NEW BALLOT Law VENTED.
West Virginia Voters Dissatisfied

with the Australian System.
WHEELING, ". Va, Nov--17--West
Virginia is preparing TO adopt new
election law. The Australian ballot has
been fully tested IN this Szate. and has
been found wanting. Through a number
Of recounts demanded in districts where
the percentage Of Iiteracy IS extremely
large. 1t has been found that hundreds
OF voters deposited ballots 50 improperly
marked that the state authorities are
amazed.
In this city in one Of the best districts
of the county. a recount was demanded
on two minor Offices fair percen.aga
OF the ballots we're found TO convey no
reasonable expression OF the intentions OF
The. voters. West Virginia vetsd on five
state tickets, and the ballot was over
three feet in length. The booths we're ;oo
narrow by a foot or more. and the result
was the voters were cramped for room IN
which properly to mark their ballots.
Data is now beng collected fer the
foundation OF a new election law which

General Burlington, Chief Of Ordnance

ing. a complete official denial of any com
pIicity. on his part, in the disclosures to
the press which charged Captain Lewis. OF
General Miles staff with having stolen
the plans Of the new French field gun from
the French War Office. The document was
transmitted TO General Miles and by him at
once taken to the President
The action Of General Burlington closes
the Incident and practically ends what
threatened at one time to involve the War
Department and the Army in one OF the
ugIiest scandals on record in American
military history. It also shuts of any fur
ther proceedings against General Bufifg-
ter
When General Miles appeared at the
White House he was ushered at once into
the waiting room, but it was some time
| before he was received by the President
Since his fight with Adjutant General
Corbin assumed such serious proportions
General Miles has seldom been seen at
| the White House. The Adjutant General
is in very close touch nowadays with
Mr.. Mckinley. He is at the railway sta
ton on every occasion when the Presi-
dent leaves or returns TO town. and is
frequent caller at the White House In
consequence. General Miles has beea seen
very little at the Executive Mansion.
General Miles was with the President
only for short time today When he left
the White House he declined TO say any
! thing except that much that was untrIe
had been printed about the dispute over
The French gun.
It is understood that one Of General
Miles purposes this morning was to IRE
sent to the President his plan for the re-
| organization OF the Army. The Command
( ing General is not in harmony with the
plan proposed by Adjutant General Cor
biz. The latter wants an army Of 106,-
600 nen. with an additional force Of 10000
added TO the artillery arm, which would
make 126, GOO all told.
General Miles favors his original pro-
posa1 to have one soldier t. every thou
sand of population, which would give an
army of IS 1000 men. He also, however,
believes that the artillery arm should be
re-euforced, but suggests only about Il. 600
men as the proper artillery force. That
| would make an army OF $4,000, all told. 1t
is believed that The President in his mes
sage VIII favor the Corbin plan rather
than General Miles proposition.

van Wyck, issued yesterday at me per-
sonaI demand OF Bishop Potter, and issue
instructions to the various commanders
to shut up the evil resorts in their pre-

One of the sensational overnight de-
velopments is the admission of Bernard
]. York, President Of the Police Board,
that police corruption is responsible for
the immoral condition Of affairs existing
in tnis city.
The police captains. he says, are ac-
eou1tabIe. Mr.. York does not alone ac-
ssase the commanders of the force, but
makes grave insinuations against his own
Board of Commissioners He says per-
haps men Oh the force have been asked
to do wrong and led to understand II they
did not protect places they would get the
worst of it. There have been transfers
because men would not do such bidding.
Such things. says the president, ARE
