Three NEW GENERALS.
Col. John Mixner Among Those to
BE Promoted.

Col. John Miner Among Those to
BE Promoted.
WASHINGTON, May 24-The nomination Of
Brig. Gen. John Brooke, commanding the de-
partment Of Missouri, to be major general,
was prevented today only by the early ad-
5ournment Of the senate, and 1t Is expected 1t
will not be delayed longer than tomorrow.
Within day or two following, for it will not
be proper to send in nomination for his
present place before Gen. Brooke Is confirmed
in his new rank the nominations Of the
colonels who have been lucky enough to Sc
cure selections as brigadier generals will be
sent to the senate. There will be four Of
these, although there will be only three ap-
parent vacancies on Gen. Brooke's confrma-
tion. This fact is accounted for by the de-
cision of the secretary of war to promote Col.
John K. Miner, of the Tenth cavalry, serv-
ing with the department Of the Dakotas, to
be brigadier general and then retire him
leave of absence 1t is the present under
standing that the three colonies who will be
promoted to be brigadier generals have been
selected as follows, though the list is subject
to change up to the last moment: Col. Henry
c. Merriam, stationed in Texas, and first on
the list of colonies of infantry and also first
in relative rank; Col. James F. Wade, Fifth
cavalry stationed at San Francisco, first in
lineal rank in the cavalry and fourth in
relative rank lat present Col. Wade is tenn
porarily commanding the department Of Tex
first in dneal rank in that branch of the
service and fifteenth in relative rank. These
promotions and retirements necessarily will
result in some important changes in the
commands of the great army departments,
but these cannot now be forecasted

PARIS, May 24.-The retiring Unit
ed States ambassador, James B. Eustis,
drove to the Blysee palace today and
presented his letters Of recall to Presi-
dent Faure. After the ceremony Mr.
Eustis granted an interview to rep
resentative Of the Associated Press, and
gave the latter his Impressions Of
France, expressed his admiration of the
French people and gave his opinion Of
the rejected Anglo-American arbitra-
ton treaty. Mr.. Eustis said:
Ny four years residence in France
has afforded me a very favorable OPP
portunity of studying French institu-
tions, and it has been most interest
ing study, as it has enabled me to con-
trast the working Of a republican gov
eminent in France and constitutional
government in the United States There
are many points of dissimilarity. They
are called sister republics, but, as to
fundamental principles, they are not
very closely related. In advocacy Of
personal liberty, France has never pro-
duced single great man, the fact
being that no matter how ardent a
how great may have been his devotion
to the political rights Of the people, he
does not seem able to form the slight
est conception of what are known in
England and the United States as the
fundamental rights of personal liberty.
They made revolution to destroy
one bastile. but they have many today
upon the republican soil Of France,
owing to their system Of arbitrary ar
rests, detentions and perquisitions
which exist only under the most auto
cratic form Of government. To an
American such a system would render
life intolerable. It could be wiped out
in one day, but no one seems to con-
slider it sufficiently important to pro-
tect the personal liberty of the citizens.
The French certainly deserve great
deal Of credit for having maintained
their republic in the face of such
adverse circumstances, but they pre-
sent the strange anomaly Of a self
governing people being fond of the
constant and unremitting interference
of the government in their personal af-
fairs and their personal relations, and
being supremely Indifferent to the
rights of personal liberty An eminent
Frenchman with whom I was discuss
ing this question most truthfully de-
clared: The ignorance of public men
in France with regard to the working
of our constitutional government has
often amazed u.s.
"As regards the French people, my
residence in Paris has increased my
admiration for them. consider them
most marvellous people as regards
their intelligence, their thrift, their hab-
its of sobriety, their wonderful re-
sources and their devotion to political
liberty, and if, as we do, they allowed
their free institutions to develop in
stead of dwarfing the individual, their

"As you were for years a member Of |,
the senate foreign relations committee,
what is your opinion Of the rejected !
treaty Of arbitration between Greati
Britain and the United States?"
II have always considered 1t a SEM
timental farce. 1t is based upon a false
idea, in the first place, that the intellli
gent processes Of diplomacy are made
quate to adjust differences between
the two governments, and, secondly.
that the amicable process of special arr
bitration will not be resorted to when
diplomacy fails. Both Of these assump-
lions are falsified, even by our very
late experiences, and it is humiliatir g !
confession by both governments to ada
NIT that these potent Observation-Disclosures I
are not to be within their reach III /
the future, as they have been in the I
past. If, on the other hand, it means
that the feeling of hostility between ]
the two countries Is so pronounced !
that 1t Is necessary to establish a dis,

Won TAUsCH TRIAL.
Berlin Likely to Be Treated to Some
Sensational Details.


