ANNUAL REPORT OF MILES
AXTI-GAXTBEK LAW, IIS THE 3IAIX,
"HAS BEEX BEXEFICTAL.
IIeutennnt-General Objects to Man
agement of Military Affairs
la. tlic War Department.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2S. Lieutenant
Qcnorcl if lies, in Ms annual xepqrt, gives
the total strength of the Army, at present)
a.? 4,513, of which number S3.874 are In
the United Slates, 43,258 In the Philip
p'nes, 4914 in Cuba, and the remainder in
small detachments in Porto Rico. Hawaii,
China and Alaska. He says it Is expected
that the force in Cuba -will be very much
t "ducod, and hopes, that the forcejln the
Philippines can also be reduced."
General Miles does not approve of the
present organization xf the Artillery Corps,
saying it establishes another bureau in
Washington. He helioves ia the .former
regimental organizations. ...
Speaking of the Army canteen, which
is abolished by the Army reorganization
law, he says that no injury has resulted,
and in the main the law has been 'bene
ficial. General Miles states his objections to
the management of military affairs in the
War "Department In the following lan
guage: . ,
"While Congress has made ample pro
vision for the management of military
affairs in the organization of the Army,
whereby the companies, regiments, bri
gades, divisions and departments are
made the units of administration, and by
statute has clothed the officials not only
with executive authority but with judi
cial powers and responsibility, yet the
tendency has been to absorb and usurp
the entire conduct of the military estab
lishment in the City of Washington, and
especially in the staff departments. This
has heen found injurious In other armies,
and is one of the principal defects in our
own system. The evil has been increasing
during the activities of the wars of the
last three years to an extent that, in
my judgment, requires serious considera
tion, and I recommend that decentraliza
tion be effected as far as possible, and
all proper and lawful authority be re
stored to subordinate commanders, who
are provided with an efficient organiza
tion, nd who can he safely entrusted
with responsibility for the efficient and
laithful administration of military affairs
commensurate with their Important com
mands." As a largo, portion of the Army is sta
tioned in the Western part of the United
States, and over one-half west of the Pa
cific Ocean, General Miles recommends the
establishment of a. military post in South
ern California. He also recommends the
establishment of a war college in the City
of Washington.
General Miles refers to a number of
recommendations which ho made in for
mer reports looking to the improiement
of the condition of the Army; also to or
ders he has issued during the year to ac
complish tills purpose. He speaks espe
cially of the experience, intelligence and
efficiency of the troops of the United
States, and the success they have had in
China and the Philippines, and says they
have borne the rigors of the Arctic cli
mate in Alaska and the heat of the trop
ics, and under all circumstances main
tained the character of the American
Army. He recommends that the military
posts throughout the country be put in
excellent shape for troops that are re
turned from service beyond the seas.
HEPORT OF CHIEF OF OIUJXAXCE.
General Bafflngton Arsrnes StronrIy
Aprain&t the Detail System.
WASHINGTON, Oct 28. General Buf
fington, chief of ordnance, in his annual
report, argues strongly against the de.;
tail system so far as it concerns his own
department. He points to the cultivation
by European countries of special ord
nance experts, as showing the necessity
lor making this service a life work. He
xrfcrs briefly to the necessity of reform
ing the system of all existing contracts,
pointing to two cases where .for three
3 ears and for sevfcn years, respectively,
the department has had contracts drag
ging along which it had heen forced to
make by Congress.
General Buffington submits a bill look
ing to the complete equipment of the
National Guard with the Krag-Jorgen-sen.
He says this rifle has met with
approval, hut he has not heen content
with that, and has made a sample rifle
much simpler, cheaper and stronger than
the existing model. Reference is made
to the disapproval of the Ordnance De
partment's efforts to supply the Army
with an advanced field-piece of three-inch
caliber with separate loaders, and it is
pointed out that as a result of waiting
-upon the field gun trials the Army might
remain for a considerable time with what
has been called antiquated and obsolete
material. Nevertheless, this material, it
is said, has' met the needs of the Army in
its latest campaigns, and the report
quotes General Chaffee to the effect that
the United States had the best field bat
tery in the Pekin campaign.
General Buffington tells at length of the
experiments that have been made by his
department during the past year to find
a high explosive and a proper fuse for
it, and says that the long, conscientious
and laborious work under discouraging
conditions has resulted in obtaining two
high explosives .for field and siege guns
and two for seacoasL
THE 3IARIXE CORPS.
Hcyrvood Agraln Recommends Higher
Rank for the Commandant.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. In his annual
report upon the condition and services of
the United States Marine Corps for the
past year, Brigadier-General Charles Hey
wood renews a former recommendation
that Congress shall make the rank of the
commandant of the Marine Corps that of
Major-General. This recommendation, it
Is stated, is embarrassing to the General,
Inasmuch as such action would result in
his own promotion, but he points out that
the present authorized strength of the
corps, G062 men, should entitle the com
mandant to the rank of Major-General, as
the Army regulations provide that the
appropriate command for a Major-General
Is four regiments, about 4800 men. Gen
eral Heywood strongly recommends that
the law providing that officers of the
Navy who served with honor during the
Civil War may Tetire with the next higher
rank he extended to the Marine Corps.
The totah number of casualties in the
enlisted force of the corps during the past
year, caused by discharges, desertions,
deaths and retirements, was 25S0. In con
clusion. General Heywood says:
"I am pleased to state that the corps
has been able to meet promptly and sat
isfactorily the many and varied demands
which have been made upon it during the
year, and feel justified m stating that it
has maintained its high reputation for ef
ficiency." SUPREME COURT DECISIOXS.

