NO ACTION is TO BE TAKEN.

Washington December zS.-When Sec
Rotary Root signed his name to the Miles
rcprimand he probably experienced the
keenest Joy Of his life. Never friendly to
Miles, his relations with the lieutenant
general during the past three months have
been so strained that he has not spoken
to him The fact that Miles was able to
establish friendly relations with the White
House in spite Of the influence OF the sec
rotary was gall and NORWOOD to Mr.
Root He quarreled repeatedly with the
lieutenant general over departmental rou-
tine aud finally found It convenient TO
sever their relations altogether. Nobody
doubts, in view Of the developments of the
past few days, taken in connection with
what has gone before, that Root was the
responsible agent for exciting the prrsi-
dent TO the undignifcd outbu-st Of temper
which he displayed in reprmaudng Miles

mind by magniiying General Miles oGerse.
Understanding better than any other man
in the government the presidents hostility
to Admiral Schley and his friends. it was
comparatively easy for the secretary of war
10 play on Colonel Rooscvelts passions.
The undlgni6ed, unwarrantah.c and I'M
precedentcd scene at the White House was
the immediate outcome of Secretary Roots
fine work The written rcprmand which
followed later in the day was simply Sc
quel
The lieutenant general proposes to leave
the whole matter TO public opinion TO de-

character that it mcritcd the brutal re-

Dictated by congress sooner or later. II
the Fifty-seventh congress does not take 10
the navy department scandals and probe
them to the bottom the Fifty-eighth or the
Fifty-ninth congress is almost certain to
do so.
In Washington however, the belief is
growing that the present congress will act
Public sentiment is overwhelming and so
aggressive on the points in issue that the
republican leaders will not dare TO sup
press all Of the bills and resolutions which
are now pending, President Roosevelt
VIII undoubtedly oppose any proposed ac
ton and may veto any bill or resolution
that congress may send to him for his
signature, but II is becoming more and
more doubtful il he can muzzle those rep
resentatves and senators who feel that
their political futures will be imperiled II
they do not act.

Jackson, Miss, December 27.--At a pre-,
liminary trial for murder, held at Yazoo

the magistrate held that q negroes head Is

TO show the redoubtable nature of the head

railroad yards gt rchua, In Holmes county,
the dead man had Killed a man by the VIC

Washington, December a8.-The official
New Year reception TO be held at the
White House on Wednesday next may
bring forth some very interesting develop
ments. Orders which have been issued by
the war any navy departments require all
officers, retired as well as active, to be
present in full dress uniform to pay their
respects to the president and a considera-
bic amount OF speculation as to the course
to be pursued by Miles, Dewey and Schley
is being INDUCED in. 1t is hardly reason
able to suppose that any one Of these men
will be willing to stultify himself by
wishing the compliments OF the season 10
the man who is so strcnuously opposed to
all three of them, and who has recently
demonstrated how he feels toward them by
conduct which, especially in the case Of
Miles is generally regarded as quite I'M
called for and extreme. On the other
hand il is not quite clear how they will
be able to escape from the official red
tape which surrounds the case if they are
in the city on New Years Day.
All OF the congressman in the city are
expected to be in evidence at the rccco-
