MILES AT The CAPITAL
GREETED BY AN ENTHUSIASTIC
ASSEMBLAGE
Glad to Get Home but Has Nothing to
Add to His Statement to
to the Press

| WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Major General
Nelson A. Miles. commanding the army
of the United States, accompanied by Mrs.
Miles and Colonel Maus and Colonel Mich
efer of his staff, arrived here from New
| York at A:35 o'clock this afternoon.
General Miles and party came over the
Pennsylvania in dining car attached to
the regular westbound train They were
met at the Sixth street station by Major
Black, a member Of General Miles staff,
and Captain Morton, clerk in the office OF
the commanding general.
In anticipation of the arrival OF General
Miles, several thousand people had assem-
bled at the station. A Gordon OF police Of
ficers opened way through the crowd at
the gate, through which the distinguished d
party passed by the platform into the sta
ton to the carriage which stood in waiting
at the main entrance.
AS General Miles stepped from the rear
platform of his car he gave Kind greet
ing to his coachman, who stood awaiting
him. and them handed him a bundle of
souvenir canes, while he grasped the hands
of Captain Morton, Major Black and two
or three newspaper men. He was attired In
an unconventional blue serge sack suit and
wore broad d-brimmed Porto Rico fibre
hat. AS General Miles passed through the
crowd in the station his hands were clasped
a score of times by an enthusiastic crowd
of men and women. He gave cordial
greeting to ALL and as he and Mrs. Miles
and Colonel Micheaer stepped into the car
riage the crowd burst into cheers.
While expressing his qualification at the
successful termination of the war and his
pleasure at once more being at home,
General Miles said he had nothing to say
at this time in addition to the statement
given to the press by him in New York.
From the Pennsylvania depot General
and Mrs. Miles were conveyed direct to
their residence.
General Miles did mot leave his home
during the evening. 1t was expected he
would call at the White House, but he said
he had no inkenTion of doing so tonight He
will resume his duties at the headquarters
of the army in the war department tomor-
row and will avail himself Of an early op-
portunty to pay his respects to the presi-
dent.
The tension over General Miles criticism
Of Alger is gradually subsiding and in high
official quarters the belief was expressed
tonight that mo official attention will be
paid to the criticism.

United States and England"
The question Of protecting American trade
interests in her possible colonies BY plac-
ing similar tariffs upon outside imports
az are imposed in this country was broached
TO Mr.. Chamberlain, but he dtsmissed It
with this reply:
''If you become colonial power ana place
tariffs upon foreign imports In your pos
session, I venture to say that your colo
nies would not pay. In view Of the fact
however. that you have tried tariffs here
and proved the policy successful for years,
II would not be becoming on my part to
say anything further on this head"
Mr.. Chamberlain's attention was then
diverted to the subject Of the talked Of
alliance between the United States and
Great Britain.
II think" he went on, "that a somewhat
extreme view has been taken In some quar-
ters of the desire to establish the best
friendly relations between the two nations.
So far as I understand the question. there
is no proposition Of hard and fast for
NAL alliance proposed. A regularly drawn
up and signed treaty is not suggested so
far as my knowledge goes. What the
English people desire Is no more than
complete understanding and amicable re-
lations between the two countries. II we
can only understand each other better !
think that a perfect unity between the
two countries will be developed without the
aid Of any formal alliance. can say with
certainty that 80 out of every 100 people In
England are eager that there should be
some sort of tacit friendly agreement be-
tween this nation and yours. The English
people are ready to enter into such an
agreement as far as you wish. to carry 1t.
How broad 1t shall be, or how restricted.

It will carry your m1ssive clear up into
the subpolar regions of ASSN iboin or
down into the tropic heat of Cam
peachy. Uncle Sam is ready to have it
skated over white drifts by a dog team
or packed lazily along dusty highway
by a sweating burro driven by sleepy
peon.
Uncle Sam can afford to carry all of
your letters oheaply because he does a
wholesale business In a majority of
cases the 2 cents which you pay moro
than covers the actual cost of transpor-
tation. But suppose you send letter to
Bill Slicer, who has gone up to Circle
City, Alaska, to seek his fortune. AS
far as Juneau Uncle Sam has but little
difficulty in carrying out the contract
which the sale of the little red stamp
implies, but at Juneau his troubles be-
gin. The mail route from there to Cir
Gle City is numbered rs, 1O5, and it is
probably one of the most difficult routes
in our postal system. If you don't think
so, Just read this matter of fact report
by the mail carrier on that route. He
describes his last journey from Circle
City to Juneau as follows:
I left Circle City Sept. IA Our party poled
mp the river from Circle City to Dawson 500
miles, in IL days hours From Dawson we
poled up to McCormack's Post, about 265
miles, arriving there Sunday, Oct. "a We
were compelled to lie over at Sixty Mile Post
for five days. At McCormack's we abandoned
our boats and started overland on what is
known as the Dalton trail, about 800 miles to
Chilzat, where we arrived safely after 25 days
travelling through two to three feet Of snow
over mountain trail. We started with Il
horses, and they were all dead before we got
half way. I hope that this brief outline will
be of some assistance and would be pleased to
be at your service for any information in my
power.
To have a man pIod through three
feet Of snow for 25 days at a time, pole
a boat for 600 miles up stream along ice
elogged rivers, drive - unfortunate
horses to death and brave the terrors of
Chilkat pass-that's what you paid for
when you bought your 2 cent stamp.
On this particular trip the plucky
mail carrier came through all right.
He may not be so lucky next time. a
mail carrier in Montana persisted the
other day while on his route. It was
not an unusual occurrence. Every spring
and fall the man who carried the mail
from Cheboygan, Mich, across the
straits to Mackinac Island used to risk
his life on each trip. He crossed in a
double ended saiIboat and fought his
way through ne1dS OF HoaI1ng Ice. ID
the winter before the ice broke up he
used a dog team and sledge, and the
mail is still carried from Mackinao to
the mainland by the same method. DR..
Sheldon Jackson now proposes to carry
mail over Chilkat pass and into Dawson
City by reindeer teams. His plan may
be adopted.
There are many routes, especially in
the western states, which are covered
during the winter months only at the
imminent peril of the carriers. The red
Indian no longer lies in ambush for the
