Francisco, was placed on the retired list
to-day by direction of the President. his

under the law an officer can be retired at
discretion when he reaches that age or at
his own request.
The age limit of service is "a years, and
on the active list until ne rounds that
period. Very seldom retirements are
compulsory, and while reasons for such
action is usually assigned, the President
is not obliged to give any. The only ex-
PLANTATION made at the War Department
was that executive action was taken in
BAN BRIDGES case as he has outlived his
usefulness as an officer.
Two recent compulsory retirements
were those of Brigadier- General Carr by
President Harrison and Colonel Crofton
BY Cleveland.
The retirement of BAN bridge will result
in the following promotions in the artil-
lery: Lieutenant Colonel Marcus P. Mil

board, consisting OF Secretary Alger, Gen
eral Miles. Adjutant- General Rugges and
Colonel Aiasworth, chief of the Record
and Pension Division, was appointed to-
day to consider the awards of medals of
honor and 10 recommend to the President
the names OF persons deserving recogni-
ton. The medal OF honor corresponds to
the Victoria cross, and is conferred for
marked personal bravery of officers or en-
listed men of the regular or volunteer
armies in the War of the Rebellion.
Under the last administration the dis
tribution o. these medals was in the hands
of the Assistant Secretary of War. Secre-
tary Aleer thinks the greatest care should
be exercised in conferring the honor.
Great pressure is frequently brought to
bear on the War Department in behalf of
applicants. and the board is appointed
with view to wedding out the unwar
ranred claims.
General Alger will try the honor" sys-
tenn with the War Department. He re-
voked the orders which compelled chiefs
OF divisions to keep 'ttab" on the attend
ance and WORK of their clerks, as it savored
too much OF the primary school to suit
the Secretary's taste. He believes adults
should not be given black marks because

their honor to report any delinquency.

Bench.
Waymire Will Then Slip Into
the Vacancy in the Dis
triCt Court.
Prefers a Life Position to a Few
Years of Glory as Member
of the Cabinet. -:

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 30.-Judge
Wv. Morrow will be appointed United
States Circuit Judge to succeed Judge
will be appointed United States District
Judgs to succeed Morrow.
This seems to be certain. Judge Way
mire called on the President to-day, in
company with e1-Attorney General Hart
of California. Judge Waymire was seen
tonight. but was reluctant to discuss his
chances Tor the Judgeship.
THE CALL correspondent understands,
however, that Judge Waymire told the
President he was not candidate for At
torney-General to succeed McKenna when
the latter is appointed to the United
States Supreme bench. Judge Waymire
stated to friend tonight that he would
rather be United States Judge for life
hard work and little transient glory as
Attorney-General In the Presidents Cabi-
net.
Besides, Judge Way mire understands
that there is now pending before the lead
ers of both houses of Congress a PROPOSE
ton to bolish district courts altogether
and mel &c them into the circuits. :
Many lawyers think that the district
courts might as well be abolished alto
gether and let the business come before
the circuit courts. Ii this were to be done
there would be four circuit courts in Cali
fornia, and Judge Waymire having been
appointed district judge TO succeed Nor
row would thus become one of the new
circuit Judges. This proposition is now
being considered by the Judiciary Com
mittees of the Senate and House, and in
all prof. ability the bill will become law.

the floods which have wrought so much
destruction in the States that border on
the Mississippi River and it is probable
that the number Of visitors will be re-

years. The wealth and the enterprise OF
Tennessee are fully engaged in lis behalf
and the popular enthusiasm over 1t IN the

evening in which the husband was
knocked out in the first round, the girl
put to fight and the wife's vengeance sat
isfed. The man was we'll dressed. His
companion was a light-colored mulatto
girl, neatly dressed, who chatted with
him in familiar manner.
The wife stepped into doorway and
awaited the coming OF the pair When
the man was within ten feet the little
woman jumped from her hiding-place.
This IL what Keeps you in Washin gton,
is it, you brute? Take that, and that and
that; and don't you ever darken my door

The attack Of the woman was so i'm
petuous, so unexpected, and conducted
with such fury that tbs man was whipped
before he knew what had struck him.
With single blow, squarely on the face,
the plucky little woman finished him, and
split her kid glove. Following up her adj
vantage, she again punched him vlc.ously
below The belt and landed third on his
mouth.
The man was either too badly surprised
to defend hims self or declined to repel the
attack OF his wife. At the first sign of ali
encounter the colored girl fled precipi-
lately from the scene, and as soon as he
could release himself from the grasp OF