other and even stronger reason. I think
the eulogy should be delivered by some
persons who were in full accord with him

lie welfare, his love of liberty, and his
dGslre to do his duty as God gave him

England to Be Asked to Investigate.
NEW YORK. Oct. 28. Nothing has been
heard for some time of the promise made
by the government to institute an inquiry
into military operations In South Africa,
particularly in regard to the Modder Riv
er and Natal campaigns, fiays the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune. The
promise was exacted at a time when un
toward events at the seat of war were
stirring up popular feeling In England,
but as the causes which led to the de
mand have to a large extent passed into
the background, the desire for ah. official
Inquiry waned considerably. Recent rev
elations in the Buller controversy have
awakened recollection of the promise,
and the matter will be raised as soon as
Parliament meets.

in the scope of the inquiry all the alle
gations which have been made and are
being made against certain British offi
cers In respect to their conduct toward

HUNGARIAN DIET OPENED.
Speech From the Throne Dealt With.
Few International Affairs.
BUDAPEST, Oct. 28. "A close under
standing with the allies of the empire and

manent settlement on a reciprocal basiB
of the economic questions pending in dif
ferent parts of the monarchy.
"With a view to the preparation of in
ternational commercial treaties, which are
of decisive importance to the whole eco
nomic system," said the Emperor, "a re
arrangement of the general customs tariff
on the line of law 30, of 1899, is above all
necessary, extending equal and harmoni

tion and to agricultural and industrial in
terests." The only other reference of general in

Waldersee. The letters show how
strained, during the entire period of for
eign occupation, were the relations be
tween the French General-and the Commander-in-Chief
of the allies. The publi
cation, remarks the correspondent, is sig
nificant, because It must be by the con
sent of General Voyron or some .author
ized colleague of that General..

to protect Catholic missions, which Count
von Waldersee contested. The second let
ter, replying to the Field Marshal's pro

