THE WESTERN FLEET
Rear Admiral J. N. Miller Is to Take
Command

NEW YORK, July "A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: Rear
Admiral J. N. Miller will be the next
Commander-inChi of the Pacific
squadron. All doubts on this point were
removed when a cablegram was re-
ceived at the department from that Off
GER announcing that he would leave in
the Brooklyn at once for New York. The
department learning through Special
Ambassador Reid that Miss Miller is i'll
with typhoid fever in London, cabled to
Rear Admiral Miller authorizing him to
delay his return. In his message to the
department the officer said that his
daughters condition has improved to
such an extent that he feels justified in
returning with the Brooklyn. Upon his
arrival orders will be issued by the de-
partment to Rear Admiral Miller direct
ing him to proceed at once to the west
coast and assume command of the Pa
cific squadron.

Coffee Prices Cut

NEW YORK, July 2.-The latest epi-
sode in the war between sugar refining
interests and Arbuckle Bros. is another
reduction of half cent in the price of
coffee by the Woolson Spice Company

begun because the Arbuckles were pre-
pairing to go into the sugar refining busl-
ness.

ests. The reduction brings the price
to ten cents a pound. 1t is expected

In the bewildering maze Of the

treasures; there is one little room that
attracts greater number of visitors
than any other, says Lippincott's. The
crowds that throng about the cases In
this room are composed of persons of
curiously diverse characteristics. 1t is
center OF interest for scholar and
literary people, and yet seems as at
tractive to the least learned Of the Wis.
itors. This ID the room which contains
the department of autographs and man.
uscripts. and the treasures within 1t
are perhaps the most humanity interest
ing in the whole museum. Here are
all manner of writings by the hands of
the worlds great men OF many ages
and countries. There are personal let
ters Of kings and popes. queens, minis
ters and courtiers. whose names in his
tory, In story and in song seem not to
stand for real men and women, but
letters reveal in some homely phrase
or bit Of simple sentiment touch OF
human nature which seems to make
them more akin to those who curiously
scan the documents to-day. Here one
may come. as it seems, to actual ac-
quaintance with the most notable of
the characters in Shakespeare's histor-
ical dramas, and get new reading, in
the quaint original, of passages in his
works. Here are charters and state
papers that tell volumes of history in
few lines letters OF the great relig-
ious reformers, Of statesmen. generals,
poets and composers. These autograph
documents, many Of them letters from
husband to wife or lover to sweetheart,
show famous personages in a very diff
ferent light from that in which they are
commonly seen in the pages Of his
tory.

Lord Castlereagh, as the representative
Of this country, demurred to a pledge
which his sovereign could not UNDER

he desired to avoid all possibility Of

sovereigns. while refraining on the
ground of constitutional necessity from
entering, on his own part, into any
obligations such as were proposed.
The other powers had no such hesita-

OF crushing trouble at the beginning by
lending their forces to put down any
movement, whether strictly domestic
or not, which threatened to interfere
with an established organization. The
general outcome Of the settlement was
a series of guarantees against interna-
tional aggression, supplemented by the
special obligations OF the members of
