"I have not yet had tme , " Bald he , "to gIve the matter " . consldcraton. . At the Army anti Navy club , the swell ' organization of the city , and In departmcnt - circles the affair has been pretty thoroughly ( tISCUSSOd. The dominating opinion Is that - General Schofeld committed a grave mistake In ordering the Irrest of Major Armes. There lns been 1 biter feud batwcen the men , dat- Ing back twenty-fle years. Major Armes Is an eccentric character who has lived In . 'Vashlngton for a generation or more , and who II prominent In the budness and 80cl1 life bf the capital. lie Is a truculent , disagreeable - able person . , and has been In trouble 1 often and under such peculiar cIrcumstances that he has coma to be regarded as . In a mes- : lIre , Irresponslhle. his freakiness , however , ' ' 'lia not Interfered wlh his money makIng . faculties , and he baa amassed a fortune of . ,000.000 In real cstnte and other operations. Ill ? dates his hostility to General ' Schofeld to an occasion twenty-five years ago , when the later was instrumental In havIng him dismissed from the army , unjustly , al he says. Armes was afterward reinstated by an act of congress. lie was placed on the re- tired list II 1883. lIe has never for a mln- . ute celrd : to denounce General Schofeld as , the head of I conslllracy to degrade , humi- ! ; , ate and persecute him. General Schofeld has 1 dcnlcd the chares ! , but there Is nevertheless some foundation for the allegation. . AItMES IS DlSAGltEiA1iLt. The fact I Armes was a very disagreeable Individual , hard to get along wIth and uncon- trolabe ! , lie was a kicker and not amenable to the ordinary rules of diiciplhne. Such being . . the cake , I was , by one of thou Inc ty tndor- stod arrangcments . determined to get rId of : him , and It so happened In the carrying out of this unwritten desIgn that General Scho- field was obliged to figure more or leu act- Ively. 10 the lanJuage of an old army ofcer , whcn ; I Is Mchlod In either the army or : the navy to double team against a. man ho ' h a 'goner.

I the general of the army had been as big a , man as ha would like to have himself regarded - . gardad he would have paid no attention to the half-crazy demonstration , but the bIggest of mel make themselves exceedingly small when under the ( influence of passon ! , and this , Is what Sholell did when h3 took advantage - of his brlct authority as actIng secretary oC : war and placed under arrest / a nnn with i' whom he had been on term of tsrsonal ( ' hos- tlihty . The Impression made upon the public , , mind by the performanc Is that Major . \mes may have substantial' grounds for hi f. , charges agllnst his , commmlng officer. I Scholell , had been a big man ho would have Ignored ' the letter from Armes The arrest was' .oxacly what the latter wanted. ty , lie has thus been given a chance to exploit r his grievance to thQ 10rld , and I the gen- eral Inllsts upon gong : through with the mat- I ter Armes vhhi have the ! , wi opportunity of tell- fr lug a vOry ugly story , which , whether right F 9r wrong , will ba a setndal Schofiltl's frle1ls may welt wish .hall been uvolded. t , , I Is a cloud upon the last das of the gen- F erI's active career. k Whether Arme secures his liberty by writ of habea corpus or whether his case U wi come before a court-martial. or both , U are matters which wIll be developed ' In dm a , course of tIme.

