THffBSDAY, FEB. J, 1906. H. A.J LONDON. Editor. Tee death of General Joseph t Wheeler removes one of the most distinguished survivors of the : War bet ween the States. He died last Thursday at the residence f his sister in the city of New York after six days sickness from ; pneumonia, aged sixty nine years Ha was one of the most famous -cavalry 'cnmmaudeis this country 'Jiiis'fiTer oroduced and attained 'the high rank of Lieutenant-Gen aral . i the Confederate army. -Not only was he so distinguished as a cavalry commander, but he tras a prominent member of Con gress for twenty years4 and during our skirmish with Spain (for it could not be calf d a war) he was A Major-Geuerai in the Unijted States army and commanded as manv men lir blue as he ever commanded in gray. It was chiefly through his efforts that Gen? Shafter dil not withdraw from the attack on Santiago. It seemed strange that the officer who contributed so much to our victory at Santiago was the same who so often defeated the United States troops. There are now only three sur- vivipg Lieutenant-Generals of the Confederate army. Stephen D. Lee, A, P, Stewart and Simon Boliver Buckner, all of whom were in the western army. The name of "Wheeler's cavalry" be came quite notorious in this sc- j tion toward the close of the war, because of the horses stolen and J other outrages committed by strag glers and marauders who claimed that they belonged to Wheeler's pavalry. In a conversation with Chin. Wheeler at the New Orleans Reunion in 1903 about these ma randers he told this writer that those men did not belong to his command, Ha was buried at Arlington pemetery with every mark of re spect and with impressive cere monies. In the long funeral pro cession were many Confederate veterans, some of them having.be longed to his famous cavalry, M ho had come from their distant homes to pay their last tribute of respect to their old commander. An incident occurred last week that strikingly illustrates the re conciliation between the North and the South, and how complete ly obliterated are the bitter feel ings that were engendered by our unfortunate war. At the annual banquet given on Wednesday night of last week by the Confederate Veterans Camp ju New York City the chief guest was Gen. Fred Grant, a son of Gen. U. S. Grant. Not only was he an honored guest at that Con federate banquet, but, on his mo tion, a resolution was adopted that steps be taken to make the one hundreth anniversary of Les birth (January ID, 1907) a national day of memorial. This aafc was eminently right and prop er, for aH Americans (whether living in the South or in the North) should be prond of such an American as Gen.. Lee and bo glad to honor his memory in every way possible, Th$ Nayal authorities seem at last determined to break up brutal baling at the Naval Academy. Several midshipmen have been tried recently and dismissed from the academy, among them being young Stephen Decatqr. It seems Ench a pi(y that a youth bearing a name so highly honored should be dismissed in disgrace from the Nayy, which had been so glorified with the brilliant exploits first Stephen Decatur.

Tue House of liepreseutatnes has passed the "Statehood" bill, which is for the admission of Ok lahoma and Indian Territory as one state and of Arizona and New Mexico as another state." IE is not) certaiu, but it "is probable, that the Senate will - pass' this bill. Nearly fifty. Republicans voted with the Democrats against this bill. The Republican mai rify v - ed for the bill, because if Arizona and New Mexico are admitted as separate states, th?y might elec four Democratic Senators, a It is very unjust to the people of both Arizona and New Mexico that they should be forced to be ' rr t come one state. J.ne people o each state oppose the cousolida tion, and it is like making a couple marry against their consent. Arizona has an area of 113,000 square miles, and New Mexico 122.5S0, making the combined area of both five times the size of Ncrth Carolina. Each of the two territories has a much larger pop ulation than many states had when they were admitted, and there is no just" reason why each should not be admitted as a sepa rate state. Many Lost ia Shipwreck. Seattle, Washington, Jan. 2C- The steamer City of Topeka, tent to the rescue of the persons on board the Valencia, which struck on a reef near Cape Beale and was pounded to pieces more than six score of lives being lost arrived in Seattle early this morning with twenty-three survivors aboard. A majority of these remained on board the steamer until the ol tices of the Pacific Steamship Company were opened this morn ing, ihey were taken to a hotel and provided for. Not a man who was saved brought anT of his per sonal effects off the wreck with the exception of the clothing he wore and what few articles were in his pockets. The total number saved, accord ing to the figures of the officials of the company, is forty, includ ing three men found on Turrett Island, and one man believed to be alive on the island, but who, it is expected, has been located by Indians. This includes three re ported on the beach near Klane wak. The tug Pioneer, leturning from the wreck last night, report ed nothing left of the hull ot the Valencia, Sixty-oue persons are believed to have been aboard the Valencia when she broke up. A list was completed today which does not include those who had been drowned before the wreck went down. Dwcllinz Rent by Caicb. Worchester, Mass., Jan. 28. A dynamite bomb hurled through a second-story window of the house of Paul Mosczknski early this morning, exploded and tore away the rear part of the house, blow ing out the floors and rear wall Twenty-two persons were as leep in the house The wife of Daniel C.Bootk, who was ill, was rendered insane by the explosion. She was taken to a hospital to night. The cap of the bomb went through the wall of the house, 40 Richland street, and was found 150 feet away in a picture frame in the home of William J. Ryland. The force of the explosion shook that whole section of the city. Miss Valeska Burkvicz, aged 32, was asleep in the room adjoining where the explosion took place. She was buried under debris, but not seriously hurt. A second bomb, eight inches long and made of two and a half inch gas pipe, was found in the yard and is in possession, of the chief of police. The police are looking for Frank Czybouowski and his wife, form erly part owners of the building, from possession . of which they were evicted by mortgage pro ceedings, , High-Priced Sneeze. Chicago, Jan. 27. Probably the highest priced sneeze on record has found its way into the Chica gro courts. The effort is appraised at 50,000 by the sneezer. G. L.

