their discharges all set forth at the

Their discharges show that they

Plot To Kill King,

Brussels, April TT appears
certain that the agitation of the
Socialists here was designed to
coincide with an attempt on the
life of King Leopold at Biarritz.
Fortunately the plot was frus-
trated on account of the fact that
His Majesty returned to Brussels
earlier than was expected in order
to reinforce the cause of order.
King Leopold went to Ostend
yesterday and returned to Brus-
sells last evening. His trip was
uneventful. Brussels is quiet
this morning. The Civic Guard
has been dismissed, the members
having gone to their homes at
quarter past | O'Clock.
The threatening aspect of a
mob near the Maison du Peup le
at II o'clock last night caused the
police and gendarmes to charge
it, with the result that five of the
demonstrators were wounded, one
Of whom will die from a bayonet
thrust in the back.
Sixteen arrests were made dur
ing the evening.

Department Will Not Heal.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Is.
sues are fairly Joined between the lieu
tenant general and the secretary Of
war. The troubles. which began long
ago under the Cleveland administra-
tion, have finally reached so critical a
stage that the compulsory retirement
of General Miles at an early date is an
open secret and is not denied at the
White House In explanation Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's position one Of his
close friends who unQuestiOnably
speaks by authority says:
1.-THE question is not personal one
between General Miles and Secretary
Root. At present Secretary Root has
on his shoulders heavie burden than
any other member Of the administra-
uon. No man less strong could carry 1t
at all, and now at the very time when
he requires the most loyal support of
every subordinate who wishes well to
the army and the nation he has to
spend much Of his strength in meeting
the opposition of the comrxl nding gen.
eral. If General Miles is retired. it will
be simply because after patient trial
President Roosevelt feels that on the
highest ethical grounds his retention
would work grave and lasting injustice
to the army as a whole.
LAS some of General Miles friends
have said that it would be unfair to re-
tire him it should be said in the first
place that he secured his promotion to
brigadier generalship only through
the similar forced retirement OF Gen
eral Ord, he himself being jumped over
u number of his senior officers into the
vacancy thus created, and in the Sec
Ond place that the only action of the
kind taken by President Roosevelt
since he has been in office was In the
case of Colonel Noyes, who was com.
pulsOrily retired after reaching the age
Of siXty-twO OH the recommendation Of
General Miles. In other words, the gen.
era has himself recommended and
profted by the very action which his
friends now fear may be taken at his
expense.
IF lie should go out before General
Brooke is retired. General Brooke, who
is General Miles senior both in service
and in age and who did gallant and dis
tinguishcd work as volunteer in the
civil war, would undoubtedly be put IN
his place as lieutenant general, as It is
known that the administration has
been very desirious of recognizing Cen
eral Brooke's long and faithful service.
General Brooke during the civil war
rendered equally meritorious service
with General Miles. General Brooke
was the first to obtain a commission,
and throughout the civil war he retain
ed his advantage. ending the war as
General Miles senior After peace
came General Miles was promoted over
General Brooke's head. As General
Brooke will necessarily hold the posi-
tion but Il brief period before his re.
tircincnt for age. General 5. NJ. b.
Young is likely to succeed General
Brooke. with General Chaffec's promo
tion to follow two years hence

BURNED
TO DEATH.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Haley, who re.
side on a farm near Mt. Cuba, came
to Wilmington on Saturday morning
and returned home late in the after.
noon to find that their eight year old
daughter, Ellen, whom they left we'll
and happy in the morning had bsen
burned to death. The painful and
sudden death of their little daughter
was a great shock to Mr.. and Mrs.
Haley. Both were almost complete
ly Frustrated by the scene which
awaited their arrival home.
Little Ellen wasan unusually bright
child for hcrlage and had been taccus-
toned to helping her mother great
deal around the house and in caring
for her younger brother and sister
Mr. Haley has stand in King
Street market and as usual early Sat
urday morning he and his wife left
their home with load of produce for
market. Mrs. Haley left her daughter
Ellen to take care of the two younger
children and look after the house.
Everything went along nicely with
the two children until noon. About
10 O'Clock Ellen started to get cinner
for her little sister and brother and
herself. In making preparations for
the meal, Ellen used coal oil to start
a fire in the stove. The oil was in a
can and the little girl got it too near
the fire.
The oil can exploded and set fire
to Elem s dress. In an instant she
was enveloped in flames. The other
two children became horror stricken
at the terrible sight, but they could
do nothing to relieve their unfortunate
sister Their screams, however brought
young boy to the scene who is en-
ployed around the place. He became
much frightened on seeing Ellen on
fire and ran half a mile to Mt. Cuba
for assistance.
A Mrs Elder went down from Mt.
Cuba to the farm as soon as possible
to render what assistance she could.
When she arrived Ellen was in dy-
ing condition, and died before medi.
cal aid could arrive. She was horribly
burned about the body and also the
face. Fortunately the Others were
not burned and there was but little
damage done to the house.
