 General Algers or Not.

Washington, December 30.-General Nell son A Miles is not prepared to make any formal statement in reply to the published article of former Secretary Alger regard ing the use of canned beef and embalmed beef during and after the Spanish war He is still undecided as to whether he will have any statement to make, saying in reply to questions on the subject that he has not yet fully determined what Lis course will be.

Notwithstanding the fact that he was not expected to live, it is claimed the deck was washed down as usu- all the stream of water being turned on and the floor scrubbed, while the young man lay raving and dying in his hammock. He died before midnight. It is further al- legged that he had no medical attention; that the food furnished the seamen was unfit for a dog to eat; that there was no heat on the berth deck and that the hatchways were open, exposing the men, including the sick ones, to cold dFaughts.

Wants Arizona Admitted.

New York, December Ex-Governor Nat O. Murphy of Arizona is at the Holland House, and will go to Washington Tuesday to continue his efforts to have that terri tory admitted as a state. We have a hard fight on our hands, he said today, "but we propose keeping it up until success crwos our efforts. Our people want self government and the robe of statehood We believe 1t entirely wrong for a people to be taxed directly without representation. We are tired of territorial vassalage.
 Arizona has a population of more than 122. 900, having increased over 100 per cent in the last decade. We have more people and more money than twenty-three of the states had when they were admitted"

Christ Church at Avondale Con-
 Secrated by Bishop BarnweIl
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES
Another House of Worship Added to the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. Eloquent Sermon Preached from
 Text in Genesis, 28-16.

Christ Church a Avondale was dedicated yesterday with imposing ceremonies. Rt. Rev. R. W. Barnwell, bishop of the Episco- pal Diocese of Alabama, offieiated assisted by Rev Owen P Fitzsimons and Rev J. J. Harris The ceremonies commenced with the presentation to the bishop of the instruments of donation. These were re- ceived by the bishop sitting within the chancel. After this the sentence of conse- cration was read by Rev. Owen P. Fitzsim- ons, after which came the regular con secration service.
 Bishop Barnwell preached an eloquent sermon, his text being Surely the Lord is in this place and l knew 1t not Genesis, 2Sth chapter, 18th verse. The bishop spoke of the omnipresence of God, saying that God was not only In the church and wher- ever two or three may be gathered to- gether in his name but was everywhere. He had appeared to Moses in a burning bush in the wilderness, had spoken to another in the whirIwind and appeared to the apos- ties in tongues of flame. Man, said the bishop has not sufficient intelligence to understand God and it was foolish to deny his existence. Gods plan was so vast that no one man could comprehend 1t. As well might private soldier in the ranks pretend to understand the plan of his general, who knew the position of the enemy and had information that the private soldier could not have.
 The bishop spoke of the dedication of the church and explained how the church be- came the property of the diocese and could not be controlled by any one to the preju- dIce of any other members of the congrega- tion.

 The road was formerly closely allied to the Central of Georgia, and when that road failed the Louisville and Nashville, which had always held a big interest in the At lanta and West Point, acquired control of the latter property. Lately, however, this ownership has been divided, so that the Louisville and Nashville and the Att lantic Coast Line are now equal owners of the Atlanta and West Point"

WE MIGHT RETALTATE.

The Boise Statesman and CALDWELL
TRIBUNE have locked horns over the
attitude of President Mckinley on the
Porto Rican tariff bill. WhiIO both
papers are controlled by Senator Shonp.
yet occasionally the editor OF She States
man, than whom no abler man Rlls all
editorial chair in Idaho, will assert
himself and give the public an article
direct from the heart. Of the other
well, when you work for pay, you must
do as the boss dictates.
We clip the foregoing from a
neat, ably edited. fair-minded
paper published at Albion, Idaho,
called the Times. We are quite
well acquainted with Mr.. Marks,
the editor and publisher, and
know him to be an upright and
high-minded. gentleman. We do
not believe that any amount of
money or other valuables could
induce him to write and publish a
sentence which does not come,
pure as limpid water, fresh from
the heart. He charges on THE
TRIBUNE absolute subserviency to
bossism, and publishes to the
world that we are the trucking
tool-hired prostitute-of Senator
Shoup. That is Mr.. Marks priv,
ilegc, and we have no disposition
to criticise him for freely exercis-
ing it. If so disposed, we might
retaliate by intimating that all his
life, prior to his purchase of the
Albion Times, he was reputed a
Republican; that the purchase
was made from Governor Steun-
enberg's brother; that ever since
he has been "a malignant Demo-
crat, and from these facts, we
could draw such deductions as
malice, seasoned with resentment,
might suggest. But we. cannot
perceive that an attack on Mr..
Marks integrity would be any
vindication of our own. How
ever, we charitably hope that his
attempted defamation of THE
TRIBUNE will cause the Times to
shine with a steadier and nobler
brilliancy. We hope that now he
has put upon US the brand OF
prostitution, the insignia of virtue
will adorn his brow, and that
when he meditates, his conscience
will approvingly say, l have
weaved me a wreath of chastity
from the scandals spun for my
fellowmen.
