COMMANDING
GENERAL
Of the United States Army
Goes Through Ell Paso
WHAT GEN. MILES THINKS
About the Future of Fl. B1lsS-The
Strategic Importance of FL paSo
The War in the Far East.

Mayor General Nelson A. Miles,
commanding general of the United
States army, spent twenty minutes
in Ell Paso last evening between G. 81.
and s. P. trains. The general came in
a special car, the 400" of the Chicago
accompanied by his wife and Sdaugh-
ter, Miss Davis and his private secreta-
ry.
He has been on an extended trip of
inspection throughout the northwest
and along the Pacific coast, investigat-
ing thoroughly the condition of the
various army posts. The general
stopped over in Tucson Sunday and
was deliberately entertained
A comparatively small crowd met
him at the Ell Paso citation, few of
hoped that he would stop over and in
spect Fit. Bliss, but he declared that
too little time was left to permit of
an extended stay here.
In regard to the possible enlarge
ment of Fit. Bliss to post of full re-
giment magnitude the general
said:
Undoubtedly an enlargement of the
post there will be made, since under
stand and the war department fully
understands, the strategic Importance
of Ell Paso and its wonderful advantage
as the only feasible base of supply
within 800 miles.
Sat present all our army is either
out of the countrysor going out and it IL
therefore insdvisable to consider in
the slightest degree the extension of
posts now when we have no men to
garrison them.
'There can be no doubt, though, of
the ultimate establishment of an army
post and supply depot of the frat class
in Ell PasO.
''As to the Philippine war, 1 can,
because of my official position, give no
opinion, and from a diplomatic view
point am equally stopped from discus
sing the Transvaal and the trouble
there.
However, 1 can say that the latest
news from Manila seem most encour-
aging, and the end of the insurrection
can be safely predicted"
General Miles goes on to Galveston
and New Orleans and the east and will
not pay San Antonio q visit as has been
anticipated.

The PhiIanthropic Scotchman
Has Aided Public Libra
ries In Many Cities.
lat HEAVY EXPENSE
He Recently Agreed to Donate
$4,000 to Houston and S25,
900 to Tucson For Library
Purposes and Will Probably
Assist FL PaSO.

1t is evidently within the power oil
| the Public Library association of this
city to secure the cooperation OF
Andrew Carnegie in erecting a hand
some library building, provided the
city will do its share toward maintain
ing the institution and providing a
site for it.
Mr.. Carnegie, the philanthropic
Scotchman, has donated money to
many cities, both in the United States
and Scotland, to establish public
libraries and has invariably assisted
every city that has evidenced a will
ingness to assist itself.
The women of Ell Paso interested in
the pu blic library have been working
on the project for some time, and it is
more than prob BILE that their efforts
will be crowned with success.
Recently Mr.. Carnegie offered to do
nate $50, 900 for a public library in
Houston and $25 900 for a similar in
stitution in Tucson. Both propositions
are coupled with the provision that
each city would provide site for the
building and set aside certain amount
per annum to maintain the free insti-
ton.

The SuudoW.

The sundew is one Of the most Gu
rious plants in natures great collec-
ton Of queer things. If an unlucky
fly lights on one of it's leaves that leaf
closes right up, wrapping tightly
around Mr.. Fly and staying closed for
days until he is all eaten up. A bit.
of meat or some of the white Of an
egg dropped on the leaves will make
them do the same thing. But the
queerest thing of all is that these
leaves will pay no attention to peb-
BILE or a chip of wood that may be
dropped on them, and will not close
up at all. If a moment later a little
worm should drop on one of these
same leaves it would curl shut at once.
Now, how does this plant know what
is good to eat and what is not?

TROUBLE IN WIlES FAMILY
CoLoRED PEOPLE ENGAGE IN A
SCRAP.
Mrs. Wiles Welded a Billiard Cue
and Doctor Was Needed to Mend
Mr.. Wiles' Scalp.

