MILES HAS TO GO
Will Be Forced to Retire at
an Early Date.
ROOT HAS HAD ENOUGH OF HIM
Whe Secretary, in Addition to the
Burden of the Department, Has
to Meet the General's Op
s position.
"WASHINGTON. April 13. The issues
are fairly joined between the Lleutenant
General and the Secretary of War. The
troubles which began long ago under the
Cleveland Administration have finally
reached so critical a stage that a com
pulsory retirement of General Miles at
an early date is an open secret, and is not
denied at the White House.
In explanation of President Roosevelt's
position, one of his close friends, who un
questionably speaks by authority, said:
"The question is not a personal one"
between General Miles and Secretary
Hoot At present Secretary Hoot has on
his shoulders a heavier burden than any
other member of the Administration. No
man less strong could carry it all; and
now, at the very time when ho requires
the most loyal support of every subordi
nate who wishes "well to the Army and
the Nation, he has to spend much of
his strength in meeting the opposition. of
the commanding General. If General
Miles is retired, It will be simply because,
after a patient trial. President Roosevelt
feels that on the highest ethical grounds
his retention would work grave and last
ing injury to the Army asa whole.
"As some of General Miles' friends have
said that it would be unfair to retire him,
it should be said, In the first place, that
he secured his promotion to a Brigadier
Generalship only through the similar
forced retirement of General Ord, he hira
'self being jumped oer by a number of
his senior officers in the vacancy thus cre
ated; and, in the second place, that .the
1 only action of the kind taken by President
Roosevelt since he has been in office was
in the case of Colonel Noyes, .who was
compulsorily retired after reaching the
age of 62, on the recommendation of Gen
eral Miles. In other words, the General
has himself recommended and profited by
the very action which his friends now
fear may be taken at his expense
"If he should go out before General
Brooke Is retired, General Brooke, who
is General Miles' senior, both In service
and in age, and who did gallant and dis
tinguished work as a volunteer in the
Civil War, would undoubtedly be put in
his place as X.Ieutenant-General, as it Is
known that the Administration has been
very desirous -of recognizing General
Brooke's long and faithful service. Gen
eral Brooke, during the Civil War, ren
dered equally meritorious service with
General Miles. General Brooke was the
first to obtain a commission, and through
out the Civil War he retained his advan
tage, ending the war as General Miles'
senior. After peace came General Miles
was promoted over General Brooke's head.
"As General Brooke will necessarily hold
the position but a brief period before his
retirement for age. General S. B. M.
Young Is likely to succeed General Brooke,
and General Chaffee's promotion will fol
low two years hence."
THE WARSAW CONSULSHIP."
Dr. Campbell Gives Up the Fight and
Co m cm Home.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 13. Consul
Campbell has gone to the United States,
declaring that ho Intends to place his res
ignation in the hands of Secretary of
'State Hay. This brings to an end the
misunderstandings, which h'ave lasted six
rnontha.
On the death of Joseph Rawltz, for
many years American Consul at Warsaw,
fhis nephew Vladistaw Rawitz, the surviv
