WHEELER WAS SNUBBED.
Left Out of the Parade of Veterans at
Charleston.

Left Out of the Parade of Veterans at
Charleston.
A special OF Saturday from Charles
ton, S. c., says: The fact that General
Joseph Wheeler was snubbed in
Charleston, because he was an officer
of the United States army, has fur
nished another sensation as closing
climax to the convention Of the United
Confederate Veterans.
In the great confederate parade
thousands of people lined the streets
and screamed and yelled for Wheeler,
but the long procession moved by With
the little fighting hero missing. The
city has just come to realize the situa-
ton. General G. I. Walker, the COM
mander of the state division, is held
responsible for this most disgraceful
proceeding.
In the list which he gave to the COM
mittee of guests who were to ride IL
the procession the name of General
Wheeler was not included. Two lists,
in fact, we're made by Walker, and
neither of them mentioned General
Wheeler. Walkers only excuse is
that he forgot Wheeler, notwithstand'
ing he was the main guest of the con
yention.
General Walker has made himsel
conspicuous by his bitterness at thu
convention. He refused Friday nigh
to preside at the auditorium because
Col. Henry L. Turner, Of Chicago, wa
among the speakers. 1t Is publicl,
said in Charleston that he, with a fey
others, intended all along to leav
General Wheeler out of the parade be
cause he would overshadow the rest
General Wheeler was visibly affecte
by his treatment. The better elemen
in the city has publicly condemne
Walker.

Further Particulars Of the Fearful wreck
On Reading Road.


On Reading Road.
Later dispatches from Reading, Pa,
state that the wreck which occurred
Friday night on the Philadelphia and
Reading railway at Exeter, was prob
ably the worst that has ever occurred
in the state. Twenty light dead and
fifty injured, and many Of them may
not recover, is the awful result OF the
disaster.
The cause Of the disaster is still in
volved in mystery and officials Of the
road are investigating in order to
place the blame. The man in the sig
nal tower at Exeter claims to have had
the signals properly displayed.
In statement Saturday General
Swiger, of the Reading railway, said
the principal cause of the accident was
block of freight cars on the track,
which were taking a siding at Birds
boro, and which compelled the express
to stop at Exeter 1t is not known as
yet whether a signal man was sent
back to notify the special or second
section.
The express from Williamsport,
known as train No. - and also as the
Cannon Ball, usually leaves Read
ing for Philadelphia at $3.50 p m.
Tt did not leave on time Friday
night, due to waiting on Harrisburg
connections. travel from Harrisburg
was heavy, owing to the large number
people who attended the Hartranf
monument unwilling ceremonies. A
special train was brought into requis
ton to accommodate the crowds. A
Exeter the first train stopped brief.
for orders and just started when tn
special crashed into it.
Many prominent men were passen
gers on the forward train, among ther
Senator Boles Penrose, Colonel Henri
d. Paxon, Of Philadelphia; GenerG
John w. Schall, of Norristown an
Colonel George Schall, the general
brother, who was killed. On the SCI
ond train were some twenty veteran
of Hartranft'g Fifty-frst regimen
; which he commanded in the civil wa

few of whom were injured.

Brooke VIII Now Act On His
Own Authority.

A special from Havana says: Cen
eral Maxine Gomez informed Gov
ernor General Brooke Monday that he
could no longer act as representative
of the Cuban army in the distribution
of the SO, 900, 600 appropriated for the
payment of the Cnban troops.
General Gomez added that he had
arrived at this decision with great re-
luctance and with the most friendly
feelings toward General Brooke per-
sonally and officially, but he felt he
could no longer represent the Cuban
army because cabal composed of
many subordinate commanders ex-
listed to oppose and, if possible, defeat
the plans for partitioning the money.
He explained that former members
of the Cuban military assembly, led
by Mayla Rodriguez, Manuel Sanguil-
ly. Juan Gaulberto and other malcon-
tents, had organized majority OF the
officers against him apparently, and
though he Gomez might persist and
possibly carry the payment to a sue
cessful conclusion, he was Disguised
and wished to wash his hands of the
whole business. Therefore he thought
best to leave General Brooke free, as
the latter could act with equal effec-
tivepess.
General Brooke expressed sympathy
with General Gomez and said he re-
GREETED the position he had taken. 1t
was then mutually agreed that General
Gomez will issue a manifesto to the
{ Cuban army. Afterward General

The London Telegraph has produced
> Sunday edition. 1t is the first of

this be the result of the recent closer
communion between England and
America. We have been told that
seyages when brought into contact
with civilization rapidly acquire it's
vices; but testimony to the reverse
tendency is imperfect. Certainly the
rule is that the older civilization cor

The farmer labored for many cen
turtles without machinery, and the
patent system was instituted for the
purpose among others) Of supplying
him with machinery, says writer in
the Scientific American. Almost i'm
mediately after the enactment of our
patent laws, agricultural machinery
began to be invented and improved,
and as this progress has continued
and has STEADILY increased, it is clear
that the patent system is the cause of
the existence Of the farmer machinery
and, through it, of his ofluence Most
of these inventions would not have
been made if it had not been for the
protection Of the patent laws To
bring an invention from the general
idea in the inventors mind to the
practical, durable salable form Otter
requires the expenditure Of years o
effort and thousands of dollars before
any returns are had; SO that it is safe
to say that very few would expen(
their energies and resources if it were
not for the inducements offered by oul
patent system.

MILES AND ALGER.

There is considerable discussion in the
eastern press over the contemplated
courtniartial of General Miles.
His exposure of putrid supplies fur
nished the army and. incidentally. the
still more putrid condition of the war
department, has brought upon the head
Of this veteran officer the Indignation
of a whole flock OF vultures who prey
upon the government and roost upon
official limbs on the tree Of the admin
istration.
General Miles declared that enbalmed
beef was being furnished his men with
the result Of suffering and death. The
whitewash ccmmittee had no chance
to pigeonhcle his charges. For ne gave
full permission to their publication. He
wanted n real investigation. He want
ed the people to know the truth. They
had right to know it.
General Niles was not talking at ran
dom. He had seen the beef. had SMELL
ed it, had seen men grow deathly sick
from eating it. had been informed by
the army physician that it was the
beef that caused the sickness, had
caused some OF the stuff to be analysed
ard had fled the report of the chemist
with the commission.
His charges We're all plainly made
and supported by quotations, them
selves most horrifying. from mass of
testimony which he has collected in
the form of official reports from COM
4 r,F Lott .sf-
davits from others.
It was utterly impossible to read his
testimony and the corroborative evil
dence he read without a growing feel
ing Of indignation against the depart
rlent chiefs and the administration
chiefs who not only permitted the gov
ernEneat to be swindled by contractors,
TIE soldiers poisoned by chemicals. and
the officers assailed who demanded bet
ter treatment for their men, but actu-
ally tried to cover up the infany.
Some sycophants took up the coward
" cry that a great industry was being
threatened by the suspicious created
against it. 1t ought to be threatened
into keeping its contracts whether at
home or abroad General Miles is not
to be censured for protecting his army
from the ravages Of the meat conces-
sionaries no matter how many EaGans
the exposure sets to cursing or how
many Ayers it starts upon errands Of
revenge.
The attempts of Alger to threaten
General Miles with courtmartial or hu-
initiation makes the danger of an in
creased army under the present head
Of the war department all the more ap-
parent.
