SClO IELD'S PIODADLE SUCCESSOR.
I Is the general oplnl.n among army of-
cers In Washington that Major General Nel-
son Appleton Miles will be placed In command -
mend of the army to succeed General Scho-
field. General Miles , who Is now the commanding -
mantling general of the Department of the
East , with headquarters at New York , Is the
senior major general and hence Is entLtel
10 the appointment , which will be made by
President Cleveland. General Huger and Gen-
eral Ierr'lt are the two other major gen-
erals. When General Huger was detailed for
special duty with the secretary of wr I
was rumored that his transfer hall some ad
dltonal significance and that he was to bo
placed In command of the army upon the re-
Irem nt of GelerJI Schofield. ThIs report
did not gain much credence , however , for I
was the , general belief that the president
"oull not depart from the well establshed
precedent and gIve the appointment to any
other officer than the /enlor major general
Everyone wilt be pleased to have General
Miles come to the head of the army , for he ,
too , Is a very popular omcer. General Miles
also had a brilliant record and one that
would entitle him to consideration on the
part of the president. He Is an old cam- I
palgncr all his courageous work Is espe-
daily familiar In the west , where his ser-
Ices have been conspIcuous. General Miles
was born at Westmlnater , Mass. , on the 8th
of August , 1839 , anti Is therefore In the
57th year or his age being eight years
younger than Lieutenant General Schofehl
Should he live he will , accordingly ba ye-
tired , under existing laws , on August 8 , 1903.
GENERAL MILES' CAREER.
General Miles reeetved an academic clluca-
ton anti was engaged In mercantile pursuits
when the civil war began. On September 9 ,
1861 , he entered the volunteer service as
leutenant In the Twonty.sccond 1assa-
chu8ets Infantry and was commissioned
leutolnt colonel of the Slxty.Orst New
York volunteers , to date May 31. 1862. lIe
wa engaged I tho' battles of the peninsula
before "lchmonl and at Anletam , and on
September 30 was made colonel of his regi-
ment Colonel 1les fought In all the bat-
ties of the Army of the Potomac , with ono
'excepton ' up to the surrender of Lee at.
Appamattox Court IIous . Yo. , and was
wounl d Threw times. lId reebivoda brevet of
1rlgadler ) generai of volunteers for gallantry
at Cbancellorsvlo May 3 , 1863 , and was ad-
vancell to 'the full 'rniC ' bn May 12 , 1864 , for
Ills services at the battles -or thioWildc'rness "
and SpOlsylvanla Court house. On August
25 , 1864 , 'ne was brevele major general of
volunteers for Ills conduct throughout the
Richmond campaign and Valuable services at
Heam's statiOn. lie was commissioned major
general on October 21 , 1&65 , and mustered out
of the volunteer service on' September 1 , 1866 ,
after receivIng on July ' 28 on appointment
In the r gular'army as coronel of the Fortieth
Inrantry : On March 2 , 1867 , the brevets of
brIgadier general and major general , United
States army , were cOnferred on him for
bravery at Clancel10rsvll anti Spottaylvania.
lIe was transferred 10' t'ne Fifth Infantry on
Mardi 15 , 1S69. lie defe'ated the Cheyenne ,
Kiowa and Comlnclle Jnllllns on the borders
of lie Staked Plans In 1875 and tn 1876 sub-
Jugated lie ( hostile Siolx"anil other Indians
In Montana , driving Sitting Bull across lie
Canada frontier and breaking up the bands
that were led by him and by Crazy Here
Lame Deer , Spotted Eagle , Broad 'rail , Hump ,
and others. IJ September ho captured the
Nez , Perces , under Chief Joseph In northern
Montana , and In 1878 capture a band of Dan-
noclts near Yellowstone park. He was com-
mlsslonrd brigadier general on December IS ,
1880. He c mmilded the Departnent of Co-
Inmbla f0 five years. In July , 1885 , he was
assigned to command of the Department of
the Missouri , and In April , 1886 , was trns-
erred to Arizona After a dllcul campaign
Ifalnst the Apaches , _ under Geonimo and
Natchez , he eOmlJ ' led 11 e chief , to surrender -
render September 4 , 1886. Ho deemed It od-
vlsable In the Interest of the future tran-
lult ) of the Indians accept a conditional
surrender frcm Geronimo , agreeing that
neIther the (1llof nor any of his followers
shoud : suffer ( heath for their past crimes. lie
received the thanks of thl legislatures of Ksn-
sas , Montana , New 1e.lco amid Arizona for
his services In the west , anti tIme citizens of
Arizona presented to General Miles a sword
of honor at Tucson on November S , 1887 , In
the presence of a large gathering of citzens
of time territory. . lie was appoInted major
general on tIme lth of AprIl , and assumed that
rank April 14. 1890. General Miles was In
omm\Jl : of tie Department of the Missouri ,
wih headquarters at Chicago , when he was
called to New York to take command of the
Department of the Mat upon the retirement
of Major General Oliver O. howard ,
From this account of General Miles' servIces - ,
Ices It will be seen how valuable his cam-
pigns In the west have been , not only to
that section , but to the entire country. To
General Miles more tan ! to almost any other
person Is due the credit for having waged a
8uccessfq war against the disturbing ele-
menls of the Indian trIbes of the west.
hut the mcnton of this name of General
Miles In COI\e ton with the Siou Illans I I
recalls to memory the closing days of time I
career of General George A. Custer. Many
persons to thIs day believe that had General
Custer not been as enthusiastic as he was ,
but , had followed the policy of Indian war-
faro as outlined by ceneral Miles , he and
his little band of faihful cavalrymen would
not have , been ' treacherously alaimi at the
bate of the : Little Big Horn , but would
have lived to do bther valiant deeds. The
lamrs of these two heroes one of whom
ha9 alredy 'passed away forever , will stand
together In the [ uture" and each will receive ,
a favorable decree lDl1 a kind word ot praise
