It Is a remarkable fact that only one army commander was killed In actual bailie during Ihe civil war, and that was Gen. Ailmrt Sidney Johnston. C. B. A., at the battle of Bhlloh. MaJ. Gen. James B.

Henry J Htclly, of the Fifth United States Artillery, were ordered to China. It gave me great pleasure to predict for them a brilliant record In that service How heroically Capt. Rleliy met. hla death < Ihe ramparts of Ihe enemy* works, ail the readers of Ihe Morning News are familiar. And now MaJ Gen. Chaffee comes forward and earnestly re ommends that Col. Daggett's gallant conduct and valuable services be rewarded with the rank of brigadier general of volunteers Daggett end Rleliy were horn eoklters. and iheir records have shown that they never forgot that they were soldiers, and not politicians. Rleliy clime up by meritorious conduct from the ranks of the regular army, while Daggett entered the army as a captain In 1*66, from the volunteer ser vice. where his highest rank was lieuten ant colonel and brevet brigadier general lib first volunteer service wss as first lieutenant of Ihe Fifth Maine Infantry. June. IMI. Col. Daggett has many friends in Georgia. Alabama and South Carolina, who will hail his deserved promotion with great pleasure. 1 was surprised to see In a Chicago pa per a picture of Lieut. Col. Mayne Oer trude Morris, of Tennessee. In Ihe uni form of a member of Gov. Candler's staff of Georgia. After what the Governor had said about the G. A. R. It seemed strange that he ahould be repreaented at the Na tional Kncamrment even by a "stunning" young lady member of his *<nff, who was h. raided with Mrs. lahnan. the first white child born In Chicago, as "Two Fa mous Women." The sketch accompanying her picture raya: "Miss IJeut. Col. Mor ris will wear her official uniform of blue, with military rrgalla and aword and rows of brass buttons, and will ride In the parade Bhe la the only young woman In America who holds a commission on a Governor's staff. She Is a typical Southern girt, a writer, and a talented musician and has been ranked negt to Winnie Davis In Ihe hearts of the Southern people" I must offer solemn protest to this last as sertion Next to Winnie Davis was Julia Jackson, daughter of "Stonewall” Jack son. and next to her LleuL Gen A. P. Hill's charming daughter, horn during the war, and next to her Caroline Gordon, the talented daughter of Oen John B. Gordon, and born since the war. But none of these ever clslmed to be "next to Win nie Davis In the hearts of the Bnuthern people," and Miss Morris certainly can make no such claim. By Ihe promotion of MaJ. Oen. Mite* to be a lieutenant general our army and navy rosters present a peculiar appear ance. Congress revives the rank of ad miral and gives It to Dewey, but leave* the rank of vice admiral "out In the cold.” Then It revives the rank of lieutenant general In the army and leave# the rank of general In the background. Grant, Sherman end Sheridan were full generals by special gel of Congress, a rank that Washington declined. Grant, Sherman. Sheridan, Schofield and Miles have been or are lieutenant generals, while Scott was * brevet lieutenant general. Farragut and Porter were full admirals, the rank now held by Dewey. Porter was made a vice admiral and on the death of Farraguf was promoted to be admiral and held thul rank until he died. When Dewey de stroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila Ihe rank was revived and bestowed upon him. The official records show, therefore, fhaf the rank of general and of lieutenant gen eral In the army, and of admiral and vice admiral in the navy, are not established ranks to be reached in the ordinary meth ods of promotion, but depend upon special acta of Congress to confer them upon meritorious officers. it looks as though the "oldest" and ths "youngest." the "flrsl" and the "last" sol dier business would never come to an end. as new candidates for these several hon ors are constantly putting In an appear ance.

