Merriam. Colonel Poland’s name is also spoken of quite favorably at the War Department. The names of at least a dozen colonels and their records have been considered. Secretary Alger said to a revresentative of THE CALL late vesterday afternoon that the gquestion of the selecticn of a major- general and a brigadier was discussed at the Cabinet meeti but that no conclus sion was reached by the President. Sergeant Lenyke Thomas, Piesidio of San Francisco, will be discharged from the service oi the United States by the commanding officer of his station. Captain Rogers Birnie, ordnance de- partment, will proceed to Benicia arsenal, California, Fort Stevens, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on official business under such instructions as he may receive from the Chief of Ordnance, and upon the completion thereof will return to his station in this city. ity GUSSIP IN AxMY CIRCLES. Mojor Darling May Be Sent to a More Important Poet Than Brussels. WASHINGTON, D. C:, May 8.—The re- fusal of the President todetail Major John A. Darling, Third Artillery, Presidio, of San Francisco, as military attache at Brussels has caused a good deal of gossip in army circles here, as this refusal is ex- pected to have an important bearing on the question of social precedence at the Presidio. The Army and Navy Register says: An officer will be detailed for this daty shortly. The vosts at London and Paris were under consideration this week. General Alger is in favor of having our army repressnted at the different coun- tries abroad that are advanced in the science of war. He will not only fill all vacancies, but also increase the number. The military information division, he bs- lieves, should not be so cramped as it has been, but stould be given every oppor- tunity to secure the valusble information which can only be obtained by our having a representativ WHITE GETS N0 SATISFACTION Secrotary Alger Declines fo Give the Senator Ay Promise With Regard to San Pedro Harbor. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, May & —Senator White's interview with Secretary of War Alger about the improvement of San Pedro Larbor was not satisfactory to the Senator, ard he plainly gave the Secre- tary to understand that be would intro- duce in the Senate and urge the passage of aresolution demanding te. know what steps (if any) bad been taken by the Sec- retary of War to carry out the act of Con- gress, and if no steps had been taken to give his reasons for delay. Senator White understood from his talk with Secretary Alger that President Mec- Kinley, and, indeed, the entire Cabinet, were anxious about National finances and did not want to pay out of the treasury a dollar more than was absolutely necessary. Senaor White tried to explain to the Secretary that not a dollar would be re- quired for ‘over a year, but Alger would not give-the Senator any definite promise to advertise for bids. The Senator left the Secretary in an ugly frame of mind, and determined to introduce his resolution in the Senate on Monday. Secretary Alger is aware of his intention and is now pre- paring his answer to send to the Senate. — o ADMIRAY MEADE'S FUNERAL. Servicss in Church Fotlowed by @ Volley Orer the Grarve. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., May 8.—Solemn requiem high mass was celebrated yes- Thursday at St. Aloysius Church over the body of Rear-Admiral Meade. A large uumber of people, including many army and navy officers, were present. The casket was draped in the stars and stripes, and on_the cover were the hat and sword of the dead officer and a number of floral tributes, including a pennant. A battalion oi Ubied States marines, led by a marine band, escorted the re- mains to the Arlington National Ceme- tery. The marines fired a volley ober the grave. Tue honorary pall-vearers were: Rear-Admiral Walker, Commodores Borto, Dewey and Farqubar, Captains Schley, Crowninshield and O'Neil and Colonel Charles Heywood, commandant of the Marine Corp: esaiga s U For the Annezation of Hawati. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 8.—Repre- sentative King of Utah introduced a reso- lution providing for the annexation of Hawaii. The resolution declares that the territory may be received into the Union whenever the Government of Hawali shall cede it to the United States, the President to receive it by proclamation and Coneress to make laws for its govern- ment. It s provited that the laws for the exclusion of Cninese shall spply to the islands and no Chinese_there shall be permitted to enter the United States, The appointment of a commission of three by the President to act with a like commission of Hawaii is provided for. prae e MoKenna Slated for the Place. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 8—A Washington dispatch in a Richmond (Va.,) paper siated that Justice Field would resign and that Judge Goff of West Vir- ginia would be appointed to succeed him. This was reaa with interest by Califor- nians here, but no one credits its truth. Both Senators White and Perkins say McKenna has bsen selected as Field’s successor_and they have no knowledge that Mr. Field contemplates a retirement. They believe he will serve as long as he is able to perform his duties. —_—— Two Sisters Found Asphyxiated. NEW YORK,N. Y.,May 8.—Two women, sisters, Frances and Sarah Porter of Phil- adelphia, were found dead in bed in a room on West Fourteenth street this morn- fag. The room was full of gas, which had eacaped irom a cock parily turned on. There was nothing in the room to indicate that death was intended, and it is believed that it was wholly accidental. yar e aiin Gillig Lingers tn Ludlow-Strest Jail. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 8.—Henry G.

