MILES ADVOCATES HIS BILL.
General Appears Before House CommIs-
sion On Military Affairs.

General Appears Before House Com,nIs-
sion On Military Affairs.
Major General Miles appeared Mon
day before the house commission on
military affairs for hearing relative
to the proposed reorganization and
increase of the army.
Two bills for this purpose are pend
ing, one drawn by General Miles and
introduced in the senate as the Haw-
ley bill, and another introduced in the
house by Chairman Hull, Of the mill
tary committee.
AT the outset General Miles ad-
dressed himself to the general need of
increasing the army without reference
to either bill. He said he had always
favored the establishment of q fixed
standard for the army. The expe-
rience OF the last year, he said, had
demonstrated that our present military
establishment was Inadequate to main
GehT position as n iirst-class power.

required to give two years service to
the state after he has graduated.
After all is said that can be said
abont any system of education the
great part and the good part must be
done by the parent Mt home. The
training of the heart must go along
with that of the mind. 1 saw two
boys fighting on the street the other
day. 1t was willing Eight and they
had laid their schoolbooks carefully
down by the fence. They had been
down on the ground some time before
/ got to them and my presence did
not deter them. 1t was hard fight
and the bottom boy finally got out
his knife, but Mt my earnest protest
they separated, and went to their
homes. 1 wondered if there was no
book in their school that taught them
1T was wrong to fight, or if their pa
rents had told them, as some parents
do, to take no insult or abuse from
anybody. But I learned afterwards
that these were not bad or vicious
boys, and were popular with their
schoolmates, and then I remembered
that had hard fight myself when a
schoolboy and my father whipped me
for it and my mother cried about it,
and when father went away comfort
ed mother by telling her that licked
him and made him holler. Precept is
good, but example is stronger, and 1
was always proud that my father
whipped bully who rode into his
store and cursed him.
Well, the children must all have n
fair start in schooling, and if they
can't get it in the old fashioned way
we old folks must full into line with
the new, tax or no tax. But I want
the demagogues to hush. They mako
me tired. BILL ARP, i'll Atlanta Con-

attaches of the American commits
sion.
TO the Americans it was a happy
ending of the epilogue of war; for the
Spaniards it was plainly n bitter trag-
cdy, none the less painful because
long forcsccn. They sat silently as
though almost crushed, and none
could withhold sympathy from Senior
Montero Rios, the president of the
Spanish commission. who. coming
from his bed, was bundled in n great
overcoat, though logs were burning in
the misplace nearby.
Parchment Work Was SLOW
Although the commissions met Mt
3:3O o'clock, expecting to finish their
work in half an hour, the engrossing
OF the treaty on parchment was found
to be so troublesome that it DELAYED
the signing of the document until 500.
Clerk Martin, of the American COM
mission, worked all day without even
stopping to eat. When he came into
the chamber at 1880 with the docu-
ment he found the commissioners
waiting. The Spanish copy had ar
rived half hour earlier. Mr.. Arthur
Ferguson then proceeded to read first
the English and after that the Spanish
version of the treaty. This finished.
two copies were passed around the
table, the commissioners signing them

\ San Fran, ,isco dispatch SAYS: The

'Pricea of wines have been steadily
