OLD ORDER REVOKED
To prevent Miles From Acting as
Secretary Of War.

Washington, May 24.-The president has
revoked the old executive order of August
29, 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 the assistant secretary. The presi-
dents order of revocation leaves the de-
partment without a head in the event of
the absence of the secretary and assistant
secretary, unless such head is specifically
designated on each occasion. Both the
secretary and assistant secretary were alb

mating his chief clerk, John SchOfield, to
sign acquisitions upon the treasury and
other papers requiring my signature dur
ing my temporary absence from W ASH

my return or until the return of the as
sistant secretary of wary
It is presumed that similar special Or
ders will be made designating MIR. 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, 1885, providing that in the absence of
the head of a bureau the senior officer
of the department or corps on duty in the
bureau shall assume temporary charge.
The significance of the order lies m
the limitation ION duty in the bureau. -
Under the application of this limitation,
no officer on duty outside of the bureau
could assume charge as does Colonel Ward
of General Miles headquarters, but Cen
eral COrbin's duties would ordinarily be
assumed by Colonel Carter.
