GEN. WHEELER RETIRES.
Famous Ex- Confederate Leaves Depart

Additionally of Soldiers.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Brig. Gen. Jo-
seph Wheeler, commander of the De-
partment of the Lakes, retired to-day
from active service in the United
States army This is made necessary
because of his reaching the age of
81. Gen. Wheeler leaves the army with
regret. He said: 81 recognize the
justice of the law which retires Off
GERS when they reach the age of Ga
years. But L am myself am still Wig
orous and am, in fact, no older than
= was 20 years ago." Gen. Wheeler, in
speaking of the army, said: ''The
reason [ love the army, and always
have, is largely because of the COM
partnership of the noblest-natured
men. Their loyalty, devotion, chiv-
airy and sacrifices are good to see.
See what an army endures and how
the brave men endure it. That is a
fine thing and makes one honor his
fellow-men. 1t is not the fighting
that gives one pleasure, but the
thought and knowledge that you are
accomplishing something and per-
forming duty that gives delight. I
have seen the noblest and most chival-
rous qualities of human nature ex-
hibited on the battlefield. The major
ity of men are chivalrous, and when
they see few examples of chivalry
and devotion the sentiment permeates
them"

Mr.. Bryan Talked Politics to an Organise
zion Named In His Honor ut the
Sherman House In Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-William j. Bryan
was the guest of the Nebraska Bryan
club of Chicago Monday at a recep-
ton held at the Sherman house. Col
Bryan met several hundred people
after which he was introduced by Mr..
NJ. w. Cannon, president of the club.
Mr.. Bryan said in part:
Our people are aggressive The repub-
Iicans are on the defensive. We are at
lacking the republicans. They are trying
to explain and to aefend, and I believe
they VIII ind 1t impossible to defend
their policies before the American peo-
pie. We have a country now in which
the people can determine what they want.
am willing that we shall initiate what
ever other nations have that is good but
do not believe this nation is compelled
by force of circumstances to initiate any
thing that 1t does not like and does not
want. If this nation wants a colonial
policy it can have it. If this nation wants
to own people, it can own them. 1t will
have to change its constitution to do it,
but we can change the constitution if
necessary. go on the theory that the
American people can do whatever they
went to do. They may lose their own
liberties In the attempt, they may spend
great deal of money, they may sacrifice a
great many lives, but the American peo-
pie can do what they want to; but when
they do q thing, they must recognize that
in doing it they must assume RESPONSE
bility for what they do. They cannot re-
peal the laws of God. They cannot change
the laws of nature, nor can they pre-
vent the coming of the penalties that
will come with the violation of human
rights, whether the violation come from
an individual or group of individuals, or
a great nation. In this campaign we are
standing upon the great fundamental
principles of human rights and human
liberties. We insist that it is not a Ques-
ton of what this nation can do, it is a
question of what this nation ought to do,
and no president can tell the people what
their duty is. They decide that for them
selves. No president can tell us what
our destiny is. It is what we make it,
and in the hands of the American peo-
pie we leave these great problems with
the confident belief that the patriotism
equal to this emergency as they have
been equal to all the emergencies of the
past.

extraordinary power for the complete

gives him authority to make any
terms according to his own discretion
without referring them to the en-
peror. This is unusual authority and,
it is claimed at the Chinese legation,
gives Ii Hung Chang credentials ade-
