Columbus, O., June 23.-It was dis

the Repu b1ican~ state committee had
been entered by thieves and several
desks broken open and ranSacked. Lead

A day of prayer for the project will

NILES OPINION OF THE SITUA-
TON.

General Miles has never uttered a
word to anyone which would probably
reach the ears of the public, but it is
well known to his intimate friends that
from the beginning of the trouble in the
Philippines he has had a better mental
grasp of the gravity of the conditions
there than anyone who has been con-
nected with the management of the
campaign either here or in the Philip
pines. To these friends, at the firing of
the first gun, he declared that a trouble
some war was apparently begun, and
that unless it could be crushed with one
tremendous initial effort it would prob
ably go on for years.
His theory was that every available
vessel should at once be started for the
islands with all the men and supplies
they could carry; that prOdigious eff
fort should be made to prevent any
addition to the arms and ammunition
of the natives, and to reach at once the
internal source of supply and cut that
off once and for all.
At all cost" was the reiterated remark
of Miles to his friends, the war should
be substantially ended before the begin
ming of the rainy season. If not, there
is no guessing the end AS the Car of
Russia said at the time of the war in
Crimea, General Fever is my most pow
erful ally So the time will soon come,
if the uprising be not crushed at once,
when General Fever will be vastly more
murderous among our troops than Aguin-
aldo can ever be-

REDUCED MILES TO A FIGURE
HEAD.

Many of his most important sugges-
lions were set at naught, and del1ber-
ate attempt was made to render him a
ridiculous figurehead instead of passing
over to him the military control of az
fairs which rightfully belonged to him.
Then came the end of the war and the
scandals in regard to ratiOns, when
again a desperate attempt was made to
show that Miles was a prevaricating
mischief maker, and that his word, and
that of others like Major Daily, who
agreed with him, were worthy of no Gre
dence whatever.
The popular sympathy was so gen.
orally with Miles, however, that further
humiliation and suppression were nee
essary, and therefore came the as
founding and unparelled spectacle of
a bitter warfare in progress for long
months without the presence on the
field or within limits of communication
of the supreme officer of the army All
operations were and have been directed
from the war department and the White
House and there has been no evidence
of the existence of commanding gen
era1.
General Miles, a veteran Indian fight
er, an officer used to the tricks of desert
and jungle fighting, would have been
the ideal warrior for planning and exc
cutting the now deplorable campaign in
the Philippines. At least, that is the
opinion of nine out of ten of the mill
tary men who are to be found here at
this time. They assert also that Otis
is one among the least qualified for the
position he holds, and that he has had
little conception of the magnitude of his
task

washington Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.]
The disagreeable conditions surround
ing the war in the Philippines on ac-
count of the sicl1ly season and the I'M
usual activity of the native army have
led to a prodigious increase of unfaV-
orable comment upon the treatment OF
General Miles by the president and the
department of war. Not only in army
circles, but among all classes OF civil
ians here are heard criticisms of the
conduct of the war, and the discussion
always touches upon the point of the
complete obliteration of General Miles
as a factor in the tragic proceeding.
Gradually the details of the whole
matter are coming to the surface, and
they round out a story of jealousy and
suppression which began with the Gu
ban war and which will end no one
knows where.
1t will be remembered that at the out
set of the war in Cuba General Miles
desired to go to the front at once IN
person, but that he was detained in the
United States on one pretext or another,
his advice ignored and effort made con-
stantly to minimize his Importance in
the eyes of the country and of the sold
iery.

Herring CAN'T Be HELD.
Impossible for a Father to Kid
nap His Own Child.
RULING BY JUDGE LINDSAY
The Father Took the Child to Ranch
in Park County and Refused to
Return It to thu
Mother.

