ROOSEVELT AND THE TRUSTS.
The London Times Has an Editorial on
the subject-What Austria Frankly
Assumes.

London, Aug. 27.-The Times THU
morning publishes an editorial arti
Gle discussing President Roosevelt's
decision to appeal from party wire
pnllers to the people on the trust
question. The paper says:
"rhis is bold decision if Presi.
dent Roosevelt is ambitious of a Sec
ond term, but he is shrewd as well
o. courageous. We cannot, however,
venture to form judgment of his
chances OF success against the
strong forces arrayed on the oppo-
site side. The American people
themselves have no very clear ideas
on this subject and their political
prophets are all at sea in their
speculations.
ut is interesting to observe that
In Austria it is frankly assumed
that Mr.. Roosevelt's object is to
throw protecting shield over the
capitalist and that his attacks on
the trusts are regarded with suspi-
cion by american protectionists.
"The result of the struggle be-
tween craving for protection and
impatience of monopoly will soon
be visible in the United States and
Mr. Roosevelt, apparently, will have
credit for having raised a great is
sue with conspicuous fearlessness."

CHICAGO'S BAD WATER.
The Board Of Education VIII Shut the
Supply on and Children VIII Have
to Go Without,

Chicago, Aug. 27.--Because of the
poor condition Of the city water sup
ply the board Of education decided
yesterday that it would be necessary
to shut off the water supply from
all Of the public schools when they
open next Tuesday. The commit.
tee having the matter under consid-
Grafton hopes that matters can be
improved before the schools open,
but II this cannot be done the water
will be shut off. Pupils desiring a
drink Of water during school hours
will be compelled to bring bottle
Of boiled water from their homes or
go without. An unlimited use of
the water would, the members Of
the board fear, cause an epidemic
of typhoid fever among the pupils.

The General Commanding the Army

IS NOT TO DIRECT ARMY AFFAIRS.
Cen. Miles Will Critically Examine Condi.
lions ~ He Finds Them and viii EN-.
body His Opinions In Rsports-WMi
Return by Way Of Europe

Washington, Aug. 27.-President
Roosevelt's order to Gen. Miles to
visit the Philippines reached the war
department in the mail yesterday
Gen. Miles Is instructed to proceed
about September Is to the Philip
pines to inspect the army there with
reference to instruction, discipline
and supplies" 1t is the understand
ing that in that capacity, though Of
superior rank, Gen. Miles will not in
terfere in any way with either Gen.
Chaffee or his successor, Gen. Davis,
in the direction Of the army In the
Philippines. He will critically ex-
anime the conditions as he finds
them, devoting his attention entirely
to matters Of army administration
and not to political affairs and the
results Of his work will be embodied
in a set Of reports. It Is believed
here that he will be accompanied by
two members Of his staff, namely,
Lieut.. Col. Whitney and Col. Reber,
the latter his soR-in-law. Col. Maus,
who is inspecting officer Of the staff,
also may accompany Gen. Miles II
his health, which Is somewhat i'm
paired at present, permits.
II developed that Gen. Miles ap-
pHcation to 60 to the Philippines
was Of comparatively recent date and
WAS In no way connected with his
application Of several months ago.
When the first application was made
II was coupled with certain sug-
sestions as to terminating the war,
and Secretary Roots refusal to grant
The first request was based largely
upon these phases Of the application.
II view Of this, It is understood that
Gen. Miles restricted his second ap-
plication so as to make the trip one
for purely military purposes. AL
though the text Of the application
was not given out at the war depart
ment, 1t Is said that one of its fea-
lures is request that the return
from the Philippines be by way Of
the eastern route. As the applica-
tion Is approved, Gen. Miles will re-
turn by this route, which insures his
visiting Europe on his way back to
America.
II is expected that Mrs. Miles will
accompany the general to the Phil
ippines and 1t may be that his mar
ricd daughter, who is the wife OF
Col. Reber, one of the generals
aides, also will accompany the party.
The general will return to-day from
bis New England trip, when his plans
will be more fully made known,

rRArERNAL CONGRESS.
Representatives Of the Insurance Orders
Of the United States and Canada Meet
In Annual Convention,

Denver, Col, Aug. 27.-The Nation
al Fraternal congress, the central or
ganization Of the fraternal and in
surance orders of this country ant
Canada, met in annual convention
here Tuesday, President W. A. War
ner, M. D., of Topeka, Kan, presid
ing. There are over 800 accredited
delegates in attendance. Fifty-sever
fraternal societies held membership
in the congress and the highest Of.
fcials of more than so Of these are
attending the convention.
The annual report Of President
Ed L. Young, Of the National Frater-
nal Press association, was largely
devoted to the action Of Third As
sistant Postmaster General Madden
in excluding fraternal publications
containing advertisements from the
mails as second-class matter. Many
speeches were. made denouncing this
construction Of the law.
The medical section Of the con-
gress was called to order by Presi-
dent M. r. Brown, M. D., Of Chicago.
Interesting among the papers read
was one by DR.. O. Willard, Of the
Knights Of the Loyal Guard, Of Flint,
Mich, on Mortality and Its Costs"
He reported the National Fraternal
congress experience table to show a
death rate Of 40 years Of 1879 per
cent, starting with 100000 lives at 20
years. As to this table, DR.. Willard
said;
II am constrained to call the at
tention Of this body TO the fact that
our table shows at the age Of 40
that the mortality has increased
about three per cent. over that of
tables that have been standard any
where In the United States or Can
ada, except In tropical experience,
for long time"
DR.. Millard suggested as o prob
able cause the "hustle and lodge
system, with the desire to increase
membership, and at the same time
the payment by the fraternal soci-
cites Of about one-third that paid
by old line companies to their medi-
cal examiners for like amount Of
work."
DR.. Willard closed with an elabo-
rate and carefully prepared table Of
The costs of mortality.
J. G. Johnson, Of Peabody, Kan,
president Of the law section, made
many valuable suggestions in his an
,ual report on legal questions affect
ng fraternal societies.
