Gibbons to oficiate.

WASHINGTON, Aug.7.-Gen. Sheridan's
funeral will undoubtedly be the most
largely attended of any held in Wash
iagton for many years, not excepting
that of Gen. Logan. Although Gen.
Sheridan's death may have been expected
for more than two raonths, when the
news of ii came it was n keen shock.
Nothing was talked of except the life of
Little PHIL The action Of congress-,
as well as that Of President Cleveland
and his executive officers, evidences the
high esteem in which the brilliant sol
der was held in the public mind where
he was best known. There are evidences
of mourning on every hand. Flags are
at half-mast, and great folds OF black
Grape are being taken out and placed
upon the public buildings.
Notwithstanding the request of Mrs.
Sheridan that the funeral be conducted
under the auspices of the army and that
the remains be buried as those Of q
soldier and not as a citizen, it is expected
that there will be, besides the large mill
tary display, an enormous attendance of
people living in distant states. Num-
berS of societies of New York, Boston
and Philadelphia have already teie-
graphed here for quarters at the hotels
on Thursday, and militia companies from
a number of adjoining cities made an
nouncement that they will be In attend
ance upon the funeral services.
some very severe structures are passed
upon the physicians who have had charge
of Gen. Sheridan since he fell i'll upon
his return from Chicago on the 18th of
May last. Men In high public places
openly assert that the case has been u
bold Misrepresentation in the bulletins
Issued by the physicians in charge, and
that for some un~aceountable reason very
stndious efforts nave been made to mis-
lead the public as to the Generals true
condition. This criticism seems more
just in the face Of the fact that the ply
slcians since his death have stated that
they knew as late as last November that
Gen. Sheridan's illness came from
most serious troubles of the heart and
liver and that his days were numbered,
1t is strange that there should be these
misrepresentation in cases where no in
jury to public affairs or private business
could come from telling the truth. 1t
has been known in Washington among
Gen. Sheridan's most intimate friends for
two months that it YVES an impossibility
for him TO recover sufficiently to re-
sumo his official duties, and in, the face
of these facts the bulletins have been is-
sued daily stating that he was rapidly
recoyerin. There has been no depend

Changes In the Departments.

WASHINGTON, Aug. TIT is not ex-
pected that any immediate changes in
division commands will be made, but il
is very probable that Gen. Howard, at
present commanding the Division of the
Pacific, will eventually succeed Gen. Scho-
field in the command of the Division of
the Atlantic. For the present, however,
Gen. Schofeld, while commanding the
army, will, in all probability. continue
to be in personal command of the
Division of the Atlantic, through his
staff. 1t is known a transfer to the east
would be acceptable to Gen. Howard, but
1T Is hardly probable that such a move
would be desired by him or approved by
the wal department authorities as long
rs Indians troubles continue in the south
west. When everything is again quiet
Gen. Howard will probably be ordered
east and Brig. Gen. Miles will doubtless
succeed him in command of the
Division of the. Pacific.
