WHEELER NOT IGNORED.
War Department Says He Was Act.
ing Under General Macarthur,

Dallas, Tex, March Ism. B. Davis,
who served with General Wheeler in
the confederate army, recently wrote TO
the war department concerning the re-
ports that General Otis had intention
ally ignored mentioning General
Wheeler in his reports concerning the
fighting in the Philippines. Mr.. Davis
today received a long reply from John
A. Johnston, assistant adjutant gen.
eral. in which he says:
1T has not been usual for General
Otis to cable to this department the
particular service Of individual officers
unless they were operating independ-
emily. General Wheeler's brigade was
attached to General MacArthur's di-
vision. General Macarthur was the
commander, and all operations in which
this brigade participated, so far as the
department has been advised, were per-
sonally conducted by General MacAr-
thur"
The letter then names engagem ents
in four campaigns, from Sept. 8 to Nov.
IL, in which General Wheeler's brigade
was in action. and concludes:
No official reports of these engage
ments in which the special perform
ance of brigade commanders are likely
TO have been mentioned have az yet
been received at this department.

Cause a Plain One.

Ex-CongreSsman Charles S. Hartman.
of Montana, who was one Of the leading
bolters at st. Louis. and is now Montana
member Of the silver Republican national
committee, said today:
The future course of the men who left
the Republican party for the sake or
principle in 1895 is a perfectly plain one.
The course of those who pretended 10 be
adverse to the Republican party in 1895
for the purpose of aiding their own poll
teal ambitions without regard to principle
Is equally plain. Men who were advocates
Of silver and supporters and defenders OF
the Chicago platform because of a sin
cere belief in the doctrine of that plat
form. will support the declarations Of the
platform again when reaffirmed in 1900
without regard as to whether their sup
port will aid or hinder their individual
personal ambition. The trimmeTS and
jelly-backs. who are ready to take any
side of any question. in order to further

Price of Their Treaehery.

cit will not be difficult for such per-
sons to satisfy their own minds and con-
sciences on this complete reversal of Their
former declared creedS. for in some cases
they are drawing salaries from this ad-
miniStratiOn as the price of their changed
opinions and in others they hope to
achieve political preferment in exchange
for their violated promises. For example,
who has been more enthusiastic in his aC-
vocacy of bimetaliism than the chairman
of the great hippOdrOme that President
Mckinley sent to Europe ostensibly 10
achieve international bimetallism, but
actually to destroy il. Who has for
gotten the splendid argument of Senator
Carter in January, 1895, in advocacy OF the
restoration of bimetalliSm?
'tOf course in the case of Senator Man
tie no one would presume 10 say that in
point of argument or intelligent support
he has ever contributed anything TO the
cause, but his protestations Of loyalty 10
the restoration Of silver were exceedingly
fervent until convincing argument of the
administration against bimetalliSm was
presented to him in the shape of an ap-
pOintment as a member Of the industrial
commission
1.-The same contradictory positions have
been assumed by other western senators
