In England many demonstrations were

addresses were presented the author, and
even when the Civil War was initiated
the workingmen of England did not lend
themselves to any popular movement

in America, although this war brought
hardship to their very door.
Among the noble ladies of England
the book had many fervent admirers. 1t
is significant fact that the Queen of
England, in concurrence with Prince
Albert, steadily resisted every attempt
to enlist the war.like power of England
against the northern states. In fact, the
appearance of this work developed the
latent sentiment against slavery, and
was potent factor in enllsting men in
the ranks of those actively engaged in

A Chicago Paper Publishes u Despatch
That Threatens General Miles.
Chicago, Feb. IA dispatch from
Washington to the Inter Ocean, a strong
administration organ, says:
"Major General Nelson A. Miles will
be relieved OF command of the army and
transferred to command of depart
ment or sent to await orders. The order
went to the president late tonight, ready
for his signature, and it is predicted that
he will sign it tomorrow.
president Mckinley has been pa
tient and longsuffering with General
Miles eccentricities, but patience ceased
to be virtue in face of the generals
use Of his high position as head of the
army to defy all discipline and repeat
charges against the government in a
calm and deliberate statement with the
apparent intention of heading off the re-
port of the military commission, which
will refute all charges made by him
against the beef supplied to the army.
THE president cannot tolerate Miles
longer, since he has set about deiber-
ately to break up the army and destroy
all discipline. If Miles seeks to pose as
martyr he will be met with the report
of the military commission. which is al.
most ready. He may demand a court Of
inquiry. If be does, it will be granted.
Either Major General Merritt or Ma
jor General Brooke will be placed in
command of the army. Merritt is the
ranking officer. By placing him in com.
mand the president will show there is no
desire to cover up anything in the war
department or to place a man at the
head of the army who is particular
friend of the secretary of war. The
enemies of the administration have
made much of the former strained rela-
tions between Secretary Alger and Gen.
eral Merritt. and they cannot well criti
else the promotion of Merritt to the com.
mand."

TO WIPE OUT TUBERCULOSIS.
Determined Movement Inaugurated
Among Chicago Physicians.

Chicago, June 16.-A permanent So
ciety for crusading against tuberculo-
sis will be organized on Tuesday night
in the rooms of the Chicago Medical
society. 1t will be known as the Hi
nois Society for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis, and its membership will in
clude all physicians, city officials, vet
erinaries and others interested in the
determination of tuberculosis. The or
ganiZation Will be preliminary to a SER
les of public meetings to be held by this
and other societies.
The plans of the Chicago Veterinary
society which took the initiative in the
movement by calling a meeting for
next Wednesday, have been merged
with those of the medical society, and
the veterinarians committee of ar
rangements will assist in the organiza-
ton of Tuesday night. Local legisla-
ton for the prevention of the sale of
milk of tuberculosis cows will be the
object of the organization. In the dis
tribution of literature explaining sim
pie preventives of the spreading of
consumption, the society expects to in
terest the school teachers and the pub
lie generally. In this respect the or
ganization will be modelled after a sim
liar society organized in London under
the patronage of the Prince of Wales.

ANOTHER BOLD HoLD-UP.
Express Train In Indian Territory
Robbed By Three Men.


Kansas City, June ia special to
the Star from Mena, Ark, says:
About 2:45 o'clock this morning the
southbound passenger train No % was
held up by three masked men at a
curve about a mile south of Shady, /.
I. The engineer was signaled to stop
by red lantern, and on bringing the
train to a stop guns were leveled at
him and the fireman was commanded
to go back and cut off the express car
Then they all entered the cab of the
engine. One of them, being familiar
with the engine, ran the cars down the
track a couple of miles, where they
went through the express and mail
cars, securing considerable booty, the
exact amount of which is not known,
as the express company will not give
out the amount of its loss.
d. H. Patterson, express messenger
for Wells, Fargo & Co., will not talk, he
being under instructions from the COM
pany to say nothing. but the robbers
got all there was in the car. When
the train came to a stop Conductor Sui
Ivan paid little attention to it until
shots We're fired. SHORTLY the fireman
came back. announcing a hold-up. He
then went back TO the sleeper and con-
suited with that conductor about hid
ing their valuables, which they placed
under lot of towels under the wash
stand. 1t was about an hour before
the engine returned with the other
cars. The robbers did not go through
the passenger coaches.
The United States marshals office at
Fort Smith was notif1e0. and a posse
sent at once to the scene to take the
trail of the robbers, and it is likely that
they will be captured.

BUT LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED.
Work of the Peace Conference Is
Dragging Slowly.

The Hague, June 16.-The drafting
committee of the arbitration tribunal
scheme, which should have met today.
adjourned sitting to Monday next The
ostensible reason for the adjournment
was the absence of Baron Estiurnelles
de Constant of the French delegation,
who drew up the minutes. 1t is posi-
BILE, however. that the delegates had
not received sufficient instructions frcm
their respective governments to make
further progress.
The delegates do not regret the OPP
portunity of a few days more time to
deliberate. The difficulty now chiefly
consists in reconciling a scheme of the
other powers with the views of Ger
many, but the prospects are more
hopeful. Even if no agreement should
be reached, an arbitration organiza-
ton will. nevertheless, be arranged
and will be open to such of the powers
as are not able to sign now. In the
meantime every effort will be made to
meet the German views.
The naval section committee met to-
day and received the report of Count
Zoltk. A majority of the section will
favor the proposition of explosives in
tended to spread asphyxiating gases
and the use of rams on warships.
The questions of limiting gun calibre.
armor plates and the form of powder
remain undecided, pending the receip.
of instructions from the various gov
ernments.
The report will be submitted first to
the committee and then to the confer
ence.
