retirement of General Howard. It was found that some of the generals were not disposed to make a change from their present station. The only changes, therefore, which will be male are the following: General Miles will go to New York. General liuser to Chicago and General Forsythe to fc?an Francisco. It was expected that the changes would be more extensive as some of the other commanders had signified a disposition to Bhift the;r headquarters and a schedule had been drawn looking to the transfer of Gen. Ilrooke from Omaha to tit. Paul: of Gen. Merrltt, from it. Paul, to Sin Francisco, and the assignment of General For3yth to Omaha. But all thl3 was conditional upon General Brooke's pleasure, and was set aside when. In answer to General Schofield's telegram offering him. by direction of the President, the option of going to St. Paul. General I? rook e responded by telegram this afternoon that he preferred to remain In hi3 present command. It is supposed at the var Department that the oiiicer3 do not care to make a change after having made their arrangements for the approaching winter, but it Is expected that when General McCook retires In the spring, thereby creating another vacancy in the commands, advantage will be taken of the opportunity to make further changes. . .

General Foster Knew the Late Cxar. WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. Ex-Secretary of State Foster was the only unofficial guest at the memorial services to the late Czar at the Russian legatio.o here yesterday, the honor being accorded to him because he had personally known Alexander III, having met him often while serving as United States minister to Russia in 18S1-82. It was at that time that Alexander. II was assassinated and General Foster witnessed the exciting scenes on that occasion and the subsequent pomp and ceremony with which the new Czar assumed power. As the representative. of this country General Foster took part In the funeral rites of the dead Czar and the festivities incident to the accession of the new ruler. On these and later occasions General Foster met Alexander III. and the latter frequently alluded to hi.? friendship and admiration for America, Nicholas, the present Czar, was then a boy of thirteen, and being the second son was not regarded as the heir, although the fatal illness of his older brother afterwards led the latter to renounce his Inheritence. General Foster says the feeling of fcreat friendship for America expressed by Alexander is shared throughout Russia from the highest down to the humblest peasan Chin Yuen to Be Deported. WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. Assistant Secretary Hamlin to-day issued a circular letter to custoni officers embodying the recent decision of Judge Lacombe, of New York, on the application of Chin Yuen for .a writ of habeas corpus. The decision holds that under the sundry civil appropriation act of Au. 18. 1391. the decision of the appropriate immigration of customa officers. If adverse to the admission into this country of an alien, is final unless reversed on appeal to the Secretary of Treasury. This act. Judge Lacombe says, leaves nothing for this court to inquire into, save only whether the relation is an alien, and whether the collector has made a decision. In the case under consideration the person is admittedly an alien and an adverse decision has been rendered In his case. The application for the writ is accordingly denied. Photographic Counterfeit. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The secret sen-Ice Is In receipt of a photographic counterfeit ten-dollar note, check letter B. act of July 11, 1830, series 1831 J. Fount Tillman, Register of the Treasury; D.