BERLIN, May 24.-The trial of Herr
Won Tausch. the former commissioner
of the secret political police, who was
arrested ON Dec. s last at the close
of the sensational Luetzow- Lockers
trial, during which the imperial chan
cellor, Prince Hohenlohe; the minister
for foreign affairs, Baron Marschall
Won Bieberstein, and the German am
bassador to Austria, Count Philip Won
Gutenberg, were among the witnesses,
commenced today and will probably
last a week. Among the witnesses sum-
moned are Baron Marschall Won Bic
bernstein, Count Philip Won Gutenberg,
ex-MiniSters Won Kuller and Gen.
Brcnsart Won Schellendorf, Police
President Windheim, Herr Bebel, the
socialist leader, and about fifty news
paper men, besides a number of Off
Gals belonging to the different min
istries.
AT the opening of the trial the presi-
dent of the court cautioned Baron Won
Luetzow not to depart from the actual
truth in the testimony which he might
be called upon to give against Won
Tausch. The former chief of the Sc
cre,t political police was then exam
ined He made a statement relative
to the employment of Won Luetzow
and a newspaper man named Schu-
mann, by the secret political police,
and assured the court that he, Won
Tausch, had never caused political in
terests to be served by his agents.
Schumann, or Normann-S chumann, is
said to have been much more guilty
than Baron Won Luetzow. Schumann
escaped from Berlin just in time to
avoid arrest. He was charged, in con-
junction with Baron Won Luetzow, with
having signed fictitious names to re-
ceipts for money given them to bride
newspaper writer's or editors or sub
ordinate employees of the government
to furnish secretly information OF
every kind wanted in the alleged cam
paign to discredit the existing cabinet.
Won Luetzow, during his examination,
testified that he received definite in
structions to publish reports about
the ear troubles of the emperor. The
witness was asked if Won Tausch as
signed these troubles to an alleged
malady. He replied: Certainly, Won
Tausch said the malady had a can
cerous basis, was inherited from his
father, and that the disease considera-
bly, affected his majesty's general
health"

PH1LHARMoNIcs 1T MAY BE.
Music Club May Change It's Nume-
New Officers.


New Officers.
The FilharmoniX Music club, having closed
its sixth season few weeks ago, made prep
aration for its seventh last evening with an
election of new officers and an executive COM
mtttee of twelve. The meeting was held In
Conservatory hail. The new officers are Fred
erick Fayram, of the Housekeeper, president;
W. B. Heath. vice president; John H. Chick,
secretary; R. D. Finel treasurer; committee,
R. W. Hadden, e. A. Fuge, Clarence Strach-
auer, E. M. Stevens, E. W. Farr 3. A. Dabis,
S. V. Morris Jr., H. A. Stuart, c. E. Fisher,
H. L. Murrey, c. C. Coffee, w. S. Hunkins.
The executive committee is to hold a meeting
to outline the work Of the clubs next year.
One subject likely to be considered is the
changing of the name to Philharmonics, as
being more dignifed than the present Fill
harmonic, and the club having far outgrown
any superstitious fear of thirteen letters. The
organization closes it's season with an active
membership of eighty-five young men with
musical tastes, and large associate member
ship of business men and patrons of music.
The past Is accounted to have been its most
successful year, and the treasurer's report
showed standing balance the right side.
Three open concerts were given. For next
year the musical membership will consist Of
a male chorus and an orchestra, for which
new leaders are to be appointed, and the
plans hold the promise of foreign artists and
outside talent for the associate members con-
certs.

His Impregnable Safe Battles Work

NEW YORK, May 24-Years ago when Rus
sell Sage first took Offices in the Arcade
building he had safe constructed Of old
steel rails, a massive affair, extending from
the cellar to the third floor Of the Arcade
building. 1t was bolted and riveted and ce-
mented together until Uncle Russell was will
ing to wager as much as 10 cents that 1t
would withstand anything. 1t was inexpen-
sive too, for the work was done by employees
Of the "L'' road, who were on the pay rolls,
anyhow.
But the Arcade building is being torn down
to make room for a sky-scraper and Uncle
Russell has moved. The safe is still there.
He wanted to take it with him, but he could
not Now he has to pay for taking it down,
and of all the hard jobs that ever confronted
men who earn their bread in the sweat OF
their faces this one of demolishing Uncle
Russells elephant is the hardest.
Every evening on his way home Uncle Rus
sell stops on the corner and weeps softly as
he discovers that the workmen have succeed
ed in extracting only few rivets or displac-
ing only one rail. 1t is impervious alike to
sledge hammers, pile drivers and profanity;
it stands like the reck of Gibraltar.
And the men who are trying to eface 1t
are working by the day.
