RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.
Career of Gen. Wilson, Most Accom-
 plished Officer in Army.


 plished Officer in Army. General James Harrison Wilson has had one of the most romantic careers Of any Of the celebrated living Gener- als. He is regarded today as probably the most accomplished officer, all- around, in the United States army. He is full of energy, shrewd, diplomatic, and, as Horace Porter says, probably the best man to pull the American nation out of a difficulty in America" '" When our rupture with Spain first occurred General Wilson was out in China but he promptly started for his native land, and got here in tiIre t0 overhaul all the forts on our sea board that might be attacked in case Spain's fleet was enterprising. This was his service in the spanish American war. From the time of the civil war, in which he distinguished himself for his valuable services throughout that con- flict, he filled many important posi- tiCns. In the 7Os he went out to Egypt on General Grants recommendations. and laid out some of the permanent Qualifications around Alexandria and Cairo. among others that great work
 
 when the famous revolt of 1882. against the khedival authority, led by Arabi Pasha, occurred, and was put down by General Sir Evelyn Wood, assisted by British fleet. For this service he received $40, ,OO0
 During the civil war he naG, early in that struggle. the good fortune to at tract the attention of General Grant who never failed to have implicit con- fidence in the ability of Wilson. He offered him the position of chief engi- neer on his staff. which was a tremen- dous promotion for a man but very little over 21 years of age. But he had stanch friend in Horace Porter, classmate from Pennsylvania, who was Grants chief of ordnance. He was shortly afterward promoted to a brig adler generalship for the admirable way in which he handled the difficult work of laying out the lines for the siege of Vicksburg, as he had previous ly done at Corinth.
 The following story is told of his entry into the United States military academy on July 1, 1855. At this time he was tall. square-faced youngster from Illinois, not yet out of his ma jority. But General Delafield, who was then inspector general and superin- tendent looked at the Illinois lad more than once. Having undergone the mental examination it came the turn of the Illinois lad to be questioned by the distinguished soldier.
 What is your name, sir?" asked General Delafeld
 Wilson. sir was the answer
 Have you had any previous military instruction, MT. Wilson"
 None, sir"
 That will do for the present." and it served fer all time, for Wilson com mitted no misdemeanor that required the attention of the superintendent. There were two Wilson's matriculated that year of 1855. The other was Gen eral John M. Wilson, who also gradu- ated high in his class and was assigned

If anything is settled about the position
Of the American people on any great
issue the question is settled that an

against the democratic folly of advo-
eating the pulling down of the flag in