The portrait of General Sheridan is very dark, the features of the "ace being- almost indiscernible. All of the coloring of the note has been unsklllfully applied with brush and the paper Is scratched with red ink to Imitate the silk threads In the genuine. General Note. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Embassador Bayard will sail for England next Tuesday from New York on the Havel. The naval board of bureau chiefs, after , Ions consideration of the subject, has decided to recommend to Secretary Herbert the construction of a submarine torpedo boat of th? Holland type. An appropriation of $21)0,000 is asked for the purpose. SEEDS KEVlSiltt'. The Western Pamengtr Ansoclntlon In a Shaky Condition. CHICAGO. Nov. 10. There is little doubt that the lines of the Western Passenger Association must shortly revise the agreement that hoi J 3 them together at the present, or they will not he together for any great length cf time. There is no question that the agreement is la a very shaky condition, and that several line3 which are now In the association would be glad of an opportunity to pull out if matters do not mend. If the association should be dissolved it would in a short time be on its feet again, for It ha3 become a necessity to the Western lines, and they could hardly do without it. One matter which brings things nearer to a focus than they have been is the row between the Alton and the Wabash over the alleged cutting of rates by the former road. Hearing on this question was had at St. Louis this week by Chairman Caldwell, and if his decision should be adverse to the Alton there is every probability that the Alton will, if a fine is assessed against it, decline to pay the amount demanded. This will leave the association in the position of either forcing the Alton to pay the tine or get out of the assoc.atlon. There is hardly any way in which the road can be made to pay the flna if it decides that it will not do so. If It is then forced out of the association it will be in a position to make things as interesting as when two years ago it was loyeotted by all the other lines and made money at their expense while the boycott was in effect. There is not the most friend- , ly feeling Just now between the passenger departments of the Missouri Pacific and the Alton. The former will not be likely to accept with any equanimity any reductions that the Alton, once outside of the association, would be free to make, and the result would certainly be a lively fight in Missouri river passenger rates that would drag In all the lines between Chicago and the river. All the association lines are aware of this condition of affairs, and It is likely that an effort will be made to revise the agreement before trouble comes. No steps have as yet been taken in this direction, but all the Western lines are strongly in favor of the proceeding. Ilia: Fonr to Itonoh Louisville. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH. Ind.. Nov. lO.-President Ingalls, of the Elg Four road, said to a Wabash man connected with the company that arrangements were now being perfected for Fecuring an entrance of that line Into Louisville before the end of the present winter.

"UNCLE DICK" COMES OUT THE VETERAN SPOKE AT THE TERRE HAUTE JOLLIFICATION. Congressman Watson's Election Railfled nt Crcenihurs-Hanner Randolph County In Good Humor. Special to the Imllanapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 10. The Republicans of the Seventh congressional district Joined in with those of Madison county tonight and ratified the late landslide. The celebration was on an enormous scale, and, outside of Indianapolis, there is a probability that it was never equaled in Indiana. It began at 6 o'clock with beating of tomtoms, blowing of horns and yelling in all of its different forms. At 7 o'clock enthusiasm was rampant, and, despite the blinding snow, two thousand paraded the streets, headed by bands. Drays had been provided and fireworks were carried along and fired off regardless of expense and consequences. It was a glorious celebration. Tableau powder was kept burning incessantly, and for over three hours the city was bathed in red and blue glory. The main stand was erected in the southwest corner of the public square, and from here were fired all of the big pieces. The display was equal to any ever seen in Indiana. When the pyrotechnics let up the surrounding streets were thronged with the big parade, increasing la numbers. It was estimated that SO.OOO spectators were la the crowd. Banners of all kinds were carried on which were patriotic inscriptions. One of the most conspicuous was a big American eagle shaking a Democratic rooster. , Under it was the pass word of the glass workers: 22ft off." The significance of this 13 that under Democratic rule their wages were cut 22ft per cent. Many pictures of Congressmanelect Charles L. Henry were displayed, and his name was cheered In a hearty man ner. The delegations from Indianapolis, Elwood, Alexandria and Muncie arrived late, the last after the fireworks had been exhausted. A new parade was formed, however, and It was midnight before quiet reigned again. Had it not been for the fierce snowstorm it is doubtful if the .city would have been large enough to have held the crowd. Congressman-elect Henry and several of the newly elected State officers were in the city. BRAVED THE STORM. Col. It. W. Tbompion Helped Celebrate nt Tcrre Ifnnte. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

When he was about to close the audience, amid great enthusiasm, called to him to go on. lie did so, saying that there are occasions when the emotions made one stronger, and that he felt thirty-five years younger. He concluded by saylns that if he did not live to see another campatfrn he would be with the Republican party in spirit. Hon. Thomas H. Nelson next spoke, and reviewed the results of the election in the various States and commented on the causes. When Congressman-elect Faris arose there was great cheering. He spoke briefly, and promised that in Congress he would stand with those who were ever loyal to the principle of protection to Ameri:m industries and labor, flnd who want . see Justice done to the Union soldier.
