 General Today. WILL RE TIRE SEPTEMBER 10 President is Glad of an Opportunity to Appoint Alabamian in the Regular S Army-Means Wheeler's Re-
 ltirement from Politics
WILL RETIRE SEPTEMBER 10

Washington, June 4.-(Special.) l.)-General Wheeler's friends rejoice at the presidents intention to appoint him brigadier gener- al in the regular army The appointment will probably go in tomorrow. General Wheeler serves as a regular only until September 10, when he becomes 64 years of age.
 Ever since General Wheelers distin- guished Cuban service the president has intended to appoint him in the regular service, being glad of the opportunity to honor distinguished Confederate officer, emphasizing the final destruction of ill., feeling arising from the war between the states
 The appointment will without doubt be promptly confirmed It seems to mean General Wheeler's retirement from active politics.

THE BOER ENVOYS SAY
 THEIR WOMEN DO NOT FIGHT

Cleveland, o. June 1.-The Boer envoys and their party received a number of callers at the Hollenden this morning. At 1:S0 D. m. they gave a reception, several hundred people attending. Abraham Fischer, when questioned concerning the published reports that Boer women were fighting in the trenches said:
 'The women of our country offered to share the hardships of the men, fight with them and if need be die with them for the fatherland. But the men would not allow it. They are willing to die for liberty, but would not permit their wives, daughters, sisters and mothers to fight in the trenches.
 ''Of course, there are women who have volunteered for hospital service, but the re-

to advance. Post Office Inspector Gould, who made the arrest after accommodating a lot of documentary evidence, says the fraud Is one of the largest the postal au- thorities have ever had to deal with, and that the graduates of the institution are practicing in every state and even abroad. He says frequent complaints of malprac- tice have been made against the holders of the diplomas of the institution.
 Inspector Gould has a bunch of unsigned certificates of practice for the state of Texas, and he says the name of the dis tr!ct clerk is forged to these for an extra compensation. Texas is said to have been the most fertile field for the graduates" of the institution. The British consul has made repeated efforts to run the Metropol- itan faculty out of business, as Great Brit ain is said to have been flooded with their diplomas. It Is said that dozens of grad uates" of Dr. Armstrong's institutions are practicing in India and in all parts of the world.

Cossacks to the Rescue

London, June 4.-According to a special dispatch from Shanghai, the Cossacks were dispatched to the rescue of the Belgians after a stormy interview with the Belgian minister, Baron de Vinck de Deux Orp and the members of the Tsung Ii Yamen.
 The dispatch also says:
 ''Over forty miles of bridges and stations on the Lu Yen railway have been destroy ed, and it will take months to repair the damage.
 ''The German and Austrian legation guards have arrived at Pekin. It is as- serted that the government is delaying the transmission of telegrams in order to con- ceal the movements of the Boxers. Appa- rently the Chinese officials will do nothing to prevent massacres or outrages unless the powers take vigorous, concerted &C., tion.'

Those not on guard will be held in reserve at the different police stations. None of the deputies will be used to guard the cars, the police being retained for that service.

Boxers Burn Huang Tsum

London, June 5.-The Pekin correspon- dent of the Times, telegraphing June 8, says:
 ''The boxers have burned Huang Tsun station on the Pekin-Tien Tsin railway. The railway service is dislocated and the foreign guards are necessary to police the line.
 ''The services of a party of -Cossacks were accepted on Sunday to accompany the relief party from Tien Tsin to rescue the mining engineers in the interior. The relief party returned without fulfilling it's mission.
 Two Russian officers have been wound ed by the boxers and another Russian de- tachment is sure to be sent to punish the assailants.
 ''The reported murders of the mission aries appear to be fictitious, although the fate of one British missionary is causing anxiety. Chinese who are associated with foreigners or with Christianity are being vigorously persecuted."

Philadelphia, June 4-George Dixon, ex- champion feather-weight of the world, and Tim Callahan, feather-weight of this city, spared six lively rounds at the Pennart Athletic club tonight, and Callahan sur rrised every one by the strong fight he put up.

 As to the recent events in the Transvaal, he said:
 We know the country, and understand what each movement means. We have not had definite information for several days from South Africa. When that is the case we always expect that our forces are doing something.
 Tn fact, from the meagre reports, it looks as if we had gotten in between them and their objective point.
 ''Boers are not used to being besieged Therefore, they will not attempt to hold Pretoria. The loss of the city would mean nothing to us. A Boer capital on an OK cart out in the veldt, anywhere under the shade of tree, with President Kruger and a few reams of paper, is all We want'
