GENERAL ALLAN
HAS BEEN ACTIVE
He Refers SarcasticalIys to an
Opponent Gov. Montague
One of His Endorsers.

Especial Dispatch to The Times0t
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 2S.-Al-.
though he has not filed any papers with
the President nor with the Attorney-Gen-
erslI relative to his re;Ippointnle!at as
United States attorney for the Eastern
district of Virginia, General Edgar Al
Ian has begun his campaign here IN
Washington already. During the recent
.encsmp,nent of the Grand Army Of the
Republic several delegations called at
the White House in General Allan's be-
haif. and others nave been there since
that time.
Ger eral Allan was seen by the repre-
sentative OF The Times here to-day. and
he spoke Very freely OF his fight for.
reappointment. and made some rather
sarc; site remarks on the subject OF Hugh
Gordon Miller. his assistant, who is after
the attorneyship also.
When questioned about the coming fight
the first thing General Allan did was TO
haul out of his pocket 4 nicely gotten
up implicit which at first glance looked
like the menu card of 4 swelt restaurant.
Upon examination il. proved to be d pros
p. ctus of the many endorsements to be
filed by General Allan when the time
comes. Tho endorsements are arranged
under different heads, the principal three
l.eaGi,gs being Republican Party En-
en.Senlents. .Non-Partsan Endorse
nicrts1 ana Grand Army OF the Re-
r.ub:ic Endorsements" General Allan de-
clined to show the party endorsements
s;.,ing he did not intend to let his enc
mes see his line of battle. but referred
With great pride to the others. At the
head OF the list OF nen-pa rtisan endorse
merits is the name OF Governor Slonta-
que, and the list contains the names OF
TIC most prominent Democrats IN the
state. The G.. A. r. list is headed by
the name. of ex-Secretary OF War Russell
A. Alser.
When asked about the alleged quarrel
between him and Hugh Gordon Miller
over the beef scandal in Norfolk. 1t hav-
ing been said that General Allan was Of
Tended because Miller opened up the case
during the absence Of his chief. and act
ed without consulting him. General Al
ian showed great amusement Ehat is
rerfectiy ridiculous. am only too glad
to see Miller do some work at last He
never has done any before. and is never
in the Office more than ten minutes a
dav on an average OF course. he Is on
hanl when the court is in session. but
between times he does nothing. What I
,vrs,ts him was merely a polite request to
fila the papers in the case with the de-
r,.,:tnler.t in order that the records might
be straight
When it was suggested to General At
Ian that Miller was receiving some back
ing from Republican leaders on account
of the political services he had rendered
tho party. he smiled ss.rcastically and
said: :Oh, yes know Miller has made
speech for them a number of times.