Two Well-Backed Candidates for the Chilean Mis- sion. Colonel Calhoun Recelves His Final Instructions and Leaves for Cuba. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 8.—Busi- ness at the White House opened this morning shortly aiter 9 o’clock, and it was long after 6 o’clock to-night when the President had cleared his desk of corre- spondence and left the office to join his family. The rush for office snows no signs of abatement, fuily as many place-hunters being on hand to-day as at any time since the President was inau urated. Colonel Calhoun, wko started to-night on his mission to Cubs, was the first caller. He received his final instructions and then went to the State Department, where he examined the correspondence in the Ruiz case. A large delegation of Republicans from Kentucky, headed by Senator Deboe, called on behalf of Dr. Godfrey Hunter, who withdrew from the Senatorial race. Hunter is an ex-Congressman and is now contesting & Democrat’s seat. He insists that he isnot a candidate for office, but his friends would like to have him ap- pointed Minister to Chile. President McKinley was to-day invited to attend the s-mi-centennial celebration of the founding of the Mormon church at Salt Lake on July 24 by a delegation com- posed of Judge Burch of the Snpreme Court of Utah and Georse Q. Cannon, fatherof Senator Cannon. A similar in- vitation was also extended to the Cabinet. Senator Knute Neison and ex-Senator Warner Miller also called. Henry L. Wilson of Spokane, brother of Senator Wilson, is being urged as Minister to Chile. Wilson originally apnlied for the mission to Japan, but now that it has been given to Colonel Buck, he has shifted bis application. The Navy Department is having trouble in finding a satisfactory ship to carry a cargo of grain to the indian famine suf- ferers. Congress appropriated money to charter a vessel of between 2000 and 4000 tons displacement, and left the matter with the Navy Department. Assurance was given the department.to-day by peo- ple who are managing the philanthropic scheme that the grain will be ready in New York whenever the ship is secured; but the rignt sort of bodt cannot be found. The naval paymaster at New York had three biz sailing vessels on his list, but two of them were unsatisfaciory. The third seemed to be all right, and the de- vartment wanted to charter her, but the owners secured another cargo, and she has sailed away, leaving the department ina quandary. TO ERECT AN IRISH PALACE. Byg Fair to Be Held in Now York Cily by Sons and Daughters of the Emeraid Isle. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 8.—A great Irish fair will be given at the Grand Cen- tral Palace beginning Monday, the pro- ceeds to go toward the erection of an Irish palace building to cost at least & quarter of amiliion dollars. The building is de- signed to shelter all Irish-American or- gavizations under one roof. Itis proposed through this fair to heal all th: differences that have from time to time arisen among lLrisk-Americans, churchmen and laymen, soldiers and civilians, Catholics and Protestants. heme isdue to the ingenuity of Colonel James Moran of the Irish Volun- teers, an independent reziment organized ayear anda half ago under the auspices of the Clan-na-Gael, the ‘‘physical force” faction in Irish politics. This_regiment “‘cut in” on the Sixty- ninth Regiment of the National Guard, which has always been an Irish organiz tion. This action embittered the friends of the Sixty-ninth, who have not accorded the plans of the Irish Volunteers the heartiest support. It may be expected, therefore, that the success and bruliancy of the coming fair will depend largely on those Irishmen who stand for the ideas represented by the old Fenian spirit. A board of trus- tees has been selected to handie the funds, among the trustees being Recorder off, ex-Mayor Grant, General James R. O’Brien, ex-Judge Browne and Colonel William L. Brown. . The fair wili be largely under the direc- tion of the women represeniing the thirty- two counties of Ireland. The ladies iden- tified with the fair have been connected with the advancement of the volunteers since their organization. Their presence in the management is taken as an evidence that a large part of the funds derived by the fair will be used to erect a fine armory for the volunteers, the other features, such as lecture-rooms, etc., being incidental to the military util- ity of the proposed palace. . ‘Among the exhibits the most interest- ing will be a veritable piece of the Blarney stone, imported for the purpose, and the real swoid of Brian Boru. Great enthu- siasm hus been shown in the preparatory work, and Irishmen throughout the country will watch with int rest this ef- fort to crystalize Irish sentiment in Greater New York, S ST BRINGS COPIES OF THE TEEATY.

