Gen. Miles Again Under Fire.

The Administration is again trying
to down Gen. Miles, this time on an
accusation that lie has been besraying
"otticisl secrets" 1t seems that Con-
gre>emen have information OF out
RACES committed in the Philippine
campaign, that, 1t i claimed, could
only have leaked from the War Dc
partment. and it seems that it has
been agreed upon to adopt the Prcsi-
dents course, and resolve that no bet
ter, or more appropriate scape- goat
could he selected than the man he
wishes to depose. 1t will be rcmem-
bcred that several months ago Con
gress demanded Of Secretary Root all
charges filed in his Department OF
malieasance in the conduct OF the
war OF subJugation. The Secretary's
attempt to evade the demand may, or
may not, have impelled the General
to insist that eliminating letter Of
Private Wier, against Lieut.. F. 7. Ar
mold Of the 1th Cavalry, charging in.
human cruelties, and the official re-
port OF partial investigation by Capt.
Z. w. West OF the 9Th Cavalry, which
recommended that o more thorough
investigation be made, should not be
withheld from congressional invcsti-
cation. 1t may have been very pal.
pable indication that Secretary Root
was anxious to conceal evidence that
has led the General to give the pointers
that Senator Beverage insinuated the
other day he had done, but at best the
charge is a mere inference drawn from
Miles attempt to be OF service to the
country in his official capacity, and
the persistent endeavor of the Admin
istration to prevent him from so doing.
The episode in the Senate which
has again placed the General under
abusive fire, was the reading of the
charges made by Private Wier, by Sen.
ator Culberson, OF Texas. This paper
was, of course, included in the general
request Of Congress for all information
relating to Philippine outrages. 1t
was withheld. and having failed in the
regular way to secure this report the in
quistive Senator adopted an unofficial
method, and Senator Beveridge, the
watchdog of the President. at nnoe
saw an opportunity to open the old
sore that his master has 90 persistently
probed. With fire in his eye. he
asked Senator Culberson where he had
obtained the papers, and very natur-
ally the Senator gave no direct reply.
Then Beveridge asked, "Were not
those papers received, directly or in-
directly, from Gen. Miles?' The SEN
ator made no reply at the time, but
after conference with his colleagues,
brought the matter up and declared
that the papers we're received from q
gentleman absolutely and wholly dis
connected with the Army and the War
Departments, and did not 90 far as he
knew, come directly or indirectly from
Gen. Miles.
This reply, it is said, the opposition
to Gen. Miles, consider evasive. and it
has been announced that the President
will order . courtmartial to investi.
gate the matter. The report that
Gen. Miles, who was out West, had
been ordered to return Immediately to
Washington has been, however, denied
by the General and the War Depart
ment.

The MERGER SUIT Is UNDER Con-

government against the Northern Sc.

Of St. Paul, U. s. District Attorney,
has filed six replications to the answers
to Hill and others in the U. S. Circuit
Court. They assert in substance that
the government would prove its bill
against the defendants as true; that
the government would reserve any and
all advantages OF exceptions which may
be taken to the errors of the defend
ants, and denied generally the points
contained in the answers and asserted
that no specific reply could be made
because the answer of the defendant
is uncertain, evasive and insufficient

be the appointment OF an examiner,
who will take the testimony. This ex-
aminer will be in New York city q
large portion OF his time, as most OF
the testimony will be taken there.
The case itself will probably come to
trial in September if the expectations
of Mr.. Purdy are realized.

Convicts Murder Guards and Escape.

Last Monday, Harry Tracy and
David Merrill, convicts in the peniten.
tiary at Salem, Ogn., escaped by kill.
ing three guards and making break
for liberty. Since that time the whole
State has been in "A turmoil, the DIES.
peradoes literally placing at defiance
the communities through which their
route passed. They have walked into
farm houses and compelled their
inmates to furnish them food; have
held up way-faring men for articles
OF clothing; been surrounded at time,
to vanish and appear at some other
point, and have even robbed the posse
engaged in their capture, OF a buggy
and their guns, which they appropriat.
ed to their own use. About 100 citi.
zens and Company + OF the National
Guard have been all the week engaged
in the fruitless endcavor to effect their
capture.
Yesterday morning, they appeared
at farmhouse five miles north oil
Gervais and demanded break fast, leav
ing pursuers watching the woods in
the suburbs of the town. They delib
erately sat down and ate breakfast
with guns upon their knees, and then
departed for the woods on Deep Creek
The men where they ate the meal had
just left the house for work in the
field and the two women readily pre-.
pared good breakfast for the desper'

presence created.

