CHANGING SOME OLD RULES
President and Secretary Root Issue
0rders Creating Innovation in
War Department.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The president
has revoked the old executive order of
August 20, 1901, by which the lieutenant
general commanding the army General
Miles, and the adjutant general General
Corbin) in turn are to assume the duties
OF secretary Of war in the absence Of the
secretary and assistant secretary.
The presidents order OF revocation, which
is dated yesterday. leaves the department
without a head in the absence of the secre-
tsry and assistant secretary until such
head is specifically designated on each oc-
casion.
Both the secretary and assistant secretary
were absent today, but Secretary Root, be-
fore ne left this morning. issued a special
order designating his chief clerk. o c.
Schoheld, ito sign acquisitions upon the
treasury and other papers requiring my sig
nature during my temporary absence from
Washington on the 23d of May. 1902, and
until my return. or until the return Of The
assistant secretary Of war"
1t is presumed that similar special or
ders will be made designating Mr.. scho-
field to perform these duties whenever the
secretary and assistant secretary are abb
sent in the future.
Secretary Root has issued an order which
revives an old order Of January is, 1886
providing that In the absence of the head
OF a bureau, the senior oficer OF the de-
partment or corps on duty in the bureau
shall assume temporary charge. The sig
niheanee Of the order lies in the limitation
ION duty in the bureau"
Under the application Of this limitation
no ofieer on duty outside Of the bureau
could assume charge, as does Colonel Ward
Of General Miles headquarters in the case
OF the adjutant generals once. but Genera
Corbin's duties would ordinarily be as
sumed by Colonel Carter.

RACE WAR AT A COLLIERY
NEGRO MINERS FIRED ON BY DIS
SATISFIED TENNESSEEANS.
Notice in Red Ink First Posted Or
dering Blacks to Leave-Signed
with Skull and CrOssbOnes.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. 3.-Almost
a reign of terror exists i'm the vicinity of
the Milestone mine of the Cumberland Coal
Company, seventeen miles above Crossville
in Fentress county, this State. Some dis
satisfied miners and other men recently
posted notice signed with skull and cross
bones and in red ink warning the negroes
a few of whom are employed about the
mines and at the company store, to leave
at once. The negroes did not leave, and
the mob has twice fired into their cabins
The last time the negroes returned the fire
and the mob retreated. Sunday night the
mob attacked the cOmpany's commissary,
but William Nixon, son of Manager Nixon,
at the head of a number of white en-
ployes, charged the mob with Winchester
rifles and a fight ensued, the mob retreat
ing to the woods.
The situation has been reported to Adju-
tant General Brandon. who has promised
the company protection, and the Crossville
company of militia is ready to be called
out at any time 1t may be needed. Several
of the mob were arrested and taken be-
fore magistrates and released, the terri
fed negroes being afraid to appear as
prosecutors. The company officials say
they will certainly protect the negroes.

HE SIGNED MANY CHECKS
CLERK BRIsTOw'S TESTIMONY AT
THE TRIAL OF c. f. w. NEELY.
Method of Conducting the Business
of the Cuban Postal Depart-
ment Explained.

HAVANA, Feb. AT the hearing to-
day of the Cuban postal fraud cases Chief
Clerk Bristow testified at length regard
ing the method of conducting the business
of the Cuban postal department. Referring
to the difference between the two reports
sent 10 General Brooke, former military
Governor of Cuba, and to the postmaster
general Mr.. Bristow said he received data
from the heads of departments and COM
piled the reports therefrom; that these re-
ports were submitted to Estes C. Rathbone
for his inspection, and that the two reports
were compiled from the same sources of
information Many of the duplicate checks
on which the government contends money
was fraudulently obtained were signed by
Bristow in the absence Of Rathbone.
Bristow's cross-examination by counsel
for Rathbone was largely in reference to
this matter of check signing He said he
had only general instructions about signing
checks, and that the checks were presented
by G. r w Neely. He had no suspicion
that anything was wrong, he said, and
signed five checks for miscellaneous ac-
counts. abiding by the certihcation of NeeIy
that these were correct. In case OF doubt
he would have asked for vouchers. Bris-
tow said he signed one duplicate check for
81 200 and that in RathbOnes absence the
checks were indorsed by himself for Rath-
bone
During his cross-examination Bristox
further explained that the checks were not
taken 10 the bank by himself or by Rath-
bone, and that Rathbone did not send any
body to the bank with them. He said the
custom was TO send the checks back 10
Neely's department.
