Washington Star, Monday.
"The president Is commander-in
chief of the army and my superior.
He has approved the findings of the
Wade court of inquiry. Therefore, /
have no comment to make. 1t would
he an unsoldierly act were I to do So"
With these words General Miles re-
piled to Star reporter who saw him
for a moment today with regard to the
probable action he would take in view
of the adverse report Of the court.
"Will you formulate protest to the
president?" was the next question.
II have nothing to say, sir. No,
sir" replied the general.
"Will you inspire congressional in
vestigation ?"
"No, sir. I will not talk upon the
subject"
"Do you believe congress will rectify
the matter ?"
"I do not know what congress will
do, nor have any means of knowing
in advance what verdict the result OF
an investigation might develop. l
have no comment, criticism, or state
ment to make in this matter, and you
may take it as certain that any alleged
interview or intimations to the con-
trary said to come from me are wholly
and unqualifedly false.
II was, and am now, actuated solely
by the consideration of the health,
lives and integrity of the army. My
duty is DONE"
Inquiry was made as to the status
of the officers criticised and what
course they might pursue, and it was
stated that as a military, legal propo-
sition it was impossible for any action
to be taken by any of the officers ag-
grieved. They might demand court
of inquiry, but this was court of in
quiry which recommended that no
further action be taken this being ap-
proved by the president, precluded
any further inquiry. General Eagan,
who is specified in the report, is not
likely to ask for further investigation.
Lieutenant Colonel Maus, of General
Miles's staff, the other officer criticised,
feels it keenly. His friends say he was
among the witnesses whom General
Miles asked to be called, and was not
called by the court.

AN UGLY LITTLE MANA school
inspector was examining class In
grammar and trying to elucldate the
complex relations of adjectives and
nouns, by a telling example.
"Now, for instance" said he, "what
am I?" =,
That was an easy question, and all
the children shouted: "a man !" and
then looked around triumphantly, as
much as to say: "Ask another"
ayes, but what else?" said the In
spector. -. .sou
This was not so easy; but, after a
pause, a boy ventured to suggest: "A
little man."
ayes, but there is something more
than that"
This was poser; but at last an In
FAINT phenomenon almost leaped from
his seat in his eagerness, cried:
"Please, sir, I know, sir-an ugly
little man."

The salary of the 1890 director was
$4,000. Why the new bill gives the
1900 director smaller salary for more
work is not known, says Leslie's
Weekly.
The supervisors are apportioned
among the various states and terrific.
ries, and take their orders from the
director. Each supervisor controls a
district. He separates district into
subdivisions, or blocks of 1000 persons
each, and appoints an enumerator for
each subdivision. With Hawaii, Por
to Rico and the Philippines included
in the 1900 census, 10000 enumerators
will be needed. Each enumerator Is
allowed maximum of Sc day. This
will mean about S240,000 day for 30
days, or cost of perhaps 100000
lust for the men who count the people
and apply the inquisitorial process.
The bill provides for everybody in the
census office, from the director to the
charwoman.
There is an assistant director at S4,-
600; five chief statisticians, at $4,000
each one chief clerk, at $4,000; one
stenographer, at S2,5O0; As clerks,
averaging $1,000 each; a captain Of
the watch, at $500; two messengers,
at $500 each disbursing clerk, at
81 900; and number of helpers class
ed as skilled laborers and unskilled Ia
borers, the first at s4OO and the latter
at $240 each.
The total of these figures shows that
the home Office of the census-the
headquarters-will cost about $780,
900 per annum. For the purpose OF
starting this Office congress has placed
at the disposal of the secretary OF the
interior the sum of 100000. The
whole cos. of taking the census OF
1890 was s6,4OO,O0O. The census OF
1900, however, will cost fully twice as
much-for there are more questions to
ask and more people to answer, and
a much greater area to cover.