People with honest purpose* ars entitled to dignified respect, even when we cannot sympathize In a practical man ner with their good purposes. But at the same time we are Justified In an o;>eii *md dignified protest against their hope* of success. For this reason I have frequent ly claimed that Ihe work of peace socie ties and ik h< e commissions was fruitless. Gen. O. O. Howard, U. 8. A. (retired) the famous Chrlsilan warrior, gives the laoutsvtlle, Ky., Christian Observer, an article on "The South Afrktsn War," In which he suggests that "the British will do well lo consider Washington's advice lo live United Slates, to wit: 'ln time of peace prepare for war.' "Diplomacy and reinforcement should go hand in hand." This is exactly the doctrine 1 have always preached. When the Civil War clouds Ural appeared many of Ihe grandest statesmen. North and South. Joined In earnest, honest efforts to avert & clash of arms But In God's own way—by the sword—came (he settlement of the vexed questions which then divided our coun try and menaced Its future peai-e and prosperity Arbitration, on the part of the most Christian people In the world proved a dead failure. While It was a noble act on the part of the Czar of Russia to propose ihe peace commission of The Hague, few peo ple could see In li* proposed consulta tions and conclusion* any hope of great er or more universal peace In the world at large. In fact, strange as tt may seem, that meeting of peace commlasloners appear* to have resulted In turning loose the "Dags of War" In all purta of the universe. Gen. Howard closes hla article above referred to with Ibis pregnant and timely sentence; "The Christian work! wonders why the Instruments so care fully manufactured at The Hague could not all have been applied; for czample. the Introduction of friendly Intervention and arbitration, and ao saved nation# and society from behokltng the terrible sacrifice# and horrors of public war." And now comes Ihe newspaper poet and take* up the same strain. "Two years ago. or more, perhaps. We tho’t we'd seen the last of scrape. Or tho't at least war soon would cease, For all the world was talking peace. The nation* lo The Hague had sent Their delegates, wise men Intent On making plan* so each dlsputn Would not call armies out to shoot. • ••••• •• VI. # "Now her# and there throughout the world The flags of war have been unfurled.

How a Wise Cat Katabllahrd Her As tburity Ip a Cafe. From the New York Times. Cat* and dogs do not fraternize as a general thing, though now and then they strike up *n alliance. An interesting In stance of this took place In an uptown cafe the other night, but not until after the cat and do* Involved were, tn accord ance with usual custom, at sword's point. The do® was Captain, a particularly smart cocker *pati>- The cat * Lena, who, as her name suggests.

Captain belongs to John Hogan, the okl tlme minstrel man. and It came to para that ihe Itrst time he ventured into Lena's Stronghold he was looking for trouble. Lena never exerts herself to avoid Irou ble.and Captain was accommodated before his visit was over. Lena posted her for feit and lost no timw-ln quibbling over Ihe lime for weighing In. The point of the story, however. Is Ihe deliberate manner In which Lena brought about Ihe con flict. „ 7, n seems that Lena has two feline as sociates who are of a peaceful ngture.

Person* returning from the "other able ' have always expatiated upon Ihe beauties of Richmond. It* fine prosper, of the all very serpentine Thames, Its lon® stretch#* of wood*. Ita lovely terrace and lta cool ing breeze*, and when the seventh day of Intolerable London heat came and I found myself wilting I went to the office of an Kngliah friend. Henley by name, and said to him; "Can't you leave business for awhile and take a Bred stranger to some cool place? I've known heat In New York, but never such pertlnacsau* heat as this." I have said that my friend la an Kng llshman. but wer# It not for hla epeechhe would paaa for a Yankee, for he la the Incarnation of hustle. Our quick lunch place* would be alow for him. and he would fret at the languor of the Chicago Limited He la up to full ateam all the "™r>e*r men. I'm awfully busy to-day. Still If* nlway* powMbl# to work hwMcr lo morrow Come hack In half an hour and I’ll run down to Richmond wall you. Then I left him dictating two letter* at once and I rode on top of a 'bus up and down ttao busy Strand until the half hour W | was near spent with Ihe heat. I look ed forward to a cool, ahady retreat at Richmond, where, perhaps. I could listen to the son® of an English lark or a thrush and alp n cooling claret cup and reflect upon the vanltte# of thla world. 1 found Henley looking up a timetable He flung It down a* T came In. and said: “Ah. you're Juat In time. A train leave# Waterloo ataslon In seven minutes." Seven minutes, end It wh a mile from Henley's ofltoe to the Strand. It would he a shame on a day when horaea were dropping like flle. lo make a horse do a mile In seven minute* In crowded London. But I found that Henley was merciful lo dump beast* He did not Intend to trouble the horse, but proposed to make It In a wtilk I gasped, but said nothin*. Henley ha* a hvpnotle wav obout him He Is an athlete, and when we left hie Office he made for Ihe Thame* embank ment at an energetic heel and toe clip that gave me vertigo to look at.

