PROPOSED MILITARY CHANGE.
Abolition Of the Present System Of
Division Commands Favored.

The President and Secretary Proctor are
seriously considering proposition advocated
by several prominent army officers for the
abolition Of the present system Of division
commands and to have military affairs admin
istered hereafter through department. COM
manda. 1t il argued that the present system
10 cumbersome and expensive, and that it in
wolves unnecessary delay in the Transmission
and consideration of Official papers. The great
division Of the Missouri was created for the
purpose Of giving Gen. Sherman command
suitable TO his rank and has been continued
ever since because of important Indian cam
paigns within its territory. These troubles are
now confined to a small extent of territory
and are no longer an important factor in
military affairs. 1t is understood that
the President and Secretary of War
are favorable to the proposed change as tending
to simplifcation of military methods and as
doing away with the maintenance of useless
military establishments. In case the change is
made major general will be placed in command
OF each of the two important departments-the
Atlantic and the Pacific-and the interior de-
partments will be commanded by brigader
generals, all of whom will report direct to
Maj. Gen. Schofeld, commanding the army.
whose headquarters will be at Washington
The effect of the change would be merely NOM
inal in New York city and San Francisco. where
are located both the division and department
headquarters. but would deprive Chicago of
her military establishment altogether. unless
it were made the headquarters of depart
ment commander. 1t is not likely, however,
that there will be any change in the existing
system before the LIST of September.

EIGHTY-FOUR BODIES FOUND.
Full Extent Of the Lake Pepin Disaster
Not Yet known.


Nothing new developed along the shore of
Lake Pepin up to last night. Dynamite was
used vigorously under the direction of Gen.
Mullen, who had Capt. Peter Berkey's steam
yacht at headquarters. A close watch was
kept up along the shore, but nothing was
found 1t IS probable that no more bodies will
be found for two or three days, and the hope
at Lake City is that not over a dozen more are
in the lake, but at Red Wing the number has
been placed at two or three times that figure.
The best obtainable facts and figures place the
number of deaths from the wreck of the Sea
Wing at about one hundred and thirty. This,
however, can only be called an approximation,
for the list of the excursion party is neces-
sarily incomplete and only in course of time
can the missing and the recovered dead be
fully numbered.
The public buildings are draped with black
and many merchants and private citizens have
also made displays of mourning embems
Women who were saved from the wreck are vet
suffering from nervous prostration and exhaus-
ton, and In one or two instances the victims
are in such precarious condition that knowl-
edge of the awful extent of the disaster and of
the fate of dear ones of their own family has
been carefully kept from their ears. The num-
Der of bodies found up to this time is eghty-four.
At Red Wing funerals were held all day yester-
day. Business houses were closed and mourning
emblems were everywhere displayed. Coroner
hylio Will hold an inquest at once on the body
of E. J. Johnson of Dakota who was to have
been married yesterday and whose betrothed
was also one of those who persisted. 1t Is
hue county is of the avowed opinion that this
disaster is a subject not for action by coro-
ners jury, but should come before the grand
jury and that at once.

TWO WOMEN LEAVE HOME,
Rumors OF an Elopement From a New
Jersey Town.

Lambertville, NJ, was treated to sensation
Monday. Mrs. Hunt, wife of Edward Hunt,
and Mrs. Horton. wife OF John Horton. left on
the noon train, saying they would return in the
evening. They have not returned as yet. 1t
has since been learned that they had no inten-
ton Of returning. as each had taken with her a
large trunk filed with wearing apparel and
each had about $50 in cash.
Mrs Hunt is the mother of four children. the
youngest not yet six months old, all of whom
she left behind. Mrs. Horton has no children.
No cause can be assigned for the strange con-
duct of the women both husbands were
good providers and both families were sup
posed to be living happily. Rumor has it that
two married men are also missing and are sup
posed to be with the women, but this report
lacks confirmation.

THE FIRE IN STEAMBOAT.
The Losses Reach Five Million and the
Flames Still Raging.

The awful confagration which began in SIAM

ravages yesterday morning with disastrous eff
feet. Five divisions Of the town occupied exclu-
sively by Mussulmans and principally built of
wood are in ruins. The area covered BY the
