OFFICERS NEXT.
Brigadiers and Others Will Now Be
Mustered Out.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The war de-
partment will soon take up the ques-
ton of mastering out a considerable
number of general officers of the vol
unteer army, including major generals
and brigadiers, now that the volunteer
forces have been reduced so largely. All
regimental officers have gone out of
service with their respective regiments,
but the entire force of general officers
still remains. The first attention of the
department will be to reorganize the
several corps and divisions on the basis
of the reduced number of regiments,
and when this is done general officers
will be named as corps commanders,
division commanders, etc. The reOr-
ganizatiOn can be effected with about
half of the general officers now in SER
vice so that when the new assignments
are made these officers remaining IN
assigned will be mustered out. 1t IS
believed, however, that with the war
closed, a considerable number of the
higher volunteer officers will signify
their wish to leave the service and will
resign so that the number which 1t will
be necessary to muster out will be
cOmDaTatiVelV small.

MONETARY CONVENTION.
Warner Wants Irredeemable Curren-
cy-Fowler of N. J., for Bank
Currency.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 16.-The third and
last day of the national currency con-
vention ended yesterday. A paper in
support of an unlimited issue of ire
deemable currency by the government
was read by General A. J. Warner,
president of the American Bimetallic
union.
The middle of-the-road fatist editors
Of the Reform Press association were so
anxious to be heard regardless Of the
arranged program that it was with
difficulty that Congressman Charles 5.
Hartman of Montana, who presided.
could keep them in order. General
Warner said the debate would be d.
vided into first, the advocacy of bank
currency; second, a plea for govern
mental currency to circulate concur
rently with the metals, and third, an
affirmation of any irredeemable govern
rnent paper currency or absolute fiat
ism. AS to the defense of falling prices

he said he concurred in their opinions
except as to farm products for which
the labor cost had not decreased and
with the further qualification that there
had been no reduction in the fixed
charges such as transportation rates,
debts and taxes.
A reply was made to him by Con-
gresham Q. N. Fowler, of New Jersey,
who supported bank currency. Mr.
Fowler said the only logical position
the silverites could take was that or
General Warner; that if they could leg
isIate value into silver they could Ieg1s-

Tuesday of next week.
1.-THE question to be settled" the
comptroller said later, lis whether the
Pullman estate in the state is subject
to transfer tax. hold that all of it is
subject to the tax The relatives Of
Mr.. Pullman say there are enough debts
in this state to more than wipe out the
estate here and that, and even if there
were a balance liable to taxation the
entire estate is subject to the laws Of
the state of Illinois and taxable there
and therefore should be exempt here.
MY contention is that the debts
against the estate in this state should
be charged against the whole estate, a
pro rata amount only being deducted
balance subject to transfer tax. eX-
pect the matter will come up for hear
ing next week"
Clerk Cornelius S. Grout Of the fin
ance department, who has charge of
such matters, said the portion of the
Pullman estate within the state
amounts to about 500, 900 and consists
of money and securities on deposit in
various banking institutions, largely in
the Farmers Trust and Loan company.
