War Officials Know Nothing of His
Intention to Return Home.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-Notwith-
standing the repeated statements to
the effect that General Wheeler is about
to return to Washington to resume
his seat in Congress, the officials of the
War Department assert that they know
nothing of any such purpose on the
part of the officer. Certainly he has
not applied for leave of absence, al
though perhaps it may not be neces-
sary for him to go further than his
immediate superior officer, General Otis,
to secure permission to return to the
States. In that case. however. his
leave would be limited to sixty days.
The officials point to the decision OF
the last House. that General Wheeler
had forfeited his seat in the House by
holding his army commission, and make
the point that conditions are now pre-
cisely similar, SO that if the General
returns he must either resign his COM
mission or his seat in Congress. 1t is
suggested that solution of the prob
lem might be had by appointing the
General to be a. Major General and re-
firing him at once, in which case, as
a. retired officer, he might continue in
the legislative branch under the decis-
ion in the case of General Sickles.

swarmed about the House to witness
the opening scenes of the session as be-
sieged the doors to-day. The assemb-

big attendance. To-day the proceed
ings in the case of Representatives. elect
Roberts, which promised to be interest
ing and possibly sensational, furnished
an additional attraction.
For hours before noon, the hour for
the House to meet, people streamed
through the corridors to the galleries,
which looked down upon the arena
where the statesmen were congregat-
ing. By IL o'clock brilliant gathering
had assembled. The galleries were
black with people and through the
swinging doors could be seen pushing
hundreds who were unable to gain adj
mission. Entrance was only obtained
by card. for which there was an enor-
nous demand. The ladies' and men,
bers' galleries were filled with brilliant
ly gowned women, the wives of mem
bers and their friends The executive
gallery was filled with high dignitaries
of the Government, and the diplomatic
gallery respondent with the represent
atives of foreign Governments.
Scattered through the galleries were
people prominent in the political, social
and financial world.
