NILES VISIT TO MANILA.
TO BE Made Under n New and Re.
vised Application.


vised Application.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-It has
developed that General Miles applica-
ton to 90 to the Philippines was Of
comparatively recent date and was in
no way connected with his applica-
ton of several months ago. When the
first application was made, it was
coupled with certain suggestions as
to terminating the war, and Secretary
Roots refusal to grant the first re-
quest was based largely upon these
phases of the application.
In view Of this it is understood that
General Miles restricted his second
application 50 as to make the trip
one for purely military purposes. AL
though the text of the application was
not given out at the war department,
it is said that one of its features is a
request that the return from the Phil
ipplnes be by way of the eastern
route. AS the application is approved
General Miles will return by this route,
which insures his visiting Europe OH
his way back to America.
1t is expected that Mrs. Miles will
accompany the general to the Philip
pines and it may be that his married
daughter, who is the wife of Colonel
Reber, one of the generals aids, will
also accompany the party. When the
general returns from his New England
trip, his plans will be more fully made
known.

To Study the Steel Trukt.

BERLIN, Aug. 27.-The object OF
the journey Of Count Won Thiele-
Winckler, mine owner and prominent
German tinancier, to the United States
in September is specifically to study
the United States Steel corporation.
The count takes with him two or three
experts, and he may be regarded as an
expert himself since he is practical
iron man, though no chimney baron"
as the German nobility sneexingly
characterize the newly ennobled bssi-
ness men. Count Won Thiele- Winckler
has asked the managers of the United
States Steel corporation for an oppor-
tunity to really study its organization
and details of administration at first
hand, and the count has been Informed
through the Deutsche bank, which
made the inquiry, that he would have
every facility for so doing, and a tour
has been sketched out for him and sug-
gestions have been made as to how he
could best accomplish his mission.
