MERRITT WAITING ORDERS,

He Was j. ust Boarding the Train for Hell
.. ena When stopped.
Gen. Merritt and aide de camp Lieut..
6turRis did not 90 to Helena last week. ~
announced, says the Pioneer Press. Al the
general reached his train, equipped with
tickets and sleeping berth, message from
Washington was placed in his hands telling
him to postpone the journey until further
orders. It seems that the ground for the
new post is to be donated by the city of
Helena. Helena induced congress to order
a post established near the city by agreeing
to donate 1000 acres Of ground so located
as to meet the approval OF the war depart
ment. Congress appropriated 100000 for
the buildings. sewerage, etc. of the new
fort. This amount. Gen. Merritt says, will
not do much more than enable the depart
ment to scratch over the ground. Tho gen.
eral, however, thinks all the funds neces.
Hary for the development OF the fort viii be
forthcoming in due time.
A late dispatch from Washington says
that Secretary Elkins intends to make q
change in the geographical limits of some
of the military departments and probable
shifting round of some of the department.
partment says that q restoration of
the system of division organization ID pro-
bable. 1t will be remembered that when
MIR. Proctor became secretary of war he
broke up the division commands. 1t IL said
that the abolition of the division COM
mands. with the subsequent arrangement
of department commands has not proved as
satisfactory in it's results az the advocater
of the plan had hoped.
Under the new arrangement some of the
junior brigadier- generals are in command
Of larger forces than the two major-gener-
ais, Howard and Miles. Secretary EIkius
wants to make more equal distribution of
the forces and to give the two-major-gen
erals larger commands and enlarged dut-
les. Gen. Sohotield is known to be an ad-
vocate OF the system of division organiza-
tion and he opposed Secretary Proctor's
abolition of it. Gen. Schoheld holds that
division organization would be necessary to
the efficiency of the service to maintain it
in time OF peace.
1t is now thought that Gen. Carr, tho
newly appointed brigadier- general. will not
go in the department of the Columbia, but
may be assigned to the department Of Ari-

BIAIR'S FRIENDS GET EVEN.
Tho Chinese Minister to the United state
Recalled

Tho Chinese Minister to the United states
Recalled.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-Diplomatio cir
oles are considerably aeitated over the an
nouncement that Minister Tsui. the Chi
nese representative in this country, is ahou!
to be recalled, owing to the Chinese emner-
or's displeasure al the prominence which
the minister took in the negotiations by
which Count Mitkiewicz and other speoula-
tors proposed TO establise an international
bank in China which would absorb all the
railroads. telegraph lines, ETC.. of the
orient. The PROPOSED recall of the minis
ter comes so soon after China's rejection
of ex-senator Blair IN United States minis
ter to that country, thai the two events are
being linked together. Minister Tsui was
mainly instrumental in having Blair re-
jected, and as result the friends of the
ex-senator have for some time teen long
ing to retaliate by having the minister re-
called. The state department. officials have
shared this feeling to considerable extent,
and as result Tsui has had hard diplo-
matic lot since he had Blair deposed.
