In Which Event Brigadier-G
Forsyth Will Be Sent to
California.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-Brigader-Gen-
eral Alexander Mcdowell McCook has
heen Eappointed major-general of the
United States, vice General Howard, re-
tired. James W. Forsyth, Seventh
Cavalry, has been promoted brigadler-

the regular army at the outbreak Of the
war, from which he emergedIwith the rank
of lieutentani-colonel. but in addition TO
this be had at the beginning a volunteer
commission as colonel of the First Ohio
Infantry, and one year later received his
volunteer commission as a MaJor-General
For gallant service during the war he was
breveted major-general of the army IN
1865. thus anticipating by twenty nine
years the good fortune which has fallen
TO him by the appointment to-day.
The race for the place vacated by Major
General Towards retirement was between
General McCook aud General Ruger, the
latter commanding the Department Of CAL
ifOrnia. and the former was peculiarly
fortunate in receiving the appointment
over General Ruger, who stands at the
head OF the list of brig adier-generals, be-
cause he would otherwise retire in a few
months with the rank of brgadier-gen-
eral. AS it is General Ruger's promotion
will probably only be DELAYED short time
Colonel James Forsyth, who viii become
igadier-general, is one of the most dis
ttnguished cavalry officers in the army
ana has behind MIN a notable record of
service in the Iudian campaigns. At pres
ent he is colonel of the Seventh Cavalry
and in command Of the artillery school at
Fort Riley, kans. He also is a graduate
of West Point. from which he graduated in
1851, and is a veteran of the late war. He
entered as first lieutenant and emerged
major general in the regular army, but in
the volunteer service he received his COM
mission as a brigadier-general. He also
was breyeted a gadier-general in 1865
Major-GeneTal Miles will transfer his
command to New Y ork, succeeding Major
General Howard as commander of the Da-
partment Of the East. In the natural or
der General Forsyth would take his CON-
mand az commander of the Department of
the Missouri, but as junior brigadier-gen-
eral he may yield this command to Gen.
eral Ruger, should the latter. as is
expected, prefer to change from the De-
partment OF California.

READING REORGANIZATION.
The Matter Will Be Appealed to a
Higher Court.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9. -Nathan Bijeur
OF New York, representing Isaac L. Rice.
appeared before Judge Dallas in the
United States Circuit Court to-day to make
motion TO reopen the decree in the mat
ter of the receivers application concern
ing the Olcott-Earl plan of reorganization
OF the Reading road. The motion was
prac lcally for rehearing in the reorgani-
zation matter, but Judge Dallas refused to
grant II. The grounds on which Bijeur
asked for rehearing were that the plan
changes the rights OF the parties who are
before the court and that an oversight was
made in the advertisement of the plan,
which would mean the extnguishment of
some of the bonds of the company.
Mr.. Bijeur had not proceeded far in his
address when it seemed to impress all
concerned that his real desire was to place
himself In a position to take an appeal
Whether this is to the United States Court
of Appeals or to the United States Su-
preme Court at Washington was not de-
velOped. Mr.. Hart answered briefly in
behalf OF the receivers.

While Attempting to Resist the
Bandits.
RODE OFF WITH THEIR BOOTY.
The Cook Gang Has Once More
Taken the Offensive In
Indian Territory.

COFFEYvILLE. KaDs., Nov. 9.-Two OF
the Cook gang plundered the town Of
Lenapah. l. T., and left a bloody trail be-
hind them this afternoon. They entered
the town in the character of bold bandits
without any attempt at concealment and
terrorzed the citizens until they had car
ried out their plan of robbery. E. Z. Mel
ton. brave young man, who attempted TO
stop them with his gun when they were
riding away, was shot and instantly
killed. Another man, whose name cannot
be learned tonight. is reported to have
been seriously wounded. Both of the
victims were with a small force of citizens
who hastily armed themselves and at
tempted to prevent the escape of the
bandits.
The robbers were mounted on fast
horses and were heavily armed. Some of
the citizens claim to have recognized them
as Cherokee Bill and Jim French, we'll
known as lieutenants of Bill Cook, the
leader of the gang. The robbers held up
the prOprietors of two stores and looted
bob places. They also robbed the post
office. John ShuffeIdt, the proprietor Of
one store, lost 500 in money and gold
watch. Mr.. Shuffeldt proclaimed his loss
to the town before the robbers had fin
ished their work, and the band of citizens
ere almost between them and their
horses when the robbers were ready to
mount. An effort was made to stop them,
but they were on horseback with drawn
pistols and were flying away before their
would-be captors could make a concen-
trated move.
A report says the bandits are headed for
Perryville, which is only fifteen miles
from Lenapan. That place is the scene Of
many tragic rooberies, and the police,
with volunteers. are pairing to meet
them in the same way they met the Dali
tons two years ago. when almost the en-
tire band was wiped out.
