CHANCES J~ U. s. ARMY.

= Washington, =. G., Aptil 13-Ihe
official life of a gallant warrior ex-
pires at midnight tonight, when, by
reason of the fact that tomorrow will
be the sixtyfourth anniversary of his
birth. Major General James F. Wade
will be retired from active service.
Gen. Wade is at present in command
of the Atlantic division. He is the
senior officer in his grade and the
second officer in rank in the army.
He is native of Ohio and a son of
Benjamin F. Wade, who served as
United States Senator from that state.
Gen. Wade served through the civil
war with the 9Th U. S. Cavalry.
The vacancy in the list of major
Gen. Wade is to be filled by the pro-
motion of Brig. Gen. William S. Nc
Caskey. commanding the department
of Texas. Gen. McCaskey is civil
war veteran. having entered the volun-
teer army in April, 1865. as captain
in the 18th Pennsylvania Infantry.
Major General Frederick D. Grant,
now commanding the Department OF
the East of New York, which is one
of the departments in the Atlantic
division. succeeds Gen. Wade in COM
mand of the Atlantic Division. He
will have that command in addition
to his present command of the depart
ment Of the east. The Atlantic di-
vision will be abolished June 80 next,
on which date there will be rear
rangement of the military department
commands. 1t is regarded as more
than probable that Gen. Grant will
remain at his present station after
the reorganization. AT any rate he
will retain that command until Major
General Leonard Wood, commanding
the Philippines division. reaches home
next spring. 1t is said at the War
Department that the fact that Gen.
Grant will be in personal command of
all the military at the jamestown ex-
position this summer will not affect
his regular duties at New York.

st. Petersburg, April 13.-Advices
from the Caucasus say that Russia
is assembling body of troops on the
Persian, frontier for a demonstration
which, 1t is thought, will soon be nec-
essary. Newspaper correspondents
are not allowed to telegraph news of
the movements of the troops, but it is
known that twenty railroad cars load
ed with artillery and three regiments
of Cossacks passed through Kars, on
their way south last week. The Rus
sian diplomats describe the condition
of Persia as complete choas, but they
hope that the moral effect produced
by the massing Of troops on the
frontier will be sufficient to enable the
shah to take the necessary steps to
restore order without an actual in
vasion. The dissolution of the ma
tiOnal assembly may be necessary.
