GEN. MILES PHILIPPINE TRIP
THE ORDER DIRECTING HIM TO
 GO TO THE ISLANDS.

Shows That Authority to Inspect the
 Forces Had Been Asixed--Appiicatfon
 Approved by tho President--gesides
 Inspecting He is Instructed to Give
 Attention to Army's Instructiop, D.s-
 cipiine and to suppIiesof All Kinds
 Washington, Aug. 26.-The war de- partment this afternoon gave out the order issued to Lieutenant General Miles to go to the Philippines. It is signed by William Cary Sanger acting secretary of war, and is as follows:
 "War Department, August 26, 1902.
 'Sir: I have the honor to state that your application for authority to inspect that portion of the army serving in the Philippines is approved by the presi- dent. You will sail about the 18th of September and in inspecting the con- ditions of the arfny&will give attention to it's instruction, discipline and to sup plies of all kinds"
 It developed that General Miles ap- plicat tion to go to the Philippines was of comparatively recent date and was in no way connected with his applica- tion of several months ago. When the first application was made it was coupled with certain suggestions as to terminating the war, and Secretary Roots refusal to grant the first request was based largely upon these phases of the application.
 In view of this it is understood that General Miles restricted his second ap- plication so as to made the trip one for purely military purposes Although the text of the application was not given out at the war department it is said that one of it's features is request that the return from the Philippines be by way of the eastern route As the appIi- cation is approved, General Miles will return by this route, which insures his visiting Europe on his way back to America.
 It Is expected that Mrs. Miles will accompany the general to the Philip pines and it may be that his married daughter, who is the wife of Colonel Rober, one of the generals aides, also will accompany the party. The gener- al will return tomorrow from his New England trip when his plan will be more fully made known.

D RECT HAL wINssto,o 900 STAKE
Compelled to Lower Ills Record to
 2:0A Ia4 A Great Race.


 Providence, R. T., Aug. 26.--The cli- max of sensational pacing races was reached in the great Park Brew $10,000 stake at Narragansett Park this after noon. Ed. Geers piloted Direct Hal to victory in three straight heats, but the black stallion's record was lowered from 2:06 fiat to 2:04 IA. The second heat set the pace that kills. Scott Hud- son made rush down the stretch with Twinkle and would have beaten any, body but Geers. It was such drive home that Twinkle went off her feet and broke almost under the wire while Direct Hal won in 2:04 1-4. The last half was paced in 1:01 fiat with the last quarter in 29 seconds. Twelve thousand people saw the race and they went wild with enthusiasm. There was slight mix-up in the first heat. Scott Hud- sons sulkey wheel was smashed and he was left outside the flag. He lodged complaint against Geers, but the judges found the latter to be some distance away when the accident happened. They let Twinkle stay in the race how ever. Direct Hal was driven straight out and won the first heat in 2:06 1-2 His most formidable opponent was his half brother Prince Direct They team ed to the half but Geers drove in front when he wanted that place. It was Scott Hudson that tried conclusions with Direct Hal in the second heat but Twinkle could not hold the pace and broke almost at the wire. Twinkle broke again in the third heat and Di- rect Ha! won hands down in 2:05 flat. Summary:

A TRAGEDY IN SOUTHlNGTON
WILLIAM GOODRICH ATTEMPTS
 TO KILL HIS TWO SISTERS.


 Own Hsart-His Act Prompted by Jealousy of Attentions Paid to His Sister Celia by William Francis Emptied His Revolver and Then Re. loaded 1t.
 Southington, Aug. 26.-Jealous of the attentions being paid to his sister Celia by young man named William Fran cis. Edward Goodrich late this after noon attempted to take the life of the young woman and also that of an older sister, Mrs. Henry Morgan. In both instances he was unsuccessful He then turned the revolver on himself and put bullet through his heart.
 For some time past young Goodrich had been worrying about his sister and was extremely jealous of the attentions paid her by Francis. This afternoon he left his work and went home, where Celia was keeping house for him, and without any warning pulled 32-calibre revolver from his pocket and fired at the girl point-blank s'x times. His aim was poor and only two shots took effect, and these did little damage. One struck the girl in the shoulder and the other in the hand. He then hurried to the room of his other sister, Mrs. Henry Morgan, and, evidently unaware. that he had emptied the revolver, pointed it at the woman and pulled the trigger. Upon discovering that the revolver was empty he hurried to his bedroom and filled the chambers. When he reap peared in the room of his sister she had disappeared. He then placed the muz- gle of the revolver over his heart and pulled the trigger. The bullet went through the middle of his heart, and Goodrich dropped to the floor dead.
 Goodrich was twenty-nine years old and was employed as a polisher at the factory of Peck, Stow & Wilcox com- pany. He had always been an indus trious young man and had good habits. He furnished home here some time ago and brought his sisters from Glas- tonbury to live with him. It is believ- ed that he became temporarily insane and committed the deed when in that condition. Goodrich's parents live in Glastonbury.
