Retirement of Army Officers.

SEVERAL PROMINENT OFFICERS TO GO ON THE
LIST sHoRTLY-wHO WILL SUCCEED THEM.
The subject of retirements in the army will be
one of the first which will be brought to the
attention of President Arthur. Gen. Mcdowell,
major general will be one of the first officers to
be retired. He is over 62 years of age and would
have been retired in place of Gen. Ord, had it
not been for his personal relations with the late
President. Gen. Terry, who is a brigadier, will,
in all probability, be promoted to major general
to fill the vacancy caused by McDowelrs retire
ment. Gen. Terry is not graduate of West
Point. His promotion would be compliment
to the volunteer forces Of the army during the
late war. Quartermaster Gen. Meigs will be re-
tired. Col. Rucker. of that department, who is
father-in-aw to Gen. Sheridan, will be his first
successor, as the program now runs Shortly
after the latter's appointment he will retire
to be succeeded by Col ingalls,, who is the
friend Of President Grant The latter's incum-
bency will also be very short he retiring at his
own request. Then Col. Holabird. who is re-
garded as one of the ablest officers of the army.
will be made quartermaster general. With him
the quartermaster generalship will rest In the
medical department of the army Surgeon G en-
eral Barnes will be retired. Col. Crane next on
the list to him, will be made surgeon general
In the pay department Paymaster General
Brown will be put on the retired list to be sue
eeeded by Col. Mcclure. The changes as above
will fill all the vacancies now existing on the re-
tired list but in their regular order. Coils. Ben
ham, McCOmb and Thorn, of the engineer corps,
will be retired.

Senate Scenes To-day.
THE POSITION OF SENATOR DAvI,

THE POSITION OF SENATOR DAVIS.
The Senate galleries were crowded to-day and
throngs pressed for admittance long after all
the seats were taken. The general expecta-
tion was that something of lively or sensa-
tional character would occur. A Eumor that
President Arthur would take the chair and call
the Senate to order, upon the claim that he was
entitled to perform that function until Presi-
dent pro tenn. was elected, gained some credence,
and probably attracted number of people. In
stead OF witnessing partiZan fight the assem-
bled crowd had to listen to a dry argument on
the legal status of the question. The absence of
Senator Malone when the first vote was taken
was noted by all present and commented upon,
many wondering if he intended to absent HIM
self. AbOut12:30 O'Clock, however, he entered the
chamber. Senator Davis action in voting with
the republicans was no doubt disappointment
to the democrats generally, but few of the
best informed had quietly learned of his inten-
tion. 1t was stated to-day by those who as
sumed to know that Senator Davis had said he
regarded the republicans as entitled to the pres
dent of the Senate, especially in view OF his pos
sible succession to the Presidency of the United
States, and that he would vote to give them the
office; but that if the democrats succeeded in
electing their candidate he Davis) would not
vote to turn that man out. If this be SO, then
on the question of electing republican presi-
dent (after the three new Senators shall have
been sworn in) the vote will be tie, and Mr.
Bayard will retain his office.
HEAVY ROUND OF APPLAUSE
in the galleries this afternoon startled the dig
nifty of the Senate and violated its decorum.
Senator Beck referred to the election OF a pres
ident pro tenn. after Vice President Fillmore
succeeded to the presidency of the United
States. Mr.. Edmunds asked if in that
election Senators Of two states were
denied participation. Mr.. Beck replied
no, but added that neither had Vice Presi-
dent refused to give the Senate an opportunity
to elect president pro tenn. (referring to Mr..
Arthur at the last SESSION., nor had two foolish
Senators (Conklng and PlatD enacted comic
tragedy. This brought down the galleries with
ris said that if the galleries gave another sign of
approval or disapproval he would have them
cleared.

GLADSTONE's SPEECH AND W HAT MR.. PARNELL
SAYS OF 1T.
LONDON, Oct 10.-The Dublin correspondent
of the Times says: Mr.. GladstOne's speech has
brought light and hope to loyal people, who
felt that the government had abandoned them.
The Midland counties are still very lawless.
"BoycOtting' is proceeding with unrelenting
vigor and incendiarism is frequent.
Mr.. Parnell concluded his speech at Waxford
Sunday thus: 81 trust the result of the
league movement will be that. just as Mr.. Glad
stone by his acts in 1881 has eaten all his old
words and departed from all his former declared
principles. so we shall see that these brave words
of his shall be scattered as chaff before the
united and advancing determination of Irishmen
to regain their lost legislative independence.
THE CORNELL CREW SCANDAL
LONDON, October 6.-The letter to the Sports
man from the Vienna regatta committee, repu-
dating the insinuation that one of it's members
was concerned in bribing Shinkel, of the Cornell
crew, says further:-As no answer has been re-
ceived to the request forwarded to Commodore
Chase month ago, asking him to communicate
the proofs of the alleged bribery, the committee
regrets its inability for the present. and until the
arrival of the desired particulars to take any
other measures than to declare the statements
published in the New York Tribune on the 9th
of September and alleged to have proceeded
from Mr.. J. G. Allen, member of the Cornell
crew. falseh0Ods

The Senate Caucuses To-day.

Both the republican and democratic Senators
met in caucus at the Capitol at 10 o'clock this
morning. There was full attendance at both
of them, as nearly all of the absentees on Satur-
day have since arrived and were present this
morning. The republicans remained in session
but short time-less than half an hOur-and
merely mapped out plan of action to govern
through the day. The democratic caucus re-
mained in session an hour or more, and dis
cussed the question which occupied so much of
their time on Saturday, whether or not to admit
the new Senators before eecting Secretary
No decision was reached, and the caucus ad-
journed.
The democratic caucus decided not to 90 into
the election of Secretary of the Senate at this
special session unless the republicans force the
question. resolution will be submitted con-
ferring authority upon Chief Clerk Shober to
perform the duties of secretary until the office
shall be filed and it is believed the republicans
will not object to deferring the election until the
regular session.
