DISTINCTION, July 2i.-The Jap
Nv anese government has served
" notice on the state Depart
ment that il claims possess
sisn OF Marcus island, toward which
IS now heading an American expedi-
ties under Captain Rosehil with a
purpose OF exploiting its guano de-
pests. Regarding IL as extremely de-
sirable that no collision occur the State
department has taken measures to adj
wise Captain Rosehill that he must Of
fer no resistance IL he should fall in
with japanese warship which also is
speeding for the island.
Rosehill landed on this island about
thirteen years ago. He put up a sign
and deposited a bottle setting forth
his claims to the island, erected a flag
pole and hu'St"d the United States flag.
Then he sailed away from the island,
leaving J., unoccupied, a fact which
may vitiate his title. OF these facts he
informed the State Department, but he
neglected for many years to file in the
Treasury Department the bond required
by the Guano island laws. In fact this
bond was only filed within the last
year. Meanwhile, finding n deserted
island, some Japanese landed and be-
gan to take away the EuanO. There
are believed to be two score of them
now on the island, and the japanese
government holds that their title il
good. The japanese warship carried
the message from his government to
Rasehill. advising him to offer no re
sistance, aud as 1t probably will reach
Marcus island, distant only a thousand
miles from Yokohama, before the Rose
hill schooner which sailed from Homo
lulu, two thousand miles distant, 1t is
expected that there will be no clash be-
tween the schooner's passengers and
the japanese coolies now on the island.
YOKOHAMA, July 24.--lt is officially
announced that the Japanese cruiser
kasagie will convey the diplomatic
agent of Japan to Marcus island. The
explanation is that it is the desire of
the Government to reassure the Jap
anese residents and convince them that
the Rosehill claim is untenable. 1t is
asserted here that the island was an
nexed to Japan in 1898 and that it was
discovered by "A Japanese subject in

Successor to Archbishop.

CHICAGO, July 24.-In secret confer
ence here today the irremovable and
diocesan priests and suffragan bishops
of the archdiocese of Chicago of the
Roman Catholic church, expressed their
choice for candidates to succeed to the
position of the late Archbishop Feehan.
The Daily News says the choice by
the rectors and consultors in order OF
precedence was as follows:
Most Worthy Bishop John Lancaster
Spalding of Peoria, H.; More Worthy
Bishop =. X. Muldoon Of Chicago;
Worthy Bishop James +. Quigley of
Buffalo.
The choice Of the suffragan bishops
includes Bishops Spalding and Null

tions of said act of Congress, then the
above obligation to be void and of no
effect; otherwise 1t shall abide and re-

That seems to me to recognize the
sovereignty Of the United States in
Marcus Island, and when that bond
was accepted the rights of Captain
Rosehill were certainly safeguarded as
fully as is possible. We do not fear
that there will be the slightest doubt
OF the future. and we cannot see how
any claim can be brought forward at
this time"

is that the doughty Netherlanders are
too Independent to relish the idea of
having one of their number wear
crown, the supreme symbol of sover-

and queens of Spain have never been
actually crowned since the days of the
Nisiguths.
All that Alfonso will have to do to

which provides for his majority at the
age of sixteen.
While that is the plan the queen regent
would follow, there is some doubt felt
as to the final outcome. Political con
ditions in Spain are not reassuring.
One of the most unfortunate symptoms
of public danger is that the liberal and
enlightened statesman Sagasta insists
on retiring. This brings into promi-

YOUNG OFFICIAL SET
NEW FACTOR IN SOCIETY AND POLL
TICS AT WASHINGTON.

