Should Respect Superiors as
He Would Be Respected,
Mr.. Roosevelt Says.

Washington, March 21.-The statements
made yesterday by General Miles before
the senate committee on military affairs
were discussed by the president to-day
with number Of his callers. There is
little doubt that these statements will
ultimately lead to General Miles retire.
ment by the president.
In discussing the matter day with his
callers, among whom were senators and
representatives, the president. took the
position that the Acknowledgment of
the army should entertain toward his SUI
periors the same respect that he would
expect and demand from his subordinates.
No Rough Rider Speed.
At the cabinet meeting to-day the pub
locations relating to the statements made
by General Miles yesterday were brought
up, but consideration of them was post
poned until all the facts become known.
Whatever intentions the president has,
his action will be somewhat Influenced by
the fact that General Miles statement
before the senate committee has been rep
resented to, him as being privileged. The
president purposes to read the testimony
given at the hearing and to consult with
different members of the committee on
military affairs before announcing what
he will do
It is significant that long after the
cabinet meeting adjourney Secretary Root
and the attorney general were closeted
with the president The president is
known to have stated that he was tired
of the friction in the army, and whether
or, not 1t is decided that General
Miles statement was a privileged one, he
will soon take action looking to his re-
tirement. a..

mill at Minneapolis for grinding Canadian
wheat
Assistant Secretary Spaulding has writ

Vancouver, B. c., March 21.-It may
now almost be taken for granted that the
British Columbia government will be de-
feated in a week or two. over a railroad
policy, proposing to give away millions
OF money and millions of acres Of land to
company to connect Vancouver island
with a new transcontinental line through
northern British Columbia. ~.
- The provincial finance minister, Mr..
Prentice has been compelled, as. though
to show the impossibility Of such sub
sidizing, to state that the British CO.
lumbia revenue of the last six months
failed by $584,0O0 to meet expenses The
deficit for the twelve months is thus
brought to over $1,000, 900. H.. -.
The ministry is denounced on all hands
as extravagant and incompetent, and at
least five of its supporters will leave it on
its railroad policy. AS it has only a
majority Of three, this secession makes
defeat certain. What will then happen
nobody knows,~as parties are chaotically
mixed. 1t is, however, certain that James

INNOCENT
Stewart Fife Did Not Kill
I Frank Richardson, Say
the Jurors. d:

Savannah, Mo-, March 31-When court
opened~this morning the jury in the case
OF Stewart Fife, charged with the murder
of Frank Richardson at the home of the
victim, Christmas eve, 1900, returned a
verdict of acquittal. The jurors were
unanimous.
When the verdict was announced there
was a dramatic scene in the courtroom.
Mrs. Fife, mother of the accused, sprang
forward and embraced her son, shouting
for joy. Mrs. Fife has suffered from hys-
terra at intervals ever since her son was
arrested. Mrs. Richardson, widow Of the
murdered man, was also in the courtroom
and gave vent to her emotion. j.
. This is the second trial in the Richard
son murder, Mrs. Richardson having been
acquitted a few weeks ago, and still the
mystery of Frank Richardson's sensa-
.tional murder is unsolved. No other in
dictments are pending and the incident is
now probably closed so far as the courts
are concerned
Stewart Fife is a member Of an aristo-
cratic and wealthy family Of st. Joseph.
A few months after the murder Fife dis
appeared and after long absence he was
arrested at North Yakima, Wash.
