The determination of the Crane
Army of the Republic to invite
General Miles to head their CRANE
parade at the encampment to be
held in Washington next October
is a source of serious annoyance
to the friends of the President.
Of course, General Miles is the
most distinguished member of the
G.. A. R. He is the most noted
survivor of the Civil War, since
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and d
number of others have passed
away. Coming from the people,
without the aid of a West Point
education, General Miles has at
tanned the highest rank in the
army and that, together with the
fact that he served shoulder with
the men of '60-'65, makes him dear
to the &. A. R but he is in dis
grace with the Administration.
Colonel President Roosevelt has
had occasion to scold him and
would have retired him had not an
influential delegation of Senators
and Representatives gone to the
White House and threatened to
blockade all legislation recon
mended by the President if he did;
and, being in the black books of
Colonel President Roosevelt, he
has no right to occupy position
of honor or importance in the G..
A. r. parade, and especially in
Washington. 1t is even limited
that if the General accepts the in
vitatlon the Colonel-Commander-
in-Chief will proIong his stay in
the West so that he will not be in
Washington on the day of the
great procession, but the time is
still distant and it is probable that
his better advised friends will not
allow him to SO seriously afront
the veterans during the time they
are guests in the nations capital.

they aggregated but $3.50, 100000.

stances it is not surprising that the

The reports received in Wash.
ington from the State of Utah are
much more encouraging than they
were some time ago and it is APP
parent that Senator Rawlins has
been doing some excellent work
for the party and for his seat in
the Senate. The absolute conf
dence expressed in the Utah situa-
ton by the Republicans early this
summer is a thing of the past, and
they now concede that there are
excellent chances for a return of
Mr.. Rawlins to the Senate and are
begging the Congressional Cam
paign Committee to come to their
assistance. The reports received
here indicate that Perry S. Heath,
who, as editor of one of the most
influential papers in the State, was
expected to accomplish Senator
Rawlin's defeat and carry the State
for his party, has sacrificed his in
fluence to his ambition. His I'M
dignifed struggle to succeed Sena-
tor Rawlins has lost him the re-
spect of the better class of the
people Of that State, and not only
has he ruined his own chances of
election to the Senate, but he has
seriously injured the prospects of
ais party and has probably insured
The return of Senator Rawlins.
The news is received with the ut
most satisfaction by the Democrats
n Washington who recognize in
Senator Rawlins an able exponent
If Democratic principles and a
representative of the par
y in the Senate.

MILES DENOUNCES ARMY Bull.
Threatens to Resign II 1t Passes
Statements Cause Interest,

Washington, March 21.-Gen. Nelson
A. Miles Thursday told the senate COM
mittee on military affairs that If the
bill introduced by Senator Hawley at
the instance of the war department
for the organization of general staff
for the army should become law he
would decline to longer hold his COM
mission. The reason he gave for the
statement is that the bill is utterly
subvcrsive of the interests of the mill
tary establishment, and he said he
would not be party to such a proceed
ing to the extent of even continuing to
hold the place.
The news of Gen. Miles statements
before the military committee of the
senate excited great interest at the
war department., and it is thought he
has exposed himself to military dis
cipline by his statements.
Washington, March 22.-The state
ments made Thursday by Gen. Miles
before the senate committee on mill
itary affairs were discussed by the
president Friday with a number of
his callers. There is little doubt
that these statements will ultimate
ly lead to Gen. Niles retirement by
the president. In discussing the
matter Friday with his callers,
among whom were senators and rep
resentatives, the president took the
position that the lieutenant general
of the army should entertain toward
his superiors the same respect that
he would expect and demand from
his subordinates.
No action will be taken by the presi-
dent until he reads the testimony
taken by the committee.
Gen. Miles said on Friday:
1.-THE newspapers have misquoted my
statements before the committee. did
not say would resign from the army II
the Root bill became law. did state to
one OF the senator's that might as well
go on the retired list II the measure under
consideration were enacted by congress.
This Is quite different from saying that
would resign. I have no intention to ask
Tor retirement. I do not expect to be
forced to make such request. That 10
something hear of periodically, but do
not fear such an action merely because I
expressed my views on pending legislation
TO congressional committee at its re-
quest. There is no crime in this, and shall
continue to exercise what believe my
right. and discharge what 1 feel to be my
duty, whenever the occasion presents it.
self l did not make the foolish statement
which has been attributed to me-a sort
OF boast that could name the favorltes of
the president and the adjutant general who
would be appointed under this new bill.'

the war revenue taxes and that for the
protection of the president of the
United States. The revenue bill was

jected and it was passed by vote of
So to IS.

GALE PROVES FATAL.
Two Men Killed ana Much propert,
Damaged by Windstorm In
Louisiana.

Crowley, La, March ga great
storm of wind swept through the
neighborhood Of Bayou Quene de Tor
tue, IL miles south Of Crowley, in Yer
million parish, Monday night, and re-
ports are coming in of great damage
done. AS far as known two men were
killed, Delmas Richard and man
named Stills. Bigue Abshire was SO
badly crushed that he will die. At the
residence of John c. Ellis, 10 miles
south Of Crowley, Richard was killed,
and Mr.. Ellis sister was considerably
bruised by falling timbers. The house
of Mr.. Burleigh was blown down, but
the family escaped with slight in
juries. About three miles from the
Ellis place Mr.. Donnelly's house was
blown from the foundation and the
stables were destroyed. At farm not
far from the Donnelly place man
named Stills was killed while trying to
escape from his home, which was COM
pletely wrecked, and three other mem
bers of the family were seriously in
jured. Twelve houses are reported as
totally demolished. Fruit trees were
torn out of the ground and destroyed.
It is thought there were several other

heavy.

THE MINERS.
Numerous Resolutions Are Adopted
by the Convention In Session
at Sham0kin.

Shamokin, Pa, March 21.-The most
important feature of Thursdays SEES
sion of the convention of districts Nos.
/, 2 and 9, United Mine Workers of
America, was the adoption at the after
noon session of several resolutions.
These were the result of various al
legged grievances announced in the con-
vention by the different delegations,
and were presented by the committee
on resolutions. Most of them were
of sectional, rather than general inter-
est, but their tone was not less en-
phatic. The first resolution adopted
demanded an eight-hour working day
in all the collieries of the anthracite
region. Others were adopted as fol-
lows:
Demanding the recognition of mine COM
mittees by operators in the adjustment Of
disputes resulting in local strikes; declar-
ing opposition to working with men not
members Of the mine workers union; IA
voring arbitration of trade disputes: pro-
viding for systematic examination Of
working cards; requesting the state bureau
of mines and mining to print not less than
1000 copies of the mining laws In the Eng
lish language for distribution among the
mine workers; condemning the system of
blacklisting by companies of discharged
employees.
Shamokin, Pa, March 25.-Unless
the efforts of the Civic Federation
are effective with the coal operators
it is more than likely that repeti-
ton of the struggle of 1900 will occur
in the anthracite region. In that
year 100000 employees of the anthra-
cite mines were on strike for six
weeks. The convention Monday Of
districts Nos. 1, and 9, United Mine
workers Of America, which districts
comprise the entire anthracite field,
made provisional strike declaration,
leaving the date to be- decided by the
executive boards Of the three dis
tricts. This was practically the last
official act of the delegates, and the
convention adjourned sine die at four
o'clock Monday afternoon.
