TWO MILITARY PROMOTIONS.
Gen. Greedy to Be Major General
and Col. Allen a Brigadisr.

On the retirement of Lieutenant General
A. r. Chaffee tomorrow, Major General
John c. Bates chief OF staff, viii be pro-
NOTED to the rank Of lieutenant general and
will continue his present duties at the War
Department until April next, when he will
be transferred to the retired list. Major
General II. C. Corbin will then be made
a lieutenant general and some other general
officer. probably Major General Arthur
Macarthur, will be made chief Of staff
without increase of rank until General Cor
bin retires In September next.
The promotion Of General Bates tomorrow
leaves a vacancy in the list of major gen.
erals, which will be filled by the appoint
ment Of Brigadier General A. w. Greedy,
chief signal officer, who will be succeeded
as head Of the Signal Corps by Colonel
James Allen, who will thus become brig
adler general Like the previous appoint
rnent of Commissary General Weston to be
major general in the line the transfer of
General Greedy from the staff to the line
confines the flow of promotions in the sub
ordinate grades to the staff department af
fected. which in the present instance is
the Signal Corps.
General Greedy, the Junior major general,
will be assigned to the command OF one of
the large military divisions, probably the
Pacific division at San Francisco, now tenn
porarily commanded, in the absence in In
dia of General Macarthur, by Major Gen.
for age February next.
What promotions will follow the retire.
ment Of General Sumner are subjects of
general speculation in military circles. 1t
is believed that the vacancy In the major
generaIcy in that case will be filled by ap-
potntme1t from the line of the army, thus
opening a wide field for promotions in the
different grades.

But who shall he be?
Inc one name that Is upon the republicans
