MILES PHILIPPINE PLAN
Synopsis of the Proposals He Made and
Their Reception by Root
Tension Revealed.

WASHINGTON, March 31.--The CORE
spondence between Secretary of War
Root and Lieutenant General Miles
resulting from the latter's request that
he be permitted to assume control of
the army in the Philippines, was laid
before congress Saturday. The CORE
SpOndence reveals Enthusiastically the
tension between the lieutenant general
and the war departmnt. General Miles
proposed to so to the Philippines, TAX
ing with him Porto Ricans and Gu
bans, who were to show the FilipinOs
the benefcence of United States
government and ne was to bring back
representative FilipinOS to confer with
the government. He claimed credit
for the visit to Washington Of the dele
cation from the Cuban constitutional
convention.
Secretary Root was evidently an
noyed at the generals proposal and
his reply is pretty sharp. 1t was also
condemnatory of the plan and of the
spirit of the generals letter. He also
declared that it was General Wood
who arranged for the visit to Wash
ington of the Cuban delegates. The
secretary also states that two years
ago General Miles proposed that the
United States might send $4,000 sol
diers to China-mOre than any other
one power proposed to send-and up
on that score claim command of the
allied forces. The secretary further
declared that General Miles requested
the war apartment TO obtain for him
the supreme command Of the forces
that marched to the relief of the be-
sieged legations in Picking.
The president approves Roots in
dOrsements on Miles communications,
including an imputation on Miles of
planning to get the last word and have
the whole matter published.

A RECORD POTATO PRICE.

One Ton Of Seed.
The potato when well grown still
maintains its Importance as a money
maker. The latest record price for a
new potato has created a sensation in
agricultural circles, and no wonder.
for one specialist has paid the raiser
OF 1t $500 for one ton of seed. 1t is
named the Northern Star, comes from
Scotland. and is evidently one OF the
most prolific potatoes grown. On April
IL last % pounds OF seed were planted,
with the result that they gave yield
OF 15 hundredweight of good. salable
tubers. From IL pounds OF seed 149
pounds or an average of IL pounds per
root, were obtained. One of these
roots actually produced 141a pounds.
From another single plant 65 potatoes
were growc. weighing 10 pounds. 1t
IL said that the potato is hardy, and
that the haulm resists blight better
than any other variety. There can be
no doubt that potato growers who
raise the tuber on skilled or scientific
lines can still depend upon making as
much money from the potato as from
any other crop that can be raised. The
new potato will be distributed from
Lincolnshire, which county, by the
way, has during recent years become
famous for seed potatoe culture, At
anything like the present value North

be secured for one ton of potatoes