There was excitement among the coll
ored population last night. MIR. and
Mrs. Jim Wiles, who manage the COL
building on State street, had a serious
clash of arms about IL o'clock. When
officer Hempel tried to learn about the
matter he received no satisfaction
whatever. He was not permitted to go
into the Wiles' home above the club.
In fact, there was very Industrious
endeavor to keep the matter quiet.
The trouble. as understood by the
colored persons who know something
of it, began on Franklin avenue. Mrs.
Wiles. or, as she is better known. Emma
Hatfield. found her spouse in front OF
the Star grocery on the avenue. Be
lieving that he had gone down there to
fiirt with other ladies of color. she at
tackled him in a rage of jealousy. But
no one was injured in this part of the
fracas.
The two went home together. In the
clubrooms the row began again, and il
is said that Mrs. Wiles knocked her
husband down. and when he got up she
struck him over the head with bill
lard cue, laying open his scalp and
telling him to the floor. A doctor was
called and Wiles, being carried upstairs
to bed. his wounds were patched up.
How serious his injuries is unknown,
for no one could secure admission TO
the place last night.
Mr.. wiles amt here said voice,
in response to a knock on the door,

''She amt here neither" was the re-
ply. and no further answers could be

Judge Higley then proceeded to quote
the eulosies of General Alger delivered
by General Merritt. The report was not
favorably received and was the cause
of somewhat animated discussion ac-
companied by the Introduction of sew
Graz uncomplimentary resolutions.
President Roosevelt presented a reso-
tuition that had been referred to the
general meeting by the board of COVER
nors, which in part was as follows:

IT WAS M'PARTLAND'S FIGHT
HE GETS THE DECISION OVER
SPIKE SULLIVAN.
Twenty-Five Rounds of Fast and Flu
rious Slugging-The Contest Was
Replete With Sensations.

New York, May 23.-After twdenty-
five rounds of fast and vicious fighting
at the Lenox Athletic club tonight Kid
Mcfarland was given the decision
over Spike Sullivan.
Going into the fight on the short end
of the betting. Mcfarland completely
upset the calculations of the sports. He
bested his man at every point of the
, game and administered to him the most
severe punishment that he has ever
/ received in his pugilistic career.
! While the margin between the show
/ ing made by the two men was very
wide, there were several times during
/ the contest when Mcfarland was on
! dangerous ground. Despite the terrible
! punishment which he received, Sullivan
showed remarkable recuperative pow
ers and otter came back surprisingly
strong. The men fought as if they had
( a erudge. Each had reached point in
his pugilistic career where victory was
very dear to him and they fought hard
and viciously for it.
1t was a contest replete with sensa-
tions and the large crowd that filed
the auditorium of the club house was
on its feet yelling half a dozen times.
Mcfarland was big favorite with the
crowd and they cheered him on to vic
tory with a partisanship that was Of
ten unfair.
The men fought under Queensbury
rules, with the understanding that each
must protect himself in the breakaway,
and as a result, the referee worked al
most as hard as the principals. The
men clinched repeatedly and constant
~ sought to hit in the clinches. Sulli-
van seemed to keep his elbow up close
to McPartland's mouth, and MOZART
land often had the appearance of hit
ting his man while holding him. The
referee was kept dancing around and
between the men throughout the con-
test and it was only by the greatest
care on his part that the men were
kept from making their fouls more
palpable.
Mcfarland won the fight by the use
of his wonderful left arm. 1t was SER
viceable from every conceivable posi-
ton and often after planting il straight
from the shoulder, he would withdraw
il and whip 1t in at close range. While
he was not at all times the. pace
maker, he seemed always anxious TO
get to his man.
Sullivan on the other hand demon
strated in the earlier rounds of the
fight, that he was going to end the
contest with one punch from his right |
He swung it, crossed it and hooked
with it, but either failed to land with il
or it was Intellectual. Later in the fight |
he brought his left into use and twice |
it came near winning him the contest |
Sullivan was terribly punished. His |
face was badly cut and he had Jumps |
over both of his eyes. Mcfarland, on |
the other hand. showed very little pun
and come unmarked and COM |
fresh from the ring. Sui |
Ivan attempted to claim the fight on |
foul in the tenth. He asserted that he |
had been struck in the abdomen. His |
claim was disallowed and disproved by |
the activity he displayed a few mo-
mentS later.

WHEAT IN POOR CONDITION.
Bad Showing Made In the Western

Chicago, May 23.-The Farmers Re-
view tomorrow will publish a review Of
winter wheat prospects. compiled from
information received from over 100 COR
respondents in Kansas. Nebraska. Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indi-
ana, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky.
The reports in the main show the
winter wheat to be in rather poor cor
dition. Especially is this true of the
western edge of the winter wheat belt.
In Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois
and Wisconsin. where the snow cover
ing during last winter was very de-
ficient, much of the rather limited area
of winter wheat sown was killed. The
fields that survived the winter have,
however shown up well.
In the more southern states, including
Missouri. Kentucky and Ohio. the pros
poets are more encouraging. In Mis-
souri, the condition is described as good
in the central and southern portions of
the state. but poor in the north. Ohio
makes the most favorable showing of
all, three-fifths of the correspondents
reporting the condition as good to
very good,' and a majority of the rest
