Cnrncgic,s virtual Retirement,

The fact that Andrew Carnegie Is OPP
posed to the trust idea is given as the
reason why he will sell out his inter-
ests to his partners and retire from
business. Consequently the pertners
have arranged to purchase Mr.. Carne-
gie's interests for the sum OF hundred
millions. This will take from active
life the great iron and steel king who
has been SO conspicuous figure in the
development Of the great industry In
and about Pittsburgh. and who has
contributed so much to the prosperity
Of that great centre. 1t Is stated by
a New York dispatch that "Mr. Car
nesie's conservative Ideas were regard
ed as a restraint upon the development
of the Carnegie company along more
modern lines"
1t Is yet IN doubt whether the COM
pany will become the head OF the pro-
posed combine OF all the Industrial
trusts. but the reorganization Of the
Carnegie company, consolidating five
separate concerns IN the pittsburgh dis
trict, is fact. While it may be that
the manufacturing world will lose Mr..
Carnegie as IN active personal factor.

interests with which his name is con-

The Register. in nn attempt to reply
to the Intelligencer's editorial of Fri
day concerning the fact that deaths
from diseases In camp In times Of war
generally outnumbcr very largely the
deaths In battle, misrepresents the ar
ticle enough to use the following ex-
prcssions:
|, Another favorite argument OF the Algcr-
ian press Is TO point out that most OF our
army In the Spanish war were volunteers
all unused to the dread privauons OF
war. coming Us they did right from the
comforts OF home. most OF them being I'm.
used TO rouEhing 1t, etc. etc. etc The To-
cal Algerian organ goes at this rate for
half column or so, and shows conclu-
sive1y that II was all the volunteers fault
for be!rg SO .'unseasoned. "Jetc, etc. But
granting the facts. We're not our troops In
the civil war also chiefly volunteers?
We're not they. also. right from the
comforts at home" ''unseasoned," etc,
Had our neighbor been at all fair
It would have quoted the IntellIgencer's
article to show that It's question was
entirely unnecessary. for that precise
point was made. We did not suppose
that even the Register would ignore the
fact that the whole basis OF the Intelll-
gencer's article was that particular
point. and that there was no reflection
on the bravery and splendid service of
our, volunteer soldiers. The statement
was made that in all our wars, on ac-
count OF the small regular army the
country has maintained, It has been
necessary to quickly raise our greatest
fighting forces from civil life. The vast
majority have been young men fresh
from home. unused to the structures of
camp life, and inexperienced In the
health requirements in camps OF great
bodies Of men. Until they became SO,
and well disciplined In the observance
of the rules of health, under such cir
cumstances, the mortality Of the camps
has been very large. 1t was no more
the case last year than II was in the
civil war, when the percentage OF
deaths in camps was inrgrr in the first
year than It was during the entire
struggle between this country and
Spain. g.'g
The Register is doubtless aware that
there was about as much complaint
from q certain class OF stay-at-homcs
from ISSI-'S5 as there was In the war
OF 1898. The Register might glance over
It's own files. and the files of other
papers. md read In history. also. to

They are nedged in without ammunl-

his wonderful memory and his knowl-

made an appointment with gentleman
to dictate a brief sketch of the supreme

rarely forget anything that read or
hear. can remember conversations
almost verbatim that took place thirty
or forty years ago" Mr.. Depew con-
tlnued in this strain for some minutes
and then squared himself to commence
his promised dictation.
The first chief justice of the supreme
court, he began. and then after pause
of full minute, he added: by the
way, who was the first chief justice OF
the, supreme court? His name has es-
capped me for the, moment His lis
tener was unable to supply the desired
Information upon the spur of the mo-
ment. and he suggested going to the
shelves Of Mr.. Depew's wonderful ref
erence library. This was done. A
full half hour was spent in fruitless
search for some book containing his
tory OF the supreme court. Mr.. Depew
laughed.
1T Is very strange" he said. ut Is

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING. MAY 8, 1900. !


81 by order or the President the publi-
! cation of the report and findings OF the
military court appointed to investigate
the charges made by General Miles con-
corning the beef supplied to the army
during the war with Spain is made this
morning. The main features of 1t ap-
pear in the Washington dispatches, and
VIII be read with interest. because OF
the fact that the court censures General
Miles for error in failing to notify the
war department when he first formed
his opinion regarding the beef. In order
that immediate steps toward remedy
might be taken; there are also CEN
sures OF Commissary General Egan and
other responsible parties. The finding
OF the court is that the charge that the
beef was treated with chemicals is not
established.
Ky There are many charges of neglect
in connection with the handling of the
beef, and the Important conclusion is
that the canned roast beef was not suit
able for transports: that the refrig-
Grated beef is a suitable ration, but that
the canned beef Is less desirable. The
evidence shows that the meat pur-
chasd for the army was the meat of
commerce. and is the same that Is con-
sumed by the trade and in use by the
United States navy and by the armies
and navies of Europe.
So much for the beef. The point Of
the report is the censure of the off,
GERS. as detailed In the dispatches. and
the fixing, in some instances, of the re-
sponsibility for bad handling and for
the enormous purchase of six millions
OF pounds of canned beef by the COM
missary general when little use had
been made Of 1t In the regular army,
and the volunteers We're ignorant OF 1t,
his action being characterized as reck-
less. because the beef was untried.
What the effect OF the publication of
the report will be remains to be seen.
The court Of inquiry seems to have
made a most thorough investigation,
and based its deductions on matters as
1t found them. The President has APP
proved the finding and what course he
will take with regard to the parties af-
fected by the report will be awaited
with no small interest. The court,
while making suggestions that will be
OF future value, does not recommend
any action to be taken in the cases of
the officers mentioned.
