The friends of Gen. Miles III the War
Department were enthusiastic yesterday
over what they term his victory over Sec
retary Alger and his advisers.
1t is known that more than one month
ago Gen. Miles advised the Secretary
against sending any further troops to
Cuba until the yellow fever season was
practically over. He named from Decem-
ber l to January / as the proper period
for the embarkation of the army of oc-
cupation to points in Cuba. His advice
was ''pooh-poohed" at that time by AL

GEESE ARE CLEANLY.
II They Have Plenty of Water They
Are Never Seen Except When
Fit for Dress Parade.

"a goose is the cleanest fowl alive"
says Sol Renaker, owner of farm in
Kentucky on which he keeps more than
$4,000 geese. II have been in the poul-
try business since 1881, have handled all
kinds of domestic fowl, and have
studied their habits closely and have
never seen anything which equals the
goose in cleanliness. They are con-
stantly at work keeping their feathers
clean, and if they have plenty of water
they are never seen except when fit for
dress parade. They are equally careful
regarding their food. On one occasion
We bought lot of corn which had
musted, and the geese would not eat
dough made from it, nor will they eat
dough after it has soured. On this ac-
count we have to be very careful to mix
up no more dough than the geese will
eat up in day. Another peculiar thing
about geese is that they eat great deal
more some days than they do on others.
For instance, it frequently requires 80
or 40 buckets Of dough day to a given
pen of geese. Then for few days they
will not eat more than dozen buckets.
When they have plenty of water and
wholesome food geese fatten rapidly
and have no disease, but unless they
have an opportunity to keep clean and
have pure food they die rapidly"

nrxnnites should Notice.

In the states of New York, Pennsyl-
yania, Massachusetts,, New Jersey and
Maryland, where the democrats did all
they could, as rule, to get away from
the silver question this year, they
gained 26 seats in the house of repre-
sentatives. In New York they cut re-
publican plurality of 26S, 900 in the pres
idential election down to about 10000.
In New Jersey, the reduction was from
$1,000 ito 5000, and in Massachusetts,,
where there was more talk of silver
from 173, 900 to $4,000. In Pennsylvania
the change was from 295,OOO to about
10000 at best. The opposition was di-
vided, Maryland was republican by az
900 in, 1896. This year 1t is close. If Col.
Bryan and his followers will give these
facts their earnest attention, in connec-
ton with the very different returns
from states like Kansas, Nebraska
South Dakota, Wyoming, Washington
and California. where their party stuck
to silver as the one great issue, perhaps
they may gain light enough to lead
them to give the business world rest
from initiation alarms for the next
decade esor-so.--Cleveland Leader.

A GREAT SENATE.
Against the Free Sill
- YER Heresy.

After March the republicans will
have SO of the 90 senator's, which will
leave 81 to the democrats and popnlists.
For the first time since the free coin
age Of silver became an issue because
silver bullion had fallen in price, there
will be an actual and controlling ma
jority against that heresy. 1t is quite
as important that the changes which
have made the senate surely republican
result from the fact that both senators
from the states largest in population
and richest in material resources will
be republicans. Both senators from In
diana, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Cali
fornia and Wisconsin will be repub-
licans. From the Atlantic to the Missis-
sippi river, and from the Ohio and Ma
sen and DiNon's line to the lakes, nc
state will have democratic senator
Even Maryland and West Virginia will
have two, and Delaware and Kentucky
one each of the republican faith. Mis-
souri,, Georgia and Texas will be the
only larger states that will be repre-
sented by democrats in the senate,
The opposition to the republican party
has little to hope from the group OF
| states in which senatorial vacancies oc-
cur in 1901 after the presidential elec.
tion, judging from their voting at the
late elections, as clear majority of the
30 senators to be elected that year rep
resent states which are carried by re-
publicans this year. Thus silverism
seems to be baked in the senate fol-
years to come.
During the past six or eight years
1t cannot be said that either responsible
party could claim majority. For six
teen to one there was majority, but
beyond that question no party had such
lead in the senate as to be really re
sponsible for its conduct. The impor
tant finance committee has been in the
bands of the silverites, and other lead
ing committees which shape legisla
tion have been so divided as to be with
out power. This uncertainty as to par
ties has been responsible for the dis
satisfaction of the country with the
senate. Now that the republicans will
have an assured majority of orthodox
Republicans, may not the country ex
pect to see more definite action and lesi

NEAT SHIPPING CASES.
II You Put Up Your Honey in Attrac
tive Packages II Can Be Sold
Readily.