ing head of tho Rawltz banking-house,
! signified his desire to succeed to the War
'saw Consulship. W. R. Holloway, the
United States Consul-General at St. Pe
tersburg, with the assent of Charlemagne
Tower, the American Ambassador to Rus
feia, recommended that Vladistaw Rawltz
be given this post, saying that the office
had been excellently managed by Joseph
Rawltz, and that the Rawltzes enjoyed
ian excellent reputation.
I Jeremiah Curtin, ex-Secretary of the
'United States Embassy here, caused the
first complication by requesting that Herr
Wolff, the publisher of Sicnkiewicz's
Works, be appointed Consul at Warsaw.
H. H. D. Pierce, the Third Assistant Sec
retary of State, wrote Mi. Holloway and
laeked him if he Insisted on his recom
mendation. Mr. Holloway did Insist upon
the appointment of Vladistaw Rawltz,
land Mr. Tower undertook discreetly to
sound the Russian Government regarding
the acceptability of that gentleman. This
inquiry, by some mistake, caused the issu
ance of an exequatur for Rawitz. As the
Consular position at Warsaw la highly es
. teemed. Rawltz immediately received con
gratulatory visits from the local officers
and the other Consuls. At this- stage of
the proceedings Rawltz became greatly
embarrassed, as etiquette required that
his first visit be paid he Governor-General,
and this was impossible without
'American papers.
William M. Osborn, United States Con-sul-General
at London, Intervened by rec
ommending the appointment of Mr. Camp
bell, an American dentist in London, who
formerly lived in Warsaw. Rawltz be
fcame very much perturbed by newspaper
statements that Campbell had been ap
pointed on the ground of his American
citizenship. He made persistent but in
effectual attempts to get Mr. Holloway
and Mr. Tower further to support his
cause.
In the meantime a storm had gathered
over Campbell's head. The Consular clerk
at Warsaw, voicing the alleged widespread
objection of the Inhabitants of the city
to the American, wrote General Holloway
that Campbell could not anticipate an
exequatur, ae his real name was Finkel
steln and he wss born in Lemberg. The
Consular clerk further charged that
Campbell had given different birthplaces
in his applications for passports, and that
local society was against him because of
his elopement with an heiress of Warsaw.
Campbell came here and ridiculed these
charges asserted that he was a Christian;
that he was born in Montreal, Canada;
that he was a naturalized American citi
zen, and formerly a deniet In Chicago.
Ho declared that his mother-in-law was
responsible for the charges against him,
which she brought at the desire of with
holding 100,000 rubles due his wife from
the paternal estate. Consul-General Hol
loway was sifting this matter when he
was Informed that Campbell had aban
doned the fight.
OUR TRADE WITH CANADA.
LarRcr Than Our Commerce With
the Whole of South America.'
WASHINGTON, April 13. Tho United
States enjoys more of Canadian custom
than the rest of the world put together.
Attention is directed to this fact In that
portion of "Commercial Relations of lSOl"
(now In press), which deals with United
States trade with Canada, an -extract of
w.hlch was given out for publication lay
Mr, Emery, Chief of the Bureau of For
eign Commerce today." It is pointed out
that so closely allied are trade conditions
in this country and Canada that pros
perity or depression In the united States
, immediately t finds echo in the trade of (

