MILES REPRIEVED.

There is no doubt that Gen. Miles
came very near losing his official head.
The President announced several days
ago that it was his intention to retire
him, as he has authority to do. 1t
seems that Gen. Miles has been ex-
ceedingly active in making public army
secrets which have been used by the
Democratic members of the Senate
Committee on the Philippines in its at
lacks on the administrator policy in
regard to those islands. In other
words, the Lieutenant General has been
using his position to make complica-
lions for the President and the Sec
rotary of War. There is no doubt that
the President has pretty good grounds
for retiring him.
Gen. Miles seems to have the idea
that he is a bigger man than the Pres
ident, and that he ought to be consulted
on every question that pertains to the
army. Outside of a few Republican
senators it is doubtful if he has many
friends. 1t is certain that the South
would not be grieved if the President
should retire him.
Senators Allison, Hoar, Hale and Nc
Comas called on the President last
Thursday and requested him to ADAM
don his intention to put Gen. Miles on
the retired list. They admitted that
he would be justified in retiring him,
but they pointed out that if he did he
would have trouble on his hands SIM
liar to the Sampson Schley contro-
versy. Their advice was to let the
General alone for the year and three
or four months that must elapse be-
fore the law will retire him.
What these senators were most con-
cerned about, at least what they said
they were the most concerned about
was that if the President carried out
his intention regarding Gen. Miles, a
condition of affairs would be developed
in the Republican party which would
make it exceedingly difficult for it to
elect majority of the members of the
next House. They talked practical
politics to, the President. According
to their view it was better that the
country should suffer than that the Re-
publican party should lose control of
the next House. The President finally
consented to take no action until the
return of Secretary Root from Cuba
AS Secretary Root has said that he
supposed he could get along with Gen.
Miles another year the impression pre-
walls that the General will be permit
ted to hold his position until year
from next August.
Gen. Miles has been source of trou-
BILE ever since the beginning of the
Spanish American war. The beef
scandal. out of which nothing came,
was the result Of charges he made.
1t is probable that the army will be
glad when the time for his retirement
comes.

PERSONAL.

Gen. Won Trotha of Prince Henry's
suite during his recent visit, said at
recent dinner party at home: II have
been to entertainments at the principal
courts of Europe, and L have never
seen such luxury and good taste as at
the series of banquets and receptions
in America"
w. j. Furnish, the Republican
nominee for the governorship of Ore
gon, went to Oregon in infancy, an or
phan boy. BY his own efforts he has
raised himself to be, at less than 40
years old, probably the most promi-
nent business man of Eastern Oregon.
His business methods are prompt and
decisive. He is unflinching in steadi-
ness of purpose and in energy tireless.
Mr.. Furnish was by birth and heritage
a Democrat, and continued such un-
til 1886, when he left his party on ac-
count of the Chicago platform.
Gen. Samuel Pearson, the Boer rep
resentative in Washington, says of the
late Cecil Rhodes: He was an Afri-
kander among Afrikanders. Those who
estimate Rhodes as an imperialist
know the great man defeated, but they
do not realize the great and potent
force embodied in his personality, and
they are ignorant OF Rhodes, who
worked, practically, for great South
African republic, of which he would
have been the father, just as Wash
ington was the father of the United
States. Rhodes was a great man, but
his greatness was due to the Afrikand-
ers. None but an Afrikander under
stands his dying words: so much to
do, so little done His bequest of $780,
900, 900 toathe United States in order to
sttract her sons to Great Britain's uni
versity is one more proof that he was
not an imperialist, but a republican
The influence of a hundred American
graduate students at oxford will be
greater upon England than upon the
United States. Rhodes knew this, Afri-
Handlers know that he understood it."

gross tons of pig iron and now the
trade in Alabama is producing at the
rate of 1,446,000 tons annually. The
section will turn out not less than
100000 tons in 1902. Twenty-Five years
ago Alabama's product was 77,190 tons.
That state has doubled her product
twenty times in a fifth of century,"

"Mr. Thomas Bradley has traced the
extortionate price of meat through the

squeezing the market accordingly, just
like a sinful Wall street man. Why the

The Columbia Is. c. State Dem.)
says: Speculation as to whether the
American student at Oxford, under the
scholarship provision of the Cecil
Rhodes will, could be eStranged from
his country and come back a Britonized
American instead of an American with
broader views of life, is idle. The true
American cannot be warped by educa-
ton. A three years course at oxford
will not exratriate him. But the Will

not. In his opinion the blood which
flows after decapitation comes from
the large vessels of the neck, and
there is hardly any call upon the cir
culation of the Uranium. The brain re-
mains intact, nourishing itself with
the blood retained by the pressure of
the air. When the blood remaining
in the head at the moment of separa-
ton is exhausted there commences a
state, not of death, but of inertia,
which lasts UP to the moment when
the organ, no longer fed, ceases to ex-
list. 1t is estimated by the physician
in question that the brain finds nour-
ishment in the residuary blod for about
an hour after decapitation. The Pc
riod of inertia would last for about two
hours, he thinks, and absolute death
would not ensue till after the space of
three hours altogether. Possibly this
may be some consolation to those
about to be guillotined.
One of the most interesting points
connected with ant existence is that
which shows us the evolution which
has attended their ways and works,
says the London Chronicle. All ants
do not exhibit the same standard of
reasoning power; some live at a lower
intellectual level than others; and
while certain species may be said to
represent the acme of ant-develop-
ment, others linger behind in the in
tellectual race. Recently we have had
one of those useful corrections regard
ing certain ants which exact observa-
ton affords. Prof. w. w. Wheeler,
writing regarding the habits of a new
farming, or agricultural ant, which
was believed to sow "ant rice" and
reap it, tells us that this belief must
be given up. The ants certainly car
ry out from their store grains of the
''rice" which have begun to terminate,
and place them outside the nest. There
are seeds thus accidentally produced
represented an actual sowing of the
plant by the insects. The growth of
the rice" is a pure accident, and the
idea that these ants are farmers will
therefore require to be deleted from the
pages of the text books.
