Washington. April l9.--Nelson A. Miles
Will shortly be promoted TO the grade OF
lieutenant general OF the army OF the
United States and at the game time Adju-
tant General Corbin will be made major
general. Yesterday afternoon the SUBJ
committee OF the senate military commit
tee on the army appropriation bill agreed
to an amendment which provides that tho
major general commanding the army OF
the United States shall be entitled 20 the
grade. pay and emoluments OF lieutenant
general and that upon his retirement he
shall continue TO draw the pay OF an Of
/ fcer of the rank OF lieutenant general II
is also specially provided in the amend
mcnt that the present senior major gem
eral commanding tho army shall be the
| first officer to enjoy these benefits. In
addition to this the subcommittee has
provided that the officer now acting as
adiutant general shall draw the pay and
allowances of major general and is evil
IDENTIFY designed as a reward TO General
Corbin, AS soon as Secretary Root heard
OF the action Of the committee this morn
ing no hastened to the capitol and, pro-
ceeding to the room of the senate commit
tee on military affairs, he protested vigor-
ously against the amendment. He insst-
ed that the proposed change was uncon-
stitutionsl and the committee was trying
/ to deprive the president Of some OF his
prerogatives. The secretary seemed to be
fan more concerned over the enforced pro-
motion Of General Miles than over the
elevation OF General Corbln. but the com.
mlttee Insisted that IL had not exceeded
| It's prerogatlves and, to the contrary many
prooedents for the proposed action are
! To be found in the statutes. The cases OF
I Sheridan and Ainsworth were cited as
conspicuous incidents. That Secretary
Root failed to impress his views upon the
committee IN evidenced from the fact that
after ne retired the full committee upanl-
mously decided TO indorse the recon-
nendntion OF the subcommittee and as n
consequence the army appropriation bill
viii contain clause providing for the
creation Of the virtual grade OF lputcnapt
general Of the army and the elevation OF
General Corbin from brlgadier TO a ma
ior general.