Scruggs, who arrived to-day from La Guayra, brought with him duplicate copies of the Venezuelan arbitration treaty re- cently approved by the Venezuelan Gov- ernment. Scruggs, who was formerly United States Minister to Venezuela, is one of the lawyers who represented that country in the treaty nezotiations.

The members of the various committees to-day inspected the arena, bicycle wack and other features of the interior. The United States regulars and members of the Illinois and Wisconsin National Guard, wno are camped in the grounds adjoining the Coliseum, are doing some bard training.

DETROIT, Mick., May 8.—Judge Car- penter in the Circuit Court to-day granted a mandamus uyon the petition of Conrad Pfeiffer for the Board of Education to show cause why the reading of the Bible | should be further continued in the public schoois. Pleiffer set up in his petition that his son, as a pupil of the schools, was obliged to attend religious worship, and that he himself as a taxpayer was com- pelled to assist in maintaining places for the dissemination of religious teachines, contrary to the State constitution. The direct charge was that a book entitled | ‘“‘Readings From the Bible,” introduced | by the school board, was read to the | Eum_ls every day.

All the Machinery of the Adminis- tration Used to Secure Morse Expedition. WASHINGTON, D. ¢, May 8.—Con- gressmen who have talked with the Presi- dent regarding the Senate tariff bill say McKinley, while not entirely pleased with the proposed measare, is nevertheless so anxious to get some sort of a tariff bill through as speedily as possible that he is not inclined to criticize the bill severely. Talkin - with personal friends the Pres dent excuses the faults of the bill, saying the Republican members of the Finance Committee were brobabiy forced against their will to put in certain features not in lhine with past Republican measures, but which nevertheless will produce the re-. quired revenue. These Congressmen say, from the tone of the President’s remarks, they feel confident he will be entirely sat- isfiea if the Senate bill becomes a law. The President, however, is very deeoly concerned at the prospect ot a long debate iu t e Senate, and proposes during the next few weeks to use all the power of the Fedoral administration to harry the bill as rapidly as possible, so it can get to con- ference at an early date. Icis eaid those appointments made dur- ing the next few weeks will have a direct bearing on the tariff question. In other woras, when appointments can be made for the purpose of gaining friends for the tariff bill they will be made. Friends of Senator Jones claim he has twelve Republican votes besides his own in favor of the stand he has taken for duty on hides ana other schedules in which the | far West is particularly interested, and these men will not yield, no matter what | may be the demands of their Eastern col- leagues who are opposed to a duty on hides. Prominent merchants interested in the | hide and leather schedule baye taken quarters at the Arlington Hotel. They will use every means to fight the pro- posed duty, and will not give up until the bilt reaches the President. 1128 Market Street.

PRESCOTT, Aniz, May 8.—In the gen- eral shake-up incident to the transfer to the Santa Fe of the Atlantic and Pacific road, Seligman, seventy-two miles north- west of this city, is to become one of the most important points on the line. The place was once known Prescott Junc- tion, having been the initial station of the Prescott and Arizona Central Railroad, abandoned for several years since the ¢on- struction of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Pheenix road. Its main disadvantage has beea the scarcity of water. This is to be remedied by thie construction of a dam in alarze valley near by. Work on the structure has already com- menced, several hundred teams veing em- ployed in the necessary grading. Nine hundred carloaas of Portland cement has been ordered for the dam, which isto be forty-five feet in height and which is to cost at least $100,000.

SOLOMONVILLE, Ariz, May 8— George Cluff, for the pasttwo years Pro- bate Judge and School Superintendent of Graham County, has been found guilty in the District Court of forgery and will be <entenced Mey 28. The conviction has created a profound sensation, for Cluff, though a young man, is known through- out the Territory and has been held in the highest esteem. For years he was super- intendent of the public schools of Pima. Four years ago he was the candidate of the Republican party of Arizona for the office of councilman at large. He is mar- ried and is a prominent member of the Mormon church. Six indictments were found against Cluft by the Grand Jury, all charging him with fraudu'ently raising the figures on teach- ors’ vouchers for pay. The charge on which he was convicted was that he had raised a $30 voucher to $34, An especially unhappy feature of the case lay in tne fact that the voucher had been issued to the sister of the prisoner, she thus being com- pelled to become a witness against him. A plea for mercy isto be made on the allegation that Cluff for tue past year hi been mentally unsound A i British Warship “ails for Honduras.
