The German Emperor to Have a Paper All of His Own-Other Sptcibls of Interest. Drni.iN, Oct. 1. Special.l-Lord Wolsoloy today entered Dublin and succeeded Prince Edward of Saxe-Wei-mar as commander of the forces. In his address to the soldiers, Lord Wolse-ly Wolse-ly said that at no period of military history was tho British army so cfli-cicnt, cfli-cicnt, so well trained, and in all other respects so thoroughly qualified to discharge dis-charge its functions as it is new. There were still defects ho admitted, for no human institution was absolutely perfect, per-fect, but tho progress was great and substantial, and what was more, it marked the militia and volunteers as well as the regular army. Piince Edward, Ed-ward, who has commanded the forces here for many years, was comparatively unknown. In eleven days mere he will attain his sixly-seventh year. He had but few of those meretorious features which attract and excite public attention, atten-tion, but he had capacities and virtues which induced his comrades and subordinates sub-ordinates to speak of him in tho language lan-guage of esteem. Lord Woolseloy took the command for a p..riod of live years, with the undevstan ling that his acceptance accept-ance of the olliee should not injure his chance, of obtaining employment in the field, should war bo declared in Europe or elsewhere. The secretary of war conceded the point, although ho would not definitely promise that Lord Wolseley would be selected for command com-mand under the conditions indicated. Sir Reavers Buller succeeds Lord Wolseley Wol-seley as adjutant general of the forces. |
