Secretary Lamont Declines to Speak.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3O.-Secretary La
mont declined to mako any statement re-
garding General Miles prospective ap-
pointment to succeed General Schofield as
general of the army, but his appointment
is generally regarded here as certain. 1t
is thought his commission will BE issued
within few days, and that he will there
upon come TO Washington.
There were three major generals from
whom the selection might have been made
--General Miles, General Thomas II. Ru-
ger, ON special duty in Washington in
connection with the revising of the tao
tical branch of the service, and General
Wesley Merritt in command Of the de-
partment Of the Missouri, with headquar-
ters at Chicago. OF these General Miles
was the ranking officer.
It was rumored that General Miles
might fail TO secure the appointment be.
cause OF the alleged fact that his report
on the Chicago strike did not meet with
the presidents views This rumor Of Mr.
Cleveland displeasure over the report
was denied at the time by Secretary La
mont, who said that neither himself nor
the president had any fault TO find with
the character of the report and the pros
pectiye appointment Of General Miles
seems TO furnish conclusive evidence that
such was the case.

OUR,railroad facilities are as good as deadly animosity of the Missouri Pacific system toward the l.. k. & NJ. Rv.. frequently, If not at all times operates greatly to the disadvantage of the ship per, thus putting the hardships intend ed for the l.. k. x NJ. Ry.. upon inno- cent and unsuspecting citizens, and causing the matter to be in fact of no concern to the l.. R, & M., who, in such cases as the following, receives its full share of freight charges anyway . A carload of corn destined for some point on the Iron Mountain route was loaded at Madison, four miles east of this city on the l.. R. & Nj. and hauled by them to this place On arriving at Forrest City the IronANountain would not receive it unless Ihe freight was prepaid, and the l.. R. & NJ. having no authority to prepay the freight, the corn had to be unloaded and reloaded into an Iron Mountain car and retilIed causing the shipper to pay two freight bills and go to the expense and delay of unloading and reloading. If our ex- port trade is to be continued and ipcreas- ed, which it will be under favorable conditions, then such petty acts upon the part of the railroad ought to be stopped. 4 business league could do much toward bringing about amicable relations between these bellgerents.