BRAVE AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
How They Upheld Their Country's Keputa
ton In the Philippines.

ton In the Philippines.
Associated Press Dispatch, Tuesday.
Instances of personal bravery have
been quite numerous in the American
army in the Philippines as during the
Cuban campaign but the correspon-
dents have not had the opportunity 10
chronicle these deeds of daring in the
Orient. because of the thickness of the
country penetrated. Many heroic acts
were also unheard Of for days after
their occurrence.
One soldier who has we'll illustrated
the quality of the American is Captain
Charles Clay, of the Seventeenth in,
fantry. Captain Clay is native OF
Lexington, KY, and grandson OF
Henry Clay. He brought new honor
to the family name in Cuba, where,
during the hottest action on the San
tiago field, when his men were lying
behind cover for shelter from a show
er of bullets, he marched back and
forth in front of his company as erect
and cool as though on dress parade,
nor would he yield to the appeals OF
the men that he find shelter.
"The captain never forgot for Sec
ond that he was a Clay" one of them
explained.
When General Hale was assigned to
brigade in the Philippines he ap..
pointed Captain Clay to the position OF
adjutant. On the first day of Mac
Arthur's advance, Captain Clay, riding
erect as usual, received bullet
through the neck. He lay six hours in
the Jungle before he was discovered
and, as the wound was dangerous
one at the best, his life was despsired
of. His only thought when he was
brought into the hospital was that his
family should be informed that he was
but slightly injured. He is now, how
ever, we'll on the road to complete re-
covery.
Among those officers who have fall
len, no one will be longer or more 10y
ally remembered by his comrades than
Lieutenant Gregg of the Fourth infan-
try. No man in the army had more
than he to make life worth living,
friends, success in his profession, vital
ity and physical strength that made
him the impersonation of an athlete
and soldier. His fearlessness and con-
6dence in his powers contributed to
his death. In the beginning of the hot
fight at Mariquina, which General
Hale conducted with such skill that it
was worthy of more attention than
the overshadowing Importance of Mac
Arthurs's advance permitted, Gregg
was near his chief. The horse he rode
had Just been shot from under him.
He was taken off the saddle when a
man warned him that the shot had
been fred by a sharpshooter in tree
nearby. Refusing to take cover, as
most of the men were doing, the lieu
tenant stepped forward, and; standing
erect, uncased his field glasses to look
at the tree. Just as be raised them to
his eyes puff of smoke was seen in
the tree. Gregg put his hand to his
breast and fell forward, instantly killed.

WELL PREPARED. - A minister's
wife, who is not so seriously minded at
all times as her husband is, tells some
laughable stories relating to marriage
ceremonies which he performed while
thew were living in newly settled
district in the backwoods of Canada.
The minister always felt it to be bis
duty to give each young couple little
serious advice before he performed the
marriage ceremony, and for this pur'
pose he usually took them aside, one
at time, and talked very sooerly 70
each of them regarding the great i'm
portance of the step they were to take
and the new responsibilities they were
to assume.
One dav he talked in his most earn
est manner for several minutes to q
Young woman who had come to be
married. r.,
"And now," he said, in closing, u
hope you fully realize the extreme I'M
portance of the step you are taking:
and that you are prepared for it."
"Prepared ?" she said, innocently
"well, if I amt prepared, don't know now
who is. I've got four common quits
and two nice ones, and four brand-neW
feather beds, 10 sheets and ~ pairs OF
pillow slips, four linen table ciothes' a
dozen spoons, and a good six'quart
kettle. If amt prepared, no girl IN
this county ever was !"

THE SUNDAY WORLD
Discusses the Germania's Attack
Upon the Street Railway Company.

Yesterdays World published the
following:
"Unfortunate, at least, is the We
hemence of the attack upon one local
street railroad in the Akron Ger
mania, because it objected to throw
ing its entire traffic out of joint at the
very heart of both systems for the
possible benefit of the Street Fair.
Let manufacturer or merchant con-
slider what it would mean to parallel
this in his own business for week,
aud he will realize more clearly
how he would like to have happen
to him what was asked of the
street car companies. But even
though these corporations are left
out of the account, as legitimate OBJ
jects of attack, their patrons have
rights to be respected, and these the
Germania seems to have forgotten.
The man or woman who starts on a
street car have a right to the trans
portation for which they pay, and
there is no justice in compelling
them to travel quarter of a mile on
foot through the crowd so dense
that even ordinary movement is
next to impossible. The crowds
themselves, too, depend upon
the cars for getting to
and from the center of the
city. Admit all the incOn-
venience to the sightseers on the
streets, and still that does not make
it right to keep what they have paid
for from the passengers on the troll
ley lines. Still less does it give oc-
casion for such bitter expressions as
the Germania uses, SO much at var
lance with its customary geniality.
That the Akron Street Fair looked at
in large way and in true perspec-
tive was a real success, is the main
thing and for the sake of the next
trial at it, there is no wisdom in
string up strife to be remembered
and used adversely, if another un-
dertaking is attempted"
