WHEELER'S AMBITION.
Is to Become Fixture Tn the Army,
 To Bo Made Major General.

Washington, D. O., Jan. 10.-A major-generalship in the regular army will be offered General Joe W Wheeler, and the information is that not only will he accept the place, re- tiring from civil life, but he is anx- ious to become a fixture in tbe mili- tary service Two plans for secur- ing the place for him are beng con- sidered. One contempIates the passage of bill creating an addi- tional major generalship, but the method best apprehended by those especially interested in the move ment is to wait until the reorgani- zation bill passes, then have the president nominate him to t'le sen ate as second lieutenant. lmmedi- ately after his confrma ton the president would promote him to major general and send the nomina- tion to the Senate. This is the course most likely to be followed. Under the reorganization plans it will be necessary for him to be made second lieutenant.