In selling honey much depends on ap-
pearance. Extracted honey put up in
neat package is more likely to meet
with ready sale than IL put up in any
sort of style without any label. Es-
pecially does the matter of looks make
a difference in the sale of comb honey.
Remember that good part Of the diff
ference in price between comb honey
and extracted is paid for the nicer looks
of the former, and If you pack your
comb honey in any sort of box that
happens TO be at hand it may make a
difference of two, three or four cents a
pound
Shipping cases for honey are made
that are especially adapted to the pur-
pose. Not only are they convenient in
shape and size for packing and ship
ping, but they show off the honey to
good advantage when placed on the

tendency seems to be rather toward the
12-section case. A 12-section case that
is a compromise in appearance between
the two cases in the picture is very pop
ular. In it three sections are in sight,
there being four rows of three sections

coed s2sO,OOO,OOO.
Washington, Nov. 25.--In his annual
report George E. Roberts, the director
of the mint, says: 1.-THE most important
events of the fiscal year in the world
of government finance have been the
consummation of the long planned re-
sumption of specie payments by Russia
in gold, the reorganization OF the
monetary system of Japan with gold
as the standard, and the refusal of the
government of India to cooperate
with the governments of the United
States and France in an effort to estab-
lish bimetallism by international
agreement.
"fhe gold coinage of the world in
1897 was the largest ever recorded,
amounting in value to $4S7, ,719, S42,
against $195, 500, SIT in 1896. Of the for
mer sum S146, ,622, 1914 was recoinage
and approximately Ss91, O97, 14S is net
addition to the stock of gold coins.
The principal coinage was by the Uni
ted States, England, Russia, Germany,
Austria-H Hungary, France and Japan.
The extraordinary coinage of the year
is accounted for by the preparations OF
Russia, Austria-Hungary and Japan
for their monetary reforms" Mr..
Roberts makes a lengthy argument in
favor of the gold standard and then
says:
"Great as was the worlds production
Of gold in 1897, amounting to the value
Of $2S7, ,5O4, 800, and exceeding that of
1895 by $34, 1872, 500, it is certain that
the product of 1898 will be still greater.
The returns from South Africa for ten
months show that at the present rate
Of production its yield will exceed the
yield of 1897 by $21, $4,000 The re-
turns from Australia indicate that its
product in 1898 will exceed the product
Of 1897 by $40, 1885, 900. From July Is
last to November Is the receipts OF
gold at Seattle and San Francisco from
the Canadian Yukon aggregate over
H0, ,0O0 900, and ON this basis the in
creased production for Canada in 1895
is estimated at So, 500, 900. The increase
IN the United States can hardly fall
below S5,OOO,O 900. The total of these
estimates is $45, ,6S7, 900, which, added
10 the figures of 1897, would indicate a
worlds product in 1898 of $2sS, 172, 800,
f the remaining countries in their
aggregate are unchanged.
'"The product of 1891, $3.50, 900, 00O
will be more than doubled and the
combined value of the gold and silver
product ten years ago exceeded by gold
alone. Stocks Of gold in sight in Eu
:opean banks and government treas
uries from December, 1892, to Decem
Der, 1897, increased about $3.50, 600, 900
Or over 40 per cent. The stock of golt
in the United States increased in the
five years SOS, 457, 900. The increase il
;he holdings of the banks of Austria

about SIS, 900, 900. Total gold thus &C

ISSUES OF 1000.
what Form of OppOsitiOn the Dem
ocrats VIII Advocate Is Hard
to Determine.

