FUTURE ARMY CHIEF

~ EN-. HENRY c. CoRBiN stands
good chance of being Gen
~ eral Miles successor as Com
mander-in-Chief of the United
States Army.
General Cortin's military career has
been one of brilliant success. During
the civil war he rose to the rank of
colonel at the age of twenty-three. and
also to the brevet rank of brigadier-
general of volunteers. He had com
menced the study of law previous to
the war. but. at the commencement of
hostiltes, entered the Union army as
second lieutenant, Seventy ninth Ohio
volunteers being then nineteen years
of age He served with the Army of
the Cumberland until the close of the
war. reaching the rank mentioned.
On May II, 1866, Corbin was appoint
ed second lieutenant in the regular
army and assigned to the Seventeenth
Infantry. On July IS of the same year
he was promoted TO captain in the
Thirty-eighth Infantry. On November
II. 1863 he was transferred to the
Twenty fourth Infantry. On January Il,
1880. Captain Corbin was appointed
major in the Adiutant Generals Bu-
reau. On June :. 1888 he became lieu
tenant colonel and assistant adjutant
general and was made colonel on May
20. 1896. On February %, 1898, just be-
fore the war with Spain. he arrived at
the grade of brigadier general and ad-
iutant general of the army, the head
of his bureau. In August, 1898, the
President appointed him major SEN
which commission
he declined.
General Corbin rendered most meri-
torious service during the war with
Spain by reascn of his great administra-
tive ability and tireless energy.
He won the unrcseryed confidence CT
both the President ard the Secretary o.
War. His voice was always infuentia!
in the determination of all importan;
military questions. and particularly in
all matters relating to the mohilizatioA
OF tho volunteers. At the close OF the
war. the Administration desired to re
ward General Corbin suitably for these
services. but having reached the nigh
est grade in his department. 1t was I'M
possible to promote him without action
by Congress-
There was some opposition TO raising
the office of adjutant general from the
grade OF brigadier general TO major geu-
eral. l was alleged that 1t would be
made a pretext for the instant demand
by the other ten staff chiefs for similar
rank, Much OF this antagonism was OBJ
waited, however. by so drawing the bill
that the new grade expires with Corbin s
retirement.
General Corbin's present rank does
not give him any additional authority.

500 year. His allowance for rent was
increased from $72O TO 1854 a year. He
does not retire until September 10, 1906
1t is, perhaps, not generally known,
that Corbin was with President Garfield
when he was .'lot. and at his bedside at
Elberon, where he died. General Cor
bin has had experience as an Indian
fighter, having served ten years on the
plains in Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona,
and Texas. He was also secretary OF the
Sitting Bull commission.

that went wrong. and his resignation

demanded openly by the press time and
time again. Nowhere was there evt-
depceda the slightest enthusiasm in his

the nominal credit for many of the most
important triumphs OF Craftsmanship

Washington dispatches announce
that the majority members Of the
