War Department Over There and the
Commander-in-Chief Will Do Things
What He Did During the Time He
Spent in Greatest Camp on Earth.

Bronzed and batte-scarred, the gray
haired commander-in-c chief OF the United

Miles, looked the picture of health when
seen in his private car today just before
leaving for Portland. General Miles is
bound for the coast for the purpose Of
inspecting all of the defenses. October
he will leave for the Philippine islands
on the transport Thomas
The nature of General Miles mission
to the Orient is unknown to anyone save
the general and the war department. un-
der whose direct orders he is making the
present trip. However, it is understood
that he intends to make a close investi-
cation of the situation there and while
in the islands he will be in command.
May Take Things in Hand.
1t is not improbable that he will in
stitute some radical changes, as it is
said that the department at Washington
is not entirely pleased with the way the
campaign is being conducted and it is
believed that General Miles is instructed
to effect any changes he may deem neces-
sary
When seen Miles had just finished
iulSHcoT III MS private car viii oclldtOr
Clark as his guest. During the forenoon
the general was driven about the city by
the senator and greatly enjoyed the many
sights that he saw. 1t has been several
years since the generals last trip to
Butte and he seemed greatly impressed
with the many improvements that have
been made. He visited the Columbia
Gardens and was pleased with the choice
collection of flowers on exhibition there.
She Likes the Mountains.
General Miles is accompanied By Mrs.
Miles and she expressed herself as being
very fond of Montana. She said that If
she had her choice nothing would suit
her better than to live among the Mon
tana mountains. Col. M. p. Maus, add
camp on General Miles staff and private
secretary, together with Mrs. Maus, are
also members of the generals party and
will accompany him to the Philippines.
The party also includes two stenographers

S|EGEL WILL NOT
FORGET LECTURE
JUDGE BOYLE IMPOSES FINE ON A
PARK STREET PAWNBROkER
AND GIVES ADVICE.

1t is not often that Judge Boyle inn
poses fine as large as $Ioo, but he had
occasion to do so this morning when M.
Siegel, apawnbroker, pleaded guilty to con-
Quoting his business without license.
Siegel runs small pawnshop at No. IS
East Park street. He opened the place not
very long ago and for awhile claimed to be
just an ordinary, everyday merchant on
a small scale.
But the other pawnbrokers were not
slow to learn that Siegel was making
loans on personal property i'll quiet way.
They complained to the police about the
matter and Siegel was arrested. He saw
it would be useless to deny the charge AMI
pleaded guilty.
Judge Boyle in imposing the fine gave
Siegel lecture he will not soon forget.
He told him that he could not expect a
city to allow man to conduct wolf"
business without paying for it; that the
business was bad enough but that rum
ming it without license was worse.
Then came the sentence of $Ioo and
Siegel paid the money reluctantly.

NJ 'CONNELL IS SORE
AT THE TESTIMONY
THINKS NIXON THREW HIM DOWN
AND SHARP WORDS PASS BE-
TWEEN THE TWO.

When Judge Knowles called the federal
court to order this afternoon the McCon-
nell case was the first case called. Mr..
Nixon was the first witness to be put upon
the stand Judge Mcconnell sharpely ques-
toned him with regard to the testimony
that he had given yesterday in McCon-
nell's absence. Nixon objected to the ex-
animation and accused Mcconnell of try
ing to break up his former testimony.
A very lively set-to ensued between the
witness and his former attorney and
Nixon became SO excited that he said to
Mcconnell, "shut your mouth till | get
through.
Mcconnell flushed up and Judge
Knowles was compelled to call both men
to order. No particular point was estab-
lished by Nixon's testimony, though Nc
Connell explained that he was trying to
show that Nixon had placed his money in
another mans keeping.

CIRCULAR RECEIVED AT POLICE

LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

One of the most peculiar circulars re-

time came this morning in Chief Rey-

from Black, Rock, Ark, by w. d. Burd,
who was recently robbed of collection Of
pearls valued at many thousands of do!-
lars.
The circular bears the caption in large
black letters, purely Business Prop
osition," and below the following lines :
"On August I6, last, I lost collection
of pearls from the bank OF Black Rock,
by robbery. I want to communicate with
robbers or their agent with a view to
getting my pearls back
II will make it to their interest to re-
turn them. Buyers have been notified
and have description of the pearls, and
in trying to dispose Of them there is
danger of detection"
Then follows description of the
stolen jewelry and the closing para
graph "If | can get them back ! will
pay liberal sum for them and no ques-
tions will be asked"
That's new wrinkle on me-" re-
marked Detective Jerry Murphy as he
read the circular. Here's man who
will parley with thieves to secure his
stolen property. Well, il the thieves
have any of the proverbial honor left they
will perhaps dig up with a man who will
treat them as squarely as this man

New York, Sept. I7.--Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford of the English navy has
arrived here for stay of three weeks.
i have followed the American army and
navy maneuvcrs with much interest" he
said. II do not consider America has
wasted any money in the powder that was
burned in the sham war game. We are
beginning to do that too, now, and think it
is one of the best things for the training OF
the navy and army to see just where the
weak points in country's war force lies"
About the shipping combine, Lord Beres-
ford said: II must confess that we are a
little frightened, not at the probabilities
but at the possibilities. 1t is ridiculous to
talk of England forming rival combina-