The suggestion comes from Ohio, and
is said to be indorsed by Senator Hanna,
that national expansion rather than
free silver is likely to be the issue in
1900 Isn't it little early to be fore
casting the next presidential race,
either as to candidates, platforms or re-
suits? We are making important his
tory rapidly. and it was never more true
than now that no man can tell what a
day, or year, may bring forth.
Free silver has undoubtedly received
heavy blow. The changes in the west
are extraordinary, and are 10 be as
cribed to that issue alone. In 1896 the
silver men controlled the senate. They
therefore had but to secure the house
and the presidency in the campaign OF
that year to write their issue into law.
1t will be different in 1900. The senate
then will contain an anti-silver ma
jority. So that immediate success
would not be in sight even with the
house and the presidency won for sill
yer. This. and the change Of sentiment
in the west, must have its effect in 1900.
But one should hesitate to dig the grave
and provide the ceremonies for silver
yet awhile.
But. counting silver out, what form
will the issue of national expansion
take in 1900? The expectation now is
that the peace commission will make
a treaty providing for the conquered
Spanish territory in time to be sub
mitted to the senate at its coming ses-
sion. Reasonably prompt action there
| ought to follow. The matter is one that
cannot with safety be allowed to re-
main too long unsettled. At farthest,
it is not likely to remain open longer
than early spring. And when the treaty
is ratified the issue of national expan-
sion as now understood and accepted
will be closed. We shall then be in pos
session of Porto Rico, Hawaii. Guam
and the Philippines in our own right,
and of Cuba as trustee for the people of
that island. That will represent the
policy of national expansion. What is
sue can be made on that year later?
Who will seek power on proposition
to undo it all and return to the main
land?
AS matters are going it is far cry
to 1900 Sound money and national ex'
pansion seem safe enough, and the pres
ident is one of the most popular men
ever installed in that exalted office. But
what form the opposition will take, OF
who is likely to lead it, may rot with
ease be determined now.-Washington

SOLDIERS RACE WAR.
HOstilities Break Out Retween White
and Black Troops Camped Near an
Alabama TOWn-Street Battles.

Alabama TOwn-Street Battles.
Admission, Ala, Nov. 25.-Members OF
the Third Alabama, a negro regiment,
caused the greatest excitement last
night that this town has ever known.
Shortly after dark Private Gildhart, of
the Second Arkansas, while returning
to camp from town was shot in the
head by a negro soldier who also
stabbed him in the back, Gildhart was
taken to the regimental hospital. A
little later a member of the Fourth
Kentucky is reported to have been shot
on Walnut street by negro soldiers who
lay in gully, shooting at the white
men who passed.
Firing was heard in Liberia, the
negro quarter of the city, which is not
far from Walnut street, and squad OF
the provost guard went to investigate.
AS it turned the corner of Fifteenth
and Pine streets large crowd Of
negro soldiers opened fire upon the
guard with Springfelds, the gun in
use in the regiment. The guard re-
turned the fire, but had few cartridges
and had to retreat. When reinforce.
ments and ammunition were secured
the negroes had disappeared.
In the engagement Sergeant Dodson,
Third Tennessee, was shot in the arm
and Private Graham, Third Tennessee,
| in the stomach. Two members of the
provost guard are missing. When news
of the trouble became known white
soldiers who were in the city gathered
around the provost guard headquarters
and begged for guns and ammunition,
but were refused. Citizens armed
themselves and repaired to the scene
of the battle. Several negro soldiers,
one with Springfield which had just
been fred, were arrested and locked
up, though it was with difficulty that
| the infuriated white soldiers and citi-
zens were prevented from wreaking
summary vengeance upon them. Arm
ories of the two local military compa-
nies were broken into and every gun
and cartridge appropriated.
Gen. Colby, commanding the Second
brigade, brought in two companies
each of the Third Tennessee and Sec
ond Arkansas. They secured the city
and carried all soldiers not on duty
back to camp. A member of the Fourth
Wisconsin is said to have been shot,
but the report cannot be verified, One
negro soldier while under arrest was
shot in the arm by citizen.
A negro soldier was dangerously
beaten up by some white soldiers dur
ing the afternoon and this incident il
supposed to have caused the riotou'
actions on the part of the negroes.
One negro soldier has been brought
in dead and another fatally wounded
