MILES WANTS PEACE.

t WASHINGTON. March 15.- k General Nelson A. Miles spoke
 k at the annual banquet of the E Second Army Corps here to- x night. He sad in part:
 * NO nation has eyer had so E much to say against war, against { the maintenance of large army, x or against anything that might k lead us into open conflict. And < no nation had so much to say x in favor of peace and arbitra-
 k tion. No people are so anxious
 E to maintain peace at home and < abroad as the American people. We would not enter into any E conflict without just provocation E or righteous cause. We are E slow to take up our arms, but < when the time does come, I < trust we would not be found { slumbering. I hope there will be no war. I, soldier, trust { that if there is war, there will < be no Bull Run to begin with, { but an Appomattox. We will be { prepared, so that the conflict will { be short, sharp and decisive"

males, one-half of whom were constant
" away at sea; leaving population of
only 1000 men at home, at the most lib
eral calculation. At times there were as
many as 5000 soldiers quartered in the
town. idle, revelling in cheaper liquor
than they had ever known before, re-
cruited from the lowest classes of the
kingdom, and prone to quarrel with the
inhabitants. Such a spectacle was ride
ulous to the people of Boston. They had
never seen the like of it, nor had their
fathers before them; for when the inn
migrants left England, there was no
standing army. The people nicknamed
he,redcoats "lobster-backs" made sport
of them, and determined that they must
not be allowed to stay Here was the
origin of the hatred of the troops, and
when the soldiers were billeted upon the
inhabitants, and when they killed a cit
izen from time to time in quarrel, the
feeling grew into evaporation. The
Boston mob said Mr.. Hale, was held
in the hand of Sam Adams. 1t went just
as far as he desired it should and no
farther. The real wonder is that it did
not go to greater lengths. In all these
years it never caused the death of a
man, woman or child, though it was the
terror of the British government
Mr.. Hale gave an intensely interesting
account of the march from Boston to
Lexington, the battle Of Bunker Hill,
and the short expedition preceding these
events to the old powder-house in Som
erville. This enterprise caused the
minute men throughout the state to
move one days march nearer Boston.
The account was embellished with anec-
dotes which had been related to Mr..
Hale personally; and all were told in
that capital style of the raconteur, of
which Mr. Hale is a master He himself
could remember when traces of the cir
cles made by Lord Percy's tents during
the winter encampment on Boston COM
mon, were still visible along the line
now marked by the asphalt walk that
leads from West street to the Provi-
dence depot
There was a large map to show the
routes taken by Col. Smiths troops
April 10, 1775, and of the reinforcements
sent out with Lord Percy, of the col
umn that attacked Bunker Hill, and the
lines of Qualifications thrown up by the
British and subsequently by the Ameri-
cans under Washington, who thereby
compelled the evacuation of Boston In
speaking of the secret" expedition
against Concord and Lexington, Mr..
Hale said there was no need for the wife
of Gen. Gage (who was a pretty New
Yorker, to betray her husband and in
form the Americans, for the townsfolk
who boarded the soldiers were told of it
by the soldiers themselves, though the
destination of the expedition was un-
known. The stereopticon showed Vari-
Gus points of interest in old Boston, and
certain landmarks that are still stand
ing, among them the house near the old
North Christ Church, where NAL Pin
cairn is supposed to have died after the
battle of Bunker Hill.

OLD BOSTON.
Its Aspects in Period of Concord
Lexington and Bunker Hill.
Rev. Or. E. E. Hale Delivers the Third in
His Series Of Lectures to a Large
Audience in Salisbury Hall.

! Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale's third
lecture on old Boston, Wednesday even
ing, was even more interesting than it's
predecessors; and Salisbury Hall was
well filled. This time DR.. Hale dealt
with the period of Concord, Lexington
and Bunker Hill. The series will be
finished Saturday when Mr. Hale will
speak of the churches and schools of
| old Boston. The lecture will begin at
4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. Hale went back 15O years. for a
retrospect, to show the independence of
Boston people, an independence that
was frequently characterized by AFRO
| gance. Four events were cited to show
this independence. There was the talk
ing of Louisburg in 1745. accomplished
by Massachusetts troops and financed
by the Massachusetts colony under the
direction of Gov Shirley, without even
consulting the king. The next year,
Louis XIV of France sent over squad
ron of 80 sail to capture or destroy
Boston out of revenge. So secretly was
the fleet equipped that the British gov
ernment got no wind of it till after it
was well on its voyage, and nothing was
done by the British to protect or warn
the colony. A fisherman sighted the
fleet near Halifax, and brought the
news to Boston, and the colonial train
bands were summoned to defend the
city. Happily, this, the largest naval
expedition ever sent from Europe to
America, was destroyed by fierce
storm off Nova Scotia, so that only
three or four shattered vessels were
able to make their way back to France.
The story is told very literally in Long
hnh hCI IN.
Mr.. Hale had the pleasure of finding the
writing on which it is based, and of
furnishing it to the poet 1t is interest
ing to note that when Gov Shirley be-
gan MS secret preparations for war
he closed up the newspaper offices in
order that no news of it should get
abroad.
In the succeeding year, 1747, in an
swer to petition for reimbursement
for the expenses of the war the British
king sent over 100000 which was car
ried in procession from the ship, and
placed in vault which had to be built
expressly for it. This was the founda-
tion OF the metallic currency of the col
ony, and replaced the paper cur
rency which had given the colony SO
much trouble 1t was an object lesson
in hard money that Massachusetts has
never forgotten. Finally in 1749 when

respects exercised the functions of
