At the battle OF ChanceIIorsville,
where Gen. Mott was disabled by
severe wound. SeweH took charge of the
brigade, and IN a charge against which
the enemy could make no good resist
ance he achieved one of the most bril-
liant successes of the war. He was made
brevet brigadier general of volunteers

war on account of his meritOrIous ser
vices. He was wounded at ChanceIlOrs-
vile. and also in the battle of Gettys-
burg. After the war Gen. Sewell en-

William Montrose Graham was born in
this city in 1884 and entered into active
service inthe army when only twenty
one years of age In addition to valued
services during the Civil War, General
Graham was engaged in several battles
with the Seminole Indians, much of his
time being passed in active duty in Texas,
principally on the frontier, where he was
engaged until 1857. He was also for some
time the commanding officer at Fort
Hamilton, having only recently been de-
tailed from that place to other duties.
Among other fields of his military expe-
rience was Florida, his services there
rendering him very familiar with the
lower coast of the country. General Gra-
ham is also spoken of as a most popular
officer, and his kindness 10 those who
served under him left a very warm place
in their hearts, especially among the men
in the ranks, for whose welfare and com
fort he was ever very solictous.

Gen. Elwell S. Otis, who is also to wear
the straps of a major general. is another
officer whose fame during the Civil War
was achieved by a series of gallant and
effective movements. He is a native of
Maryland. but al the opening of the civil
war was mustered into the service as
captain Of New York volunteers He
figured in many of the most important
fights in the army of Virginia and his
gallant conduct at the battle of Spottsyl-
vania Court House earned for him the
promotion of a brigadier general with
which rank he was mustered out of the
volunteer service at the close of the war.
He has been in the Regular Army since
1866. His services during the several cam
paigns in Virginia were thoroughly ap-
preciated by the Government and have
made his name one that has ever been
mentioned with marked appreciation not
only among the rank and file of the re-
gulars of the service, but among those
who are left among the old volunteers.

Brig. Gen. William r. Shafter, whose
nomination as major general was yester-
day confirmed by the Senate, is regarded
as one of the most popular commanders
of the army. He is a native of Michigan,
from which State he entered the Army
in 1861 as first lieutenant of the Seventh
Michigan Infantry. At the time his regi-
ment was mustered out of the service
Gen. Sherman, by authority from the
President, chose Gen. Shafter for appoint
ment in the regular army with the rank
of lieutenant colonel. He was appointed
by Gen. Thomas in 1865 and assigned to
duty along the Mexican border because
of Indians driving cattle across the Rio
Grande into Mexico. For twenty years
Gen. Shafter was engaged in Indian wars.
He is a strict disciplinarian. Gen. Shaf-
ter was awarded a medal by Congress
several years ago for heroic conduct at
the battle of Piney Ridge. Lately he has
been in command of the Department of
Colorado.

authority. Gen. Shafter presided and it

campaign were discussed and mapped

stantial evidence in support of II is
rather convincing, except to the Greeks
themselves. who take the matter seri-
ously and glory in the personal bravery
of their king. English newspapers have
given the case especial attention. They
magnify the fact that it is simply i'm
possible for the regulation arms used in
Greece to have struck the harness and
the carriage at the time of the attack
and have done so little damage. Ii is
everywhere admitted that King George
is ingenious in the invention Of sensa-
tions wherewith to divert his subjects
and shelter himself from the criticisms
of the populace. He diverted his
Greeks with foreign war, and he has
magnified unduly many insignificant
issues. That he should attempt 50 ro-
mantle an exhibition as a fake" hold
up seems incredible; yet that is what
he is widely believed to have done.

A SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
TRUNK LINE REPRESENTATIVE
WILL MEET IN NEW YORK
Some Agreement May BE Reached With
the Canadian Pacific Relative
to the Rate War.

Chicago, March 9.-There is a POSSIBLE
ity that the trouble over transcontinen-
tai rates between the Canadian Pacific
and the roads of the United States may
be settled next week. Chairman Cald-
well of the Western Passenger associa-
ton received joint telegram signed by
Chairman Donald of the Central Passen-
ger association and Commissioner FAR
mer of the Trunk Line association, ask
ing if the Western roads would agree to
meet the lines of the Central association
and of the Trunk Line association in
New York next Tuesday. 1t is under
stood that the Canadian Pacific will also
be represented at the meeting. Chairman
Caldwell replied for the Western roads
to the effect that they would be repre-
scented. Nothing further than this is
known by the Western roads, but they
say that they are willing to do all they
honorably can to settle the troubles be-
tween the American lines and the Ca
madam Pacific.
The meeting of the Western roads
called for to-day to consider the best
thing to do in relation to the last cut
in rates made by the Canadian Pacific
did not do anything of importance.
1t was agreed that the Grand Trunk
shall be allowed to make fiat rates
from New England points to North IA
cfic coast points, for the purpose OF
meeting the competition of the Canadian
Pacific if it desires to do so. This was
the only thing done at the meeting, the
balance of the session being taken up by
routine matters.

with which it makes it's plans and for
the lack of display with which these
plans are carried out. When the Rus

consults few Russians: it does not
much bother itself about foreign re-
lations" Russia has carried out its
really understandable policy respecting
Port Arthur, and no nation worth Rus
sias serious attention protests: as the
United States ought long ago to have
executed a fully warranted policy re
speeding Cuba, in full assurance that
no nation on earth would presume to
venture a protest.
Some time ago, in distrust of Rus
sia's intentions. the mikado's govern
ment addressed TO Russia a note which
demanded prompt and explicit declar-
alton as to the cars intentions re-
speeding the occupation of Port Arthur
when Russia entered that port several
months ago it was with the distinct
assurance from St Petersburg that the
occupation was a temporary affair.