Britain lost to us her lead In the matter I
of goods sent into the Dominion, and from J
that year forward, with but a slight In
terval, this country has steadily length
ened the gap. It Is not as widely rea
lized as It should be, says the report,
that Canada is the best customer wo
have, excepting only Great Britain and
Germany. Consul-General Bittlnger, at
Montreal, In a report on the subject,
says:
"The United States does more business
with Canada than with the whole of South
America; as much as with Central Amer
ica, Mexico and the West Indies together,
and nearly as much as with Africa, Asia
and Oceanica. Our present tariff policy
toward Canada causes the building up
of great manufacturing interests to com
pete with our own. If we fceek trade
in other countries, we must not deny them
the opportunity to sell some of their
products to us. Canada wants to send to
the "United States her lumber, wood pulp,
hay, barley and minerals. The United
States consumes more lumber and paper
than any other nation in the world, and
she should be glad to admit lumber and
wood pulp free. If the United States
would take off the duty, on Canadian coal
(which could profitably be sold only to a
very limited extent along our Eastern
Coast) our coal would be admitted Into
Canada free and our sales of coal In the
Dominion would be double what they are
at present."
Canada's total Importations for consump-
COLFAX, Wash., April 13. The most notable landmark In East
ern Washington, Steptoe Butte, is to bo sold nt Sheriff's sale
April 26 to satisfy a judgment of $1791 and $200 attorney's fees obtained by
the Canadian & American Mortgage Company in foreclosure proceedings. The
landmark Is located near the center of Whitman County, about half way
between Colfax and Oakesdale, and stands 3S00 feet above the sea level and
2000 feet above Colfax. The entire butte covers about 2000 acres, but only
the apex, containing ICO acres, is to be sold. On the very top of the butte
stands a large two-story hotel, with a cupola on the roof. This was former
tlon In the Inst fiscal year amounted to
$181,233,000. Imports from the United
States reached the spleriUId figure of $110,
4C5.000, an Increase of some $000,000 over the
preceding year.
Figures are given to show that the
preferential tariff has failed to affect seri
ously trade movements. Dutiable goods
from the United States snowed a decrease
of about $300,000 last year,' but this is
attributed in part to the growth of Ca
nadian Industries.
As a curious instance of "how industries
may be throttled by legislation, Mr. Bit
tlnger relates that the British preferential
tariff enabled British exporters last year
to send to the Dominion woolen goods- tD
the value of $10,000,000. As they were
considered of better quality than, and as
cheap as, the home product, many Ca
nadian mills have been obliged to close
down.
Consul Shepard. at Hamilton, in his re
port, calls attention to the interesting f ict
that the big dry goods houses of Canada
send their milliners and modistes to New
York several times a year to observe and
copy rtsles, and have practically turned
their backs on the European modes
formerly 'so popular.
A plan of the Canadian Pacific Railway
authorities to redeem some 3,000,000 acres
of arid lands between Calgary and Medi
cine Hat Is described by Consul-General
Bittlnger. The scheme is to build a dam
at Row River, a mile cast of Calgary, cut
intersecting canals and leave the rest to
the force of gravitation.
Commercial Agent Freeman, at St.
Pierre, French North America, notes that
the local trade is suffering through the
Newfoundland legislation which forbids
bait to be sold from the colony to the
French.
Connecticut Sumatra.
WASHINGTON, April 13. Professor
Milton Whitney, Chief of the Bureau of
Soils of the Department of Agriculture,
has returned from a trip to Hartford,
Conn., New York and Philadelphia, where
he went to learn the feeling In regard to
the Sumatra tobacco grown under cheese
cloth covering by direction of the depart
ment's tobacco experts. He reports that
the interest in this tobacco leaf is encour
aging to the tobacco trade., and says that
it will become a sharp competitor of Su
matra tobacco. He says that the leaf
has Improved very much since it was
packed.
GENERALS BEING CHANGED
Revolutionists Retreating; Into the
Interior.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao,
April 13. President Castro, of Venezuela,
is making continual changes among tne
Generals, whom he sends out to conduct
the campaign against the revolutionists.
General Fadeo, who was deserted by hi3
troops and routed by the enomy near
Carupano, is in disgrace. General Eu
calante, ex-Governor of Caracas, who has
recently been In command of the govern
ment forces at Carupano, Is returning to
Caracas. He will be replaced by General
Castillo. Castillo left Caracas yesterday
for Carupano with two guns and 600 men,
to reinforce the 1200 government soldiers
already there.
The revolutionists under Monagas are
retreating in the direction of Clarlnes,
thus obliging tho government troops to
enter the Interior of the country. There
is no change in the situation at Barce
lona, Carupano and Cumana, and the ex
pected engagements at these places have
riot yet occurred.
A bomb "was exploded last night In Car

