THE President recently compelled
Gen. Miles to cease his attacks upon
the War Department under penalty OF
retirement. but it appears that this
discipIiuing was not sufficient to satisfy
that department for the President aud
the Secretary yesterday administered
another rebuke to the General. They
decided that he cspEot act as Secretary
of War 10 tbs absence of the Secretary
and the Assistant Secretary, as he
formerly did. Secretary Root left
Washington yesterday, and before bis
departure he issued an order desigDat'
ing the Chief Clerk OF the War De-
partmeut as acting Secretary OF War
during his absence. In order to do
this lie had to obtain from the Presi-
dent an executive order revoking an
order issued by President Mckinley.
which declares that in the absence of
both the Secretary and the Assistant
Secretary their duties should devolve
upon the general OF the army.
This put in force a former regulation
giving the Secretary the right to desig.
nate the acting Secretary from among
the officials Of the department. The
afiront to lilies WAS not 80 marked yes
terdsy because the general also hap
pened TO be out Of the city, but il is as.
sumed that the new order was for the
purpose of shutting him out entirely
from the office OF secretary whenever
his civilian superiors are away. This
was indicated by the fact that another
order was issued declaring that in the
absence OF the adjutaGt general his
duties shall be performed by the officer
OF highest rank 10 his Office, instead OF
by the adjutsnt general of army head
quarters, who is necessarily very
friendly to General Miles. 10 the War
Dspaitneut and elsewhere, where the
full significance Of tho action taken Ia
appreciated, 1t is regarded as but an
other exhibition OF the petty malice
with which the Secretary OF War has
pursued the commanding general oil
the army.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

CONS1ll ~ IlON AL OON EN AAON'
Senator Daniel yesterday opened the
debate In the Constitutional Conven-
ton on the method Of putting into
force the new constitution. He made
a half-hour's speech In favor of submits
zion, but so strongly and clearly set
forth the purely legal right OF the con
yention to proclaim the instrument that
the proclaimers declare his position re-
moves the only real objection to proc
lsmation, and they claim the Senator's
speech as their inning.
Judge Harrison, Of Winchester, also
spoke for submission. He closed by say
ing he cared not to what electorate the
instrument was submitted, but he want.
ed to protest against constitution be.
ing foisted upon and rammed down the
throats of his people without allowing
them to pass upon any of provisions.
He believed the constitution would be
ratified il submitted, but above all
things ii should be submitted for their
approval.
This last sentence created hstteriDg
applause. None of the other members
beiag ready to speak, the convention
adjourned until tomorrow.
Che turn that affairs took yesterday
indicates that the vote on the question
of proclamation may be taken much
earlier than the time fixed-next Thurs
day. Alter the two hours Of speech
making yesterday there was nobody else
ready to speak and the order for two
sessions day was broken by the con-
vertion sdjourDinR until today.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY "a. 1902

FoRrY-oNE years ago today seven
compsples Of volunteers left Alexan'
dria and became part OF the southern
army. Others. not at the time soldiers,
left later ia the year in squads or In
diyiduslly and cast their fortunes with
a osuse destined to succumb after four
lon0 wears to q superior force, but
which is still held sacred by all who
survived the vicissitudes OF the long
and tedious struggle. The anniversary
of the hasty departure OF the Alexsn-
driaus is again upon us. an occasion
reproducing most OF the scenes con-
nscted with that memorable EXODUS
which was accomplished while the van
guard of the federal army was crossing
the Long Bridge and several regiments
of soldiers were being landed OF tne
wharyes under cover Of the guns oil tae
II. :. steamer Pswnee. That beauti-
fol MAY morning will be remembered
by the remnant who returned 10 1850
and other Alexandrisns, most OF whom
were little children at the time. Ii
was q sad occasion for mothers, fathers,
sisters. brothers and wives as
they babe their loved ones fare
well. Some were destined to
return four years later others to fall
amid the clash OF war. The lone hg'
IRE st the intersection OF Prince and
Washington streets stands as the silent
sentinel at the point where the last as
sembling of the Alexandria soldiers
took place. On the pedestal OF the
monument are the names OF those who
at that spot took hasty chances OF the
sleeping city and who now form part
of the bivousc of the dead. May their
memory ever be green 10 the hearts OF
those who we're their companions over
two score years ago. Year after year
in mid winter r. E. Lee Camp OF
Confederate Veterans, true to their
mission, meet in the cheerful banquet
hall, listen to just tributes 10 the Con-
fe1ersts soldier and. with bowed heads
propose toasts to those who were de-
barred from being paroled at APP
pomst!ox, having given up their lives
10 their country's defense. 10 bslmy
spring they gather again and their i'm
pressive memorial day services are also
reminders of by-gone days, and as gar
lands are placed upon the tombs OF
those whose lips have long since been
sealed 10 death, the remembrance OF
tue valiant band is reproduced in all
it's freshness. The survivors OF the ten
THOUSAND who returned to Greece with
Xepophon, those who escaped from
Troy and the remnant of NapoleoD's
old guard have all been honored
in their day aud generation.
Those who composed the Army Of
Northern Virginia have played an
equally valiant part in modern history
and the remembrance OF those who
will not answer the roll-csll at the
memorial services Monday is sacred.
