0snsral wheeler, who Will Command
EosrtA Corps. Expssts TO Resume His
Ssas In the House Soon After Congress
lGosss- -0eneral Grah.ln Retired as .
DrsgnAisr General Other Changes.
WARRINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE order des-
ignating the general officers to be mus
tered out Of service, dated Oct. Z, was
pablished ofhcially yesterday and at the
head Of the list is Major General Joseph
c.. Breckinridge. whose name was not
in the first publication. General Breck-
inridga viii return to duty Nov. 30. as
inspector general Of the army. General
Breckinridge was to have commanded
tho First corps, which just now will be
commanded BY Major General James H.
Wilson. It is understood that there
win b other changes in the commands
Of army corps stationed in the south.
General Wheeler, who will command
the Fourth corps, stated before leaving
Warrington that he expected to resume
his seat in the house soon after it met.
General Graham, who is to command
the Second corps, has retired as bri-
sadier general, and the question has
arisen % to whether he shall be con-
tinued longer in the volunteer service.
The attorney general has rendered an
opinion that there is no reason why he
should not, but there is feeling among
army officers that this would not be al
together fair to the young men, and it
is probable that Generals John G. Bates
and A. r. Chaffec, later ON will succeed
to the command of the Second and
Fourth corps, and General Wilson will
continue to command the First corps.

Criticize Americana.

MANILA, Sept. (via San Francisco)
Oct. 1.-THE Spanish newspapers in
Manila are revelling in an unprece-
dented atmosphere of freedom and criti.
else the American authorities in a way
they never would have dared to criti-
else their own government. for the
Spanish censor has now joined the great
army of unemployed and the United
States army censor confines his atten-
ton to cablegrams going abroad. He
will not, he says, permit q word to be
said in any way derogatory to the
United States army or authorities, but
he takes no notice of violent, inflamma-
tory distribes daily exciting the people
of the Philippines. He let's Spaniards
say what they like to their readers,
while he refuses to trust the American
people and loyal American journalists.

SECRETARY PORTER says that no one
who knows him would ever think OF i'm.
pu9ning his motives; from which We as
sumo that he has a high opinion Of Mr..
Porter. However, the voters have q
right to believe that his campaign cards
were not intended to imply that his pre-
dscessor was scrupulous about turning
in fees that belonged to the state. To
be sure nothing was said to that effect,
but the cards were worded with the
evident intent OF leaving strong grounds
for conjecture. And conjecture is a
pops long suit.-LincOln Journal.

Husband Held for Murder.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Oct. 1.-THE body
of Mrs. J. j. Kunkel, whose husband is
now under arrest, charged with having
poisoned her to secure the insurance
covering her life, has been exhuned for
examination. Arsenic was used to en-
balm the body and the examination is to
determine whether the arsenic found in
the stomach was separate from that used
in the embalming. A feeling in favor
of Kunkel has developed in the last "A
hours and the officers now are even in
clined to believe that it will be hard to
convict him of the charges against him.
A telegram was received from Seattle,
WASH, asking if Kunkel needed any as
sistance in any way, proffering financial
or any other aid that might be needed.
