If any prolongation Of the concession Is to

GENERAL DANIEL n. FUCKER.

Washington, Jan General Daniel II.
Rucker, the oldest retired officer of the
United States army died at his home here
to-day, aged ninety eight.
seventy-two years ago Andrew Jackson
appointed young lieutenant to the United
States army. The military career begun
then was not broken till yesterday then
only by death That was Major General
Daniel H. RucSer (retired). the oldest Amer
lean soldier. He had lived through every
war of the nation but the first AS lad
of fifteen he was filed with the fighting
lust by tales of the Black Hawk War then
raging. The campaigns against Osceola,
the Seminole, found him in the service.
With Kit Carson he fought. the earliest
battles of the Far West. He was soldier
when L. S. Grant was a school boy. He
followed the reports of the last skirmish
of the Philippine campaigns with a mind
as clear and active as when he first donned
a uniform.
General Rucker was born in Beileville,
n. j., in 1872, and went to Michigan as a
boy to establish himself in that new coun-
try. His father wanted to make busi-
ness man of him, but tales of battle picked
up around peninsula military post gave
him a desire for the army. His initial as
at Fort Leavenworth, on the extreme bor-
der of civilization. 1t meant a two-hun-
dred-mile ride over the plains alone. and
the young tenderfoot made it in safety
against the advice and forebodings of every
veteran who knew of his intentions. He
was soon ordered into the Cherokee coun-
try and saw almost continuous Indian
fighting till the Mexican War broke out.
At Buena Vista, under General Zachary
Taylor he distinguished himself for braV
cry and was n ade a major.
When the Civil War broke out he was
appointed colonel of volunteers and put
to work in the quartermaster department
in Washington. In 1868 he became briSa-
der general of volunteers, and in 1865 a
brevet major general. In 1866 he was mus
tered out and went back to the regular
service as colonel and assistant quarter
master general. AS such he served till
1882, when he was made brigadier general
and quartermaster general. In that year he
was retired, at the age of seventy-one.
In all the forty-five years of his active
service General Rucker was never wounded
and never had days illness. His name
was never entered on the sick list. Since
his retirement he had lived in Washington
with his daughter. Irene, who is the widow
of General phil" Sheridan. He himself
was twice married.

WILLIAM SELIGMAN.

William Seligman died yesterday in Paris.
He was the second oldest of the eight
brothers constituting that well known fam
lily of bankers. AS senior partner of Selig-
man Brothers & Co. and dean of the
American Chamber of Commerce, he had
been a familiar figure in the French capital
for many years. His youthfulness and ac-
tivity to the very end of his life of eighty
eight years, and particularly his resem-
blance to Louis Philippe, had won him the
title Of THE Grand Old Man"

can citizen by adopting the Democratic
political faith, but when the slavery ques-
tion became acute he turned to the Repub-
lican ranks and voted for Abraham Lin
coin
AT the outbreak of the war Mr.. Seligman
came to New York City and established.
with his brother Joseph, a drygoods firm
here with a branch III California. The
branch subsequently became the Anglo
Californian Bank, Limited. 1t was taken
in charge by the brothers Jesse. who died
in 1898; Abraham, who died in 1885; Leopold,
now a partner in the London branch, ana
Henry who died In Germany last year.
In 1862 the New York firm became the
present banking house of j. & W. Seiig-
