Major Generalship.

washington. Aug. 1s.-The prominence
winch General Chaffee has attained in the
emma campaign has already started some
discussion as to a suitable reward to- him
by promotion In the regular army. There
seems to be no question but what he will
get the next vacancy among the Erigadier
Generals of the army, and Some of his
friends in the War Department talk of
stiil higher hcnors for him. and indicate
that it is quite possible that he will be
selected for Major General when the next
vacancy occurs. If this were done, he would
be promoted over the heads of the present
list of Brigadier Generals. General Chaffee
Is now Colonel of the Eighth Cavalry but
a Major General of Volunteers

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECTAI.
Washington, AUG. 1S.-The announcement
from Yokohama, by way of London, that
LOCO Russians have been landed in the
Pyong-ions district of Korea has been re-
ceived here with good deal of concern
by those who are hoping TO re-establish
peace throughout the Orient at an early
day. Tie treaty between Russia and Japan
providing for the control OF Korea stipu-
iates that koreas development by those
two countries shall be purely commercial
end industrial and III no way political.
This stipulation naturally precules the
idea Of placing a military force on the IS
land by either party to the agreement, eN-
cept IN the case of some actual or i'm
pending danger, which would be met by the
countries Jointly. The announcement made
yesterday afternoon of the landing OF LOO
Russians in Korea was the first intima-
tion received here of the possibility of such
action. and it is likely to stir up u great
deal of feeling in Japan.
Korea and the treaty agreements relating
to it are 10 the japanese what the Monroe
Doctrine has always been to the United
States. It IS Japan's most 'touchy' for
eign question. and any aggressive move
rnent there on the part of Russia is looked
upon as sure TO excite the whole japanese
people.

A BOON TO TEACHERS.
The Cniversfty summer school At
Columbia. Large Attendance
Reported

A Columbia, Mo-, dispatch says the
Missouri University Summer School
opened Monday with an enrolment
that indicates an attendance of twice
as many as last year. The course of
instruction has been extended and
many new teachers appointed. The
summer school is especially for the
benefit of the teachers in the smaller
schools Of Missouri, and the students
are therefore largely composed of ed
ucators seeking additional instruc-
tion. The increase in attendance is a
surprise to even the most sanguine,
and shows clearly that the teachers of
the state have realized the importance
of the offer made by the university.
The managers of the railroads of the
state have become interested and
have offered largely reduced rates to
all teachers desiring to come to Co.
lumbia.
