D. Grant. son of the great commander now IN
charge Of the Department of the East, with head
quarters at Governors Island has been chosen by
the President for promotion to the rank OF major
general next Tuesday, the retirement of Gen

much speculation, and removes the chance of a.
fight on the part of the friends Of General Grant
who were prepared to resist any attempt pro-

General Grant. being the senior brigadier has
been regarded as entitled to advancement at the
next vacancy III the higher grade, and had he been
passed over there would have been much comment
throughout the service.
There will have TO be some important changes

City Paymaster Zimmerman, IN note to Con-

disappearance is due to anything but accident that
the drygoods stores OF Brooklyn and Queens win

established in the stores for that purpose seldom
ask any formal Identification Any well clad man
or woman who is willing to indorse such check
can get one cashed without difficulty.
It is question If the bond given by the express
company to indemnify the city could be held liable
for any loss to a private individual through the
negligence dishonesty of the companys en-

The Boyd Dispatch Company issues formal
statement covering its side and giving the name

DEBATE ON RATE BILL.
Leaders Hope to Have Vote ON
Measure on Wednesday.


Washington, Feb S.-The fifth day OF debate on
the Hepburn Railroad Rate bill in the House in
cluded many of the most important speeches on the
measure, and the House leaders now confidently
expect to bring the bill to a vote next Wednesday
Representative Hepburn the author OF the
ure, IS stil to be heard. and will devote himself to
some extent to replying to the addresses delivered
in opposition, notably those of Representatives Mo-
Call of Massachusetts. and Sbley, Of Pennsyl-
vana-
1t is the intention OF the managers Of the bill,
both the Republican and Democratic Sides TO de-
feat every amendment offered. no matter how
strongly it may be pressed. on the ground that
the Hepburn bill embodies the best thought OF tho
House on this question. and that 1t presents g
solution on which all can agree. Although it is a
foregone conclusion that the bill will pass the
House. the efforts 20 amend 1t may cause some
delay and proong the discussion The five minute
rule on debate will go into effect Tuesday. 1t Is
expected that record vote Will be cast. and the
present estimate IS that not more than score
OF these votes will be adverse.

the temporary regulations for strengthening the
hands Of the government in dealing with politi-
cal crimes. They viii soon receive the imperial