PRICE HANGS ON CORN
IF CORN CROP is GOOD, PRICE OF
MEAT MAY FALL.
OCT. l MAY BRING A CHANGE.
IF NOT, YEAR OF HIGH PRICES MAY
BE EXPECTED.

Southern Manager Jerome of the
Armour Company Has Been Talk
ling Over the Meat situation With
Savannah Butchers-ArmOur Com
pany Has Laid on Four of-Its Men
at savannah AEency-GenernI Re
dnctfOn of Meat Forces Here May
FOIIow-COmpnnies Not Shipping
i'm Large Quantities to Savannah,
and There Is Not as Much Work to
Be DOne-Savannah Butchers Talk
ing About Closing for the Summer.
IF the corn crop this year proves to
be a good one, the price of meat will
go down Oct. /. If there is not a good
crop. however. the price will not go
down. For another year, at least, it
will continue above the figure it was
before the advances were made"
This statement was made by South
ern Manager Jerome of the Armour
Company. Mr.. Jerome spent several
days in the city, talking over the meat
situation with the local trade. He met
a number of the butchers, with whom
he discussed prices of meat and the
possibility of relief from the prevailing
high prices.
Yesterday four men were laid off by
the Armour Company in Savannah,
and it is said that it's forces have been
or will be diminished at all of it's agen-
cies because of the falling off in BUSH
ness and the great decrease in the con-
sumption of meat. 1t is said that
other meat companies may follow the
lead of the Armours.
The meat concerns have. stopped
shipping large quantities of meat to
Savannah. There lis not enough de-
mand for it. The local butchers find
that the people do not buy nearly as
much since the prices began to go up,
and this has had the effect of COM
pelling the companies to cut down the
size of their shipments. AS there is
not as much work to be done, as large
a force to do 1t is not needed.
Savannah is faring better than New
York and other large cities in the price
of meat" said MIR. Nj. S. Gardner yes
terday. New York is paying IL cents
pound by the carcass, while Boston
is paying ~ and 13 cents. Savannah
Is paying 10 cents. While regret the
high prices of meat very much, l do
not see what other course the compa-
MES have. They are compelled to
raise the price when the price is
raised upon them by the cattlemen.
have had reports from several points
In the West to prove this. 1t is true
that the companies have entered into
agreement for their protection and ben
eft, but they were forced to the step
they have taken as to prices
Butchers, Mr.. Gardner said, are econ
omizing in every possible way. They
are seeking to husband their resources
until such time as the consumption of
meat increases. The butchers at the
City Market are complaining most,
and some have declared thei rinten-
ton Of shutting up their places until
fall, in order to avoid expense. Their
ice bills are large, and they figure that
they would save that much.

CHICAG0'Ss AMERICAN DERBY.
Ih1rteen Horses Entered for Race
TO-day-PrOspect of Heavy Track
May Increase Number.

IO-day-PrOspect of Heavy Track
May Increase Number.
Chicago. June 20.-Thirteen horses
are entered to start in Tomorrow
American Derby and it is likely one or
two more will be added to the list to-
morrow, making one of the largest
fields ever seen in the race. The prac-
tical assurance of a heavy track is re-
sponsible for several starters, who
think they will have a chance of this
kind of going, which they would not
have under other conditions.
The list as announced tonight, to-
gether with the Odds is as follows:
Lord Quex, 10 to /; Otis, 10 to /;
Heno, 2 to /; Pentecost, to /; Ar
senal, to 1; Bellies Commences, s to
1; Hermis, to l.; Wyeth, 10 to l.;
Lucien Appleby, 10 to l.; Aladdin Is
to l; Prowl, Is to 1; Corrigan, 25 to
l; Cruzados, 20 to /.
Although Owner Baldwin and
Trainer Spiers both announced posi-
lively yesterday that Cruzados would
not start, owing to a slight injury he
received in the Derby trial at Har-
lem, Wednesday, they apparently
changed their minds, and tonight
they announce that there is a strong
probability that the son of Emperor
of Norfolk will go to the post. There
has been quiet rumor also that the
famous Santa Anita stable is counting
on Escalante to carry its colors, and
that Cruzados is not really as good a
colt as Escalante. Such are the ru-
mors that have kept the public guess
ing as to what will take place in the
big race.
There is much disappointment at the
promise of muddy track for the race.
Contrary to the promise of the weather
man, it rained most of to-day, and it
seems certain that the track will be
more or less heavy.
If it does not rain tomorrow after
noon there will be an enormous at
tendance, probably fully $4,000 people.
