GEN. OLIVER MAY BE
SECRETARY OF WAR
Mr.. Root Thinks of Returning to the
Practice of Law.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 14.-It
seems to be general understanding
among officials of the war department
who ought to know that the name of
Robert Shaw Oliver, who has just been
appointed assistant secretary Of war,
will be favorably considered for secre-
tary of war when Secretary Root re-
tires from the cabinet. On the compile
tion Of certain important matters
which Secretary. Root has in hand he
intends to return to New York to re-
sumo the practice of law. Just when
this will happen is very indefinite. Sec
retary Root sails for England the last
Of the month to take his place as chair
man Of the American commission on
the Alaskan boundary commission He
will continue as secretary of war dur
ing his stay abroad.
In case the affairs which have been
under his especial charge and in which
he is very much interested are still un-
settled when he shall return to this
country, it is expected he will continue
as secretary of war. There are other
conditions which may prolong his stay
as member of the cabinet until after
the next session of congress. The fact
that he Is familiar with everything per-
tanning to PHILIPPINE affairs, the ad-
ministration in Cuba and the manage
ment Of all military matters since the
Spanish war, all of which subjects may
be considered by the next congress,
may cause him to continue until the
close of the present administration.

from Fort Sill, 1. r., to Fort Reno,
Okla, 80 miles, in nine hours and ten
minutes. The first thirty miles was

covered in two hours and twenty five
minutes. Upon completing the trip
Gen. Miles showed no signs of fatigue

a sturdy man.
Gen. Miles was accompanied by Capt.
Sayre, of the Eighth cavalry The
weather was cool at the start at A
o'clock this morning, but became in
tensely hot. Anadnarko, 35 miles from
Fort Sill, was reached in two hours and
twenty-five minutes. The ride was
made in ten mile relays, soldiers sta
toned along the line furnishing fresh
horses Lunch consumed twenty min
utes and fifty minutes was spent in
changing mounts and in other small de-
lays This made the actual time IN
the saddle eight hours.
A salute was fired as Gen. Miles en-
tered Fort Reno at 2:20 o'clock. He
showed no signs of WEAKNESS as he
dismounted. Immediately after re-
viewing the troops at Fort Reno Gen.
Miles, accompanied by Col. Maus. drove

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-THE
pcstoffice inspectors are investigating
charges made against John M. Masten,
now assistant superintendent of the
railway mail service, and formerly
chief clerk in the first assistant post
master generals office. A man named
Terry, now in the government service,
has made an affidavit before the in
spectors alleging that Masten, while
chief clerk to the first assistant post
master general proposed that Terry
pay him $50 down and $S or SO a
month to secure reinstatement in a
former position in Masten's bureau.
Terry charges that he was originally
q $500 employe in the dead letter office,
that he was removed under an order of
Masten and put into the city postoffice,
that he protested, and finally that Mas
ten suggested his getting an outside
party, a close friend of Masten and a
former employe of the postal service,
to help him. The affidavit alleges that
Masten gave Terry assurance that if
he paid the amount mentioned he could
get back; that he went to Masten's
house about the matter but did not pay
the money. Terry charges that sub
sequently he made an affidavit making
these charges and handed it to Masten
to present to First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Johnson, and that the afii-
davit did not reach Johnson. Accord
ing to the charges, Masten subsequent
ly was asked by Terry for the affidavit
and refused to return it and Terry
thereupon placed the information be-
fore the civil service commission, who
took up the matter with the president.

WOMAN RESCUED IN
DEEP CREYASSE
Mrs. Johns, of New York, Es-
capes Death i'm Yosemite
as by Miracle.

