Now, if the President should make that
promotion, he will then have the appoint

place. Should the President see the wis

line to make a selection he could not do
better than appoint George Davis, who was

OTTAWA. April 27th.-In response to a

The British Government has been in cor

matter since early in 1887, with view to
an amica0le arrangement of the disputed
points.
1t is made public for the first time that
the German and Swedish Governments
have taken part in the dispute, and prove
TO be as greatly interested in the matter as
Great Britain or Canada. A discussion will

absence he returned to duty before his leave
expired; thus he was almost continuously in
service, frequently getting into battle by

heroic charge his body was recovered and
finally laid in Hollywood cemetery, Rich

Considering the high rate of mortality in
the war, that twenty-three years have passed
since it closed, and that the leaders in it were
necessarily men of mature age, it is really
surprising that we have so many Of them
among us to-day. General Longstreet is
living at Gainesville, Co., and begins to
feel the infirmities Of age Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston is fine specimen of the
vigorous old gentleman, still active In
the service of his country. But time and
space would fail us to tell of the many
worthy survivors. We close with the
hope that on this Decoration day all feel
ings of estrangement may be laid aside,
that all difference arising out Of recent
politics may be ignored, and that the old
radical and old conservative may clasp
warm hands above their comrades
graves and remember only the time
when they fought together in common
cause,