Miss Alice Roosevelt Leader of
Gay Coteric of Girls at the National
Cnpitnl-ExcIusiVc Circle IL Power
In Social Matters.
With the close of Lent and the re-
turn of Miss Alice Roosevelt from Gu.
ba the young official set in Washing
ton will renew the social gaycty which
has been such a feature of the winter
season at the national capital. Since
Miss Roosevelt's debut she has been
the dictator of this youthful court,
known as the Junior official set"
Though still but Il debutantc, she has
the power of Mrs. AstOr and can
make or unmake the careers of the
pretty girls and ambitious men who
are glad to follow in her train.
From the time that she made her
initial bow to society she has shown
that she was able to hold the reins of
leadership, and handle them wisely.
The young women in this set are all
winsome, and many of them are beau
ties. Fortunately they are singularly
free from anything savoring of atfccta-
ton. 1t may be truthfully said that
the bellies in the White House cotcrie
contributed largely TO the social charm
of the season just past.
Another thing to be reckoned with
is the political power that may be eE-
erted by these young women. Daugh-
ters frequently succeed in influencing
their fathers where wives would fail.
and old timers already recognize the
possibilities of influence from that di-
rectiOn
Although not quite eighteen when
she made her bow, Miss Alice Roose-
welt showed much grace when she as
sumCd the responsibility of the young
set at the capital. Several of her at
tractive cousins visited her during the
winter. OF these girls Colnclia Roose-
velt-Scovel is most widely known. She
is the daughter of singer and has
chosen an operatic career. Miss Helen
Roosevelt. daughter of Mr. j. ROose-
velt-Roosevelt. was brought out dur
ing the winter by her grandmother,
Mrs. Astor.. Several other cousins of
the presidents daughter have been
prominent at the capital.

LIEUTENANT GENERAL NELSON A. MILES.
May, 1853, Hooker fought the battle OF
charlottesville, Colonel Miles again
performed most valuable service at
critical point and mt a critical moment.
The following day Miles was seriously
wounded in the groin.
At SpottsylVania General Miles was
still more hotly engaged His brigade,
with that Of Brooks, was in the first
line of attack on the Confederate posi-
ton. The attack was made with great
success. The intrenchmcnts We're car
ried. Johnston's division, several thou
sand strong, twenty pieces of artillery
and thirty stand of colors were cap
turod
General Miles had entered the army
as mere boy. lie rose so rapidly dur
ing the conflict that at its close he was
a major general. He was then but
twenty-siX years of age He had
fought through all the great battles of
the Army Of the Potomac save one.
General Miles was active until the
close of the war. In February, 1868.
when but twenty-siX years old. he COM
manded the Second army corps. TO
which distinction he had risen by bril-
liant and daring work. Never before
had an American officer at that age
commanded so large body Of sol
diers.
Perhaps the world best knows Gen
eral Miles rs an Indian fighter. His
work on the frontier is so familiar and
has been made so much more promi-
nont than were his achievements in
the civil war that many forget his
early fighting career. In this impor-
tant work a belt of country extending
from the Mexican to the Canadian bor-
ders and more than 400 miles wide
was redeemed from the savages and
given to civilization. General Miles
was the directing head of the opera
tons which accomplished this great
result.
General Miles as senior major gener-
al succeeded to command of the army
in 1895. In June, 1900, he was raised
to the rank of lieutenant general. He
was born in Westminster, Mass, in
1899. His wife was Mary Sherman.

STORY OF A FIGHTER
HOW A CROCKeRY STORE CLERK
BECAME HEAD OF THE ARMY.

Brilliant Military Career of General
Nelson A. Miles-Commanded an

Should Lieutenant General Nelson A.
Miles carry out his threat to resign if

comes law or should he be summari-
ly retired there would be ended most
picturesque and brilliant military ca
reer.
1t is a career that had its beginning
over forty years ago when, as tall
young clerk in a Boston crockery store,
he took the first step in the profession
which was to bring him great renown.
Young Miles was born tighter. lie
had an innate love of military affairs.
This led him in 1860 to join militia
company. His first drillmaster was an
old French officer in Boston. .
From that time on, when not selling
pots and pans, he spent his time in
drill. Crockery had lost its charm. A
soldier was born. The clerk had start
ed on the path TO military glory
When Fort Sumter was fired upon,

his ability and was made captain.
With the Twenty MaSsachu-

in his report commended him for gal
liant action. The battles Aliens Farm,

commanded the brigade, praised him
highly in his official report.