YOSEMITE VALLEY, Cal, July ID.
Mrs. Johns, of New York city, who
has been staying in the valley for a
few days. was found this morning in
a steep crevasse back of Sentinel
Dome. Yesterday Mrs. Johns started
from GLACIER Point hotel to walk to
Fissures, two miles from the hotel.
Mrs. Lewis, the manager of the hotel,
cautioned her against going too far
without guide and admonished her
not to remain after dusk, as there was
grave danger of losing the trail. Last
night Mrs. Johns did not return.
No trace of her was found Hast night.
Early this morning the searching party
started out again, one part making a
discovery that filed the spectators
with horror Far down one of the
sides Of Sentinel Fissure. whose cre-
vases drop down in some places
thousands of feet, suspended on a
ledge that jutted out from the steep
side Of the narrow canon, the almost
lifeless form of Mrs. Johns was found
by Mr.. Potter, a hotel clerk. She was
too weak to speak, but WAS able by
feeble signs to make. Mr. Potter know
that she still lived,
. After trying in vain to work his way
down the mountain side to her. Mr..
Potter went to the hotel for help.
Provided with ropes land carrying a
stretcher, a party of eight made its
way back to the creyasse where the
work was commenced of trying to ex-
tricate Mrs. Johns. gas
The relief party found Mrs. Johns
position to be critical in the extreme.
Her escape from frightful death
had been a seeming miracle. She had
fallen 800 feet from the crevasse walls
and had partly broken her fall by
catching juniper bushes and scrub
trees through whose branches she had
plunged. When the rope had been
lowered Mr.. Potter descended to ex-
anime the ground and determine the
best course to pursue in rescuing Mrs.
Jehns. There, lodged upon a two-foot
ledge, with her clothing torn to frag-
nents and her flesh scratched and
bruised, lay Mrs. Johns, weak from ex-
haus.ion and lack of food and be-
numbed by the frosty chill of the night.
With difficulty the rope was securely
tied around Mrs. Johns waist and an
effort made to help her to the rim
above. This attempt proved futile be-
the abrupt precipice Mr.. Potter could
discern another and larger ledge
hundred feet below. from which was a
sheer drop of hundreds of feet. He
determined to try this plan of rescue.
Giving the order to those above to
lower the rope. Mr.. Potter swung Mrs.
Johns clear from the tiny strip of
ledge on which she had braced herself
for eighteen hours into the chasm be-
low. Swinging the rope, Mr.. Potter
was able to land Mrs. Johns on the
broader ledge beneath. Then Mr..
Johns and his companion descended to
the broader ledge beneath ard the two
picking up Mrs. Johns, the three
made their way round difficult places
until they reached safety once more.
Mrs. Johns is suffering much from ex-
posure but as no bones are broken
she viii recover.

NEW YORK, July 14.-The North
ern Securities roads show a combined
surplus for the year ending June 30 Of
over $41,000.000 or 10 per cent on the
Northern Securities stock. Comments
ing on this showing, a Northern Sc
curities director said today:
'If anything was wanted to- demon
strate the railroad wisdom of j. J. Hill,
the part that Burlington has placed in
our business this past year should fur
nish it. The Burlington has been our
best Garner of money directly, and has
done much to make it possible for the
other two roads to make the showing
they have made.
"The company owes a good deal to
the development of the northern coun-
try, made possible by the cooperation
of the three roads. This is particularly
true of the territory northwest of the
Twin Cities. where the roads have
done more than anywhere else to as

ness.
1.-THE competition of the Canadian
Pacific and the 500 line has not mate
rally affected our earnings and we do
not expect it will. The prosperity of
country means the wealth of the rail-
roads, and Mr.. Hill is the last man to-
object to the opening of new country.
The Northwest is not covered with
railroads and will not be for many
years. We think 1t has not as many
as 1t might have, and we do not blame
any one for agreeing with us and
building railroads.
Perhaps the most prominent factor
in the business has been the traffic
westward for shipment across the Pa
cific. 1t is not yet what Mr.. Hill ex-
poets to make il within the next two
years. He has generally proved a
prophet worth following, and he thinks
he will need much larger fleet on the
Pacific In 1905 than in 1903"

his trip along the coast. There is no
definite information available as to the
identity of the cases, but the jury has
been working on them for some time.
An agreement has been reached be-
tween the postoffice department and
the civil service commission regard
ing the transfer of employees from other
departments to the postoffice depart
ment. The new regulations provide
that in such transfers it must be shown
that the person to be transferred will
be employed on work similar to that
previously performed by him and has
qualifications which will enable him to
perform such work better than person
selected from the eligible register of
the commission. The pending investi-
cation has disclosed irregular trans
fers.
Postmaster General Payne will leave
here tomorrow and will be aboard the
revenue cutter while it makes it's regu-
