more Of them grown from a single

FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
Now An Army Controversy.

In hearing before the Senate committee
ON military affairs last week, the subject
being the bill favored by the war depart
ment relating to the command of the army,
Gen. Miles made some statements of very
radical nature, that are liable to open him
to official censure. He declared that he
would resign If the bill were passed, and
that the department favored it merely to
make room for some of its favorites. Re-
Gently, Gen. Miles asked to be sent to the
Philippines, and outlined plan for crush
ing the insurrection in short order. The
request was refused. The correspondence
ON this matter is to be made public,
and it is said will show Gen. Miles in an
unfavorable light.

DEATH OF ALDEN SPEARE.
One of the Great Men That Chelsea
Has Sent Out

The Hon. Alden Speare, retired Boston
merchant. died very suddenly from heart
failure at Pasadena, Cal, Saturday night.
He had slight paralytic stroke about a
year ago, and had not been in good health
since. He went to Pasadena about month
ago for his health. Mrs. Speare was with
her husband when he died. The remains
are on the way to his late home at Newton
Center.
Hon. Alden F. Speare was a native Of this
town, born on the farm now occupied by
Chas. M. Blaisdell ON the East hill, where
his father died. His father, who was a
practicing physician in Corinth and Chel-
sea desired his son to follow his profess
sion, and to that end he studied with Dr..
James R. Morse of this place.
After his fathers death, he decided to
give up the study OF medicine, and in 1874
went to Boston as clerk in a drygoods
