The Plan Was Too Feasible.

1t seems that the head and font OF
Gen. Miles offense against the admins
tration is that he had plan which he
thought would secure peaceful set
Element OF the Philippine question,
and secure the often promised and
long deferred cessation of hOstllitles.
I'm the innocence Of his nature, he
thought this would be a welcome as
surance to the President and his fol-
lowing. His proposition was to au-
thorize him to select ten men from
Cuba and Porto Rico. who by Observa-
ton and experience were qualified to
size up the situation and its demands
accurately, ana proceed with them to
Manila, to explain to the people OF
those islands the benefit their people
had derived from friendly relations
with this country, and on his return
to bring here such number of Repre-.
sentative Filipinos as he might deem
necessary to obtain full realization
of the advantages of our civilization
and knowledge of the disposition Of
our people towards them, as we'll as to
afford ample opportunity for consulta-
ton and agreement upon plans affect
ing their destiny. Some other mat
tiers of detail were embraced in the
opportunity thus afforded him, as
Lieutenant General, for disposition OF
the U. S. forces on the islands SO that
they might occupy the most healthful
and strategic positions.
This is the plan which Secretary
Root characterizes as sensational and
spectacular" and the President has
tens to endorse "as awhole and in
every part" The TACT is, Gen. Miles
had suggested rational plan for ter
minating a strife that has been unnec-
essarily allowed to extend over years
for the evident purpose of advancing
venal and mercenary partisan objects.
His plan was so reasonable as to inn
press all with its fairness, and so plaus-
ib!e as to inspire immediate confdent C
OF success. This did not suit the adj
ministration. The emergency required
an energetic exercise OF Teddy's" stren-
uosity" and it was acted upon with the
Presidents proverb bal impetuosity.

That the prejudice OF Tacoma PEG.

crous incident which lately transpiled
in 50 distant city as Butte, Montana.
The story is sent to us by an Olym-

Mountain region. A few evenings
ago, he attended social gathering in
the above named city and among the

RUINS OF OLD JERUSALEM.
Valuable Relics of Antiquity Un-
earthed in Excavating in the
Holy City.

The Greek Catholic monks, who are
in possession of the chief portions of
the church of the Holy Sepulcher, are
now going to build bazaar opposite it,
where pilgrims may purchase souve-
Mrs of their visit TO Jerusalem. Dur
ing the process of clearing the site the
foundations of an old medieval
church, 40 meters long and 30 wide,
with three apses, were discovered, says
the London Standard. A number of
fine capitals, fragments of basalt pill
lars, and bas-reliefs, with symbolic an
imals, were found, all these remains
having doubtless belonged to the choir
of the church. Last year a valuab BILE
silver shrine, containing piece of the
holy cross and relics of the Apostles
Peter and Paul-according, at least, to
the inscriptions on them-was found
at the same place.
The patriarch of Jerusalem, it is
said, is keeping other discoveries Sc
cret, owing to his dislike of the Roman
Catholic church. Those mentioned
above are all the more important, as

they belonged. According to the
statement of a medieval traveller the
hospice and the monastery which the
citizens of Amalfi founded about the
year $40, as refuge for western pill
grims, were situated due south of the
holy sepulcher, about a stones throw
away. The first church was built in
honor of St. Mary de Latinis, and the
second, the ruins of which have now
been found, in honor of st. John the
Baptist. The French monk Bernard,
who lived there in $40, highly praised
the hospitality and the large library of
the hospice. a Mohammedan historian
says it was destroyed by the Khalif Ha-
KEN, and rebuilt shortly afterward,
while, according to another account,
it prospered down to the time of King
Baldwin, of Jerusalem, from HOO to
Ills, when the two communities of St.
Mary and st. John adopted the latter
as their joint protector. This was the
origin of the Knights of St. John. The
remains now discovered, therefore, are
the ruins of the cradle of this order. 1t
is most unfortunate that the preserva-
ton of these very interesting remains
seems impossible, owing to the ill-feel-
ing which exists between the Greeks
and Roman Catholics in Jerusalem.

Although custom which teachers sell

called a pudding, and five sausages,
which in cooking shrunk to the size
of pipe-stems. There were five of us
at table.
A few days afterward, on my return
from school, my eyes were delighted by
the sight of an animal l had never be-

AN ARMY FROLIC.
But the Boys Were Having
Good Time.

