The letterw are telegraphed to London nnd

they do prove conclusively that Edward

The lettois show between tbn lines that

WASHINGTON , Jnn. 5. ( Special Te > .
'grntn ' ) In nnswer to the nttnck ot the
j World-Hcrnld of Wednesday on Asald'nnl
j Secretary of Wnr Mc-lklejohn , wherein he Is
icharged ' with brench of faith In relntlon to
nn nrmy supply depot nt Omnhn , Mr. Melkle-
I John said.
"I presumed the people of Omaha nnd er-
peclally members of the Commercial club
dcblred to have a supply depot located In n
jelly ) where the hcntlqunrters of the
Department of the Missouri nrc
locnted. I hnvo been Impressel with
the argument ndvnnccd by the Commcrclnl
club for pueh n depot nnd hnve done every -
thltiK possible to further Its locntlon nt
j I Omaha. Repairs on the old postofucc build-
1 Ing would In no wise Interfcie with the loca-
1 lion of such n depot , nnd ns I have said here
tofore' , I shall do nil I cnn to nld the cltlrctis
of Ornnhn in securing a supply depot
" 1 do not care for such nttacks ns the
World-Hornld indulges In. I tnke It tint
politics is playing no small flguru In Ibis
1 matter nud nm perfectly content to Icnvo
1 the work I lmvi > done for Omaha and Ne-
brnskn to bo Judged by the people of my
stnte nnd not by the organ of the opposition ,
which could hardly be expected to say any
thing praiseworthy of the prefletit ndmlnls-
tintlon It hns been my observation tint
only those cities secure consideration In a
commercial or nny other sense that nre
united for their upbuilding "
The president's action Wednesday In filling
the vncnnt brlgnd'er ' generalships Is of ihe
greatest importnnce to the nrniv It dla-
posc-s of several Importnnt questions which
have been agitating the service for some
tlmo past nnd will have a , fnr-rcachlng effect
on future promotions.
The nominations mnde Wednesday not only
fill nil existing vncnncles In the list of general -
oral officers , but n'so the piospectlvo va-
cnncy which will result from the retirement
of Brigndlcr General Anderson on the 2lst
Instant In the ordlnarv course of events
there will be no more appointments ot gen-
ernl officers in the regular nrmy until Major
General Merrltt retires for nge In June next
There is no renson to suppose that the pres
ident will by that time chnngc the policy
ndopted by him In the present instance.
The newly-appointed brigadier generals
are to bo retained In service and the appoint
ments which will follow the retirement of
General Merrltt will undoubtedly bo made
on the same basis That means that but 0110
appointment will be made to each vncancy
nnd thnt the former policy ot ndvnnclng and
retiring a number of officers prior to making
a permanent appointment vv III not be again
followed by this administration ,
The appointment nf General I ullow Is po-
cullar in thnt there will bo no vacancy in
the grndo of brigadier general for him until
General Anderson gees on the retired list on
the 21st instant. The nominntlcn was made
thus far In advance in order to relieve the'
president of the pressure which hns been
steadily exerted by friends of the hosts of
candidates for office. The vacancies filled
by the appointment of Geneial MncArthur
nnd Young were originally created by the
retirement of Brigadier General Shatter nnd
the dcnth ot Brigadier General Henry
General MacArthurvns lieutenant colonel
In the adjutant general's department His
tiainfer to the line will result In the pro
motion of Major Thomas B. Barry , who has
been on duty In the Philippines with grade
of lieutenant colonel , and will leave a vnc-
ancy In the grade of major nnd nsslstnnt
adjutant general which will be filled by the
transfer of pome olficcr from tbo line. Geu-
oral Young will be succeeded as colonel of
the Third cavalry by Lieutenant Colonel
Wirt Davis of the eighth cavalry Ono
other thing hns been settled by the presi
dent's action which will tnko nwny much
of the hard feeling shown ngnlnst General
Leonard Wood's elevation over older ofilj
ccrs , nnd thnt Is that should the president
decide to make Wood n brigadier general in
the regular nrmy , ho will be Junior in rank
to MncArthur , Young nnd Ludlovv by rcnson
of their appointment as brigadier generals ,
Mao Vrtlini-'K Pntnrr.
Wednesday' action , however , cstnbllshcb I
the fnct thnt General MncArthur , in the
course of events , will succeed to the command -
mand of the nrmy on the retirement of Gcn-
Wndo in 1 07. and will hold tint im-
poitnnt command for two ycnis , ns ho docs
not retire for nge until 1900. This stnte ot
things is possible by renson of the fact that
all of General MacArthur's superiors now
In the army have retired In the Interval.

city nn the next favorite. A proposition to
express Indignation nt the com so pursued