Meade, Agent and Warden Auburn Prison-:
I hereby authorize you, as warden of

my brother, Leon Czolgosz, burylnjr It lh

In accordance with tho law, in the ceme
tery attached to the prison.
"WALDECK CZOLGOSZ,
"JOHN A. SLEICHER,
"GEORGE A. GRAHAM,
"Witnesses."
The resolution of Superintendent Collins
to prevent any sensation fn the transpor
tation and burial or Cremation of the
body of CzoJsqsz took new zest from two
offers that were submitted today by men
of questionable enterprise. A keeper ot a
museum in one of the larger Eastern
cities telegraphed him an offer of $5000
spot cash for either the body or" the gar
ments of the murderer, and the owner of
a kinetoscope wired Warden Meade that
he would pay $2000 for permission to take
a moving picture of Czolgosz entering the
death chamber. The superintendent also
had his suspicions aroused as to the
motives of some of the relatives of Czol
gosz in seeking the body, in view of their
poverty, and the trouble and danger pos
sible In connection with its removal and
disposal. The superintendent chanced to
meet Waldeek Czolgosz, brother of the
njurderer, as he was being escorted to the
death cell shortly after his arrival, and at
once took the matter up with him. He
asked Waldcck Czolgosz If. he wanted the
body. He said he did. Collins then told
him that he did not believe It would be
removed without serious trouble, and
strongly advised him against the at
tempt. The plan to take it to Buffalo,
where Czolgosz had assassinated the Presi
dent, he regarded as particularly danger
ous. Collins discussed tho matter from
the standpoint of Czolgosz' family, and
said they would surely avoid serious an
noyance and possible violence by consent
ing to burial here. He assured Waldeek
Czolgosz that he and the family could
attend; that they would be protected, and
that the body would bo given a decent
burial. Czolgosz was obdurate, however,
and Collins finally told him that if there
was a Wfell-grounded suspicion as to the
motive In claiming the body he would
refuse to surrender it, law or no law.
.Czolgosz then seemed inclined to give in,
and .went with the superintendent to the
office of Warden Meade, where a paper
relinquishing all claim upon the bod was
drawn up. While it was being prepared
Collins called up the Chief of Police of
Cleveland, and asked him to discuss the
matter with Czolgosz, senior. Collins
asked that the question be fairly stated
to the father, and that if he agreed, a
telegram of relinquishment be signed by
him and sent at once. . The Cleveland
, police expressed , the hope that the body
wouiq. never De sent to that city.
When the superintendent submitted to
Czolgohz the instrument relinquishing all
claim to the body he refused to sign It
until he had an opportunity to advl3e
with Thomas Bandowski, his brother-in-law,
ho was the leader in the plan to
Secure the body. He promised a final an
swer at 7 o'clock, when he was to call
with Bandowski for a final visit to the
condemned man. Collins agreed to send
for him, but would not let the brother
leave the prison. Finally he was, at 6
e'clock, informed that the people at the
Buffalo crematory would not accept the
body, and Superintendent Collins at once
pointed out to him that he would have
the body on his hands. At a few minutes
past G o'clock he agreed to sign, and it
was decided to bury the body in the
prison.
The agreement, signed prohibits any por
tion of the body being removed from the
prison, and this will be strictly enforced.
PREPARATIONS FOR EXECUTION.
Officers Threw Every Safeguard
Around the Prisoner. s
AUBURNf N. Y., Oct. 28.-The officials
of Auburn prison this morning began
final preparations for the execution of
Leon F. Czolgosz. Warden' J. Warren
Mead conferred with Electrician Davis
and the keepers and guards who assist
in the execution, and the programme was
carefully gone over. Warren Mead se
lected his assistants from among the
prison employes who had had the widest
experience in executions.
Walter N. Thayer, ex-warden ot Dan
ncmora Prison, who was requested by
Superintendent Collins to assist and ad
vise Warden Mead during the week ar
rived today. He inspected the death
chamber and, chair, and suggested an im
provement in the latter, which was made
at once. He found that the "bars ot the
back of the chair were rather far apart
and expressed an opinion that an upright
backboard placed inside tho bars Would
Strengthen the grip of the straps upon
the body of the condemned man. The
suggestion wa9 adopted. While Thayer
was Inspecting the chair. Electrician Da
vis tested the switchboard and let the
electric current through it in final teat.
Mr. Davis also placed new sponges on
the head and leg electrodes. Late in the
afternoon the autopsy table was wheeled
into the room adjoining the death cham
ber. Under orders from the warden a
plain pine coffin, stained black, was also
prepared.
