Gen. Joe Wheeler Sent 1t to the Press
ident Last November-Hns Re-
maincd Enacted Upon.

Washington, March 12.-It appears
that Gen. Wheeler did tender his res
ignation last fall. 1t was dated No
vember 2s, at place called Paniqui,
on the island of Luzon, and was not
cabled, but came by the slow process
of the mails.
However, it did not come directly to
the war department, but went to the
white house, where it has been re-
posing since it's arrival in Washing
ton. The war department officials
have just learned of It.
The generals resignation was not
accepted promptly by the president,
out of consideration for the officer.
Instead, he was ordered to report to
the war department at Washington.
His resignation will be accepted here,
and the effect of this action will be to
allow the officer his mileage and ex-
pcnses to Washington

mains of Abraham Lincoln were re-
moved from under the monument to

tempt was made by ghouls to steal
it. The body up to that time
lay in the crypt in the mausoleum,
but afterwards was removed and
placed under six feet of cement under
the shaft of the monument, under
protection of the Lincoln guard of
honor, then organized. The public
until recently believed the body was
still resting in the crypt. The re-
mains will lie in temporary vault

the remains of Lincoln lie Mrs. Lincoln,
Tod Lincoln and Robert Lincoln's only
child. The temporary vault is being
guarded day and night.
