GENERAL FUNSTON.

During the civil war he served in the
Eighth Illinois regiment, first as ser
geant in Company Il and later as first
lieutenant. In 1862 he was made a
captain and about a year later major.
III 1854 he was promoted to lieutenant
colonel and in 1865 was brevetted colo
mel for his services in the campaign
against Mobile.
General Wheaton was made II major
in the regular army in 1891 and lieu
tenant colonel of the Twenty-second in
fantry in 1895
Colonel Jacob H. Smith. promoted to
brigadier general, is another civil war
officer. He was made lieutenant of
the Second Kentucky infantry in 1861,
was promoted to captain in 1862 and at
the close of the war was made a cap
tain of the Eighteenth regular infan-
Cry. In June, 1893. he was made lieu
tenant colonel of the Twelfth infantry
and later colonel of the Seventeenth in
fantry.
One interesting feature connected
with the appointment of General Fun
ston to the regular army with the rank
of brigadier general is that he is likely
to become the lieutenant general com
manding the army. The recent appoint
mcnt of officers to be brigadier gener-
ais showed that General Leonard
Wood would become senior major gen
eral of the army in about ten years
: aud thus become eligible for appoint
J ment as lieutenant general command
! ing the army. Should he be appointed
? to tho head of the army, he would con.
, tinue in that position over ten years
during which time General j. Franklin
! Bell and General Jacob Smith. the off
). rcrs next preceding Funston, would re
: tire. Their retirement would make hin
8 the senior major general commanding
: the army upon General Woods retire
J mcnt. His selection then to be the lieu
tenant general Of the army would b'
probable.

dents trip to the Pacific coast is pro.
ceeding slowly at the White House,

grcgate at the various places at which
he will stop. Some set speeches at sew
eral places are already arranged for

platform speeches to the multitudes.
Another feature of the trip will be
the substitution of drive through q

ANARCHIST ARRESTED.
Plan to Kill King Victor Emmanuel
Of Italy Fooled.
YOUNG QUEEN is TERRIFIED.
Prisoner, an Italian Thirty-three
Years Old, Recently In America.
Plot to Explode Internal Ma
chine Under the Palace.

Rome, March 31.--Another anarchist
who has recently returned from the
United States has been arrested on
charge of being concerned i'll plot to
destroy the lives of the king and queen
by means OF the explosion of some in
fernal machine in the newly construct
ed tram car tunnel which runs imme-
diately under the royal palace OF the
Quirinal.
The prisoner bears the name of Dio-
nisio la Vecchia, is native or Foggio,
33 years of age. of medium height and
rather thin, with dark hair and black
mustache, while his eyes are of a-whit-
ish gray, which give a strange look to
his yellow brown skin.
While nothing much is known Of his
career i'm the United States except that
he arrived at Genoa from New York,
the evidence in the hands of the au-
thorities is such as TO leave no doubt as
to his connection with the anarchist
cause and as 10 his project to accom-
! plish both the destruction of the Quiri-
nal and Of the lives of all those housed
beneath its roof. the king and queen
first and foremost.
| Court and oHcial Circles Alarmed.
The greatest secrecy is maintained
about the matter But so great is the
alarm which has been created by the
affair in court and official circles that
il is doubtful whether the tunnel be-
meath the Quirinal will be thrown open
to tram car traffic as long as the palace
continues to be occupied as the head
quarters of the sovereign at Rome.
Al the time when King Humbert
foolishly granted permission to the
tramway companies to run the tunnel
beneath the palace he was warned by
the police of the danger which it would
present. since it would be the easiest
thing in the world for any passenger
riding through the tunnel on one of the
surface cars to drop unseen some infer
nal machine which in five or ten min
utes would explode, blowing the palace
above into ruins.
The authorities pointed out that II
would be almost impossible to devise
safeguards against dangers of this
kind. When Victor Emmanuel came t,
the throne last year he was urged tt
repeal the permission for the construc
tion of the tunnel but declined TO d,
anything of the kind on the grount
that his fathers wishes would Away,
he sacred TO him.
The discovery of the present plot ant
the arrest of the anarchist intrustet
with its execution have terrified I,
such degree the young queen, who il
on the eve of becoming Il mother, tha
either the tunnel. which has been com
pleted. but not yet thrown open to traf
iir. will have to be closed or its openn.

built for the king and queen in SOM
