Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribu.s-
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2a.-A1nong the
army officers just retired is Judge-Advocate-
General Dunn. There is quite 4 contest
among the officers who desire to succeed
him. Alaj. David Swain, who has recently
been acting as Secretary for Gen. Garfield, is
mentioned rs likely to be appointed to the
place, although it would be necessary to pro-
mote him over six other officers to do SO,
Acknowledgement Deyens is also suggested
in this connection. There is q curious piece
of gossip IT'S to Deyels' appointment. It is
known that he desires place upon the
United States Supreme Bench, but as
Clifford, the Judge from Deyens' circuit,
DOES NOT DIE, AND WILL NOT RESIGN,
it is Impossible to appoint him, and there are
doubts expressed whether Garfield would
appoint him. II is now suggested that the
plan of Devells' friends is to secure for him
the appointment Of General,
which will place him above Swain, and that
under Gartiold's Administration, when Cliff
ford shall dlc, it may be that Garfield would
appoint Deyens to the Bench, aud that in
this manner Swain could become Judge-At-
yocate- General and Devens also have his de-
sire satisfied.
To the IVtstcr71 Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, u. c., Jan. eat is stated
that Justice Swayne, of the United States SIT
preme Court, will resign early next week,
and that ex-senator Stanley Matthews, Of
Ohio, will be nominated.
