MILES Is MENTIONED NOW.
VII Rank Dewey II Both Go Abroad
for St Louis Fair.

II has been virtually decided to place
Admiral Dewey at the head OF the special
commission Of three members that wiz
be sent to Europe 10 arouse more ac-
tive interest IN the St Louis Worlds
Fair than is now being nantes ~ by
many OF the Old World nations. VINO .be
other two members viii be is not known
though it is not unlikely that TO General
Miles viii be rendered a position on the
commission. In that event OF course the
Admiral Of the Navy would not be the
chairman Of the commission. as he is
ranked IN the military service by the
Lieutenant General Of Army. and the es-
tabllshed rule Of seniority would work
IN this as in all other cases where Off
GERS Of the army and navy are brought to-
gether IN the performance Of public or
semi-pubIic duties.
The commission was asked for by Presi-
dent David R. Francis and Director Adol-
phus Busch, Of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. when they were in Washing
ton last week.
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay.
It is understood. readily adopted the sug-
gesilOn OF the exposition officials. and in
timated that Mr.. Francis should head the
commission. To this Mr.. Francis object
ed, on the ground that his presence was
constantly needed IN ST. Louis. where he
could direct the active work Of prepara-
ton for the big fair. and he urged Presi-
dent Roosevelt TO give the commission
such a personnel as would readily appeal
to the courts Of Europe that viii be Wis
tied.
Ii appears that several European Gov
ernments, notably Austria and Russia.
have practically declined 10 participate in
the exposition. giving as the excuse for so
doing that they viii not have time 10 pre-
pare suitable exhibits II the fair Is opened
on schedule time, May, 1908. Unless there
is a full representation Of the European
nations there viii be another strong rea-
son for pOstpOning the opening OF the ex-
position for a year. which Is being strong
ly urged by a large element of the direc-
tory. Mr. Busch, who is chairman Of the
fairs foreign committee insisted when
here that pOstponement for a year has -
ready been shown 70 be advisable. II not
absolutely necessary.
II is the belief OF Mr.. Francis. however.
that the special commission which the
President viii send 20 Europe viii accom-
plish everything needed TO bring all tie
European countries into line for the fair

The next commander OF the Department
Of the Potomac. Grand Army Of the Re-
public, vi be Senior Vice Commander
y. f. Bingham, Of the Treasury Depart
ment. This prediction can safely be
made. because Comrade Bingham is a
candidate for the piece, is popular with
the membership OF the organization, and
he has no opposition. That Mr.. Bingham
fought brayely during the civil war is
attested by the fact that he carries an
empty coat sleeve. his left arm having
been lost on the field Of battle. He en-
listed In the I22d New York Volunteers
and took part in many battles and Skin
mishes. AT the second battle Of Bull
Run he was slightly wounded
When General Lee invaded Maryland
Mr.. Bingham was in the army led by Gen.
George b. Mcclellan. which marched 10
head of Lee from getting too far North.
He was at Antietam. and when Early
made his raid In an attempt 10 capture
Washington. Mr.. Bingham. with the rest
Of the Sixth Army Corps under Gen. ID.
y. COnch. was hurriedly despatched to
the National Capital for its defence. He
also fought against the foe In the battle
Of Fort Stevens. where President Lincoln
stood on the paTapet during the firing
and Sergeant Bingham was not far from
the President. He also took part ia the
pursuit Of Early as he rCtreated up the
Valley Of Virginia and was In all the
battles that were fought during that cam
paign.
Later he was in the various battles
around Petersburg. Va. and in a charge
was so severely wounded In the left arm
as 10 necessitate its amputatiOn. After
peace was declared he was appointed
through the influence OF Captain D. r.
Bingham, a Union refugee from Alabama
a clerk IN the Treasury Department. and
here he has served. more than thirty
six years.
In che meanwhile Mr.. Bingham has re-
ceived several promotions and advance
ments and his present position Is that Of
clerk IN the Office OF Auditor ID the
Treasury for the Interior Department.
He IS a member Of Lincoln Post. G.. 4. r,
and has served as it's commander.
OF one thing Mr.. Bingham is especially

BURLINGTON GOES AFTER
SUBURBAN BUSINESS

4 move has been made by the Bur-
lington road at Galesburg in its COM
petition for the suburban business
between that city and Abingdon. Su-
perintendent +. c. Rice. of the Illinois
lines of the Burlington, announced
yesterday that within two or three
weeks an hourly railway service be-
tween Galesburg and Abingdon will
be inaugurated by his road. An en-
CINE and one car will be run ON the
same schedule as the Knoxville street
railway system, and Mr.. Rice hopes
to make arrangements with the
Galesburg street car system by which
passengers brought in from the coun-
try will be able to secure transfers
from the Burlington suburban train
TO the street ears and be taken away
to any part of the city.
The Burlington intends to build an
electric system of its own in compe-
tition to the Knoxville interurban
line and this hourly railway service
is to be conducted till the system is
built.

IMPROVEMENTS
FOR THE LOWER RIVER

The Improvement of the lower Mis-
sissippi * of great Importance to the
river interests of this section. While
the river traffic of the upper Missis-
sippi * small compared with what it
has been i'm the past. and while the
decline of the northern pine indus
try is further reducing it. there is
business here for the lower river,
and, i'm the opinion of all experienced
river men. the day is coming when
that traffic is sure to increase; when
the advantages of the Mississippi as
a channel for the handling of large
freight cargOes viii be better appre-
ciated than il is now i'm this part of
the country, and when shipments
from Rock Island and other upper