"Any mention of the Sixth corps"
said the sergeant, according to the
Chicago Inter Ocean, always brings
pleasant memories to me. 1t was with
us in the Shenandoah valley until after
Cedar Greek, when it returned to po-
.sition in front of Petersburg. We of
the army of West Virginia missed the
boys of the Sixth, and were homesick
for them. Therefore, when Gen.
Thomas NJ. Harriss commanding the
Second division of the Eighth corps,
received orders December l, 1864, to
report with his division to Gen. Grant
at City Point, there was great rejoic-
ing. We felt sure that we would soon
touch elbows again with the boys of
the Sixth corps, and when we left the
front to embark at Stephens depot,
below Winchester, there was as much
frolicking as if we had been released
for a holiday.
can army in frolicsome mood was a
great spectacle. There was no dis
order. There was NO break in the
ranks. Regiment after regiment
moved forward in regular formation
like well-oiled parts of a great ma
chine, all responsive to the gesture or
low spoken order of the commander in
front. 1t was an army ready for bust
-nesr, but the men were joking and
laughing and it so happened they de-
voted a great deal of attention to me.
A West Virginian named Zinlle and
myself were left isl camp to bring up
the transportation, and in the per-

POULTRY AT A FABULOUS PRICE.

light found us marching on the Salem
pike, the alleged pike consisting of a
strip of roughly-broken stone bordered
with mud. After few miles the stone
gave out, and its name was mud-deep,
yellow mud. The character of the
storm had changed from that of the
night before, the rain now being well
mixed with snow.
We were not long in finding out that
he movement was not general one, but
of our division only. Reaching the vi
cinity of Eagleville, we went into biv-
ouac, where, wet to the skin, the night
was spent around fires of chestnut rails.
One of our boys wore army boots and
navyblue pants, which had become
so loaded with mud that he cut off the
legs just below the boot-tops, when
dried by the fire the shoddy cloth was
so shrunken that pants and boots did
not connect by many inches.
Our destination was Franklin, which
was reached and occupied without re-
sistance, Forests troops retiring after
the exchange of few shots. We
passed through the town and camped
on the identical ground where we as
sisted in defeating Hood army nearly
two years later.
On our march foraging was forbidden
under severe penalty, and the boys were
compelled to use various forms of
strategy in order to vary the regula-
ton diet of bareback, bacon and tallow
candles which was not necessary at
later period of the war. Seeing some
turkeys at a farmhouse where a flag
indicated temporary division headquar-
tiers, two comrades surrounded negro
servant and bargained for the poultry
at fabulous price per head. One fowl
was caught and handed over, and while
the old negro was in pursuit of its mate,
number one was hustled into passing
army wagon. When Gen. Davis was in
formed of the affair staff officer was
sent to overtake and arrest man with
turkey, but the guilty party was
not found. Our mess had turkey for
supper, and, as was usual in such cases,
the teamster implicated was our guest

was some variety which the boys in
the camp did not have, such as crack
ing bee-hives after nightfall, and milk
ing cows before daylight, we did not
consider the locality land of milk and
honey. Guarding spiteful confederates
and their property and meanwhile
sleeping on benches in the courthouse
was not considered a snap.
After several weeks other troops
came to remain as a garrison, and we
returned to our old camp at Murfrees-
boro, 40 men of my regiment arriving
barefooted.

THE SMOKE PROBLEM.
May he Solved by the Use of Oil Rs
Fuel in Place of Coal in City
Factories.

For two or three years oil-burning
steamers have been in operation along
the Pacific coast, oil-burning locomo-
tives have been used on roads not con-
trolled by the coal owners, and in
many factories in all parts of the land
oil has been used instead of coal for
heating. Now it is said that the Ken
sington, of the Red Star line, operat-
ing between Antwerp and New York,
is to be a coal steamer no longer, but
will use oil as a Iuel. This may be
the beginning of a reform that will
last so long as the oil supply contin-
ues, and, as new wells are opened
from time to time in the south and
west, and as the great fields of Asia
have been but little exploited, that
may be for many years.
Oil has advantages over coal. 1t is
cheaper, as prices now average; there
is almost no waste, the oil burning out
entirely, and there being no loss in
starting and putting out a fire, since
a mere turn of a faucet and touch of
match starts the flames roaring under
the boiler, while another turn of the
cock puts them out in an instant; the
passengers on trains and boats are
not troubled with shot and cinders.
and such trains and boats can be kept
clean and in good condition; there
Is no accumulation of ashes and clink-
ers to dump into rivers and harbors,
to the gradual occlusion of channels;
it is easier to use oil than coal, and
cheaper, because oil requires no force

guarantees economy of space on the
ship that uses it, for coal is a bulky
fuel; and, lastly, oil is produced with
out the employment of so many men
who could interfere with the produc-
ton, as they are interfering with the
anthracite production by the strike.
In our cities something must be done
to end the smoke nuisance. Not only
is it a Disagreement and unpleasant

expense by its soiling of clothes and

their eyes by the elevated trains of
this borough every day, and it is
poured over the just and unjust from
the chimneys of power houses, facto-
ries and shops. The authorities have
given up trying to enforce the law,
and it is said that mum Der of the law
breakers have found it so easy to
evade the ordinance that they have
openly told of their intention to keep
on doing as they do now after the
strike is over. In Washington coke is
used to advantage, even mixture of it
with soft coal reducing the smoke ma
terially, but no attempt has been made
to buy coke in New York, so far as is
known, though it is made by the mil
lion tons in Pennsylvania. The way
out of our difficulties that best COM
mends itself is not to burn coal in
any form, but to use the cheap and
crude rock oil of Texas and California
as a fuel.-Brooklyn Eagle.

That years can never chill;