And he burst out awblstllh®. totally oblivious of the fact that death from heat proatratlon was hovering over me. „ At Waterloo bridge I gave out. A 'bus. I panted, and one happening to pass at that moment, Henley Indulgently let me hoard It and followed me himself. "Ah. the pleasures of the country,” sang he blithely He looked hot. but lie aid not seem to mind It. A# for me, wave after wave of deadly dry heat eurged from mv heart to every pore of my body. Mv tongue clave to the roof of my mouth and my brain seemed bursting with the heat. Still we were going lo lovely Rich mond to cool off .... Arrived at the elation Henley found that the train for Richmond had not waited for u*. but had Just gone, and the ural would not go for fifty minute*. Quite so." said he "Very good.

In a moment he had ticket* for Kew Gardena, and we were racing down the platform to get a train that was due to leave at tint. We reached It and piled Into s atuffy compartment. Fortunately, we were alone It Is better to fry alone than to fry col lectively like slices of bacon. "This la cool compared to the under ground," aald Henley aa he saw me mop ping my brow. If I had never been In the underground railway 1 ahould have doubt ed hla veracity, but I courted death for three stations in that sizzling vacuum, and then, like a reacued miner. I waz drawn up lo home and friend*, and—- mother; so 1 believed him. l>f course, the train did not atert on time.

And so he resumed his *l**day-walklng match- champlonshlp-of- the-work! -Madi son Hquare- O-irdeM-admiaslon-o.ie-doitar gelt, and I cantered along after him. with my heart beating wildly and Imploring me lo stop "Luncheons are expensive at the Star and Garter at Richmond, and. anyhow, we re too late for lunch and too early for dinner.

The ginger beer wa* nice and warm, al most aa warm as the day was. The file* found ua out before we were waited on, and we did not linger for an after lunch eon cigarette, but departed at once for Kew Gardens. • • • Oh. how lovely Kew Gardens must be In cool weather. In weather shot I* not so warm that you expect to see people fall ing like rain. Hot ae I was. I could not repress my admiration for the noble tree*. Ihe vaat lawns, the diminutive tiger lilies. "Gome, let ua go Into the hothouse and see the zroplcal plants.” aald Henley airily. 1 looked at him In astonishment. Tun the fellow meant It, and with an ag onised thought of my little ones acroas seas I followed him toward the great glass Inferno. Once, year* ago. I vlalted the smelting room of a bras* mill In Connecticut and saw the mercury keeping at 1 with th* greatest ease, and iwhen 1 stepped Into that new conservatory I wished with all my heart that I was back In ih* bra## mill. Oh. how the ireea and shrubs grew In that heat. I was afraid that they would buret their prlaon I could hear my brain frying and spattering agalaal the confines of my skull. And that Henley, not content, must needs lead me up a winding staircase In the top of the hothouse Just ao that I could feel from personal observation Hint It wa* hotter near the top. My friendship was strained to the point of severing while I waa up there, and when we came down I fell out of doors and felt the cool sun shining on me. end thanked heaven that I had escaped from the fiery furnace Poor Ahednego! But the respite waa only momentary. The aun was net really cool after I had walked a few rods. Is beat down upon me like a fiery mist, and I shuffled along ex pecting collapse at every moment and rather wishing that It would hurry up and end my suffering*. And that exasper ating Henley was as cool as possible and as full of vitality as when he started. "Hurry up." said he. "We’ll walk to Richmond. IFa not fer " How we ever got across that burning, though beautiful, plain to the river I do not know. But when wa reached Ita banks I actually found relief That river. Ihe lovely Thame*, wa* th# one pleasant mem ory of an otherwise frigtfu! trip. Laiy barges floated by. atlll more taay swans followed by peeping cygnet* swam down wMh the current, busy little ateam tugs rushed tip the river making cooling hreesee, and I felt that here wa# our des tination: here waa th# place to atop and enjoy nature and taate the aolare of "tir ed nature'* aweet restorer." Ah. yea. to sleep under an umbrageous oak. whose branches had waved welcome to klnga aa I hey pa seed by. But the cry of Henley waa. "On to Hlchmond." Thus does history repeal Itself. All 100 soon we left Ihe bank* of th* pretty river and began lo climb hllto. and found ourselves In a town once more with hot pavements and holier children out for the hottest airings with super-heated nurse*. Up. Up. up until te cam* to a lovely tertao* that commanded a view of miles and miles of the Thame#. Ah. whet a place to sit and cool off. But Henley said: "Whet's th# matter with you. old men’ I begin to think that you American* hn k energy. Come, we'll have a claret cup at th* Star aml Unrier." Behold ua at last at the Star and Gar ter. But did we eU Oil the lovely ter ra# end allow th# Hurray hreesee lo cool our fevered brows?
