~ NE OF THE best known
4 Washington correspondents,
~ Mr.. Wellman, has explained
the reason for the refusal
Of the house military committee TO
consider at this time the army reor-
ganization bill. He says It Is the re-
suit Of quarrel between General
Miles ana the officers Of the ordnance
bureau. Miles wanted nxed gun car
riages; tho ordnance ofFicers favored
the disappearing type Of carriage. In
stead OF arguing the matter In a re-
spectful manner, the ordnance people
proceeded to accuse Miles OF Improper
motives, and followed that up by
El0t king the progress OF the army bill,
which included clause for MileS pro-
motion. According to Hr. wellman,
The ordnance department is In many
ways the most powerful bureau OF the
war establishment. Through the ar
serals, gun factories and other plants
under its control II is able to be OF
great service to members OF the house
military committee, and Mr. Wsllman
very pointedly intimates that when
the ordnance officers decreed that the
army bin must be held up as q stroke
IN their warfare on Miles, neither the
secretary Of war nov the president OF
the United States was influential
enough TO offset their strength.

An error often made Is the assertion that un-
cleanly representations on the stage mako more
money than those that are pure. Louise Leslie
Carter has had n ruusing income from "HaIa, "
but Maud Adams has drawn a larger income from
"Ths Little Minister" Minnie hadern Fiske has
filed her purse with "Rscky Sharp" but Viola
Allen has hulgcd bigger one with 1.-THE Chris.
tian" Olga Nethersole has not enriched herself
as much with "Sapho' as Julia Narlowe has
with "Barhara Frietche." Lille Langtry Is
enumerated less with "The Degeneratos' than
Annie Russell IS with MISS Hobbs" For each
nasty play that made profit in New York last
season there were twenty una'sailable ones that
made as much or more. Immodcsty that is good
art pays in the thea:cr. Modesty under the same
conditions PAYS better.
