was found unconscious in his room with the
gas flowing freely from the jet. Reed had
come to this city to see United States
senator elected. Other people in the house
said that when he retired the night before
no must have blown out the gas. He did not
appear at the breakfast hour and some one
passing his door smeled gas. The door
was forced open. Dr. Carter was called and
restored the Orange county man and told
him that if he had remained in the room a
few minutes longer he would never again
have been troubled with gas jets.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, July l7TH, 1899.
Because the law under which Gen.
Nelson A. Miles has been Acting Sec
rotary of War, in the absence Of the
Secretary and the Assistant Secretary,
was put on the Statute books Il long
time ago, there is disposition to re-
gard the occurrence as without signlti-
canoe. AS matter of fact, it was very
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of a very radical
change in the relation between Gen.
Miles and the administration. or Of an
attempt to trap Miles into attempting
to make some use of his temporary au-
thority that would make trouble for
him. A little thought will convince
most persons of this fact The law is
an old one, directing the General com
handing the Army to become acting
Secretary of War during the absence Of
the Secretary and the Assistant Secre-
tary from Washington, but does any
body suppose that while Gen. Miles
was publicly criticislng the acts Of the
War Department, and Secretary Alger
was scheming to find some plausible
way Of deposing Miles from the COM
mand of the Army, that anything could
have induced the Secretary and AsSis-
tant Secretary to have absented them
selves at once, even for single day?
Their doing SO now was for a purpose,
even if that purpose is unknown. 1t is
said that no papers, requiring the sigma
ture Of the Secretary, were carried to
Gen. Miles while he was acting Secre-
tary-in short, while he was legally the
Acting Secretary, steps had been taken
in advance, which prevented his per-
forming any duties pertaining to that
position. If a trap was set for Cen
eral Miles, he was wise enough to avoid
being caught. He was prepared to per-
form any dnties brought before him,
but he did not seek to make duties.
Senator Scott, Of W. Va, who has
lately returned from an extended trip
on the Pacific slope, summarized his
impression Of public sentiment in that
section thusly; "The advocacy OF ex-
pansion is not confined to any party
