With the retirement of Gen. Sherman
and the death of Gen. Sheridan, the
titles of ''generaF' and ''lieutenant
generaP' ceased to exist. There were
then three major generals, Schofeld,
Howard and Crook, the first named
being in command by virtue of senior
ity, conferred by the earlier date of his
commission. He is virtually command
er-ln-chief of the army, with head
quarters at Washington. The army is
arranged into three divisions: The
East or Atlantic. ranging from
the Atlantic to the Mississippi river,
the Missouri, running from the
Mississippi to the Rockies, with the
headquarters at Chicago; the Pacific.
west to the Pacific ocean, with head
quarters at San Francisco. The di-
visions of the Missouri and the Pacific
are subdivided into departments, each
commanded by brigadier general. eX-
cept that of Arizona, commanded by
colonel. The diagram above shows the
several divisions and departments and
their respective commanding officers.
The death of Gen. Crook leaves a va
cancy which will be filled, in the alb
sence of any pressing reason, by promo
ton in the line. This would make Gen.
Miles major general, but it is alto
gether probable that he will be
"jumped," which is not uncommon
proceeding. where politics figure. This
fact has led to the belief that
possibly Gen. Ruger, command
ing this department, smay be
chosen. Nothing would give greater
satisfaction to those who know him.
Not only is he an able and capable Of
fcer with splendid record, but he is a
gentleman in every sense of the word,
courteous, atfable and approachable
and thorough soldier. He commanded
a brigade during the civil war, and has
nothing to learn in a military sense.
Politics, not partisan, of course, will be
brought to bear on the appointment.
Gen. Miles is brother-in-law of Don
Cameron and a nephew by marriage of
Senator Sherman, but still there is
feeling that he will be passed, though
he is the ranking brigadier. Gen. STAN
lev, who comes next, has a cOncededly
better chance. He was a major general
of volunteers, and during the war PreSi-
dent Harrison commanded brigade IN
his division. 1t chances, however that
Stanley and Schofeld do not fraterniZe
to any extent. Stanley and his friends
have attempted to divide with Schofeld
the credit of having won the battle OF
Franklin, Tenn, and bitter cODtro-
yersy has been the result. The appoint
ment of Gen. "Billy; Smith, of st. Paul,
over the heads of SIX or seven ranking
officers, shows what will occasionally
happen, and there are more improbable
matters than that Gen. Ruger will get
this plum.

Hoods IN OREGON.
Rain and Melting Shows Cause Inn
mcnsc Damage.

i phenomenal rain-storm has prevailed in
Southern Oregue for several days, which, in
connection with the melting SHOWS in the
mountains has caused the greatest flood
known since that couptry was settled. On
the line of the nuni<ous tributaries of the
Bogue River many small ranches have been
badly damaged, if nc. ruined, and miles of
fencing swept away. Much of the finest
soil in the lower valley has been washed
down TO gravel and bedrock. and the specta-
Gle of fields flooded, roads washed ont.
and bridges and culverts demolished
is common. The fertile Bear Creek
region has not escaped the visitation.
This part If the valley presented the APP
pearance of iurbid sea for many days
Bear Creek itself has borne along great
deal of wrecEage, besides barns and houses,
and has won hit much destruction in un-
dermining and sl;Iieing off the deep allu-
vium that composes its banks. In the APP
plegate region there are few bridges left.
Many people were obliged TO leave their
homes for safety. Great damage has been
done to the mining interests of the section
by the bursting of dams and reservoirs, the
breaking and filling of bitches and the loss
of Hume boxes and machinery The Ore
gon & California River track in Southern
Oregon has been waShei away for miles,
and the road bed is seriously damaged along
the whole line. There has not been a mail
from either the north or south for several
weeks. No estimate can he made of the
loss to the county in bridges and private
property Hundreds of thousands of dollars
will not cover it.

A CURIOUS CASE.
A. C. Blake Convicted of Attempting
to Blackmail Arthur GOrham.


A case that presents some curious and
dramatic phases, and which is not without
its obvious moral, has just been concluded
at Kinsley, Kan.
Some five years ago Arthur Gorham, a
well known ranchman lay seriously i'll for
several weeks at hotel in Kansas City. At
the beginning of his illness his brother was
assisted in nursing him by one A. G. Blake,
or, as he at various times called himself
guinetta" This Blake with the aliases
was at the time an employee at the
hotel, and was apparently prompt
courteous and attentive youth. He de-
veloped in the course Of his waiting upon
Mr.. Gorham quite a faculty as an intelli-
gent, thoughtful and faithful nurse, so
much so that at the end of Mr.. Go ham 8
illness he was informed by the physician
that he largely owed his life to the assiduous
and faithful attention of this young man.
Mr.. Gorham literally rewarded him and as
was returned in continued attempts at
Matchmaking. Mr.. Gorhams parents and
relatives are living iii Boston, and great
columns of this stuff for which Mark
Twain once found the appropriate name of
''hog wash" were telegraphed all over the
country, to the unspeakable annoyance of
Mr.. Gorham and of his friends and con-
nections.
Finally a requisition was obtained from
the Governor of Kansas upon the Governor
of Missouri, and Blake was arrested, taken
to Kinsley, had his preliminary examine
ton upon the charge of endeavorlng to ex-
tort money by matchmaking, was committed
on $500 bail, and was recently arraigned
for trial. The testimony of the state was
about half concluded, when he called halt,
weakened completely, and requested his at
