that the town would grant him on the
west point Of the rock OF Grand bay q
space sufficient for his burial. To this
island rock. accessible only at low tide,
the body OF the great French littera-
teur was brought at his death.
A granite cross marks the spot. At
high tide the rock becomes an island.
and the waves OF the Atlantic beat
against this lonely grave. The aftieth
anniversary Of the funeral was cele-
brated by n pilgrimage to the Grand
bay. each person being requested to
take some fioral tribute.
After solemn mass in the cathedral

two members Of the French academy.

GENERAL WOODS PROMOTION

In General Wilson's testimony before
the Senate Committee he gave the par
ticulars Of conversation he had with
Mr.. Roosevelt before he became Presi-
dent The President says politely that
General Wilson is mistaken. and II is
clear Lat there is an error somewhere.
It should be easy to Establish whether
General Wood was present at certain
engagements. and if it sho>id tram
spire that during the battle Of San
Juan he was in the rear looking for
ammunition. that battle must not be
used as indicating his qualities under
fire and as an argument for his pro-
motion.
The presumption is that an officer
Of the army making such declaration
would be pretty well informed and the
presumption grows into certainty
when that officer is General Wilson.
There can be here nothing but lapse
of memory and as an officer. the pre-
sumption is that General Wilson knows
what he is talking about.
But whether General Wood was at
San Juan or in the rear, the question
Of his fitness for supreme command
remains. An engagement Of thet ma
ture by no means qualities man with
out previous military training for the
technical and important duties Of a
Major General. To promote him to
the place from civil life at a bound is
to acknowledge in him extraordinary
qualities that are so transcendent as
TO make training in the military school
and actual experience in the service
unnecessary. The American people
recognize General Woods worth. but
we doubt whether they think recogni-
ton has taken the proper form.

This action is in line with the policy
Of The Evening Journal to place on

strict accord with the steady growth
Of a newspaper that made an actual net

comparison Of the amount Of adver-

The Evening Journal printed 1880
inches of advertising, while in the first

THEATRICAL NOTES

The second subscription concert to
be given by the Philadelphia Orchestra
in this city will take place at the Grand
Opera House on Wednesday evening,
January 1S, and promises to be one Of
the most brilliant musical affairs Of
the season. The orchestra, which
made such a fine impression at its
first concert here, neece no further pre-
fatory notices as to it's excellence, and
the fact that Paul Volkmann, the tenor,
who will be the soloist on this occa-
sion, achieved a triumph at his Phila-
delphia appearances with the orchestra
last week, vOuches for this part of the
program. The compositions to be
played combine the classic and the ro-
mantle in a most delightful manner,
and Conductor Scheel has acceded to
numerous requests and changed the
first number from the Rienzi Overture,
as originally planned, to the Tam
hauser Overture.
