MAJOR BLUNT EXONERATED.
Never Interfered With Employes-Has
Been Efficient and Judicious.

A despatch from Rock Island, ILL.,, yes
terday afternoon states that copy of an
official order endorsed by Secretary Root,
which ends for the present the agitation by
Grani Master OConnell. of the Machin-
lists Union, and Agent Berry. of the Tri-
City Labor Congress, for the removal OF
Major S. E. Blunt, from the command OF
Rock Island Arsenal, has been received.
The order declares that the charges
against Major Blunt are not sustained,
and says he has been an efficient and ju-
dicious officer The order also says there
has never been any interference with en-
ployes of the arsenal joining labor or
ganizations or any discrimination there
for. In conclusion the order says
In the contemplated increase of the
force at the arsenal the old employees of
good records who were dropped when the
force was reduced should. 50 far as it Is
consistent with the civil service rules. be
preferred over applicants never before
employed. and in considering the records
CT former employees participation in the
strike which took place in the spring Of
1899 should not be counted against them
as it was not counted against them at the
time of Reinstatement after the strike was
declared on.
The strike referred to in the order is
enc cf the most noted in the history of
labor troubles. which has figured In po-
iiiical campaigns and has been before
Congress and the War Department several
times during the three years it has lasted.

This was not the case. The Ohio Sena- !

WILL OPPOSE THE
NEW ARMY MEASURE
Gen. Hawley Not in Accord
With Some Provisions.
Free Criticism of Proposed General staff
Consolidation of Supply Bureaus
Meets With Objection.

General Hawley. chairman of the Sen
ate Military Committee, has decided to
lead the opposition to the new army bill
will be assisted by number of army off,
GERS. who are opposed to any further leg
islation at this time for the army.
1t is well known that there is much OBJ
lection by staff officers to the proposed
consolidation of the supply bureaus. On
the other hand there is free criticism of
the plan for a general staff.
General Hawley's Position.
General Hawley openly declared before
the committee recently, when Secretary
Root was explaining the provisions of the
bill. that he would rather have half day
of General Grant than a whole day of
board of staff officers.
Secretary Root gave practically the
whole credit for the working out of the
Santiago campaign to General Corbin. He
said that such an organization as pre-
vailed in the War Department at the out
break of til. war with Spain would ruin
any man who was Secretary of War, be-
cause the system was not capable of be-
ing worked out with successful results
Credit to General Corbin.
The operations of the general staff were
carried out during the war with Spain
mainly at that time by officers of the Ad-
jutant Generals Department, who worked
day and night. Secretary Root added that
if we had not had an adjutant general with
the strength of ten men, and with ex-
traordinary executive capacity, the whole
system would have broken down abso-
iutely.
Mr.. Hawley reminded his associates that
there was no breakdown during the war
of the rebellion. To this Secretary Root
replied that the success of the depart
ment on that occasion was due TO work
in stress of war, which it is now con-
templated to have done under the general
staff system.
Col. William F. Carter, who has been
an assistant in the office of the adjutant
general since he left the line of the army
i've years ago, also appeared before the
committee. He had recommended the
general staff scheme to Secretary Root
and. upon the suggestion of the Secretary
OF War, explained its provisions to the
committee.
