DETROIT. Mich. June 2S.-'I am one Of

the evils of taxation in this country are
cured. the day that all classes of men pay
the same rate Of taxation. Is the day that
this country will be able to control these
nonolOlies.'

MOUNTS FOR. ENGINEERS.
Gen. Gillespie's Recommendation to
the Secretary of War.


the Secretary of War.
If recommendation made by General
Gillespie. the chief Of engineers is adopted
an innovation will shortly be introduced
into the military service Of the United
States. That is the mounting of members
Of the engineer battalion with view to
having these men precede mounted infan-
try and cavalry troops in their marches
object of this arrangement would be to
clear the way for the troops by the build
ing of roads and bridges and the destruc-
ton Of all obstacles to the advancement
of the army. BY reason Of the fact that
the engineer battalions have never hereto
fore had the benefit Of horses. their field
operations on the march have usually been
confined to the infantry branch Of the
service
The experiences of our troops in the Phil
ippines and in China have convinced Cen
eral Gillespie and other officers of the En-
gineer Corps that the movements Of caval-
country would be greatly facilitated by the
presence and assistance of a detachment
Of mounted engineers, who could lead the
advancing columns and act as pioneers. 1t
skilled workmen with a flying column would
sometimes insure the success Of an impor-
tant military movement that might other
wise prove futile.
General Gillespies proposition has been
submitted to the Secretary of War, only,
however, in the nature of a suggestion but
with the statement that tho mounting of a
small number of engineers In each bat
talon. provided with suitable pack trains,
carrying necessary tools and implements.
with good results and without much ex-
penSe.

His Recovery.
HIS FRIEND AN Mo Z S

Mr.. Samuel Gompers. president of the

ously i'll at his home, No. 327 H street
northeast suffering from concussion of the
brain and possible fracture of the skull.
While his condition is critical, DR.. Edward
Balloch. the attending physician. believes
there is a chance for his recovery. Mr.
Gompers was injured about II 80 o'clock
last night by falling from No. 1906 of
the Columbia line at 4th and streets
northeast. only a short distance from his
home.
The force Of the fall was so great that
Mr.. Gompers was rendered unconscious.
He had been out for a car ride with his
two children and had just returned from
Cabin John bridge. 1t is not known how
the accident occurred The children were
badly frightened that they were unable
To- tell II is stated that he made no at
tempt to step to the ground until the car
had come to a full stop. and his friends
are therefore of the opinion that the car
made a sudden start while ne was waiting
for his children to get off and he was
thrown to the asphalt pavement. He was
carried to his home by passengers who
were on the car and others and Dr. Bal
IOCh sent for.
The patient remained in an insensible
condition for several hours When he re-
gained consciousness the pain was so in
tense that opiates had to be administered.
Many friends who heard of the accident
called at the house today, but nobody is
permitted to see the patient. 1t was stated
this afternoon that nobody will be allowed
to see the sick man for several days, at
least. While members of his family real
ize the seriousness of Mr.. Gompers' condi-
ton. they are encouraged to believe he will
get well.
Mr.. Gompers is fifty-two years old and is
well known throughout the United States
because Of the prominent part he has taken
in labor circles for many years.

TO BRING BROOKLYNs HERE.
Possible Meaning of an Application
by President Young.

by President Young.
President N E. Young Of the National
League this morning made application at
the District Commissioners Office for a per-
NIT to reconstruct the stands. entrances
and fences at National Park. the old league
grounds. at the head Of 7th street. The
permit had not been issued up to a late
hour this afternoon.
Uncle Nick" and his son Robert were
both seen at noon today by Star reporter,
but both were as mum as oysters as to
what the reconstruction meant. But to
those who have followed the developments
and present situation in the base ball world
especially regarding matters in the Ma
be gained through Mr.. Youngs application,
and that Is that the Brooklyn club is to be
transferred to this city at an early date.
All the National League club managers
nave been growing very loud of late over
the receipts picked up at Brooklyn this
first division. and as Magnate Freedman
has been turning in dollars to the other
magnates by the bucketful whatever the
latter wants about this time he can get
He has insisted that the Brooklyn club get
out of the National League. and has inti-
mated that either that team or his would
leave.
With this situation staring them in the
face, 1t Is regarded more than proba BILE
that the National League magnates have
held secret conference and persuaded
the Brooklyn magnates to consent to the
transfer. 1t will require about $1,000 to
put National Park in frst-class condition.
and this sum will assuredly not be spent
unless an important move on the lines
stated above is contemplated. There Is
also contingency that there will be
trouble in getting a permit for further ball
playing on the National Park.

