GENERAL MILES
FRIENDS AGGRIBVED
Court-Martial Papers Not to
Go Through His Hands.
Those Ordered by President to Be Re-
viewed Only by the Chief
Executive.

Friends Of Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles
are inclined to take offense at the re-
Gently adopted policy which still further
limits his official functions and deprives
him of privileges which he formerly en-
joyed.
The new custom that is complained of
is the habit of the President of issuing
orders for army courts martial. instead
of having them go out through the de-
partment commanders. as was formerly
the case. The point is that the papers

manders pass through the hands of the

and for the inquiry into the charges
against Lieutenant Arnold. issued from
the White House, and the papers in each
case will be forwarded to the President
as the first reviewing authority. General
Miles will not see them at all. or at any
rate not until after they have been acted
upon, and it is doubtful if he will get
them even then.
Thought to Be Snub.
General Miles friends are inclined to
think that the new departure in the
of courts martial was adopted
with a definite idea in view. and that
that idea is to limit the usefulness of
he general commanding and make him
more of a figurehead than ever. 1t is
noticed that In all the courts that have
been ordered by the President the ques-
tion of cruelty is involved. 1t is sug-
gested that in view of the strong sus-
picion that exists in administration cir

ties by our soldiers in the Philippines

prise some to know that there are now
pending In Pension Office 355, ,259 claims
for pension. of which 1851 are due to
the war with Spain.
The new Commissioner is having a
difficult time in trying not to lay down
policy for considering pension mat
tiers. He has been pursued by a perfect
army of attorneys and Grand Army of
the Republic men and by people on the
other side OF the question, who want
to influence him one way or the other.
He says they actually follow him out to
Kansas and try to reach him through
his wife and even more distant rela-

Mr. Ware is finding out that lot OF
people are vitally interested in knowing
whether he proposes to administer the
pension laws in a liberal or narrow
spirit. He proposes, however, to let his
policy develop as he goes along with his
work. As he says, he is merely sitting
at his desk. disposing of cases as they
come up. and those who want TO know
what his policy is will have to learn
it by judging of his action in the va
rious claims.

ceremonies.
Several noted ministers of the Metho-

and participated in the services. among
them being Rev. DR.. William F. Ham

be continual bloodshed.
THE Indians Of this continent padded
their canoes over the great lakes and
/ rivers of America. yet they never cut
down the trees and built ships to carry
on commerce. Why? Their feet trod
the very soil from which now comes the
wonderful supplies of minerals and ore.
vet they never dug them Up and con-
verted that iron into the great belts that
connect the oceans of the East and
West. Why?
Had Not Been Trained.
Because their feet had never been
trained to those things: they had never
been taught to look higher. They would
never have formed a nation such as our
own had not Columbus come to these
shores and placed the feet OF the cor
auerors upon this soil. And the first
thing that Columbus did was to plant
cross and give thanks TO God for his
success in reaching what he supposed to
be his destination. With this act he
brought the Church OF Jesus Christ into
the new world. and with il that trend
of development that has brought about
the upbuilding of this magnificent ma
tion.

of the people would never have i'm

have been the inevitable outgrowth of

you would live in a veritable swamp OF

to rule: there would be no Offices to
hold no business OF consequence would
be transacted or laws passed to upbuild
the beauty of your city, for men would
fight each other and vice would prevail.
Let us all pray to the Most High that
this church, the cornerstone of which
we are about to lay, may add materially

Need for New Church.

The Central Methodist Church was for
many years located at Twelfth and NJ
Streets northwest, where IL had a neat
and comfortable home and was doing
an excellent work. The congregation
recently recognized the pressing need
of another church in the far northern
section of the city, and as they were
offered a splendid sum for their old
property they sold out and moved up to
their new location. They will continue
TO worship in the tent until the new
church is completed and ready for oc-
cuoancy.

A RARE KOLOKA.
Cape Made From Black Plumage Of
Extinct Birds.

One of the rarest and most valuable
feather clOaks, or kOlOkas, as they are
called by the natives, now existent on
the islands, is the one owned cOnjOint-
ly by the two Princes KaWananakOa
and kalanianaole as an Inheritance.
The cloak is a short cape reaching
TO just below the shoulders, similar to
those exhibited on the occasion of roy
al deaths or other important events
The difference lies in the fact that the
kOlOka of the princes is composed Of
brilliant black feathers while the more
ordinary ones have the body ground Of
yellow 90 feathers and the ornamen-
tauiOns in red
The koloka in question has the Orna-
mental crescents with which ii is dec
Grated composed of the yellow 90 plum

ufacture and aside from associations
the cape has an enormous value as a
curiO and would probably bring a big
sum from the British Museum or SINH
lar institutions if they secured the
chance of purchase. Such a contingency
is hardly likely to arise however as the
princes set much store by their swar-
thy kOlOka.
