Mullet fishing by night IN the Chesa-
pealze is exciting sport. A small boat
is used and a light is placed in the
stern When a school of the fish is
sighted near the shore the boat is rap

driven ashore. Once they feel the
land beneath them they begin to leap
toward the light. Then the boat IS
depressed on the shoreward side, 50 as

Of the fish leap into the boat and are
thus taken.

how they regard it as merely the thin

American citizen to consider wherein is
the benefit to the United States. If our

AN unoontradicted ru NOR is in circula-
ton, for which there seems unfortunately
to be some foundation, that some of the
gentlemen to whom the management of
the Republican campaign has been in
trusted are making the somewhat serious
mistake of promoting, instead of assuag-
ing, factional differences in the party. It
hardly needs to be pointed out that this is
not sound policy nor good sense This is
not a time for campaign managers to
show favoritism to any faction of the
party, when all are united in a common
effort for success. The supreme endeavor
should be to allay the animosties en-
gendered by recent differences, and sol
idify instead of dividing the party.

GENERAL MILES REPORT
The Work Of His Soldiers in the
Great Chicago Strike,
No1PIBNT REBELLION SUPPRESSED

The Commander of the Department of the
Missouri Declares That the situation Dur
ing the A. II. U. Strike Was Open Hos
tility TO the National Government.
WASHINGTON, Oct 17-The annual re-
port of Major General Nelson A. Miles,
commanding the department Of the Mis-
souri,, showing the conduct of affairs in
that departm mt, isa remarkably short doc
ument considering the stormy period Of
internal strife covered by it. But not
withstanding its brevity it contains some
very terse and significant statements rela-
tive to the strike. The report begins with
the statement that there have been no
changes of troops in the department dur,
ing the year, and continues as follows:
Gas in previous years. the troops in the
Indian and Oklahoma territories have been
occupied during much of their time in re-
moving trespassers from the public lands,
in preserving order in the newly settled
region, and in keeping the peace between
hostile factions of the semicivilized In
dian tribes In addition to removing and
expelling intruders in the Choctaw ma
tion, and from the Usage and Kaw Indian
reservations, the troops stationed at Forts
the purpose of protecting the United States
mails, guarding railroad bridges and sup
porting the United States marshal in max
ing arrests.
''All Of these difficult duties have been
performed in manner which shows good
Judgment and discretion on the part of the
officers and good state of discipline and
faithful service on the part of the troops,
and it is believed that but for their prompt
Intervention much bloodshed would have
resulted. The troops having quickly and
efficiently accomplished the arduuus duties
assigned 20 them, have been withdrawn
from the field and returned to their re-
spective stations.
"The conduct of the troops in restoring
order and confidence where mob violence
! and reign of terror existed in Chicago
was marked by great forbearance, fortitude
and excellent discipline, and their pres
ence and action here very greatly con
| tributed to the maintenance of civil law
and in my opinion saved this country
| from a serious rebellion when one had
been publicly declared to exist by one most
responsible for its existence"
The remainder of the report is very for
NAL, and is confined to a recital of the sub
sequent Withdrawal of the troops, their
maneuvers in sham battle and some com
| plimentary remarks upon their efficiency.
An appendix to the report is contributed
by Captain J. NJ. Lee, Ninth infantry, in
which he says;
Throughout all these perilous times it
| is gratifying to state that the conduct dis
| cipline and efficiency of the troops were so
pronounced that even their presence over
awed the turbulent and lawless, and won
