burse his bondsmen when he had been per-

ti REPRESENTATIVE MILLER
How He Would Have the Tqrfn Re-
YiaeA.

aj Representative Miller; a republican MEM
ber of the House from Kansas, holds de-
cided views on the tariff question. While
he does not think that there should be any
attempted revision at this time, he does
believe that such a revision should be un-
dertaken in the near future and that this
work should be done by the republican
party. y
This revision ought to be along the line
of reduction, continued Mr.. Miller. 1.-The
general industries of our country should
continue to be protected; at the same time
provision should be- made for the DISPOSE
tion of our surplus production, which is in
creasing in volume each year.
Il am in favor at this time of reciprocity
treaties with all countries where we can
get opportunities to market our products.
l am decidedly opposed to having to pay
more for. goods at home, and which are
made at home, than the same goods by the
same makers sell for abroad, and there are
many evidences that this is the case.
Il am In favor of any Legislation that
will keep the trusts of this country from
robbing our people as they are doing to-
day" - -
Mr.. Miller would have the Nicaragua
canal provided for,s as well as a Pacific ca
BILE. He will vote for the continuation Of
the Chinese exclusion act, and is opposed
to the importation Of all foreign laNorers
who come here to compete with American
labor. Legislation against anarchy will
also receive Mr.. Millers support.

Decision on Mileage Between New
York and Porto Rico.
The controller of the treasury was re-
Gently requested by the lighthouse board
for his decision as to whether an officer OF
the navy serving under the lighthouse
board is entitled to mileage at the rate of
eight cents per mile or to actual travelling
expenses when travelling upon public busi-
ness between New York and San Juan,
Porto Rico. The controller calls at
tentien-to the laws regarding mileage, stat
ing where travel is from point to point
within the United States the official shall
be paid at the rate Of eight cents per mile
but that outside of the limits Of the
United States in North America" actual
expenses only shall be paid. The controller
holds that the travel suggested is travel
outside Of the limits of the United States
In North America" for which actual ex-
penses only shall be paid.

AMERICAN BASE BALL LEAGUE.

Annual Meeting I'm Chicago VIII
Probably Last Two Days.
CHICAGO, December 2.-The annual meet
ing Of the American Base Ball League be-
gan here today. 1t was said before the
meeting began that the magnates would
probably be in session two days, and that
there would be little done that the public
had not been informed Of previously. The
formal transfer of the Milwaukee club to
st. Louis will be the chief matter Of busi-
ness transacted. The allotment of various
players signed during raids on the National
League will occupy considerable time and
1t is possible that President Ban johnson
will give out the makeup of the various
clubs for next season.

DISCRETIONARY POWER.
Capt. Perry of the Iowa Given 1t
the Isthmus,

the Isthmus.
It has been decided to leave Capt Perry
OF the battle ship Iowa. the senior Amer
lean naval officer on the isthmus, full dis
cretionary power as to the withdraw wal Of his
forces. From the four American warships
at Panama and Colon about 400 men have
been landed to take care Of the property Of
the Panama railway and to maintain COM
munacation. With the surrender of Colon
last week the necessity for maintaining
this large naval force ashore disappeared
and the question remaining to be settled
was whether any United States guard at
all should be allowed to remain. Capt
Perry has asked for instructions on that
poins' ana the Navy Department has de-
cfded to let him act according to circum-
stances.

NAVAL OBSERVATORY,
Opposition to Placing 1t Under Civil
ian Control.

OVpUsItIOn 10 FIHcIhE II Under CfV1I-
ian Control.
There are indications that Secretary
Longs plan for the transfer Of the Naval
Observatory to civilian control will meet
with considerable opposition in Congress
Captain Davis, the naval officer now serv-
Ing as superintendent of the observatory
does not believe that the best interests Of
the service will be subserved by such trans
fer. 1t is said that he will make a vigor-
Gus report in opposition to the report of the
board of visitors on that subject. He favors
a continuance of the present system of
naval control of the institution, and ii is
said that he is supported in that view by
most of the officers of the line of the navy
