"Army ofllcors ought not to regard their
education completed upon their graduation
from West Point," said President Wheeler
today. "They nro professional men, and a
system should be established by which they
may, from time to time, engage in systn
matlc professional studies to bring them
selves abreast of tho times.
"West Point Is tho best military school
In the world. It represents the liberal
military education, ns contrasted with the
extreme specialization of the military
schools of Franco, Germany and Rusnln
Tho West Point cadet l.i soundly tralucd In
the foundation principles of nil tho four

The necessity of spending several thousand

devolves upon tho military attache nt an

sinio ror only a row of our ofllcors to cniov
this great opportunity to learn. Onco lit

(From n Staff Correspondent.)
.WASHINGTON, Juno 9. (Special.) It
was expected that the return of thu pres
ident would bo followed by Immediate
chnngo In tho personnel of several Im
portant places. Hut the serious condition
of Mrs. McKlnlcy has kept the president
from giving any attention to public nlfalrs
except those of an Imperative nature. It U
to tha credit uf the polltlcnns who want
these places for their friends or themselves
that they have shown respect for tho presi
dent's anxiety, for thoy havo kept nway
from him. Tho few senators nnd members
who have appeared in Washington slneo
the returning of Mr. and Mrs. McKlnley
havo avoided the mentioning of tho ofllces
they seek, except in rare instances, nnd
then only upon the suggestion of tho. presi
dent himself.
For tha last two years tho White Houso
has been the Mecca to which military pil
grims havo traveled moat frequently. Nine
out of every ten congressional callers went
to secure military commissions for constitu
ents and thero arc still a few of this kind.
Hut as nearly every placo which can be
rilled from civil life has already been given
nut, most of those now sought after nrc
sinn assignments for officers of the line
In tho regular service, nnd the president
prefers to nllow Secretary Hoot and Ad
Juliint General Corbln to make tho selec
tions.
One tv I'oNtnl Anslntnul.
There Is n widespread belief that there
will shortly bo nt least ono new assistant
postmaster goneral. The present fourth
assistant, Mr. Hrlatow, has never been on
terms of cordial relationship with hlH chief.
Ho ha6 a rcpellant manner about blm which
Is out of place In a public official nnd bo
sides hns antagonized the rural free de
livery service, which Is one branch of the
department In which Charles limory Smith
takes especial pride.
Mr. Hristow may be let down easy. Ho
was nn applicant for si clerkship when he
was appointed four years ago. In dis
tributing tho patronage nt tho beginning
of his administration the president decided
to glvo ono of tho assistant postmaster
generalships to Kansas. Mr. Hristow was
nbout tho best backed nppllcant for the
placo from tho Sunflower state, henco his
selection.
Of tho six auditors of the Treasury de
partment three will bo likely to retire.
One who Is said to bo slated to go Is former
Congressmnn Wlllnrd Wny Brown, who is
nt present nudltor for tho War department.
Mr. nrown Is a plensant nnd nccompllshel
gentleman, but he will scarcely retain his
present place for another four years.
;ie Wny In South Ilnkoln.
Ycungblood of Alabama, auditor for tho In
terior department, gives way to Robert 8.
Persons of Pouth Dakota, who has been
deputy nudltor for ths last four yenrs, so
that his eloatlon comes as a well deserved
promotion. Ho is a Now Yorker by birth
nnd a newspnper man by profession. His
political sagacity was n largo factor in tho
defeat of. former Senator Pottlgrew nnd the
election of Senator Gamble as his suc
cessor. Castle, nudltor for tho Postofflco depart
ment, has tho largest forco under lilm of
any of tho nudltors. Consequently ho hns
moro to contend with than any of his fel
lows. With tho accounts of 80,000 post
masters to nudlt four times a year, ho has
no sinecure. Hut ho has mado enemies and
his scnlp Is desired. They may bo able to
capture It. It is nt least n rumor, licarci
frequently, that ho Is to walk the plank be-
foro Janunry and likely within a row
weeks.
Ilevll nnd fhe Deep Sen.
Henry Clay Evans of Tennessee has (Hied
the ofTtco of commissioner of pensions for
nbout ns long a time ns nny other man
over held It. It Is In some respecta the
worst offlco in the entire civil list. There
Is tho devil on ono side, represented by the
horde of pension attorneys, and tho deep
sc. of unlimited pensions on tho otlier. U
Is n bravo man who will sot himself up
ngalnst tho pension nttorneys. hvans Is a
bravo man. Perhaps his Interpretation or
tho laws as ho tlmls them on the statute
books might bo a trlflo tnoro liberal. Per
haps the requirements which he demands
from an applicant ror a pension nro moro
strict thnn need be. Hut no Just claim
hna ever been rejected by the ofllco under
the present commissioner when tho claim
ant stood ready to prove his cn3o nnd to
meet the law as It stands. Corporal Tan
ner was tho antithesis of Kvaus. Ho was
too liberal nnd ho was Roon retired to
private life. It can bo said nuthorltntlvely
that Mr. Hvans is wining to rcuro, nui no
will not resign under fire. He is not built
that wny. He has mado an excellent public
servnnt, fair to the claimant nnd trno to
his oath of office. If n pension commis
sioner should bo appointed who would grant
a pension to every applicant, up to the full
limit of the amount asKoti, no wouiti even
then not satisfy the rapacity of thn pension
nttorneys, Kvans may retire, but If ho does
It will be of his own volition nnd not be
cause his SCaip IS acmauueu ujr iqo at