COLUMBIA, S. C, April 13. In the
presence of thousands of people who
came to pay their last tribute of lovo
and respect, the body of Wade P. Hamp

Trinity Church yard today. Every ef
fort had been made by the family to

by the state, declare the demonstration
this afternoon was the greater. The out

Every railroad leading here was forced

enter the Hampton house, several thou
sand people, including a great many ne
groes, passed by the coffin.
The procession Included all the organ
izations, about S00 militia and the dele
gations from schools and colleges. All
marched In double rank and close order
and the line was a mile and a half long.
All men on foot except General Hamp
ton's family. Each of the 100 Daughters
of the Confederacy carried a floral offer
ing. Besides there were wagon loads of
magnificent flowers. The procession
moved to the church, a little over a
half mile distant, between rows of people.
Some of the houses on the way had
Confederate flags draped in mourning.
Seats in the church could be pnnlded
for but 1700 people, while perhaps 20.000
were without. General Hampton's fam
ily servants were provided for within.
Bishop Ellison Capers, assisted by four
pastors, conducted the services. In tho
open air, the choir sang during the
burial.
Among the survivors was the body of
the men who first went to war with
Hampton members of the Hampton Leg
ion, and they carried their shot-torn
flag of Hampton's command. After the
last ceremony, men wearing the old
Confederate gray filled the grave.

WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO
House "Will Be Occupied This Week
With the Cuban Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 13. The leaders of
the House expect to see the Cuban reci
procity bill passed by the present week,
but they admit that the debate may be
prolonged so that the final vote will not be
reached until next week. Proceeding as
the debate Is,' without a rule, it can. be
drawn out practlcaly as long as anybody
desires to speak, but the leaders believe
the general debate will exhaust Itself by
Thursday at the latest. Dalzell will close
the general debate in favor of the bfll.
When the measure Is thrown open under
the five-minute rule, a great number of
amendments will be offered by the Demo
crats, with a view of opening up a way
ly supplied with a powerful field glass, through which Mount Baker, In Ore
gon, over S00 miles distant, could be seen on a clear day. Tho butte was the
scene of Colonel Steptoe's fatal fight with Indians in 1S57, and was named In
his honor. A wagon road, shown In the photograph herewith produced, winds,

of many notable social events, and dances held there were often attended by

fields of the Palouse country will be noticed In the foreground of the scene

for amending the schedules of the Ding
ley tariff law. It Is known -In advance
that all such amendments will be held to
be not germane to the bill, whose title
provides for reciprocity with Cuba, and
that only amendments raising or lowering
the amount of the proposed concession
will be held to be In order. Appeals will
be takn from the rulings of the chair
on the general tariff amendments, but It
Is certain that with possibly one exception
the appeals will be unsuccessful. That
exception may be jhe amendment to take
the differential off refined sugar. It Is ad
mitted o.i both sides of the chamber that
the real fight will come on that amend
ment. A number of Republicans who are op
posing the till have announced that they
will vote to overrule the chair on that
proposition, and the Democrats expect to
be able to cast a solid vote for It. The
weakness of the position of the friends of
this proposition Is that the test will not
come directly on the amendment, but on
the ruling of the chair. If a motion to
recommit with Instruction to report back
such an amendment is made, it will be
held not to be In order, under the general
theory of parliamentary law that the
House cannot Instruct the committee to
do what Itself cannot do. The Republi
can oppoH.tlon to the bill, as shown last
Tuesday on the motion to go Into com
mittee of the whole, is In the neighbor
hood of -10. Added to the Democratic votet
if solidly cast, the opposition would have
a clear majorty of 10. But the Republican
leaders prefers confidence In their belief
that not enough of the Republican recal
citrants will go to the length of voting to
override the chair to make with the Dem
ocrats a majority of the House. More
over, they assert that some of the Demo
crats themselves will hesitate to adopt
this method of getting a vote on a prop
osition, which they contend is plainly not
germane. If the danger involved in the
amendment to abolish the differential Is
passed, the bill will have plain sailing on
its final passage, as a majority of the
Democrats will vote for it.
Programme In the Senate.
In accordance with the agreement
reached Friday last, the Senate Wednes
day will vote or the Chinese exclusion
bill, and the present understanding is that
the Philippine government bill will bo
taken up immediately afterwards. It is
probable, however, that the Philippine bill
will be soon broken In on by the calling
up of the river and harbor 'bill. Being
an appropriation bill. It is a privileged
measure, and can be taken up at any time,
but it Is not the desire of the committee
to have it" considered until there shall
have been a chanco afforded to make fur
ther amendments In committee. That op
portunity will not be provided until
Thursday, following the vote on the Chi
nese bill. The opponents of the Chinese
bill will press their flght from this time
forward, and If they find that they cannot
secure Its recomlttal, they will concen
trate their efforts on proposed amend
ments. Especial effort will be made to
secure the adoption of the Piatt substi
tute. There will be a number of short
speeches on the bill Monday and Tuesday,
and in addition to these. Senators Fora
ker and McLaurin of South Carolina have
given notice of set speeches for Otfonday.
A portion of the day Saturday will be de
voted to eulogies on the late Senator Kjle,
of South Dakota.
Snspcctcd of Double Murder.
CLEVELAND. April 13. Mrs. Martha J.
Calhoun, aged 75, and her daughter, Mrs.
Vaughn, aged 4S, were shot and killpd
today near Mantuna Station, a village 40
miles from Cleveland. Will Vaughn, a
stepson of the younger woman, is under
arrest, charged with having committed the
crimes. What are believed to be blood
stains were found on his trousers. These,
Will Vaughn says, came from a cut finger.
Vaughn's father died a few days ago
and it is believed he left the bulk of his
estate to the two women. Vaughn was
not a member of his father's household,
living alone, quite secluded from hla
neighbors, Jn a house some distance from
his father's home.

