HAS BEGUN HIS NEW DUTIES.
Gen. Chaffee Acting as Chief of Staff
of the ARMY

General Chaffee has entered actively on
the discharge of his new duties as chief of
staff under special detail issued by di-
rection of the President 1t is not believed
that General Gillespie, who has been nonli-
mated as a major general with view to
his assignment to the general staff, will
relinquish the Office of chief of engineers
in advance of his confirmation by the SEN
ate in his new grade. The same state
ment will apply to the offices of paymaster
bents continuing in office until their pro-
motions are confirmed
General Young has left here for Pitts
burg to visit his sister, who is a resident
of that city, and will shortly start for Cuba
for the benefit of his health and also to
look over the battlefelds of Ell Caney and
San Juan Hill. Before leaving this city
he presented pair of lieutenant general s
shoulder straps to his successor, General
Chaffee, with the following explanatory
note:
Private Young, Company K, 18th Penn
sy1vania Volunteers Infantry, presents his
compliments to Private Chaffee. Troop K,
9Th United States Cavalry, and asks him
to accept this pair of lieutenant general s
shoulder straps. January 9, 1904"
1t is mentioned as curious fact that
three officers Of the army have recently de-
clined to go on the retired list with in
creased rank. They are Brigadier General
adler General A. w. Greedy chief signal
officer, and Brigadier General g. NJ. Ram
dali, commanding the Department of Luzon.
Each of these officers was rendered a major
generalcy on condition of his immediate
retirement, and in each case the offer was
ferrGd active duty to promotion under such
conditions.

ers of the Chicago. Rock Island & Pa

ing two weeks and authorize an issue
of new bonds To the amount of $780,
600. which will be sold to the banking
firm OF Speyer & Co. This announce
ment is made In this city. one state
ment being that 1t is official but an
other declares that there Is no truth IN
it. If 1t goes thru, II means the re-
financing OF the entire Rock Island
system. The plan originally was for
the issuance of s250,ooO,0oO bonds, but
amount has been reduced by $780,
100000 and to proportions which vii.
permit of its being handled with IA
cility.
The advent of Speyer & Co, into
Rock Island affairs and the consequent
displacing of the First National bank,
which has hitherto been back of all
Rock Island financial schemes, are
and to presage revolution in the
management OF the vast railroad sys-
tenn, which the Moores have built up

Sheep.
There was an active general de-
mand, prices firm. some yearlings AMI
prime wethers 10 higher, while some
lambs sold about five lower than the
best prices last week.
Current prices for lambs are the best
that many of the old time feeders and
traders remember of ever having re-
ceived thus early in the season for A
choice class. Values for sheep have
often been above their present level at
this time of year, but as was antici-
pated here some days ago. and as fore
told by some experts in the trade some
weeks ago, there is a scarcity of strics-
ly choice fat fambs that is likely %
continue during good portion of this
month at least. AS yet no lambs are
moving from the Colorado feed lots and
the shipments from the st. Paul region
are very meager, most of the choice
western lambs coming here now being
from the big feeders of the smaller
towns of Minnesota and Wisconsin,.
Michigan Is marketing few choice fed
western lambs and has larger crop
of lambs on feed to come a little later
than ever before in her history. On this
account some of the wise traders In thi;
line and old-tlme feeders are suggest
ing to their customers in the country
the advisahlity of getting all lambs
that are fat and of good weight AMI
quality here ahead of the rush which
may be expected to begin early in Feb
ruary and continue in pretty larg
volume for several months. Lambs
that are coming here now and selling
at $5.50@6.S0 are making very salts
factory profits to the feeders.
