Although the House Military Committee has agreed to report the measure giving Ad- ?:ZLnri tioo to it in army circles. General Cor- also bitter enemies, who are c.rculating stories roftedthijr most seriously upon Iliim. These stories, it is alleged, arc supported paxtaally by some of the of ficial records at the War Department. 'While it in admitted la military circles the position of Adjutant General just now calls for higher mnkthan that of brigadier general, opposition of a person al character is very pronounced. The President and Secretary Root are hear Dily In favor of the bill, as both have a partiality for Corb'in. This probably is the cause of jealousy existing against ) him on the part cut amaaiy army officers. I In the distribution of the army patron age General Corbm was enabled to olv lige many nsjnrautB for the smaller places who were supported by strong political bucking. This is not forgotten by the same political Influence. A memo irial which has 'been in circulation against General Corbau imakes the most serious charges ngaiiiHt hLni. 'Among other statements it says: The smooth admiiuist ration of the army under the proiMwod system would Is) jeopardized. Already there is now and (lien friction between the office of the Adjutant General and that of tile com manding general of the army, due to the great power of the Adjutant Geno-al. The Adjutant General should not be in any way a source of military control. IJis is a clerk's office, and he is simply the adjutant of the Secretary of War to promulgate his orders as coining from the President. He should have no more rank than that of any other chief of a staff bureau; should properly have less rank, being, as before stated, in the position of a clerk. Secretary f War iStanton would not have tolerated an asiiring adjutant gen ral one day. As Adjutant General, the increase of rank will not add to his ability to per form his true duties, which are the con veyance of the orders of the Secretary of Wot and the comimisiuding general of the army. A fallacious idea of tue positiou of the Adjutant General has iirinen be cause of the fact that Mr. Secretary Al ger placed so (much power in Iris hands duriug the late war witii Spain, Is-rni? winced to such action "been use of Ilia igiwrancc of army matters at the time ot his entrance into the Cabinet. The nowition of an adjutant of a regt- meat'ds far more militnrj' thnni that ot the Adjutant General at ashington.

The coiixnllations I iwith him of the 'Sis ret ark f W.ir have 1 inociilatil hinii' with an idea of his great worth, which will not bear inrcisuigiiticii. He had some cim:'iiiaml ( colored iimoms during the war. as his record will slu.w, but as to his deeds of valor, or even skill, there is no record. What the record does show in not creditable.
