CAUSINGMUCH GOSSIP
Executive Order Issued by
the President.
ON GEN. MILES
NEW PROVISIONS FOR ABSENCE
OF SECRETARY OF WAR.
Chief Clerk Will Sign acquisitions and
Other Papers-Acting Adju-
tant General.

Two executive orders Just issued by the
President are causing considerable gossip
In military circles, as they are supposed to
indicate a widening Of the breach between
the President and the Secretary Of War on
the one hand and Lieutenant General Miles
on the other. They both relate to the con-
duct OF business in the War Department
during the temporary absence of the Sec
rotary and assistant secretary and similar
absence on the part Of the adjutant gen.
eral.
Orders Rescinded.
The first order is as follows:
THE executive orders of August 20, 1901,
and September 20. 1900 authorizing and di-
recting certain officers to perform the duties
OF the Secretary Of War during the illness
or temporary absence from the seat of gov
eminent Of the Secretary Of War and the
assistant secretary OF war are deemed to
scinded."
The orders thus rescinded are those which
provide respectively that the lieutenant
general commanding the army and In his
absence the adjutant general of the army
shall perform the duties of Secretary of
war during the absence of the Secretary
ana the assistant secretary. Up to within
a comparatively recent date. General Miles
frequently, and General Corbin OCCASION
ally, has acted for the Secretary in the
dispatch of current business The order
Just issued Will prevent either of the off,
GERS named from acting hereafter under
any circumstances, except by specific di
rection Of the President.
Acting Secretary of War.
1t so happens that Secretary Root and
Assistant Secretary Sanger are both alb
sent from the city today. To meet that
contingency under the new order of affairs
Secretary Root before his departure for
Annapolis this morning issued the follow
ing order:
by virtue Of the authority vested in me
by the act approved March 4. 1874, 1 here
by authorize John c. Scofield. chief clerk
or the War Department to sign reduisitions
upon the treasury and other papers re-
auirins my signature. during my temper
airy absence from Washington on the I'D
DAY OF May. 1902, and until my return or
until the return Of the assistant Secretary
of War.
"tsigned) ELIHU ROOT"
Acting as Adjutant General.
Inc other executive order referred to pro-
vtdes that in the temporary absence of the
adJutant general the senior officer on duty
IN his office shall perform the duties of ad-
Jutant general. Under this order I.ieuten-
ant Colonel George Andrews, assistant adj
Jutant general, is today acting as adiutant
general. Heretofore, in the absence of the
adJutant general the duties of that officer
have been performed by Colonel Thomas
Ward, the next ranking officer in the de-
partment. Colonel Ward is adjutant gem
eral at headquarters of the army, and as
SUCH is directly under the orders of Lieu
tenant General Miles. 1t is limited that his
close official relations with the lieutenant
general is the reason for the President's
order making change in the assignment
OF a temporary adJutant general.

Effect on American Labor.

Mr.. Dubois expressed the fear that with

result seriously TO American labor. as we'll
as to the American manufacturers. Manu-
featuring establishments ultimately would

Bishop Thoburn Before Phil
ippines Committee.
MR.CARMACK'SREQ
WANTED TO HEAR TESTIMONY
OF VISITING CONGRESSMAN.
Petition Of Miss Lopez for Release of
Three Brothers, Who, She Says,
Have Been Unjustly Treated.

The examination Of Bishop Thoburn of
the M. E. Church by the Senate committee
on Philippines was continued today. The
inquiry was taken up by Senator Carma elk.
In response to his questions the witness
said he did not consider that the Filipinos
had any idea Of their islands becoming a
state Of the United States, but If they did
have this idea he was sure that no great
body of the people Of the United States
shared it.
Senator Carmack asked a number of
questions concerning the comparative sue
cess of American missionaries in Asia. The
bishop replied that he did not consider this
due entirely to the fact that heretofore the
United States has not been a nation Of
conquest but that it has been largely due
to the popular manners Of the Americans.
They are, he said, less pompeus. In China
the Americans have, he said, always been
popular and they becoming more SO

had behaved better than the forces of any

Extension of Civilization.

Senator Beveridge asked whether the wit
ness believed 1t would be Sin the interest
of civilization to have England withdraw
from India" and Bishop Thoburn replied
that he should be very sorry to have that
occur. 1T would result in a state of
chaos" he said.
AS going to show what the English had
done In the far east he said that within a
very brief time they had made of Singa-
pore and Hong Kong most important CEN
ters of commerce and civilization. In Hong
Kong man is. he said, better protected
than in Chicago.
In response to questions by Senator Car
mack. Bishop Thoburn expressed the opin-
ion that the greater protection to personal
rights in Hong Kong is due to the fact that
the government has a stronger arm in Hong
Kong than in Chicago. LAS matter of
fact he said, I'VE al know that in Chicago
a man is not safe in walking the streets at
night. while he is so In Hong Kong"
Replying to Senator Dietrich the bishop
expressed the opinion that Aguinaldo could
not have subjugated the islands If left alone
in his rebellion against Spain. He also said
that there would have been civil war in the
Philippines If Aguinaldo had been victorious
in his war with the United States.

CAN WRITE THEM.
CaIklns, the Story Teller.

Mr.. Franklin w. Calkins, of Wyom-
ing. Wis., who writes many interesting
stories for the youths Companion, I"
says:
Food can make or unnake writer.
For number Of years, living the Sc
dentary life of the writer and student,
! suffered all the ills of nervous dy-
spepsia. I could eat nothing in the
morning save dry crust Of toasted
bread and cup of weak coffee. For
my dinner at o'clock, had been in
the habit of eating rare beef steak, the
only food from which I seemed to get
proper nourishment, but no meal was
taken without the after pangs Of in
digestion; I was beginning to get dis
gusted with life.
About year ago friend suggested
Grape-Nuts telling me of the benefit he
had received from the food and I began
with 1t as directed; found immediate
relief from my indigestion and in a
short time my dyspepsia left me en-
airely. I have now used Grape-N Nuts
for year and have had no trouble
with my stomach having eaten many
enjoyable dinners.
I find in fact that all you say for
Grape-Nuts is true and it is certainly
the food for brain workers and the
truth of your claims is proved in my
own cure. I have no appetite for
meats"

seem quite so well. and I invited him
in TO spend few days with US while
his wife was completing arrangements
to have him go to another city and stay
with a friend. During his last sOjOurn
in Guilford he had taken 10 smoking
quite a good deal, and this led to his
arrest. He was going down town Fri
day evening, when ne stopped at a drug
store to buy some cigars. He happened
to be out of money just then and asked
to be given credit, and when this was
refused he became abusive and was
finally taken to the police station.
Locked up as he was with a lot of
criminals. and afterwards examined by
physicians as to his sanity. every rea-
sonable man can but see what effect
this would naturally have on man of
his intelligence, and who had spent a
number of long, sad and bitter years of
suffering in insane asylums.
Now, think of all that Christian Sci
ence has done for this man. From a
helpless condition and a physical wreck
he was restored to perfect health and
strength-he was the very picture of
health. From muttering idiot he was
so far restored mentally that he could
go and come and could travel any,
where, and many a man whom he met
never discovered that there was any
thing wrong with him.
In view of all these facts and others
that might be mentioned think 1 am
justified in saying that Christian Sci
ence has not failed, but has done what
materia medica did not accomplish.
