excuse and at one time soldiers fred
into a party OF laborers. He says:
Since General Smith has been In
command here there has not been a

Millisen, for nineteen years an employee
of the Cumberland Valley Railroad, as
a general agent, seventeen years Of that
time spent at Sheppensburg, shot HIM
self through the head about o'clock
this morning, and died instantly.
A short time ago he was transferred

larly.
This morning he left his home. in
tending to go to Waynesborough. In

A Permanent Tribunal.
81 believe it can best be done by a
permanent tribunal or commission. In
no event should there be any attempt
at a general or systematic revision of
the existing tariff schedules. Instead of
that the work should proceed cautiously,
all interests should be considered, and
then the tariff should be adjusted on
particular schedules to meet modern
trade conditions.

NO CHANGE LIKELY IN
PHILIPPINE COINAGE
Commission Not in Accord
With Views of Congress.

The present outlook is that the
coinage system of the Philippines. which
consists of American gold and Mexican
silver, will remain unchanged for some
time to come.
The present system is not satisfac-
terry in all respects. but the Philippine
Commission is dissatisfied with the act
passed by Congress at the last session.
and has decided not to avail itself Of
those sections of the civil government
act, which authorizes the issue of a
coin of so centavos denomination and
of 1929 grains in weight, also coin
of 20 centavos. IT'S grains, and coin
of 10 centavos, 1888 grains.
There was long discussion OF this
proposed coinage in the Senate Com
mittee on the Philippines last winter.
Section II of the bill as finally enacted
uses the word authorized" in EXTEND
ing power to the Philippine civil gov
eminent to issue the coins in question.
Information has been received here
that the commission regards the word
authorized as conveying discretion
airy power, and the commission has ac-
cordingly decided not to issue the spe-
cial coins.

ADMIRAL DEWEY IN COMMAND

Preliminary arrangements have been
the fleet maneuvers to be held in the
West Indies this winter. The torpedo
boat hotilla has already started for the
scene of operations, and in few days
large ships which are to have part in
the war games to be played will begin.
Orders have been sent out by the
Navy Department to the several flag Of
ficers concerned directing that the
maneuvers shall be initiated with a
search or scouting problem, similar to
that in which Commander Pillsbury's
squadron engaged last August off the
New England coast in competition with
the home defense fleet OF Rear Admiral
Higsinson.
In the repetition of this practice in
the West Indies, the vessels of the Eu-
ropean and South Atlantic stations will
be combined as hostile fleet. under
the command of Rear Admiral Sumner,
with Rear Admiral Crowninshield as
second in command. This fleet will be
opposed to the powerful North Atlantic
naval force, urder command of Rear
Admiral Higginson. The departments
orders are that the European and South
Atlantic squadrons shall rendezvous
about November. %. in the Gulf of Paria,
near Port of Srain, Island of Trinidad
Here, Rear Admiral Sumner. the senior
officer. will assume command of the
combined forces.

Squad Instruction.

In the United States the urgent need
is for instruction of the smaller units
from the squad to the brigade in the
operations of war and camp sanitation.
In regard to this latter, Notwithstanding
the unfavorablt weather which prevaile
during much of the period covered by
the maneuvers it was remarked that the
percentage of sick was exceedingly small,
IN fact. below the average which Nigh:
ordii arily be expected in garrison.
The great expense attendant upon the
transportation of national guard troops
from distance prevented large at
tendance from the different States. Tho
general opinion, however, appeared to be
fayora to such maEeuvers and t
seem, certain that when Congress take
final action looking to the acquisition OF
the necessary land for the four large
maneuvering camps. a full attendance
may be confidently expected.

Will Not Follow Europe.

There was no opportunity in the war
with Spain and the subsequent war in
the Philippines to test tho value of
many theories, concerning modern war
between civilized combatants. The regu-
lar army at the present time, however.
is particularly fortunate in having i
large proportion of its officers exper-
fenced in minor warfare to an unusual
degree.
The general concensus of opinion re
sulting from the recent mareuvers IS
thai no effort should be made in this
country to initiate the maneuvers Of
large bodies of troops such as prevails
in Germany, France and Russia. These
mareuvers are real schools of instruc
tion for generals and the higher staff
officerS
