TINE MERE MATTER OF POLICY
May Not Await Adjournment
of Congress.
GENERAL YOUNG TO SUCCEED
Taking Supreme Command in the Line
Present Head of Army Speaking at
Charlottesville Today.

It was learned jais morning from =
source Of unquestioned authority that the
President has definitely decided to retire
Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles under the
provision OF the law which permits the
Chief Executive to place on the retired
list any officer who has served fOrty-fve
years. or who has reached the age of
siTty-two.
The date OF the PRONUNCIATION OF the or
der removing General Miles from the
active list is the only question that has
not yet been determined. The President
is now inclined to postpone action in the
matter until after the adjournment OF
Congress, although he may decide to is
sue the order within the next few days
The Presidents Attitude.
The feature Of General Miles recent
correspondence regarding his Phii- .; me
proposition that the President mos dis
liked was the charge that the operate as
of the American army in the Philip mes
had been conducted with marked 81 YER
ity." The President feels that this is a
reflection not only upon the officers who
have been conducting those operations.
but upon he Administration itself. es-
PecialIy as the Lieutenant General failed
10 adduce any evidence to substantiate
his allegations
Since the publication OF the CORE
spondence in question ;he President has
been reading the newspapers closely. en-
deavoring to get the drift Of public opin-
ion. He has reached the conclusion that
il General Miles should remain much
longer in active service, in view OF the
difference between him and the Secretary
OF War. a repetition in the army Of a
scandal similar to the Schley controversy
IN the navy might reasonably be expected.
BY retiring General Miles. it is thought,

In Line Of Succession.
The successor Ct General Miles will
probably be Cen. :. B. NJ. Young. who is
now president Of the War College Il is
understood that General Macarthur could
have the position. but that he does not
care for IL. As a matter Of form. it may
be offered 10 him before It is given to

General Miles is at Charlottesville. Va,
today. attending the jefferson memorial
and the Interstate Good Roads COnTen-
tion. with his aide-de-camp. Lieut.. Col.

The NEED OF CEREAL PRODUCING
TERRITORY. - z

In his speech in Chicago last night Sec
rotary of the Treasury Shaw remarked
that the average annual cereal product of
Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa has increased
only per cent since 1880, whereas, dur
ing the preceding decade, these three
states made a gain of sc per cent, "ind1-
eating very clearly that the maximum
capacity under present methods of agri-
culture has been nearly attained" A
new country is always a cereal country
AS it grows old and land values increase
the tendency is toward less attention to
cereals. Minnesota and the Dakotas have
about reached their limit in wheat pro-
duction if, indeed they have not begun a
permanent decline. The great, new cereal
Of the continent lies
north of the international boundary line.
The demand for free admission of Cana
dian wheat is one that will grow much
faster than our population. At the pres
ent time we can make a good reciprocity
trade with the Canadians whereby our
manufacturing interests will get substan-
tial returns for the removal of the duty
on wheat Later on, when we must have
Canadian wheat, our necessity may be SO
pressing that the Canadians will not care
to trade tariffs with u.s.

TONNAGE TAX

State Auditor Dunn generally knows
much concerning what he talks about.
Hence there is presumption in favor of
giving careful consideration to his re-
marks on public questions. Mr.. Dunn's
statement in opposition to the tonnage
tax is very forcible and rea-
sonable, and will have great
influence with the legislature. He makes
a very strong case against the justice of
such a system SO far as concerns the 10
cal communities in which the mines are
located. AS we said yesterday the sys-
tenn Is, on it's face, equitable. 1t involves
substantially the principle Of the income
tax. The mining companies would be
taxed according to their output, which
would be about the same thing as ac-
cording to their income. When the mines
were idle there would be no taxes. But
the system is not so equitable viewed
from the standpoint of the local commu-
mites. They must continue to preserve
order, maintain schools and perform 9th
er governmental functions whether the
mines run or not. But under the tonnage
tax system they would, as Mr.. Dunn
shows. be almost penniless when the
mines were not running, since the latter
are so large a part of the assessed valu-
alton of the small political subdivisions.
II the mines should run right along, or
there should be no great variation In the
output, the tonnage tax system would not
he subject to this criticism. But the
mines have been closed for long periods
and such periods may come again.

Jan Kubelik at the Metropolitan

after the Paganini, secured the playing of
Schumann's 'Traumerei'' with wonderful
beauty and delcacy. Six times was the vio-
linst called back after the Sarasate number,
and then he played the haunting ''Serenade'
by Piernet At the close Of the program,
still a third encore was insisted on, and this
time Wieniawskis Russian Airs enbody
ing the mournful Russian folh-sorg, Die
Rothe Sarafan' was played, with beWildering
variations in the widest bowling from the G
string to The harmonics in atissimo, and
harmonlcS, to use, slang phrase, were
Kubelik's ''long suit They were, most
marvellous in their brilliancy and toral eff
fects, and only daring violinist would at
tempt them with such abandon. Not once
during the entire evening did the little i'd
der smile, save when large bunch Of white
and red roses, tied with white and red, the
Bohemian colcrs, were rendered him from
his Compatriots many of whom were present
Scarcely short of the playing of the great
vioinist himself was the accompanying OF
Rudolph Friml. His sole effort and aim
seemed to be to round out and complete the
orchestral effects necessary to the accom-
paniment of the violin. His own personality
was completely obliterated. Never once did
be falter; not once was he lacking. Did the
plaintive wall Of the violin need the support
of an indicated harmony, it was there with
the greatest delicacy and with just the proper
shade of tone. Was the full crash of the
orchestra necessary to throw the meaning OF
a phrase into proper prominence, the crash
came and one did not miss the orchestra, for
the presence of the piano It We're impos
sbe to speak praise to high for his per-
Torrance.
Miss Jessie Shay, the solo pianist of the
evening, pleased the audience by her playing
| OF Raff's "Rigaudon," MOsZkoWski's Double
Note Study" and the Twelfth RhapsodIe
Hongroise' by List. The last earned for
her double recall, when she played Chop
in stNocturne. Miss Shay plays with de-
cision, and technical precision that shows
evidence Of thorough training. -.- 81 s.-s
To-night's program will include the Wieni

Charles G. Bovey shows in figures
quoted in the Northwestern Miller that
the discrimination in favor of foreign
millers. made by the American railroads,
amounts to seven cents a barrel. The dis
elimination is made by charging rs cents
more for transporting a hundred pounds
OF flour from Minneapolis to New York
than for a hundred pounds Of wheat. 1t
is hard to justify this, discrimination. The
railroads will get all the freight anyway,
whether it goes as flour or wheat, and II
it goes as flour it will tend to build up
the country from which they draw their
freight. Competition is so close nowadays
and profits are reduced to such low mar
gin that discrimination Of seven cents
barrel is enough to ruin q great business.
It is good news that the millers have made
up their minds to put forth their best
efforts to destroy this discrimination. How
handy it weuld be now to have an inter-
state commerce commission with real
rate regulating power. a.
