THE DEAD SOLDIER.
Gen. Crooks Exploits as an Indian
Fighter.
A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
How tho News Of His Death Was Re.
ceived Here-Tributes Of Men Who
Served With Him-His Boldness a. Q
Fighter and Skill as Commander.

The news Of the death Of Gen. Crook, which
was telegraphed from Chicago today, was a
great shock to the officials of the War depart
ment Secretary Proctor was particularly az
| fected by the intelligence, as he had very in
innate associations with Gen. Crook during his
recent visit to Washington q few weeks ago.
He sent personal message Of coincidence to
Mrs. Crook and gave instructions for the prep
aration of a general order announcing Gen.
Crooks death to the army. This order will re-
cite the personal worth and distinguished serv-
ices OF the deceased and will direct that the flags
on all military posts be placed at half mast on
the day Of his funeral and also that officers
Of the service wear the usual badge of mourn
ing for a period Of thirty days. Adjutant Gen.
Kelto said this afternoon that the funeral ar
rangements will be conducted entirely in &C.
cordance with tho wishes Of the family and
WILL, to some extent depend upon the time and
place OF burial. From his personal acquan-
tance with Gen. Crook he was Of opinion that
ne would not care to have any particular pomp
or ceremony at his funeral. The details will
be arranged, however, as soon as the wishes Of
the family are known.
l. THE VACANT MAJOR oENERALsHrp.
Gen. Crooks death will leave vacant one OF
the three major generalships Brig Gen. Miles,
with whom he has been having q con-
troversy over the Apache campaign for
several years, stands next in order. and
will probably be promoted, leaving Q
vacancy in the list of brigadier generals
| to be filled from among the colonies of the
line OF the army. The first on the list accord
ing to relative rank is Col. B. H. Grierson,
tenth cavalry, followed by Col. C. H. Smith,
nineteenth infantry; Geo. L. Andrews, TWEEN
ty-ffth infantry. and Aug. u. Kautz eighth in
fantry. Col. A. Med. McCook, sixth infantry,
Is near the top of the list, and will be strong
candidate.
A Sketch of Gen. Crook.
Gen. George Crook was born near Dayton,
Ohio, September 8, 1928. He was graduated at
the United States military academy in 1852,
and was on duty with the fourth infantry in
California in 1s52-61. He was in the Rouge
river expedition in 1856 and commanded the
Pitt river expedition in 1857. In the latter he
was wounded by an arrow. He had risen to q
captaincy, when at the beginning Of the civil
war he returned to the east and became colonel
OF the thirty-sixth Ohio infantry. In 1862 he
was wounded at Lewisburg, VIVA. For his
services at Antietam he was brevetted ieuten-
ant colonel U.S.A. He was actively engaged
In several campaigns during the war and took
part in Sheridans shenandoah campaign, re-
| ceiving the brevets of brigadier general and
major general U.S.A. March Is, 1865 He was
mustered out of the volunteer service January
Is, 1866.

THE EXTENSION OF STREETS.
A Board of Trade Delegation Before a
Subcommittee of the House.

A committee from the board of trade COM
posed of Fl. D. Walbridge, Myron Parker, A.
s. Worthington, George Truesdell and Joseph
Paul appeared today before a subcommittee
Of the House District committee in
relation to the extension of streets
and avenues through the subdivisions
outside of the city. The delegation were in
favor of substituting for the House bill on this
subject which they characterize as a mass of
incongruities, the Senate bill which was drafted
by the board of trade.
THE SENATE BILL.
This bill authorizes the Commissioners to
prepare plan for the extension OF the streets
by means of permanent system Of highways
as nearly in conformity with the street plan
of the city as possible over that part Of
the District outside OF the cities Of
Washington and Georgetown. After the plan
is prepared damages are to be assessed on the
property taken in the regular way. One-third
OF the damages to be assessed is to
be charged on the land benefited by the
improvements and one-half of the remaining
| two-thirds charged to the District Of Columbia.
One million dollars are appropriated for the
be divided between the United States and the
District of Columbia, for the purpose Of carry
ing out the survey.
MR.. TRUEsDELL's ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Truesdell in his argument drew atten-
ton to the entire constitutionality Of the
scheme. He referred to the many ef-
forts made to have some such
plan adopted and to the repeated requests of
the District Commissioners that it should be
done, il for no other reason on sanitary
grounds, as at present it wasl impossible
to construct sewers, &C., through subdi-
visions. The need of the plan was seen so
thoroughly in 1883 that the Commissioners
were compelled to make a regulation
that any new subdivision laid out should con-
form to the general plan Of the city. The re-
suit of the regulation was that the newer
| subdivisions back up to the
older ones, forming blind streets and causing
any amount of discomfort. The measure should
be adopted at once, as every additional month
OF delay made the plan more expensive one
to carry out finally.
The House bill he thought contained many
unconstitutional portions and it was thought
best to draft an entirely new bill.
Between 1874 and 1888, he said, over 235 sub
divisions not conforming with themselves or
with the city had been laid out.
SOME SYSTEM DESIRABLE.
Mr.. Hemphill at this point interrupted the
Speaker to say that he thought there was no
question in the minds of the committee as to
the desirability Of some system Of the sort
LEGAL ARGUMENT.
Ex-District Attorney Worthington followed
| in an argument as to the legal questioH At
point
Mr.. Hemphill stated at the end OF Mr..
Worthington's remarks that he had carefully
considered the bill and thought it was . thor
oughly desirable one.

EYRAUD FLED.
He Was Located in New York, But the
Newspapers Warned Him.

New YORK, March 21.-"The publication Of
the fact that the detectives had located Eyraud
the alleged French murderer, in this city de-
feated his arrest" said the sergeant
in charge Of police headquarters today.
Eyraud was in this city and registered at the
Hotel American. The French detectives were
just about to arrest him when he dis
appeared mysteriously, leaving his trunk
behind. The detectives were watching
the place night and day in hope
of his return, but the newspapers
printed the story Of the presence of the French
officers and gave Eyraud the warning. The
trunk contained damaging evidence against
the murderer in the shape of Gouffe's clothing,
worn at the time the deed was committed
