General 'Wheeler Returns Because He Couldn't Gut an. Active Command. NEW YORK, Jan. IS. A special from Washington to the Herald says: No doubt exists In the minds of friends of Brigadier-General Joseph "Wheeler that his return from the Philippines In compliance with his own request is due to the failure of General Otis to give him active service in the field. In certain quartirs an effort is made to attribute General Wheeler's return to his Inability to stand the climate and to his ag-- In refutation, cf the former. his friends point to a statement he made after visiting the American lines, "the impression that the new country is unhealthy la wrong." Regarding his age. It is pointed out that he is only about a year older than General Otis. The orders to General Wheeler to re turn were cabled about a week ago. BETWEEN TWO STOOLS. General Wheeler Neither In the Army Nor Congress. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. A special to the Times from Washington, says: If General Joseph Wheeler expects to return to Washington to take a seat In conpresj without further formality, It looks as if he would meet with dis appointment. Inquiry has been made since the an nouncement that he had been relieved from further duty In the Philippines and it is found that there is very gen eral agreement on both sides of the house that it has been clearly shown by the examination of the case of Low, and other precedents, he has forfeited his right to a seat in congress, and that the only thing open to him is to go back to his district and seek re-election If he desires to continue in service in congress. No doubt is entertained that, if he seeks re-election at a special election to fill the vacancy, he will be returned to congress, perhaps without opposition, but it will be held by the house, accord ing to the best authorities in both par Pishing for Health. When a man breaks down with that dread disease, consumption, and recognizes his condition, he starts out to fish for health. He tries this thing and that thing. He consults this doctor an3 that doctor. He indulges in all kinds of absurd athletic exercises. He tries first one climate and then another. He tries the rest cure and the work cure. He grows steadily worse. That is the story of most consumptives. Finally, when tbe consumptive dies, the doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces consumption incurable. A thirty years' test of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has demonstrated that it cures 98 per cent of all cases of consumption, If taken in the earlier stages of the disease, before the lungs are too far wasted. In a consumptive there is a weaker spot than even the lungs. That spot is the stomach. A consumptive never really begins to die until his stomach gives out The "Golden Medical Discovery" not only braces np tbe stomach, but acts directly on the lungs, healing them and driving out ail impurities. Honest medicine dealers will not urge you to take an inferior substitute. "I hid a very bad cough, also night-sweats, and was almost in my grave with consumption." writes Mrs. Clara A. Mclntyre, Box r7i, Ash land, Middlesex Co., Mass. ''A friend of mine who had died with consumption came to me in t dream and told me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and, thank the Lord, I did so. By the time I had taken half of the 6 rut bottle I felt much better. I kept on nntil I had taken three bottles. That was all I needed. I got well and strong again." Whenever constitution is one of the com plicating canses of disease, the most perfect remedy is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which are always effective, yet absolutely mild and harmless. There never was any remedy invented which can take t-cu place. They never gripe. ties, that the seat Is now vacant and will remain so until a special election has been held. Some of his friends in the nous hope that he may be Induced not to makj claim to the seat, but to go at once be fore his people for re-election. Thev , think he would win greater distinction oy this course and, if re-elected, he would be entitled to pay for the entire term from March 4 last.- as anv on elected to the vacancy would be.

Jan. iS.-The military expert of the Herald, discussing the sitjation In South Africa, says: From the time the official dispatch was published last Friday stating that General Buller had that day seized th fort at Potgleter's drift, on the Tugela river, the censorship has been so strict ly maintained that nothing but mere conjecture was po-lble in the course of events. Now the first real glimpse' Is afforded of the week's campaign fcrr the relief of Ladysmith. When Sir George White heliographed that he was "hard pressed" during the desperate assault of te Boers on Cea sars camp, last Satarday week, Janu ary 6, Sir Red vers Buller sent forward Clary's division down to the river front at Colenso. His dispatch said he had sert forward "every available man," from which ft would be inferred that the bulk of his troops were behind Chevely at Frere and again behind that carip at Estcourt. Clery reported that he found the trenches full of Boers in a fortified position, doubly strengthened since Buller's disasterous repulse December K He did not attempt anything fur ther than a reconnalreance, his orders probably being to content himself with the feint In order to occupy the atten tion of the Boers at that point, Buller himself was hardly prepared for the advance which he 'Was contem plating on an elaborate scale and strategical scheme of outflanking his opponents. The reinforcements he had received since he fell back from CoIeno must have placsd him In command of more than 30,000 men. General Sir Charles Warren had Joined him, an officer whose Grlqulland expedition years ago furnished him a reputation of being able to outmaneuver the Boerg In their own peculiar style of fighting and on their own ground. i From Estcourt, Warren was In a poeV Hon to start on a long flanking move-, metrt, either to the east, by Wenan, or the west by Bethany, making a semicircle to Ladysmith, Buller, with hla hoadauarun-a at Frere, could make an Inner nuvemnt, choking his point of crossing the Tugvla either directly In front or by turrlng movements vm cither side. He chose the left, or westward route, and keeping his plans secret was ll to announce the first suoivfu stop of his advance In his dispatch from Put gloter's drift. Tills ford Is a little to the westward of the junction of the Tugvla with Its southern branch, the Little Little Tugela rlwr. The road from l'rere would p.s along the foot of a range of mountains on the right hand. I British cavalry scouts had, (t was stated, some days previously cornel across parties of Boors at Potgleter'a drift and It was ascertained that Gen eral Joubert was making a fortified position in the neighborhood. V hen Duller had gained the drift his first new Mop was to Inform Irimsvlf as to the locality and stivngih of this position. It was, he said, about tour and a halt miles In front away from ' the river and of a strong character.! Flvj days n.ive passed In deliberate; preparations for continuing the march to Dewdrop. Not only has the trans-J ports of the columns to be steadily brought up, but the relief supplies for Ladyswith must be close In the rear. General Warren's column, it Is now cVear from the last dispatch received, I Is acting In co-operation wfth Puller's advance guard by moving his division in a parallel line on the west. While Buller's plan of operations has been maturing, General Joubert, It may be nreeumed. has been hurrying hla com mandos from the center of his defen- sive line or tne xugeia to in extreme west. Some check may have been caused by the knowU-dge that the Brlt compiander uils'ht a: any moment make a serious move from Colenso, or, fur ther to the east, at rietcrs or the Wee nen read to LaJysmlth.