Judge Lindsay yesterday made a de-
cision to the effect that a person could
not be held on a charge of kidnapping
his own child. The ruling was made
in divorce case in which the parties
to it seem to be uncertain as to their
own names. The suit is entitled Lena
Ella Herring, or Herne, against Philip
Herring. or Herne" The parties are,
or formerly We're, performers on the
vaudeville stage, but have not lived
together for some time. A few weeks
ago Mrs. Herring, OF Herne, brought a
suit for divorce and for the custody
of their child, boy, who had been
under her control and in her custody
ever since her separation from her
husband. A restraining order was is
sued to prevent the defendant from in
terfering with the boy, but before the
order could be served on Herring, or
Herne. he had picked up the child on
the street one day and took him to his
home on ranch near Fridley, Mont.
"A warrant was issued for his arrest
on the charge of kidnapping and on
Monday he was brought back from
Fridley. Yesterday Mrs. Herring made
an affidavit upon which her attorney,
Charles Mattison, asked the court to
punish Herring for contempt. The af-
fdavit alleged that the plaintiff, up to
the time of the commencement of the
action and the issuance of the restrain
ing order for the custody of the child,
and for two days thereafter, was
was in peaceable possession and con-
troll of the child. Afterwards, on Jan.
2, while the child was in the care and
custody of the plaintiff, the defendant.
contrary to the provisions Of the re-
straining order, forcibly and stealthily,
and without the knowledge and con-
sent of the plaintiff, took and kidnapped
and carried away the child from the
plaintiff, and after secreting him and
himself hiding and concealing away
to avoid the service of process and or
der of the court, the defendant car
ried away and took the child to a place
near the town of Fridey, in Park
county, where he now conceals and de-
tains the child and refuses to obey the
order of the court or to surrender and
deliver the child to the plaintiff or al
low him to remain in the plaintiff S
custody during the pending of the ac
ton. but is taking such steps and
means as he can devise to prevent the
plaintiff from again regaining custody
of the child. The child is very young
and much attached to the plaintiff, his
mother. and had always been in her
care and received her motherly atten-
ton, and requires a mothers care and
will suffer if deprived of it. Mrs.
Herring further said that she believed
her husband would remove the child
beyond the jurisdiction of the court
unless the restraining order was enforc-
ed. She said that if the child is re-

BOTH ROADS RESPONSIBLE
Coroner's Investigation of the
Death of Joseph Grant.
EVIDENCE IN THE CASE
The Jury Returns a Verdict to the Effect
That Carelessness Was Displayed
by Both the Short Line and
the Northern Pacific.

The inquest on the body Of Joseph
Grant, who was killed in the train
wreck on the Montana Union Sunday
morning, begun before Coroner Julien
and a jury the day before, was COM
pleted yesterday. There was more ev-
idence of carelessness on the part Of
both the Northern Pacific and the Ore
gon Short Line, and the jury so found,
holding both companies responsible for
the accident which cost Conductor
Grant his life. .
When the inquest was resumed al
o'clock in the afternoon, S. L. Willis,
scale clerk at the Butte Reduction
works. was called. He said the switch
engine came to the yards at 40 Sun
day morning. Riley had promise I'D to
be there 10 minutes earlier. Witness
gave him his instructions. The york
had commenced. Two cars had been
set out the main line and a car
of coal had been kicked in on the sid
ing. The engine pulled ahead a little,
and just then the witness heard a
versed and was fairly moving back
when the crash came. Witness seeing
collision was inevitable, ran into
the assay office. fearing an explosion.
Before he reached the rear of the
building the engines collded. Witness
then came out and assisted in remov-
ing Conductor Grant from under the
tank and carrying him to the assay Of
flee. DIR. Campbell was called. He
found the mans left leg completely
severed at the body and said Grant
could not live more than an hour. Wit
ness said when he first saw the freight
it was $50 or 800 feet away from the
switch engine. He had heard no whis-
tie from the freight, which he judged
was running % miles an hour. 1t was
certainly going at a very high rate
of speed. 1t was but a very few sec
onds from the time witness saw the
freight till the crash came. Witness
did not warn the engineer of the
switch engine when he saw the freight
but it would not have served to avoid
an accident, as the siding was not long
enough to have allowed the switch
engine to back up and give the freight
room to stop. 1t was a little smoky
that morning, but the crews should
have been able to see one anutherS

John b. Seaman, acting yard master
of the old Montana Union, said he took
charge of the yard the day before the
accident, but had worked in the yards
about seven years. During that time
he had frequently acted as yardmas-
ter. HIS duties in this capacity were
to look after all work being done in the
yard, giving direction to switching
crews. A crew should be composed of
