General Miles Tells How California
Cities Might Be Devastated.

WASHINGTON, July 81. - Senator HoaI,
chairman of the Senate committee upon the
relations of commerce and business with
Canada, presented to the Senate today the
testimony taken by that committee. This
testimony is not accompanied by a report
The testimony is that of military men, rail
road.oficials and prominent business men in
the United States and Canada. The testi-
mony covers all the points of vital interest as
to the relations between the United States
North America. The first witness examined
was General Nelson A. Miles, in command
on the Pacific coast who, commenting upon
the defenceless condition of the United States
upon our northwestern border, said: 81 be-
lieye the railway system OF British Columbia
could be occupied by American troops. not.
however, through Victoria. That is on the
island of Vancouver, occupied by the British
forces, place where the British government
has expended millions in building dry docks
and navy yards, and has made some surveys
for fortifcations. They have there at this
time fleet of war vessels under command
of British admiral. / think it fair to say
that during ten days that British feet could
destroy every town and city on Puget Sound,
destroy our railroad system there and occupy
our outlets for that northwestern country.
They could also send ships up the Columbia
river and destroy Portland and that railway
system. There Is not gun or earthwork on
Puget Sound, nor single artillery soldier.
There are few obsolete guns at the mouth
of the Columbia, at Fcrt Candy, that is not
now occupied by troops. That is the condi-
tion of affairs at the mouth of the harbor of
San Francisco. South of the harbor of San
Francisco there is not gun in position nor
a round of ammunition, nor single artillery
soldier to defend the harbors and cities of
San Diego, Santa Barbara and San Pedro.

While Law and Order Men Tried to
Stop the Came.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, July 2l.-Three thou
sand persons attended the ball game between
Rochester and Columbus yesterday after
noon. After the second inning disturbance
was created by twelve members Of the Law
and Order League of the town of Ironde-
quot, who, with Justice Coy at their head,
appeared at a closed gate leading from the
grand stand to the diamond, and demanded
that 1t be opened. Nobody obeying their
commands, they broke it down, and, march,
ing up to Umpire Curry, demanded that the
game be discontinued.
No warrants had been Issued for the ball
players and they resented this interference
of unauthorized persons. An argument
brought the whole crowd into the diamond
and pandemonium reigned for about 20 min
utes. Some of the most boisterous assaulted
the Irondequoit men, and blows were ex-
changed for several minutes. Finally the
Irondequoiters were hustled out side gate
and the game proceeded. Later. by agree
ment, the members OF the two clubs appeared
before Justice Baird and gave bail to appear
today.