NFV YORK , Sept. 2-Thero Is now no longer any doubt that Major General Mites I. . to luccecd Lieutenant General Schofeld In the office of general In command of the United StAtes army. Miles made a statement of the ! fact tonight to a reporter of the Associated press , sayIng that he was Informed of time president's determination to appoint him on Friday last by the secretary of war whom ho met In this city by special appointment at the Metropolitan club. General ' Schofeld retired from active serv- ice at noon today , and It Is probable that the appointment of General Miles will be announced - nounce tomorrow , or very soon thereafter. The general wilt go to Washington to assume the duties of his high positon , The announcement - nouncement will set at rest the rumors which have been current in ( many circles during the past week concerning General Schoneld's IJrb- able successor. There was an Impression 11 some quarters that the office of general of the army mIght be heft vacant for some ( line , as there Is no reuirement of law for such a position and there are precedents for leaving It ibnflhled. Only once since the army was organized In 1789 , however , has time president - dent failed to appoInt the senior general to the command of the army. When General ' Miles was seen by a reporter - porter at the Associated press tonIght at his headquarters In Governor's Island . he spoke freely of his appointment. "My informant - formant , " said tile genral , "was Secretary I.mont , whom I met by special appointment at the Metropolitan club In New York last I.'rlday. Naturally I was much gratified. In a sense , however , my appointment Is not a promotion , as the grade of lieutenant general became extinct with the retirement of Gen- oral Schoneld. I wilt enter upon my new ditties with as little delay as possible , In tact as soon as the secretary issues the order an- 1 uounclng flu ) ' appointment. . "In leaving here I wIll do so wlh many regrets This Is the pleasantest assignment I ever had Aliough In the very heart of civilization , It Is as much retired as If It were hundreds of miles away , Instead of being wIthin gunshot oC the metroioiis. Then , too , hum people of New York and Drooll'n han been very hospitable amid I shal leave with many social obligations" General Miles was asked whether he would recommend any changes In the army He re- plied that I he so contemplated , I would hardly be proper to discuss thm at this ) time. The general would male no direct reply ply to the queston , whether he thought the grade of lieutenant general might be revived In his case , lS In that of General Schonehl When asked whether General Huger wi succeed him In command of the D 'partment of the East , he replied : "That Is the general Impression , but of course I can't speak . " anthorlatvely. The rank of lieutenant general expires with General . Schofield's retirement , as I Is a grade only created by special acts of congress - grss In recognition of distinguished service. It has been bestowed upon sIx generals- Washington , Scott Grant , Sherman , SherIdan and Schofield. General Miles has - received all his military training on the field of experience - penance , Instead of In the schoals He will be'the first general for many years who was not a West Point graduate and as the West Pointers are reputed to esteem themselves the ( arIstocracy of the army , It has been re ported that \'olunteer's antecedents wonld militate against his appointment so far as the Influence of the army circles had to do with it. General Wlnleld Scot was time last commanding general who was not a West 1olnt man. General Miles' Is a native of Massachusetts , luavimig , been born In Westminster August S 1839. In 186. he Joined the Twiuhtr-second . Massachusetts volunteers and served throughout - out the rebellion with great distnction : lie distinguished hlmscl early In his career In the army of the Potomac Inll took part In every' engagement except one up to Leo's surrender at Appomatox. General Miles dls- tngulsled blm elf In particular at Spotsyl- vania. Attacking the "bloty anglo" on the rIght , ho broke the enemy's lIne , routed him and captured LIeutenant General Jolulson and his division. At FIve Forks Miles saved the day by coming to time rescue of Sherhlal cavalry and 'Varren's Fifth corps. . General Miles' promoton was marked by somewhat 'exceptional raplly , only" bout a year elapsing before he was made leutenant colonel of the Sixty-first New York Infantry , nail 1 month later ' , September 'I 1 , 1862. ho was made a colonel ' at the same regl lent. In 18Gt he attained the rank of brigadier gen- oral of volunteers ant early In the following year obtained his commission as major gen- oral of volunteers In 1866 ho was milustered out of thc volunteer service and placed In the ourth United States Infantry , In which ho remaIned till 186 ; when he was trans- ferrel to thc Fifth Infantry. Alogether the new commander has hall 1 varied ! military career Since the war be has been best known as an Indian nghter. He did fne work at the Ildian territory expedi- ton In 187. In 1876 he drove Sitting Bull over the Canadian line , capturing a number of rioted warriors , and ale succeeded In making prisoners of ChIef Joseph and the Nez Perces. In 1878 he defeated and cap- turcl , 1 band of nannoclts In Yellowstone park . Not long after this he succeeded In brining In Sitting Dul , and thus was more a factor than any other man In the settle- meat of the Montana and Dakota war. .n 1886 he captured Ger9nlno and his band of Apaches In Arizona. Ills most recent claim to publc attentIon was the part he tool In suppressing time Chicago strike of the A. H. U last year. General Miles was commls- slolell brevet brigadier general Mach 12 , 1867 , brigadier general December , 1880 , all major general In 1890 , when he was assigned to the command of the Division of MlssOUI'I , which ho relinquished last year to take the command of this department on the retre ment of Major General 0 , 0 , howard In appearance he Is one of the most stalwart , soldierly men In the service lie II over six feet tl and doe . not look his 5 odd years. WAShINGTON , Sept. 29.-Secretary La- mont declined to make any statement tonIght regarding General Miles' prospective appoint- meat to succeed General Sehonel us general of the'army , but his appointment Is general regarded here as certaIn. I Is though his commission will be issued within a tow days and that he will thereupon come to Washington - ton at ommce. The major generals from whom the selec- lon might have been made are General MIles , General Thomas H. Huper , on special duty In W'ashington tn connection wIth the revising ! of the tactical . branch of the service , and General Wesley MerIt In com- mall of the Department of the Missouri , with headquarters hi Clmicago . Of these Gereral Miles was the rankIng officer . I was rumored hint General Miles might fall to secure time ' appointment because ot the alleged fact that his acton on the Chicago strike dill not meet the president's views. pr\sldent's This rumor of : lr. Cleveland's displeasure was Ilelle : at the time by Secretary La- mont , who said that nclher hImsel nor the president , has any fault to find wIth the character of the general .