AFTER THE BEEF TRUST
GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN
TO DISSOLVE IT.
STEPS
Federal Grand Jury Will Be Ordered
at Kansas. City to Ini estimate
the Matter.
3CANSAS CITY, April 13. The Journal
tomorrow will say:
According to a dispatch from Washing
ton, Major William Warner, United States
District Attorney, has been Instructed by
the Attorney-General immediately to take
steps to dissolve the so-called beef trust.
A Federal grand jury will be ordered this
week to commence its sessions next Mon
day. Major Warner yesterday positively
declined to make any statement whatever
regarding the matter. "I have not a word
to say," he declared, when asked about
the order from Washington.
Nothing so important -to the entire peo
ple has occurred In years as the ordering
of this Federal investigation, if it should
transpire to be a fact, as It Is believed
to be. In the past year, but notably In the
past six- months, the price of meat has
gone up in an alarming way.
The attorney for one of the largest
packers iu Kansas City, after hearing the
dispatch to the Journal read, said:
"We anticipated some such movement as
t this. Two weeks ago a dispatch from
Washington Indicated that President
Roosevelt would personally order an In
vestigation. We scarcely thought that It
would go to the length of having the
District Attorney summon a grand jury,
as I understand Major Warner has ar
ranged, to do. As to the merits or demer
its of the case I have nothing to say. Of
course, all agree that meats are up. Sp
are cattle."
A large retail dealer said:
"We think there Is a trust. No butcher
Is allowed to slaughter his own cattle.
If he does there will be a butcher shop
start next door to him and he will find
himself undersold on everything he offers
for sale. It is this treatment which com
pels all" of us to buy from the packers,
and all packers charge the same price."
COTTON YARN MILLS TRUST.
Plans on Foot for the Formation of

ATLANTA, Ga., April 13. The Constitu

Plana are on foot for the formation of a

of the Southern States. A committee
named at a recent meotlntr of the South-
i era yarn spinners, and which, has made
an lnvestigaiton, will report favoring the
acceptance of a proposal made by F. L.
Underwood, of New York, who agrees to
Issue a total of $00,000,000 capital stock un

Underwood agrees to pay to all of the

roundings. The men in the house were
arrested. They denied they were any

boys and men in Yucatan, where the de
mand for labor is very pressing. The 11
bos were to have been sent to Vera
Cruz, and thence to go to their long slav

Iglesias to entrap boys and confine them
in the house until a convenient opportu
nity arose for taking them to Yucatan.
Iglesias is still at large.
