meeting of about no business men. me-

Wheeler Wants More.
The Hero of Three Wars AppIie
for Service in China.

Washington, July 20.-Des
string to add further fame to his
unique military history, Gen JOS
eph Wheeler has made application
for service in China. 1t is not
probable that this request will be
granted. Al the same time, ad
ministration officials greatly ad-
mire the brave little cavalry lead
cr for his martial spirit and were
it not for his age the presiden t
would gladly comply with his re-
quest. Gen Wheeler will retire
on account OF arc Sept /, aud for
that reason it will be impossible
to send him to China.
The president has no authority
for appointing retired officers for
active duty. Gen Wheeler has
already served as a general officer
IN three wars the civil, the Span
ish and the in the Philippines.
His military record in this par
ticular is unique in the history of
the United States and should he
be assigned to duty in China it is
doubtful if this record could be
surpassed in the history of the
world.

States last year is stated to have
been 81, 743, of which Z, 1872 were

in mind, however, that there were
