NO ACTION TAKEN.
Root and Roosevelt Have Not Dis
 cussed MiIes's Case.


 Washington, March 2o.-The news of General Miles's statement today before the Military Committee of the Senate caused great interest at the War Depart ment when it became known there late in the day. A very general Inquiry as to whether, by passing the criticisms on va rious officials as reported in the press. General Miles had not exposed himself to disciplinary treatment. The answer to this must be based on the exact amount of privilege which attaches to testimony given before a committee of Congress. A question rose last week in the course Of General Hughes's testimony before the Senate Philippines committee It ap- peared that there was variance of opin- ion in the committee itself on the ques- tion. While General Miles did not ex- pect when he gave his testimony that 1t would be made public in any form, he is now willing that 1t shall be published by the committee, making himself the broad statement that the statements which were given to the press as those made by himself before the committee were misrepresentations. totally unwar- ranted and untrue. f
 The omission by the President of hts usual ride this afternoon and the fact that he and Secretary Root were in con ference for nearly two hours. led to the supposition that they were discussing General Miless testimony. This, however, was an erroneous conclusion. When his attention was called to the proceedings before the committee, Secretary Root re- marked quietly that he was very sorry Lieutenant General Miles opposed this bill. He pointed out that under Section ', of which General Miles complained, the Lieutenant- GSneral would have greatly enlarged powers in army mana cement. As to the question whether General Miles had said anything which would require action at the hands of the department or the President. the Secretary firmly dc clined to express any opinion, for the present at least.

Hong Kong. March Z.-Adv1ces rom Canton say it is creditably reported there that the Viceroy has received telegrams from Lung Chin on the Annam border alleging that the whole of Marshal sus troops have deserted and joined the reb- els.

 The telegram further says the country is undoubtedly ripe for rebellion. Rob- beries are of frequent occurrence. the long continued drought prevents the planting of spring rice, and this has led the farm Iaborers to become robbers.

Col. B. L. Holt and W. F. vandiver are two of the best known citizens of Mont gomery. Colonel Holt is at the head of the large firm of D. M. Snow & Co. He Is one of the largest landholders of Mont gomery County. and is one of tine wealthiest citizens of the State. MT. Vandiver Is President of the Mutual Light and Power Company. He is also Presi- dent of the Peoples Line of Steamers, a director of the Plant Railroad System, and Is at the head of one of the big mer- cantile establishments of Montgomery. MT. Vandiver and MT. Holt are both inc terested in Montgomery banks. They have been in New York city several days.
 Upon the receipt Of the telegram from Mir. Vandlver and Colonel Holt announc- ing that the contract for the construction of the street railway system had been closed. The Advertiser telegraphed them requesting a detailed statement The re- ply merely stated that the system would be first-class and that S25.0Oo would be spent in making park at Pickett Springs.
 Popular Pickett Springs.
 Many years ago Pickett Springs was the popular resort of Montgomerians. It Is located on the Lower Weturnnka. road. four miles north of the city. At one time county fairs were held there as was the encampment of the State militia. In re- cent years 1t has been abandoned as a pleasure resort, owing to It's inaccessi- bilty.
 The resort derived it's name from Col. Andrew Pickett, the distinguished his- torian of Alabama, whose home was In that section of the county. A story is told that in the olden days the Lower Wetumpka road was the popular thor oughfare for planters who came to Mont- gomery from Fillmore and Coosa Counties. A toll was charged them for wagon room in the cotton yards of Montgomery. Colo nel Pickett, recognizing the value of a fine boiling spring in a well-shaded grove, conceived the idea of throwing the place open to the farmers. Accordingly, he built an enclosure around the spring and put up an immense sign. "Pickett's s Spring, Free to Farmers" The travellers soon appreciated the philanthropy of the distinguished Alabamian. and Pickett's Spring became a popular place. In later years 1t became locally famous for attractiveness of the grounds.
 The property Is now owned by Col. Barry l.. Holt, who also owns several thousand acres adjacent to 1t.
 Hon. F. B. Joseph, Mayor of Montgom- cry. expressed himself as being delighted with the news from New York. He said there was no doubt the new street rail- road would vastly improve Montgomery in every direction, and he was glad that Colonel Holt would avail himself of the franchise granted by the Council
