GEN. RUGGLES AT HIS DESK.
lie Will BE Retired for Age Next
Saturday.


Saturday.
Gen. Ruggles, adjutant general of the
army resumed his duties at the War De-
partment this morning after a months
vacation spent at Vineyard Haven and
ether places. He attended the recent re-
union of the Society of the Army of the
Potomac at Troy and was elected pres-
dent of that body. He will go on the re-
tired list of the army September II by
operation OF law on account of age and
will devote the Intervening time to the
settlement of mis- important official duties.
The vacancy caused by his retirement
will be filled by the promotion of Col. Sam
uel Breck, the senior colonel in the adju-
tant generals department., who has been
acting as adjutant general for the past
month. His official term will be short,
however, inasmuch as ne. too. Will retire
for age in February next.
The impres sion in army circles is strong
that Col. H. c. Corbin will succeed Gen.
Breck adjutant general, although the
friends of Col Michael Sheridan, brother
of the late Gen. Phil. Sheridan, are max
irg the strongest kind of a fight in his be-
half Although Junior to Col. Ccrbin in
rank he is his senior in age and will re-
tire two years before the latter. Col. Cor
bin is the senior colonel in the department
and is next in line of promotion. He is
statiored at New York at present. Next
to him in seniority is Col. Barber Merritt
now on duty at Chicago and following him
comes Col. Sheridan. stationed at ST.
Paul.
The promotions incident to the retire
ment of Gen. Ruggles will make vacancy
in the lowest grade in the adjutant gener-
ais department, viz, assistant adjutant
general with the rank of major. 1t is con-
sidered as good as settled that Capt. H. o.
s. Heistand of the 11th Infantry will be
appointed to this vacancy. He is personal
friend of the President and Mrs. Mckinley
and was with the former during the entire
presidential campaign. Although nominally
engaged in special duty at the War Depart
ment he has practically acted as the Presi-
dents military secretary since the 4th of
March. Another vacancy in this list of
majors in tire adjutant generals depart
ment will occur on the retirement of Gen.
Breck in February next, but it is not known
at this time what officer of the line will
get it.

claiming that such action is the result of
political prejudice, are getting SO numerous
that the civil service commission has found

CABINET WILL NOT CONFER,
Official Statement ns to the Decision
on Section d of the Tariff


on Section - Of the Tariff
Attorney General McKenna stated TO a
Star reporter this afternoon that there is no
truth in the story that President Mckinley
and the cabinet will be consulted before he
announces his decision on section 30 of the
Dipgley bill imposing discriminat ting duties.
The decision may or may not be ready
before the President returns, but the At
torney General has no idea of submitting
the matter TO the President or cabinet. If
the opinion is delayed until after The Presi
dent returns, the reason will be that the
Attorney General has not finished his in
Vest1gations. and is not ready to finish
writing an opinion. The matter is a grave
ore, involving too much for a hasty opin-
Ion, which would necessarily imply a too
rapid investigation and study of the law
One reason for the delay is that the Al
torney General has been taking some time
getting his new home i'm shape, and gave
no study to the matter for four or five
days. - NV
Secretary Gage also stated that the mat
ter OF submitting the question to the Pres
ioent and cabinet has not even been hinted
to him, and he is certain that ii will not he
done: that is. that 1t is not now contem-
plated.

BODIES TROUBLE FOR WELLINGTON.
What fs Thought of Representative
Mudd's Decln rn ton.

Representative Mudd's declaration of
readiness for war with Senator Wellington,
In The Star yesterday, is believed by Mary
land politicians to bode further trouble
for the former head of the party in Mary
land.
Mr.. Mudd was not IN mild temper after
he called on Secretary Gage and ascer-
tanned that Senator wellington had given
notice that he will oppose DIR. Tuck because
of the position of the latter at Ocean City.
As stated in The Star, Mr.. Mudd imme-
diately gave notice to- the Secretary that
he would withdraw every endorsement he
has given Of friends of Senator yelling
ton. Mr.. Mudd intimates strongly that, as
Senator Wellington has begun such fight
ing, he may expect further trouble when
the republican convention meets, Septem-
ber Is.
In the Ocean City convention the Well
ington people polled flfty-six votes as
against sixty-one cast forsthe opposition
candidate for temporary chairman. In the
convention on the 18th the antis will have
with them twenty-one additional votes
from the three districts of Baltimore and
four from Prince Georges county, MAX
ing total of thirty-one for Wellington
and eighty-six for the anti-Wellington
forces.
Such a vote will not make such a show
ing for Senator Wellington as to enable
him to demand of the federal administra-
ton and secure whatever he wants.

William L. Chandler of New Hampshire.
who a few days ago started n discussion
by stating that the discriminating clause
OF section ~ of the Dingley tariff bill WAS
passed by trick of legislation" IN the
Herald this morning replies to Senator
Frye, who a few days ago declared that he
could not tell how the amendment was
passed.
Senator Frye is a good and conclusive
witness that what 1 say is true SAYS
Senator Chandler. II quote Senator Frye's
own words: How this amendment to sec
ton - was secured, 1 know not
Defines Fryc's Position.
Senator Frye seems to mean that he aid
rot know until after the conference report
was adoptej.on July 2f.that the trick clause
was in 1t. III that is what he does mean,
then he certainly was tricked, because his
relation to the whole subject as chairman
of the committee commerce, made il
impossible that he should not have known
that it was done, unless il was done
reptitioUsly to him and all senators ana
members, except the few contrivers OF the
device
IF, on the other hand. Senator Frye did
know before July 81 thai the thing was
after he had failed in his open plan. he
omitted for the whole week of debate over
the conference report in the Senate to tell
his New England constituents that the
conferees had struck this blow at New
England interests.
''As Senator Frye says the conforres
are ell honorable men; OF course, they had
the necessary explanatory statement writ
ten, and it was left out by the b,Gnder of
"A clerk. That is always the safest ground
to take in such cases.
What should BE Done.
But whether legislation thus obtained
will stay, even nominally, upon the statute
book is doubtful. Moreover. whether the
Attorney General will find that the trick
cry of legislation must be enforced until
repealed is not yet settled. 1t should not
take him fifteen minutes to hold that the
contiguous country clause only applies
where there is no treaty allowing goods to
come without extra duties IN ships enter
ing our seaports; while, if conventions are
rec essary to avoid the effect of the other
part Of the trick, IL should not take Sec
retary Sherman fifteen minutes To make
them With England, France and Germany.
and the collection of discriminating duties
should await the deliberate action of Con-
gress."