The vote as recorded is 165 to 195. a maioritv '"of .-thirty, for the rule that will brin? the statehood bill to a final vote this week. It is the history of every important measure in past - congresses. As has been pointed out in- these let ters there is no such thinsr as" a close vote in the House. If it" is Known in advance, as it is always known, that a measure is going to be defeated by. one or two votes, then there is a rush for the band wagon and the measure passes by a respectable majority, no'matter how rcaoy or the opposit oi have previously been pledged' to vote against it. That has been the case with the rnle on the statehood bill, and there is little prospect that the bill itself will meet with any oth er fate. If it does, it will merely prove that -the insurgents were wiser in partv manoeu vers than they bave generally been given credit for.being and that they con cealed their real strength until tie test came. The motive of the movement for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as one ftate is plain enough, but it may be worth while to point it out for the benefit of those who have had no personal interest in following the fight. It is known that in a national elec tion both Arizona and New Mexi co probably, almost certaiiilj will go Democratic. If they are ad mitted to the Union as one state, the3' will have but two senators, thus swelling the Democratic fac tion of the Senate by just tnat piucb. But if the question is al lowed to go over till there is a Democratic administration, then the two territories will undoubted ly, be admitted as two states, and there will be four Democratic sen ator's instead of tvo. Thus the statehood bill has been made a direct party measure. The mere fact that the people of Arizona do not want to be ""tied up in state- lood with New Mexico is a side issue. I he interest oitneitepuu- ican party demand the admission of the two territories as one state and thus it is going to be. The President regrets kppniy. that he was enticed into the matter at all. Many months ago, he casually promised Senator Beyeridge that he would recommend joint state- lood in his message, and he did. But was with some mental res ervatious4and those ' reservation save grown since he saw how strongly opposed the people of the two territories, esppcialiv Ari- zina, were to heing tied up togeth er. But the deed is dove, now. The admission of the two territo- ies as one state is heralded as an ldmiaistratiou treasure and 'this ias sen: red it much of the pres ide that it has not heretofore en joyed. As to Administration prpstige and the desire that certain tilings should go a certain way, attention may be turned to the recent an nouncement of Mr. Jacob Riis that the President would stand for a third term. It is hard to conceive of a statement, coming as it did from a close friend of the Presi dent, that could have stirred up more speculation, bitterness ami uncertainty. Roosevelt in all probability has personal popular ity enough if he should run a third time to get elected, and it would shore that his personality dominates the whole Republican party, many of whom are opposed hi him. The President has how ever, laid the third term ghost ef fectually by referring all question ers to the statement that he gave out on the night of his election November, a year ago, to the ef fect that he would not run for a third term, that he considered the spirit of the unwritten law as more important than its text, and that as he had served two terms for all practical purposes, he would not run a second time even though he had been elected only once. The pro-Roosevelt people in Con xue uiu-uporm peup iu yua- , gresshave been reading this state- men up and down, cross ways, and backwards,tofiind out if there is not a loophole in it that would , tbe President to run again: ti,o nt v;," iiF P.niia i President has, unfortunately for them perhaps, a habit of writing very clear English about whose purport there can be small ques tion. So his late pledge is 'likely to sband. At any rate all ques tioners at the White House 1 are reierred to that pledge when they sprius the third term proposition authority. ; 1 he arrival of the ullJCOC vuiiaujisstuu iu tfusmu- ton 'his week was an event of mo.re 'ban ordinary importance, ;! - indicates that China is working UP to the desirability of adopting; IB-unit oi mepnases oi western civ-i0f 3 1 lizatian 1 lie Commissioners are two of the most prominent men in - Chinese national affairs and thnv have been shown everything- of interest and importance in the way of material progress from San Francisco tq New York.

Under the constitution of '1375 the French President - is ; chosen by the: Senators and Deputies in joint session. This method of se lection insures the choice of a nan whom the legislators know, ai d whom the v believe to be devoted to the nrincinle of the supremacy of the legislature. Thy habitually cloiU mnn wlin has long been a member, and has perhaps served as President, of one or the other n f t He eh a m tiers: who h as been active in committee work, and has perhaps held a portfolio in one or more ministries: who is not stan nous or aggressive, and has not made too many personal enemies This President, under the provis ions of the constitution, may ex ercise certain enumerated powers only in the councils of. ministers, and every ' act of his must be countersigned by a minister. The constitution also provides that "the ministers are collectively re sponsible to the chambers-for the . . - . a - -! general policy ot the aammistra tion, and individually responsible for their own personal acts." The h rench constitution vests the ap pointment of the ministers in the President, and does not require that their appointment be confirm ed by the legislature; but by the mode of his election and the ria- ture of his position, the .breach President is obliged to take his ministers from the dominant par ty or coalition in the Chamber of Deputies, as the King of Great Britain takes his from the domi nant party in the House of Corn-? mons. 'the list is actually drawn up by the party leaders, and the President appoints the men whose names are submitted to him. All the powers conferred upon him h the constitution are, in fact, exer cised by the ministers. As the fa miliar Jb rench witticism puts it: 'The King of Great Britain reigns, but does not govern; the Presi dent of the United States governs, but does not reign; the President of the French Republic neither reigns nor governs."
