TWO TEXAS STATUES.
Miss Ney, the Sculptor, Will Arrive
Here Tomorrow.

Arrangements are being made at the
Capitol today for placing in position In
Statuary Hall the two marble figures which
are en- route to this city as the contribution
of the state of Texas to the gallery of
eminent Americans The statues Of the
lone star state are Of General Sam Hous-
ton and General Stephen F. Austin, the
two favorite sons of the great southwest
ern commonwealth. The marbles arrived
in New York day before yesterday on the
steamer Princess Irene from Genoa, Italy,
where they were created by Miss Eliza beth
Ney.
Miss Ney arrived in Baltimore yesterday
on the steamer Breslau from Bremen, and
is expected in this city tomorrow morning
at II o'clock. She will proceed at once to
the Capitol for conference with Mr.. FL
liott Woods, superintendent of the build
ing.
Miss Ney Is welllknown sculptor. She
is a niece of Marshal Ney, the celebrated
French military hero. Miss Ney came to
this country some years ago and took up
her residence first in Georgia and afterward
in Texas, where, at Austin, she maintains a
studio. Miss Ney also has a studio abroad.
She has executed a number of notable
works The state of Texas commissioned
her to execute the statues for the group at

ADVANCEMENT OF OFFICERS.
Opinion by Judge Advocate Genera
Davis on Recent Act.

Judge Advocate General Davis has rem
dered an opininon in regard to the applica-
ton of the recent act Of Congress pro-
viding for the advancement by one grade
of officers on the retired list who served
creditably during the war Of the rebellion.
One provision of the act is that 1t shall
not apply to any officer who received an
advance of grade since the date of his re-
tirement or who has been restored to the
army and placed on the retired list through
special legislation. General Davis ex-
presses the opinion that such prohibition
does not apply to officers who were retired
under the act Of 1866, which authorized the
retirement of officers permanently disabled
the full rank Of the command held by them
at the time they were wounded.
That provision was for the benefit of off,
GERS serving with the volunteers who sub
sequently served in the regular army in
lower grades. The judge advocate general
regards it. as doubtful whether officers
who, on being examined for promotion and
found incapacltated by reason of disabili-
ties incident to the service, were placed
on the retired list with the grade to which
they would have been promoted had they
not been disabled are entitled to the bene-
fits OF the new law. In order to determine
that point he suggests that the names of
such officers be submitted to the Senate for
confirmation
The judge advocate general holds also
thorized to make recess appointments of
all officers now on the retired list entitled
to the advancement of grade under the
law

Activity on Both Sides.


No direct information has been received
here as to whether Gen. Kurokfs army has
advanced from its position on the Yalu
river, but 1t is known that the Japanese
are reconnoitering south Of Feng-Wang-
Cheng and along the Littoral, and land
ing near Taku-Shan, in order that the en-
emy might establish himself on the right
flank Of the Russians is considered prob
able. A sharp lookout is being kept north
east Of Feng-Wang-Cheng to prevent the
possibility OF a fianking movement from
that direction, but 1t Is understood that no
signs Of the enemy have been discovered.
Gen. Kuropatkin's plans are being care
fully guarded.
The general staff insists that hardly
more than 1000 Russians were actually
engaged In the recent battle on the Yaiu,
while the enemy had five times that num-
ber. and there was an almost similar dis
parity in the number Of the Russians guns.
Asks for His Dismissal.
It is reported that Gen. Kuropatkin has
asked the emperor to dismiss Lieut.. Gen.
Zassalitch for disobedience of orders.
Such action would not be surprising.
Among the many rumors afiOat which
are not confrmable is one that the en-
peror intends to proclaim the mobiliza-
