Special Correspondence
In spite of all the stories to the
contrary Gov. Nelson A. Miles, says
and he certainly knows, that he id
not come to Washington under Of
fetal orders, and that it was the
of Miss Rachel Sherman,
a cousin of his wife, which brought
him and Mrs. Miles here. Some eX-
ira enterprising purveyort OF scnsa-
tional news had assigned Gen. Mil
es TO the command of an army that
was being made ready to invade
Chill.
Gen. Horace Porter, the popular
New York orator, VINO came over
TO attend the wedding of Miss Rae
hei sherman, ia one OF those who
do not hesitate TO s,,eak in favor Of
IA foreign war, He said: 81 scarcely
look tor IL war with Chill, although
| think II little brush with an out
slider would be a good thing for the
United states patriotism becomes
stagnant by too long an epoch Of
peace. | rather regret that we did
not administer a thrashing to Italy,.
The schedule of the articles EN-
braced in the reciprocity treaty
with Great Britain for the British
West Indies was made public this
week and it is regarded with min.
gled praise and wonder. Praise
because of the benefits certain to
accrue therefrom to our farmers
and manufacturers, and wonder
that England should have been per-
suaded to give us so much of the
trade that she has practically mon
opolized for many years. One of
the Commissioners, of the part of
the colonies, who negotiated the
treaty said, that Englandnever did
anything more unwillingly then
authorizing the negotiation of this
treaty, but was recognized that the
American smarket was absolutely
necessary to the colonies, and that
it would be closed to them unless
satisfactory concessions were made.
Secretary Elkins took formal
charge of the War department yes
terday, and his Office was crowded
with friends who called to tender
their congratulations.
The democratic members of the
House are beginning to realize that
they have been indulging in some
wild talk about making whole sale
reductions in the annual approp-
riations, and they are already he'd
ging on that subject. 1t is an easy
matter for anybody to criticise the
total amount appropriated by the
last Congress and to call it extrav-
agance, but up to this time none of
them have been able to point out
one single instance in which money
was appropriated where twas not
needed or where one dollar was ap-
propriated for which the govern
ment will not get one hundred
cents in value. And ii the Demo-
cratic House in its anxiety to make
a showing of economy shall dare to
attempt to cripple any branch of
the Government service by Withhold
ing necessary appropriations its
party will pay dearly for the mig
gardly policy. The people of this
country do not object to liberal az
preparations so long as they know
that they are receiving full value
for the money spent.
Reciprocity treaties with Gauta-
mala and Sansalvador have been
signed by Secretary Blaine.
The President has become salts
fed that the attitude of the CHILEAN
Minister towards a satisfactory set
Element of the matter is not sus-
tanned by the Gillian government,
aud he has therefore determined
that all the correspondence, which
will show beyond the shadow of