STATEMENT BY SCOTT
RECALLS NO PROMISE REGARDING
PENSION COMMIssIONERsHIP.
Had No Authority to Give Assurances
Such as Gen. Sickles
Describes.

A new chapter was added to the contro-
versy between Gen. Daniel E. Sickles of
New York and Pension Commissioner
Evans this morning by Senator N. B.
Scott of West Virginia
Senator Scott called up Commissioner
Evans over the telephone, and after stating
that he had seen in the papers that Gen.
Sickles had made the statement that he
(ScotD. as the representative of the repub-
lican national committee, had made the
promise that Commissioner Evans should
be retired, declared he promised no such
thing.
day regarding the statement that he had
promised General Sickles that Commis-
sioner Evans would be removed after the
last presidential election that he could not
now remember having written any such
promise to General Sickles
Senator Scott says however, that while
he was at republican headquarters at New
York during the campaign he received
many letters from old soldiers critictstng
Mr.. Evans. He dictated answers to great
many Of these letters. In which he ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Evans would
not remain as commissioner Of pensions.
But at no time did he within his recol-
lection write to any one giving any promise
at all in the case. Senator Scott says that
he had no authority to make any such
promise the national committee had not
instructed him to do so.
If any such letter is in the possession of
any one. Senator Scott says 1t is entirely
without the authority of the national COM
mittee itself or Of its chairman, and he
states that he would be exceedingly glad to
the letter.
Senator Scott asked his stenographer If
she remembered writing any letter to
General Sickles. She stated that he
had dictated something like 1900 letters
to her during the campaign and that she
had no recollection of any letter to General
Sickles making a promise for the removal
Of Commissioner Evans.
Commissioner Evans said he had nothing
to add to his first statement printed In
The Star several days ago. Gen. Sickles,
needed attention by him other than the
stat ement authorized by Senator Scott.

Reform School.
The controller Of the treasury has sent

II have received. your letter Of the 22d
instant, in which YOU ask II there is any
authority Of law for Applying the balance
remaining from the appropriation made by
Congress for the new building for the re-
form school for girls,in the following man
ner: First. fordthe reimbursement Of the
equipment account. for apparatus, hose,
&c. for extingpishing fire, amounting to
$142 80: second. to pay, for two refrigerators
costing $40, on, the ground that the above
expenses were incurred for articles which
are necessary part Of the building.
Stat, 1862. contains an appropriation Of
S2o,O 900 for additional building reform
school for girls, and the general deficiency
act Of June 6. 1900 (31 Stat. 2s9). provides
for amount required, Ito complete building
and inclose the grounds $9,2S82
IL these acts stood alone there might be
some force nr.yollr suggestion that the
articles you name are necessary part of
the building. though even then 1t would
be matter of doubt whether an appro-
priatlon made for the erection Of a build
Ing would be available for furnishing and
equipping the same All doubt in this par
ticular case however is removed by the
action OF Congress In making a specific ap-
preparation in the District act Of June G.
1900 (31 Stat, $3.50 S. 900 for furnishing
and equipping new building It is we'll
settled rule Of construction that when an
appropriation is made for specific object
that appropriation Is exclusive, although
there may be another appropriation which
In the absence Of the specific appropria-
ton might be used.
In the present case the appropriations
for the new building and for furnishing and
equipping the same are distinct and ex-
elusive and cannot be made to supplement
each other. Your question must therefore
be answered in the negative"
