LIEUT.. GEN. MILES.
His Enforced Retirement is Only
aQueStion of Time.
Gen. Brooke, Who Is Miles Senior
Both in Service and in Age. viii
Likely BE Appointei in
His Stead

Washington. April 1.-THE issues
are fairiy joined between the lieuten.
ant general aud the secretary of war
The troubles. which began long ago
under the Cleveland administration.
have finally reached so critical a stage
that the compulsory retirement of Gen.
Miles at an early date is an open Sc
cret and is not denied at the white
house. In explanation OF President
Roosevelt's position one of his close
friends. who unquestionably speaks
by authority. says:
The question is not a personal one
between Gen. Miles and Secretary
Root. At present Secretary Root has
on his shoulders a heavier burden
Than any other member of the admin.
istra'ion. No man less strong could
carry IL all; and now. at the very time
when he requires the most loyal sup.
port or every subordinate who wishes
we'll to the army and the nation. he
has to spend much OF his strength in
meeting the opposition to the COM
manding general. If Gen. Miles is re.
tired IL will be simply because after
patient trial President Roosevelt feels
that on the highest ethical grounds
his retention would work grave and
lasting injustice to the army as a
whole.
AS some of Gen. Miles friends have
said that it would be unfair to retire.
1t should be said in the first place that
he secured his promotion to a briga-
der generalship only through the sim.
liar forced retirement of Gen. Ord. he
himself being jumped over number
OF his senior officers into the vacancy
thus created; and, in the. second place.
that the only action OF the kind taken
by President Roosevelt since he has
been in office was in the case of Col
Noyes, who was compulsorily retired
after reaching the age of CO. on the
recommendation of Gen. Miles. In
other words. the general himself rec
commended and profited by the very
action which his friends now fear may
be taken at his expense. II he should
go out before Gen. Brooke is retired,
Gen. Brooke, who is Gen. Miles senior.
both in service and in age. and who
did gallant and distinguished work as
volunteer in the civil war. would
undoubtedly be put in his place as
lieutenant general. as II is known that
the administration has been very desir.
Gus of recognizing Gen. Brooke's long
and faithful service. Gen. Brooke.
during the civil war. rendered equally
meritorious service with Gen. Miles:
Gen. Brooke was the first to obtain n
commission, and throughout the civil
hn hi 10 az
the war as Gen. Miles senior After
peace came Gen. Miles was promoted
over Gen. Brooke's head AS Gen.
Brooke will necessarily hold the posi-.
ton but brief period before his re.
tirement for age. Gen. S. NJ. B. Young
is likely to succeed Gen. Brooke and
Gen. Chaffee's promotion to follow two
years hence"

OUR CANADIAN TRADE.
We Enjoy More Custom Than the
Balance of the World.
America Consumes More Lumber and
Paper Than Any Other Nation,
Which Comes Mostly From Our
Northern Neishbor.

Washington. April l4-The United
Statets enjoys more of Canadian Gus
tom than the rest OF the world put to-
gether. Attention is directed to this
fact in that portion OF Commercial
Relations OF 1901" (now in press)
which deals with United States trade
with Canada. an extract OF which was
given out for publication by MIR. EN-
ory. chief of the bureau of foreign
commerce. Sunday. IL is pointed out
that so closely allied are trade condi-
lions In this country and Canada that

States Immediately finds echo I'm the
trade OF our northern neighbors. In
1877 Great Britain lost to us her lead
In the matter of goods sent into the
dominion. and from that year forward.
with but n slight interval. this coun.
try has steadily heightened the gap.
IL is not as widely realized as IL should
be, says the report, that Canada is
the best custom we have. excepting
only Great Britain and Germany. Con.
sui General Bittinger at Montreal. in
n report on the subject says:
The United States does more bust
ness with Canada than with the whole
of South America. as much as with
central America, Mexico and the West
Indies together; and nearly as much
as with Africa. Asia and Oceanica."
Our present tariff policy toward
Canada" says the consul general
causes the building up OF great manu-.
featuring interests to compete with
our own. IL We seek trade I'm other
countries. We must not deny them the
opportunity to sell some of their pro
ducts to us. Canada wants to send
to the United States her lumber. wood
pulp. hay, barley and minerals. The
United States consumes more lumber
and paper than any other nation in
the world, and she should be glad to
admit lumber and wood pulp free III
the United States would take off the
duty on Canadian coal (Which could
profltably be sold only to a very linn
tied extent along our eastern coasD
our coal would be admitted into Can
ada free, and our sales OF coal in the
dominion would be double what they
are at present"
CoHaud tOldi importation LOT CON
sumption I'm the last fiscal year
amounted to 1881 .238, 900. Imports
from the United States reached the
splendid figure of $40. 4S5 600 an in
crease of some 100000 over the pre-
ceding year. Figures are given to
show that the preferential tariff has
failed to affect seriously trade move
ments. Dutiable goods from the Unit
cd States showed decrease of about
$500. 900 last year, but this is attrib-
uted in part to the growth of Canadian
industries.

THE soER LEADERS.
They Are Considering Terms OF Peace
With Great Britain.

London. April 1.-THE announce
ment OF the presence at Pretoria of
the Orange Free State and Trsnsvaal
leaders and generals who have been
at klerksdorp considering terms of
peace has caused decided increase in
the hopefulness of the public concern
Ing the possibilities of peace.
The expectations aroused by the
conference at Pretoria have been fur
Their heightened by the movements OF

A conference of members OF the cab
met was held Saturday night at mid
night at Mr.. Chamberlain's house. Mr..
Chamberlain. Mr.. Broderick. the war
secretary; Sir Michael Hicks Beach.
the chancellor of the exchequer. and
the duke of Devonshire, president OF
the council. were present The con-
ference terminated at l O'Clock sun

Gals were in their Offices. Messen-

Sunday afternoon Mr.. Chamberlain
drove to Buckingham palace and re-
manned with King Edward for two
hours. During the afternoon messen-

with Mr.. Balfour. the government
leader in the house of commons, was
at Hatfield house.
4 uese outward signs OF Sunday &C
tivity have not been supplemented by
any authentic or official statement.
Whatever instructions have been
sent to Lord Kitchener are believed
to be only provisional in character.
The comparatively brief duration OF
the conference at Klerksdorp is re-
garded as an indication that the Boer
leaders found little difficulty in agree
ing upon some basis of negotiations.
The transfer of the negotiations to
Pretoria, where both Lord Kitchener
and Lord Miner, the British high COM
missioners in South Africa, are at
present, is interpreted by the morning
papers as meaning that the Beers are
prepared to make formal peace pro-
posals.
The latest reports received here
from the Boer headquarters at Brus-
sells and The Hague declare that dele
gates will raise no opposition If hon
orable terms are granted. and that
the Boer leaders in South Africa have