This theory Is strengthened by the fact that Colonel Henry has been In Washington the pat few days Others claim Chat General Miles caused the change General Miles Is known to bO an ardent admirer of Colonel Henry , and ' It Is also reported that ( ho 18 not friendly to Colonel Whtes"I ! Those who claim to know t1 a story that In the Wounded Knee campaign General Forsytho sent Colonel ( then ( Major ) Whieside to capture Big Foot , the Sioux Indian chlof. Major Whieside got Big Foot all rIght but In movIng his camp up a certain rIver left Big Foot behind , on his proml to stay there till mornIng. Next morning Dig Foot was back In the camp of the hostlies. General Miles preferred charges against Colonel ' Whlesldo at the time , and he was tried by a court-martIal. Some pro- fes to believe that this Is responsible for the change. WASIINGTON ' , Scpt. 29.-Secretary Lament said today In reference to the detail of I.teutennnt Colonel Guy Henry as com- manllant at Jefferson Uarrcks , 10" , which was the suhIect of criticism , Inasmuch - much as Lieutenant Colonel 'Vhlteslles , sta- ( toned at Jefferson larrlc\ : ranks him , that time appointment of ( ulonel Henry was made on the recommendation of General Schuofleld. The recommendation oC the gon- erl ot the army says he Is welt informed In matters oC detail.

Mrs. Clara Thompson of the board of lady manages was complimentary to all who had contributed the success of the ulicrtakln . lion. Mr. Sper was elab- orate and ornamental , but the negro was full of feeling and power , and time good hnrd sense and eloquence of his utterances aroused the thousands of his white lsteners to enthus- Iasm. Time snrprlse to mo was great , for I had noticed that time color line was very distinctly drawn. Colored people , have their own place In railroad carrlagos they do not rIde on the street cars They have their own schools and teachers. In riding out to the grounds In the long and gay procession I was In company - pany with three directors of the ex osllon , who were also members of the civIc govern- ment. Conversation turned upon thc differences - ences of sentIment and custom between the north and south , and 10 the course of I lob , served : "You hav the negro problem to solve , and . we have to salvo the problem of the _ " Before I could finish the sentence one of them exclaimed : "No Indeed I We have solved that problem The negro knows his place In thIs state , lie understands that ho Is i free to secure al the educational advantages - tages he can . to compete for wealh , to sur- round himself with whatever he thinks may conduci to the happiness of his here , but when It comes to social lo and office he must stop " With these assertions In mind , as I sat In front of the platform , I was puzzle:1 : to reconcile them with the sight of a negro sharIng the platform amid the audience wits Irs.

What cared he at that hour th l he could not ride In comp ny with the ordInary crowd In the railway or street car , I he could stand with beauty , grace and oratory on that almost national platorm , eclipsing all other speakers , swaying the immense audience by his mental power ? No , the problem Is not solved I Permission to grasp the levers of power , education , and wealth whit keep the problem unsolved .
