 TALK WITH GENERAL MILES.
Well Satisfied With Defenses Around
 New York

We'll Satisfied With Defenses Around
 New York.
 New York, March 17.-Major Gener- al Nelson A. Miles returned to Wash ington to-day by the 10 o'clock train on the Pennsylvania railroad. Before leaving General Miles was asked what he thought concerning the war situa- tion. General Miles replied reflective ly:
 Tt is very hard to foretell just what will happen. Matters look very seri- ous, but his country is prepared for any emergency"
 General Miles said further:
 My inspection of the Notifications and defences in this vicinity, as well as on other parts of the coast, has proved entirely satisfactory. We have the fin est personnel of army men of any in the world. Many of these men have had four years hard experience on the frontier. If trouble comes it is not a question of men and patriotism, but a question of supplying the proper en- zines of war.
 "The machinery that has been turn ing out the steel for twenty story buildings is rapidly being utilized now to manufacture cannon, rifles and other war equipment"

The same venerable author states that an egg laid on St. Patrick's day will bring luck to the possessor, if kept.
 "This Is the centennial year, and Irishmen all over the world will return to motherland to commemorate the deeds of heroism and valor of their an- cestors in the struggles for liberty and independence in 179S. Those deeds are so fresh and green in the memory of their descendants as they were in the day and time when they were enacted. Whatever the loyalty and devotion of Irishmen in America to the land of their adoption, which has been tried and never found wanting, they can never forget the motherland, the place where their ancestors were born and where they are buried. Let us all hope that the day is not far distant when the hopes and prayers of Irelands sons in 179S and 1898 may be answered, and that the little green isle beyond the sea may enjoy the same privileges that there exiled sons and daughters are granted in the land of the free, and that the epitaph of Robert Emmet may be written in letters of living fire as a watch tower for other peoples and other lands to follow in the footsteps of the greatest republic on Gods foot stool, and the best government ever 'vouchsafed by God and man..

St. Patrick's day and night seemed to give people an irrepressible desire to crowd into the Wonderland theater.

THREATENS TO SHOOT.
Mrs. BOyce Produces Revolver and
Orders Constable Away.


Orders Constable Away.
The trouble between Mrs. Isaac D. Boyce
of No. 1925 F street northwest and the law
in reference to the possession of the resi-
dence portion of that building came near
having a tragical ending yesterday after
noon.
Shortly after 9 o'clock Constable B. F.
Edwards, who had been given a writ of
restitution to execute by Justice Van Dyke,
called on Mrs. Boyce for the purpose of
taking possession for the owner. Mr.. Ed
wards was accompanied by an assistant.
AS soon as Mr.. Edwards stated the object
of his visit, Mrs. Boyce defied him to pro-
ceed, and sent friend who was present for
some men to eject both Mr.. Edwards and
his assistant
The constable then also sent for addition
al aid, and during his absence Mrs. Boyce
ran to a bureau drawer, it is said where
she procured 3S-caliber revolver, each
chamber of which was loaded. She is al
legged to have pointed the pistol at Mr.. Ed
wards, who was but few feet away, and
ordered him off the premises. The latter
grappled with the woman and succeeded in
getting control of the weapon, which he
now has. In the struggle Mrs. Boyce' S
hand was slightly hurt.
Mrs. Boyce told the contable that to get
her out of the building he would have to
carry her. Edwards answered that that
was not necessary, but he could put her
things out in the street.
After a consultation with her attorney
who had meanwhile arrived, Mrs. Boyce
surrendered to the constable, and watch
man, who is still on duty, was put in
charge.
