road Passenger Agents associations
west of Buffalo, stating that rate of
one cent mile would be charged to
those visiting the encampment from
Pittsburg, Chicago, st. Louis, Cincin-
natl, etc. 1t was conceded that all the
eastern roads, which charge two cents
mile. would grant the comrades a
single fare for the round trip.
The question Of grandstand for
the commander-in-chief and his staff
was settled by the executive commit
tee agreeing to have one erected for
the accommodation of 20OO persons,
the tickets to be turned over to the
chief of staff or some other officer ap-
pointed by the commander-in-chief.
The question of lodgings, accommo-
dations, route of parade and other
matters were discussed briefly.
Commander-in-Chie Black, although
undoubtedly suffering much, presided
throughout the meeting and took a
lively interest in the proceedings. He
and his wife, after the termination OF
the conferences, went to the soldiers
home, Chelsea, to spend Thanksgiving
with Supt. and Mrs. Geo. w. Creasey
and the boys" at the home.
Qm.-Gen. Barrows, with Adjt Gen.
Partridge, selected the rooms for the
national officers at the Vendome
while the conference was in session.
and it was decided to make the Ven
dome the national headquarters dur
ing the encampment. :

Washington - Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood is either the most fortunate or
the most unlucky of men, and the Sc
quel will show which.
One OF the reasons advanced against
his confirmation. by the senate as ma
jor-general is that he has had practi-
cally no military experience and has
never been able to demonstrate that
he has military capacity of SUFFICIENT
ly high order to justify him to receive
q major-general's commission.
His friends, however, who are press
ing his confirmation have maintained
that he is a competent military man
and would acquit himself well when
ever given an opportunity.
While this discussion has been 60
ing on regarding Gen. Woods military
qualifications, dispatches were re-
ceived showing that troops under bis
command had been in fierce conflict
with the Moros Of Jolo, and that the
Moros had been driven out from their
strongholds and badly punished.
II Gen. Woods carries on the caV-
paign with success it may be the ~
swer to his critics that he is without
military ability and may secure for him
the confirmation which at the present
time is somewhat in doubt, but If on
the other hand any disaster should
happen to his troops, it would end his
chances of promotion.
Some of the opponents of the admin
istration and also of Gen. Wood say
that it is rare coincidence that at
the very moment when Gen. Wood
should be under discussion by the SEN
ate he should be engaged in this cam
paign against the Moros.
There are men in Washington who
do not hesitate to say that what Is
needed in the Philippines to conduct
relations with the Moros is not mill
tary genius. but a man of ordinary
common sense, some tact, a good deal
of diplomacy and the power Of adapt
ing himself to circumstances and rec
ognizing the peculiar prejudices Of the
Moros.
These men say that the Moros, If
properly treated, would give no trouble
at all, but II threatened or compelled
to do that which, according to their
ideas and customs. Is Objectionable to
them they will prove to be fierce and
savage fighters.
reason Tor this campaign against
the Moros has not been fully explained,
and probably members of the senate
may demand further explanation be-
fore they consent to Gen. Woods con-
firmation.
Favorable action was taken on the
request of Maj. Rathbone for the issue
Of subpoenas for army officers, and
permission was given him to prepare
list, with statements as to what he
expected to prove by each. This list
will be ready for summonses to be Is
sued soon.
The committee will designate a sub
committee to 60 to Cuba to take testi-
mony regarding the conduct of Gen.
Wood. The personnel of the commit
tee has not yet been agreed upon, nor
the number of members.
1t was determined this evening that
in order to save time a Subcommittee ee
would meet tomorrow morning in or
der to continue the examination of
Maj. Rathbone on his charges against
Gen. Wood.

II. Taylor. Died 1850"
That is the inscription on the tomb
Of Zachary Taylor, twelfth president
of the United States.
A correspondent who recently WIS.,
tied the tomb of "Old Rough and
Ready" says for over half century
it has lacked the care Of kindly
hand and is fast falling into decay. :.
Apparently nobody cares.
The tomb lies FIVE miles from Louis
Vile, and is Off the road. Ivy riots over
the weather. er.beaten blocks of granite.
The fastenings on the door are red
with rust. So far as is known no key
has turned the locks for fifty years.
Visitors are rare. 1t is doubtful II half
q dozen tourists visit the tomb during
a twelvemonth.
