MAY RELIEVE GEN. MILES,
Commanding General May BE Court
MNrtfnlel and Dismissed

81
Washington, Jan. 2O.-There is serious
talk in administration circles as to the
adVlsability of court martiaIing Maj. Cen
Miles. or relieving him from duty as COM
handing general of the army.
1t is manifest that the president and
Secretary Alger are not yet done with
Gen. Miles, and that it is proposed to take
action of some kind against him. but
what it's character will be will depend
largely on the developments of the Eagan
trial and the report of the war investiga-
ton commission.
The administration is incensed at Gen
Miles because of the tenacity with which
he continued the beef investigation. not
withstanding that the war commission
found as a result CT its investigation that
the beef furnished to the army was good
and had not undergone chemical treat
ment.
The beef packers and members of con-
gress are stiffening the backbone of the
administration by use of their influence,
and it would not surprise friends of Gen.
Miles if the matter should eliminate in
his relief or court martial.
The administration also has not forgiy-
en- the general for the interview he gave
upon his return from Porto Rico, and
should he be court martialed this may be
matter of charges.

In recent report to the State De-
partment Consul Monaghan, at Chem
nitz, says that there is every reason to
believe that the trip which Prince
Henry of Germany is taking is far be-
yond the operating sphere of a naval
commander. The object, says the con-
sui, is the extension of German COM
merce into the districts of the
Amur and Usuri rivers. The consul
tells what an extensive effort has been
made by the Germans, through trading
and shipping companies operating
from Hamburg, to establish active
agencies all over the section Of Siberia
opened up by the new railroads, and
in this they have already displaced In
large measure the merchants of France
and Belgium. Concluding, the consul
says that it is possible for the United
States manufacturer, if the right kind
of an effort is made, to get good deal
of Russia's trade.

Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, who found
his wife on this side of the water,
knows "a hundred reasons why Eng
land and America should be friends,
and none why they should be other
wise" Why may not the same formu-
la apply to all the nations of the
earth? Unless there has been false
ring in OUR Christmas songs and
note of insincerity in every prayer
that the Kingdom may come, we must
desire the universal reign of peace
and goodwill"

M. Tissot, the French painter OF the
remarkable pictures of the life OF
Christ, now on exhibition in this coun-
try, was so years old when he under
took his real life work. Leaving Paris,
where he was famous as a painter of
fashionable life, he spent ten years in
Palestine, where he studied every as
pect of ruin, nature and humanity,
that he might catch the spirit and the
environment of Him he wished to
trace. His success emphasizes Capt.
Mahan's ironical remark that mans
opportunities are hardly over at So.
Lord Dufferin, at the age Of 70, has
recently set about the acquisition OIL

According to Washington CORE
snondents it will be the policy of the
United States government to take care
of all of the soldiers in the Cuban
army. If they want wages they will
be given employment upon the public
works. If they prefer to remain in
the army they will be organized into
rural police, the intention being to
keep them together and prevent them
from scattering idly like tramps
throughout the country. Wherever
they are willing to accept outside en-
ployment they will be encouraged to
do so, and it is believed the revival OF
industry will cause an increase in the
price of labor that will tempt mary OF
them to return to the farms and fac
tories. In each of the provinces, how
ever. there will be an organization OF
rural police similar to that in Mexico,
to keep order in the country, suppress
outlawry and relieve the military gar
risons as much as possible. This is
not entirely necessary, but it is con-
sidered expedient, because it will neu-
tralize the influence of the agitators
and reconcile the rank and file Of the
Cuban army to the new order OF

pality will be to grade all these outlying
districts up to the level of the central
city in the accommodations and protec-
tions of modern municipal life. That the
towns themselves should be made to pay
in part for this new development would
be only fair, and it certainly would be
outrageous if Jersey City should be asked
to assume any part of the debt, for which
there Is no palpable product in existence.
Mr.. Dear's and Mr.. Corcoran's idea that
the various sections of the new city
should be financed separately, at least as
regards already existing liabilities, is the
right one, It. has been successfully real
ized in other places, and the plan may
easily be accomplished here. Methods
can no doubt be devised by which the
differences will gradually disappear as
old liabilities are cancelled, and while
the cities start off with unified police,
fire, school and general executive SYSTEM
they may be brought to financial equality
and unifcation, say in ten or in twenty
years.
