TO FIX HIS FAME IN
GRANITE AND BRONZE
MEETING OF THE DEWEY MONU-
MENT FUND COMMITTEE.

The citizens committee to erect a mon

appropriate, located in some public place
down town.

PARIS, Sept 3O.-General de Gallifet,
says the Figaro, has just obtained the
signature of the President to a decree in
stituting a most important reform in the
French army Hitherto nominations for
promotion of colonels or officers Of a
higher rank in the French army, or for
promotion in the Legion of Honor, have
been made by commission. In the fu-
ture the selection of officers for promo
ton will be in the hands of the Minister
of War, who is responsible to the Gov
ernment alone. In a report accompany
ing the decree which he submitted to his
colleagues at a Cabinet council held yes
terday General de Gallifet stated in his
usual plain, straightforward language his
reasons for the proposed reforms.
Nominations by commission and coun-
ell, he says, practically impose upon the
Government of the republic appointments
of which it assumes responsibility with
out having any choice in the matter. 1t
is to complete the abandonment OF Its
powers on the part of the Government,
which is merely executor Of the will OF a
commission, composed Of rev general
officers who are not responsible to Par
Lament.
In the ewes of those officers who rightly
hope to attain the highest positions In the
army the Government and the Minister of
War are nothing; the Commission Su-
preme de 'CIassement is everything. This
is contrary to all the rules of logic and
prudence. No parallel can be found in
any other French Ministry or ir any other
country. Any Minister of War who has a
proper appreciation of his duties and re-
sponsibilities will refuse to exercise his
functions under such conditions.
The decree, the keynote of which is
contained in the passage that the Minister
of War alone decides the appointments
is to be submitted at the council of Min
listers for the signature of the President
of the republic. was signed by General
Loubet yesterday, and will appear in the
Journal Ofticiel this morning.
In order TO prove to the heads Of the
army that this regulation is not intended
as a piece of special policy, but based on
solid reasons. General de Gallifet, says
the Figaro, has decided not to put it into
force until all outstanding promotions
have been ratified.

WHITNEY SAYS THEY

HE HAS SUED MARGARET AND

ing her stories: Of poisoned fruit prepared
BY Whitney for. her consumption, and
have led her to abandon him. In .conse-
Quence he demands from them $4,000 dam

Whitney claims that Margaret and Ed
ward Anderson have for two years past
written to his wife, Kate l. Whitney,
charging him with having violated his
marriage vows; with having been guilty
of intemperance and of attempting to Kill
her by means of poisoned fruit and with
siX-shOOter. He alleges that they also
encouraged Mrs. Whitney to stay at their
home and abandon him. This he says,
resulted in q. severance of their family
ties and defeated all efforts to effect a
reconciliation. AS a result the plaintiff
demands damages in the sum of $4,000.

only member who thought the place was
unsanitary, and his police affiliations ex-
plain his position. His associates in the

DRAGGED TO HIS
DEATH BY CARS
LACK OF FENDER
Man Roughly Rolled
Twenty Feet.

Electric car No. 578 of the Ellis
street line ran over and killed a man said
to be Patrick Mcguire on Fourth street
at the crossing of Stevenson about 10:30
o'clock last night. There were about
dozen passengers on the car when the
killing took place Many persons were
passing along Fourth street and saw the
happening. All accounts given by specta-
tors agree that the victim was dragged
from twelve to twenty feet after the car
struck him. The car had a fender, but
it was entirely inadequate to the service
required of it. Had it been effective there
would not have been another name to add
to- the long death roll of the Market-street
Railway Company's victims of parsimony
this morning. The victim was crossing
Fourth street from the east side, being

fers concerning his sobriety. One says
that he was drunk; another insists posi-
lively that he was sober.
E. L. Young of 235 Third street saw the
whole occurrence: He was standing on
the west side of Fourth street when the
car turned into Fourth street from Mar
ket. According to Mr.. Youngs story the
car was net going very fast. The gripman,
I. A. Bishop, was ringing his bell, put

place The man who was struck went
down at once. He rolled and was dragged
about the width of Stevenson street be-
fore the car could be stopped. AS soon as
the gripman felt the shock of the COLI

could. After being dragged the man went
under the fender and the front wheels,
one or both, went over him. He made no
