The New York Tribune" says:


Laws have already been passed N
several States requiring the use or
wide tires on heavy wagons on the
common highway. 1t has been pro-
posed 10 combine with that plan pro-
vision that the rear axle shall be SIX
| or seven inches longer than the front
one The hind wheels would then
run i'll different track from the front
ones and a smoothing effect upon
the road would be produced. The scheme
has merit.
That is not novel; it is an old-time
suggestion. More than that, it has
been carried into effect without aid OF
law in a good many parts of the coun-
try. On some large farms in the
West the vehicles are all mounted at
ter that order, which are used only on
the farm Obviously, however, I'M

fare badly on public roads where the
tracking of both sets of wheels is The
same CT most vehicles. 1t would be
an excellent thing if non-trackinS
could be the uniform way of treating
all wagons for road use. With two
inch tires to each wheel, it will be seen
that eight inches of roller is provided
to pass over the roadway and prevent
its cutting up, While at the same time

1T WAS PLANNED.

McKislsy Did Not want Weodford to
Present the Ultimatum.
Washington. May s.-General WOOD
ford. United States minister to Spain.
arrived in Washington tonight from
New York. He went almost directly
to the white house. where he was
given a most cordial reception by the
president. the entire Hispano-Ameri-
can situation being informally and
thoroughly discussed. General Wood
ford declined to be interviewed on the
subject.
II was learned tonight that the ad-
ministration had a purpose in trans
hitting to General Woodford the uIti-
matum Of the United States Il Spain
in open English instead of In the state
department cipher, which II usually
employed in cable correspondence in
diplomatic Representatives. It was ex-
pected by the president that the mes
sage to Woodford would be laid be-
fore the sagasta ministry before II
was delivered to General Woodford,
and in n he was not incorrect. as
events proved. The message was de-
layed many hours IN delivery, and
Minister Woodford afterward learned
that the ultimatum had been In the
hands Of Sagasta and had been con-
sidered by the cabinet long before he
learned hat 1t had arrived.
Thus ii was that the Spanish gov
eminent was enabled to give him his
passports before he had an opportu.
nifty to deliver the ultimatum formally
to the Madrid government. The fact
hat the ultimatum was not prese I .ed
to the Spanish government was e
tirely satisfactory to the administra.
ton. as it was in accordance with the
expectations of the president.

for a standing army In time Of peace
had been provided by s%taeute: nor did
the common law give the sovereign
power to control his troops. Indeed.
there had been no standing army be-
fore the restoration of Charles III. Soon
after the restoration. an act Of parlia-
ment was passed in which It was de-
clared that ''the sole and supreme
power, government. command. and dis
position OF the militia, and of all forces

of England ever was. the undoubted
right OF his majesty: and In 1862
Charles ii. issued certain articles OF
war. not extending to capital punish
ment, for the government Of his guards
and earrisons. Notwithstanding this,
the power of the sovereign to exercise
military penal control over his troops
in England In time Of peace. by virtue
OF the prerogative. was not recognized
and. therefore, when. under William
and Mary. the standing army became
an established part Of the political sys-
tenn. It became necessary TO provide
for it's government. This was done by
the mutiny act OF 1ss9-at first In a
very imperfect way. but subsequently
from year to year. more thoroughly
until hat system was formed which we
took from England.
