Lieut.. Gen. Miles opposed this bill. He
pointed out that;- under the section of
which Gen. Miles complained. the lieu
tenant general would have greatly. en-
larged powers i'll army management. i'll
stead of being restricted in his func-
tons, as he supposed.
Gen. Miles testimony created a good
impression on the committee and his
earnestness had evidently considerable
influence. 1t is possible the statement
made by Gen. Miles that he could name
the officers who are likely to be select.
ed for the new places under the bill will
arouse the ire of Mr.. Roosevelt. The
statement was made without the knowl-
edge that it would be repeated. but it be-
came known to Secretary Root aud the
President and led to n good deal of COM
ment in the War Department.
Gen. Miles, in opposing the idea of
general staff, controlled by civilians,
claimed part of the credit for the victory
of the American army Mt Santiago, de-
claring he ordered Shafter to move from
Tampa to Santiago. and it was because
of his orders that Skaters army arrived
so soon. He told the incident to show
that, had he been compelled to wait for

delayed in leaving Tampa.
Lieut.. Gen. Miles had been summoned
expressly to give his opinion upon the
Root bill. which provides for the consol-
idation of the luartermastcr generals
and commissary generals departments
into one supply bureau, and which also
creates general staff. Gen. Miles sub
mitted to the committee typewriter
statement in which he declared that the
Root bill was subversive of the military
establishment, and he had no hesitation
in declaring that the measure would
render it impossible for him to continue
to hold the Office of lieutenant general in
command with due respect to the dignity
Of his position. Gen. Miles read his type
written statement to the committee.
which accepted it as an official criticism.
The stenographer present was directed
by Senator Quarles to omit IL good deal
Of the testimony which followed the
reading of the statement. This was be-
cause Gen. Miles wished to have the
statements he made regarded as conf
DENTAL. He did not hesitate to describe
! the bill as one calculated to increase the
confusion of the military administration
and Mt one time he stated that the eff.
feet of the bill would be to enable the
authorities to reward their favoritcs. He
made the assertion that he could name
the officers who were likely to he ap

Office of major general and that of briga

the pending measure.
Gen. Miles was 62 years old last Au

it is strongly intimated that this viii

unpleasant for Gen. Miles. A suggcs

dent that he should retire the lieutenan

MAKING TUNNEL ENDS MEET.

How the Great simplon Tunuel Is De.
ing Dug from Both Ends.
1t is quite apparent that to dig . tun-
uel from two sides and make both ends
meet is delicate problem. Should
they happen not to meet. 1t would be an
expensive wandering in the mountain
to find them and get them together. But
fortunately there is guide as true and
1nbendable as mathematics. This is an
imaginary straight line between two
points. One point is a little observatory
shed on the bank of tie Rhone, with q
spyglass pointing horizontally towards
Italy. The other point is similar lit
tie observatory on the bank of the Do
Seria in Italy, with glass toward
Switzerland. Between the two points
Uses the Simplon mountain-mass. But
.Sa straight line goes through just the
'frse. for it is only an imaginary
straight line. 1t is, however, steadily
turning into a reality-that is, the tun-
aeL And If 1T were not for the grade
IF the tunnel, then some. day the OBJ
iervatory in Switzerland could look
through the mountain at the observa-
tory in Italy. 1t will be objected, how
ever, that we went around curve in
the tunnel. In fact, there are two
curves, but they do not affect the
straight-line proposition.
There is a small tunnel which joins
the main tunnel some hundred meters
Or 100 yards inside. 1t is called the 10.
eating tunnel and faithfully follows the
imaginary straight line. The main tun.
/ nel finishes its curve at this 100-meter
point and thence continues along the
straight line to the corresponding curve
at the other end, where again the
straight line is completed by a second
4 locating tunnel.
The simplon tunnel, says Eugene p.
Lyle in Everybody's Magazine, is being
1 ,ut by means of rock-drills, which bore
their full length. u yard and half, every
l5 minutes. Nine of these holes are
nade; each is charged with dynamite.
The dynamite splinters the rock out
.leanly.t to the depth of the holes. Then
The debris is hauled away and dumped
| Oy an electric crane beyond the mouth
Of the tunnel. Some 500 cars are taken
put during every "a hours. This means
that the extension moves about 71a
yards day. 1t started almost two and
O half years ago. The last official re-
port, April 1, showed n progress of a.
G93 meters (nearly three miles) from
the Swiss side, and $3.50 meters from
the Italian side, or S,3O3 meters in all
(over five miles,. The average daily
rate was 6.36 meters (obout seven
yards) and 5.2G meters. The delay in
Italy is due to the greatest difficulties
encountered there. However, the work
is we'll up with the program and within
three years q train will leave Brig
Switzerland, be lost for twenty min,
utes, and come out at Iselle. Italy
That little ride will cost $14,OOO,OOO.