Xeiv Convention with firenl Ilrltnln.
Secretary Hay Id confident that ho will bo
able to present to tho senate next w Intern
now convention between tho United States
nnd Great Britain which will result In a
satisfactory treaty for tho control of the
Isthmian canal. Thcro Is a growing belief
that the canal problem Is to bo solved dur
ing tho coming session of congress. Thero
nro Indications In tho ntraosphero that tho
advocates of tho Panama route have won
over nome of their strongest opponents nnd
that as n result surprising changes can bo
looked for. The Panama people aro, of
counio, flgrtlng for their lives.
Shculd tho American government decide
to tnko hold of and build a canal from tho
Atlantic tn the Pacific the stock of tho
Panama project would bo worth less than
nothing. This accounts for the recent re
port that tho owners of that stock, ox their
representatives, are ready to turn over tho
entire work already dono to the United
States without cost. Thla Is n shrewd
scheme, but It hns not met with cordial
support thus far. Possibly the alleged pro
posal may materialize Into a definite otter,
but In the meantime tho two grent advo
cates nf the Nicaraguan route, Morgan In
the senate nnd Hepburn In tho house, con
tinue to refuse to bellevo that thcro Is any
possibility of completing tho "Cbagrcs

WASHINGTON. June 9. -The slight Im
provement In Mr. McKlnlcy's health which
manifested I.sUt tho latter part of the week
continues and hopo begins to bo felt that
oho may after nil recover from tho present
attack. Tho improvement, however, is so
slight as not to chango malciially tho ex
treme gravity of tho case. Tho usual con
sultation uf tho physicians wns held this
morning nnd nl Its close tho following
bulletin was Issued:
"11:15 n. m. Mrs. MeKlnley's physician
report that tho passed u very comfofrtablo
night and continues to improve."
Tho fact that Mrs. McKlnlcy hns moro
thnn held her own nnd thnt no unf.ivorublo
turn has occurred Is considered In ovcry
way encouraging, but as this result Is duo
partly to the constant use of powerful med
Iclno the physicians fear tho effect of re
ducing tho stimulants nnd llkcwiso have to
copo with the effect on her system of con
slant administration of the only moans of
piolonglng her llfo nnd making ultimate
recovery nt least a possibility. Theso stim
ulants and the complaint from which sho
suffered In Cnllfornln. which Is now under
better control, have to weakened her power
of resistance that apprehension Is ever
present thnt n sinking spell mny occur
suddenly from which sho cannot be rallied.
No CIiuukc Aiiitrenl,
Dr. Rlxcy regularly mnkes three visits
ench day. one In the morning, when thcro
is a consultation of phyilclnns, and n third
in tho evening.
Ho called this nftcrnoon nbout thrco
o'clock, nnd, finding Mrs. McKlnloy com-
fortnblo nnd progressing ns well ns could
be expected, he nnd the president went out
for h long drive, lasting moro than an
hour nnd n half, both going lo tho sick room
nt onco upon returning. Subsequently tho
doctor raid thnt no material chango had
occurred sinco the morning millet In.
Friends, official and personal, of tho
presidential family continue to show their
sympathy by personal luqulrles at the door
nnd by Icnvlng their cards. Even the mem
bers of tho cnblnct. ns n rule, merely
lenvo their enrds, in order to uvold dis
turbing tho president. Mrs, Charles Emory
Smith, Secretnry Long, Gcnernt Miles, Com
mnndor Cowica of the navy. Assistant Sec
retary of tho War Sanger, nnd Miss Hitch
cock were among those who thus expressed
their sympathy during tho day.
Dr. Rlxey, nfter his visit to tho White
House tonight, snld on Icnvlng nt 10:30
o'clock: "Mrs. McKlnley Is slowly Im
proving. She Is resting very comfortably
now und is doing very nicely."
Dr. Kltey Well I'lenneil.
Tho reports from the si 'k room up to n
Into hour tonight were decidedly encour
nglng. Dr. Rlxey npponrod much better sat
isfied with thn patient's condition tonight
than for some time. Mrs. McKlnley sat
up for a fow minutes today. It was tho
second tlmo sho hns been able to do fo
In some time. Surgeon General Sternberg
remnlncd longc- thnn usual this evening.
Horotoforo he hns mnlntnlned n sphynx
llko allcnco nbout Mrs, McKlnlcy's condi
tion, but when ho left tonight ho said:
"Mrs. McKlnlcy Is doing very woll now.
There nro no now developments."

Mrs. McKlnlev will bo taken to Canton
whenever sho Ik In condition lo hear tha
Journey. Extenslvo Improvements have
been mado nt the McKlnley homo at Can
ton, In rcmndollng portions of tho home,
nnd It was planned last autumn that aim
nnd tho president should go to Canton
nbout July 1 this year.
In caso Mro. McKlnley recovers this plan
will bo carried out, though tt Is not ex
pected sho will bo strong enough to lcavo
hero tho first of July, oven If Imprnve
ment should continue steadily. Dr. Rlxey
said tonight ho wns unprepnred to prcdl t
whothor sho would on nblo In carry nut
