The republican friends of Gen. Miles
have started a campaign with the object
of persusding President Roosevelt to
retire Lieut.. Gen Miles for insu bordi-
nation, Instead of allowing him to serve
unti August, 1903, when he will retire by
operation Of law.
Yesterday afternoon Senators Hale,
hoar, McComss, and Allison, all personal
friends OF Geu. Miles, as we'll as OF
President Roosevelt, called at the w bite
place.
These senators pointed out to the Presi.
dent that 1t would be grave mistake for
him to rebuke the conouct of Gen. Miles
In the manner indicated; that 1t would
create another Sampson-Schiey contro-
versy; cause bad feeling IN Congress; in
juriously affect the discipline aud esprit
da corps of the army, and, above alt, thst
II would seriously enuanger the success OF
the repu biican party at The coming con
gressional elections.
President Roosevelt was somew hat
sstonished at the earnestness with which
the case Was laid before him. He agreed.
however, 1t lis said, to the pieHdIugs Of
tue senators TO the extent OF assuring
them that no action should be taken be-
fore Secretary Roofs urn from Cube
winch Will be about the first of May.
The President agreed iuliy with the
senators thst the situation was very EN-
bsrrsssiug. lie was rs anxious to avoid
a Rooseve l. Miles controversy as he Was
TO end tue Sampson Schiey dispute. The
President told the senators, however, that
he should make 1t condition prect dent
To his suspension of judgment that Gen.
Nj iler should at once CEASE mis- attacks on
the army and those la control.
Ii Is said that Gen. Miles has himself
made overtures for peace 10 I he President.
some days ago be wrote TO Mr.. Roosevelt,
IL is claimed, for personal interview log
the purpose of talking over bis case.
To this the President, ii Is said, re-
piled that II Gen. Miles would set forth
his reasons for asking the interview aud
just what be wanted 10 say, IL would
then be determined whether the request
would be grauted. IL IL not known
whether Gen. Mics has replied to this
offer, but 1t is generally thought that the
answer was the call of the repu biiean
senators at the White House - Washing
ton Times.

The debate on Cuban reciprocity
has been interesting and instructive.
General Grosvenor in a very able
speech gave notice that the time was
not distant when a general revision of
some of the Dingley schedules would
become necessary, and grew eloquent
in his peroration when he announced
that the principles of protection were
greater than any single tariff bill, and
the acumen of the party too great to
be chained to duties which had out
lived their usefulness. His speech
produced great effect on the younger
members. The fate of the bill in the
Senate is still in doubt, but the pres
sure from outside is increasing and,
while some of the opponents of the
bill have been talking of delaying
legislation until too late for consider.
alton in the Senate at this session, the
warning has come from the senators
that such course would be met by
their attaching Cuban reciprocity
clause to some appropriation bill.

We give in our news columns a
summary of what has taken place
during the past week relating to the
two schemes that are just now of alb
sorbing interest in this vicinity-the
Ellsworth Castjne electric railway
and the development Of the Union

nothing more can be said, but the
hope is profound that nothing may
happen to prevent the realization of
the plans that mean so much for this

"spring, spring, gentle spring" hes
not been in mild mood this season, sc-
cordfng to local calendars. Noswith-
standing, the verdurs OF the trees is well
advanced, the parks are green and the
flower plots are gsy With early blossoms.
Other sure indications, seen weeks sEo,

skipping rope and small boys playing
marbles.
Ii has been comfortable time for
sight seeing, and the number OF excur-
sionists in the city is said TO exceed that
OF any other seasons record, outside OF
some unusual attraction. The models of
the Gen. Grant statue in the basement of
Corcoran art gallery have attracted
many. The award OF $50 900 called out
over a score of models by as many first
class artists. The committee announced
their decision Monday, leaving many
disappointed sspirants. All the designs
we're meritorious. A force of workmen
commenced Tuesday to take down the
models, preparatory to an exhibit OF
models for 1 be statue OF Gen. Mcclellan.

dition of the foreign commerce of the
United States. The chief reduction
in our exports can be traced to the
destruction OF our corn crop by the
droUth Of last year. Corn ras become
so important a factor In our export
trade, both in its natural state and in
the condensed form OF beef and pork,
that loss of one fourth or one third
OF the enormous crop means a great
reduction in the surplus. In the last
four years the expectation of corn
has averaged about 29o, 900, 900 bushels
per annum. In the present fiscal
year it will not amount TO one fifth of
that quantity.

Considerable interest is felt as to
the effect which the removal of the
tea import duties will have upon the
consumption of that article in the
United States. The import figures
covering the period since the imposi-
ton of an import duty upon tea Dune
10, 1sss) do not. justify the assertion
frequently made some years since
that small tax would increase the
consumption of tea by insuring bet
ter qualities. The average annual
importation of tea since the enact
ment OF the law which placed duty
upon tea has been but about $1,000
900 pounds, while the average during
the preceding three years was about
9s, 900, 600 pounds per annum.

Apropos OF the report that the new fish
hatchery at Moosehesd lake is 10 be used
in an endeavor to stock Maine waters
with land-locked salmon, the Waterviile
Mail puts in a plea for the square-tailed
trout, arguing that the same eff ,rt and
money expended In the culture OF the lat
ter would result more satisfactorily in
every way. There are many fishermen In
Hancock county who VIII hold up both
hands in favor OF the Mails suggesii ion
II will not require very long search TO
ind old fishermen who declare, the
opinions of experts to the contrary not
9ithstsnding, that good trout ponds have
been spoiled by the planting OF salmon.
In this vicinity, Green lake and Branch
pond are natural salmon ponds, and the
fish grow to immense size. True, there
are trout, and big ones, In these lakes,
but the lakes are principally salmon
waters. Upper and lower Patterns pond,
on the other hand, are natural trout
ponds, and men who have fished there
for years, and compare the past with the
present conditions, believe the introduce
ton Of salmon to be the reason for the
falling of OF trout fishing.
