stood that the appointment of an addi-
tional major general from the volunteer
force is under consideration. The presi-
dents desire has been to equalize the Sc
lections as nearly. as possible between the
North and the South. His first selections
from: civil life were Generals Wilson, Of
Delaware, Lee. Of Virginia; Sewail. of New
Jersey, and Wheeler, of Alabama. all of
whom served with distinction in the civil
war.
General Sewan declined and General But
ler of South Carolina, was subsequently
named. General Grenville Dodge was ten
dered an appointment, but declined on ac-
count of age. 1t remains thus to make q
choice from the North and attention has
been directed to General J. Warren Keifer,
of Ohio. as the most conspicuous and sue
cessful volunteer general of the last war
who is available. He had a brilliant mill
tary career, was greatly distinguished as a
fighter and was recognized by Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan as one of the best
soldiers of the army. 1t is believed that
his appointment is under advisement.
