GENERAL wHEELER's FUTURE.
4 Rumor That He May BE Given a
Regular Army Appointments.

The President and Secretary Of War are
said to have under consideration the ap-
pointment of Gen. Joseph Wheeler to the
position OF brigadier general in the Regu-
lar Army. II the appointment is made. it
is said that General Wheeler will be as
signed TO command the Department of the
Lakes, with headquarters at Chicago This
department has been without a regular
commander since January 20, when Cen
eral Anderson retired. General Wade, of
the Department OF Dakota, is in temporary
command Of it.
1t is said that the President is anxious
to have General Wheeler accept the ap-
pointment as the impression prevails that
Congress will declare the generals seat
vacant. and it would be charged that the
Administration had caused the generals
exclusion by its tardy acceptance Of his
resignation which was sent in last No
vember
It is believed that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will
also be made brigadier general. and sent
to either the Department of Columbia or
the Department of Missouri. both of which
are now. with other departments, under
one commander.

A BILL RELATING TO ALCOHOL
The Government Liable for an In
operative Law.

\ hearing was given by the House
Ways and Means Committee yesterday on
a bill introduced by Representative Rus
sell of Connecticut. providing that the
failure Of the Secretary OF the Treasury
to prescribe regulations for the use OF
alcohol in the arts and in medicinal and
like compounds. under the act OF 1894,
shall not operate as a defence on the part
of the Uuited States to any suit Of
manufacturer under said act brought in
any court OF the United States.
Former Postmaster General Dickinson.
of Detroit, and II. B. King. Of this city.
argued in behalf Of the bill. They repre-
sented that the act of 1894 provided that
alcohol used in the arts and in medicinal
and other compounds should be free. under
such regulations as the Secretary Of the
Treasury should prescribe.
The Secretary did not approve the ill.
and declined to make the necessary regu-
latiOns on the ground that there was no
appropriation out of which the expense
OF reguls ting this matter could be paid.
The manufacturers were therefore called
upon to ray the tax Of Si.1o per gallon on
the alcCnOl which they supposed would be
free Suits were brought in the Court Of
Claims aud the court decided the SecTe-
tary had a right. in the absence Of a
specific appropriation for carrying the act
into effect to make such a ruling
This opinion was sustained by the
Supreme Court by a vote Of i've to four.
Mcssrs. Dickinson and King argued that
it was not Just that a law passed BY
Congress should be set aside by the re-
fusal Of an executive officer 10 act They
claimed the Secretary OF the Treasury could
have applied part OF the funds for the
general Internal revenue service 10 the
execution Of the provisions OF this section
had he 50 desired. The act was repealed
after being In force one year and nine
months. The passage Of the bill would
enable claimants to win their suits by
proving their claims as 1t would remove
the sole valid defence Of the United States
against such claims. The total amount
involved is about 5000. 600.

FOR A PACIFIC CABLE.
Favorable Report on HiU Providing
for Government Ownership.

Favorable Report on Biii Prov idins
for Government Ownership.
The Senate Committee on Naval Affairs
yesterday made a favorable report on the
bin to provide for a Pacific cable which
Mr. Hale was authorized to draft at the
last meeting Of the committee. The bill
provides for a cable only to Honolulu.
but declares q purpose TO extend it in the
future. The first section reads as fol
lows.
That TO the end Of establishing here
after telegraph communication between
the United States and the Philippine Isl
ands and Japan. under the waters Of the
Pacific Ocean there shall be constructed.
under the supervision Of the Secretary Of
the Navy. a submarine telegraphic cable
or cables and connecting land lines from
the city Of san Francisco. Cal. TO the city
OF Honolulu. Il. T., over such route as
may be deemed by the Secretary Of the
Navy TO be the most practicable"
The bin carries with it an appropria-
tiou Of So 00o.0 The Secretary Of the
Navy is empowered to cause plans TO be
prepared Immediately upon the passage
Of the act and to employ naval vessels
IL necessary in the work. A new provi-
sion in the bill requires that the cables.
wires, and other instruments. materials,
aud appurtenances necessary in the work
OF laying the cable shall be OF American
manufacture provided that il can be pro-
cured at a cost not exceeding i2 per cent
above what it could be procured for in
foreign markets
The control of the cable when completed
is to be transferred to the Navy Depart
menL
Accompanying the bill is a written re-
port by Mr.. Hale. in which he says the in
creasinE business Of the United States
upon the Pacific sea has for years drawn
mems attention to the advisability of
an ocean cable between our western coast
and some point on the Asiatic shores.
The annexation OF the Hawaiian Islands
has added 10 this feeling, and the commit
tee has felt itself justified in reporting a
bill which provides for a cable which, il
built will be the beginning Of a trans
Pacific submarine cable
Both schemes, the one for a Govern

ment built t-and owned cable and the 9TH
er for a cable built and owned by private
enterprise, aided by governmental sub
sidy, were fully laid before the commit
tee After a full investigation the com
mttee unanimously determined to report
in favor Of the above bill. In the opin-
ion Of the committee its provisions are
ample to ensure the completion Of the
work by private enterprise. while leaving
the general charge OF it with the Gov
ernment and the ownership there when
completed.
At any rate, the experiment will be
tried in the building of the short end Of
the line, from San Francisco to Honolulu,
and the future course will be governed

The committee believes the cost of the
line between the two places named will
be not far from three millions Of dollars.
and IL the bill becomes a law at the pres
cnt session Of Congress the hope is eN-
pressed that the work may be under way
within a wear

other thing the bill provided was that be-
fore paper could be admitted to the mail
as second-ciass matter, the publisher must
satisfy the Department that he has a
legitimate list Of subscribers. This latter
proposition. Mr. Loud said. had been the
law for a quarter of'a century.
Mr.. H. c. Smith Of Michigan was given
an opportunity to speak by Mr.. Loud, who
supposed he was going TO favor the pending
bill. But after he had stated his purpose
to be to offer certain amendments. Mr
Loud humOrousiy observed that. IL those
amendments prevailed the bill would be
worse than the present law. Mr. Smith as
sured Mr. Loud that he would support the
bill even IL he could not get the amend
ments proposed He had been convinced
by the argument of Third Assistant Post
master General Madden that the bill ought
to pass in its present shape. IL il could not
be amended.
Further consideration OF the bill went
over until another time. and al Sis o'clock
the House adjourned until today.

A WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE.
The status OF the Porto Rican BilI
Lnid Before the President.

Laid Before the President.
An important conference between the
President and Senators Foraker, Spo7ner,
and Kean, members Of the Republican
special committee to secure harmony Of
party action on the Porto Ricau bill. was
held yesterday al the White House, when
the situation confronting the measure in
the Senate was thoroughly gone over.
Senator Kean remained only a short time
while Senators Foraker and Spooner we're
with the President for more than an hour
their interview terminating about fifteen
minutes after the regular time set for
the Cabinet meeting.
Beyond the statement made by Senator
Foraker that there would be no important
development in the situation for at least
a week none Of the Senators would dis
cuss what passed at the interview.
It was stated. however. that Mr. McKin-
ley displayed an inclination to abandon
his former position on the tariff provision
Of the bill. and intimated his willingness
to sanction Mr. Beveridge's free trade
amendment, IL. by so doing, harmony could
be restored. This view he is said to have
