ed. instead of seeking TO remedy the
wrongs himself Adjutant-General
Corbin has been the particular oppo-
nent of Gen. Miles. and the military
circle has been divided into Miles and
Corbin factions as sharply as the naval
department was divided into Sampson
and Schley parties during that I'M
fortunate controversy.
Gen. Miles has repeatedly asked TO
be assigned to the Philippines, but al
ways refused. Last year he made
severe charges against the conduct OF
affairs in the Philippines, including
the reports that gross cruelties were
resorted to by our soldiers. This did
not tend to improve his relations with
his department, and he would have
been called to account but for the fact
that he is to retire from the army next

controversy under such conditions.
Gen. Miles was given vacation and
allowed to tour the globe, but it seems
he returns to trouble his enemies even
at the last hour
just what attention will be paid to
his late report Is uncertain. The sub
ject it covers ,has been pretty well
threshed out already. Undoubtedly,
Gen. Miles found some basis for his
charges and criticisms. This must
have given him inordinate satisfaction,
for it was with that purpose in view
that he studied the question. It's a
curious spectacle to see the head of the
army busily engaged in discrediting it
before the world in order TO revenge
himself for personal grievances.

100000 FIRE IN RUTLAND.
Two Business Blocks, With Their
Contents, Destroyed.

IRE AT an early nOuf MONDAY morn
ing in.Rutland Quilted the upper stories
OF the odd Fellows building on the
west side of Merchants Row, owned by
j. +. Buxton of Aliddletown Springs,
and the Dunn block, which adioins il
on the south. The upper floors OF
both buildings were total loss, with
their contents. The stores below were
badly damaged by water. The entire
loss on the property and stock is
placed at $50 900, being well covered
| by insurance
The upper floor of tue Buxton block
was occupied by the Odd Fellows.
The paraphernalia and furniture OF
five bodies OF the order which were
quartered there was valued at $500
and was destroyed. The loss is par
TALLY offset by an insurance of $4,000.
The goods of Attorney A. G.. Coolidge,
the Christian Scientists and Dr. A. +.
Phillips, on the second floor, were a
total loss. They We're valued at 81,
600, $4,000 and $3.50, respectively.
Doctor Phillips carried $500 insurance,
but the others carried none. The firm
of Ill. &. Durkee 4 Co.. groeers, which
mad just moved into the Buxton block,
is heavy loser.
The fire descended this store from
above and the entire stock. the esti-
mated value being $1,000, is "A total
loss. j. NJ. Wilson, caterer, suffered
greatly from water. He places his
loss at $500. Both of these firms
were protected we'll by insurance.
The rooms OF the Neshobe Social club,
on the upper floor OF the Dunn build
ing were ruined and nearly all the
clubs effects, to the value of nearly
81 200, were burned. The insurance
on this property was about 81 900.
The law offices on the second floor OF
the Dunn building, occupied by Frank
ID. White and James A. Merrill, were
flooded by water. Judge Merrill
rescued most OF his books but MIR.
White was out of the city, and his
books were badly damaged. Dunn
brothers, plumbers and crockery
dealer, had stock on hand valued at
$4,000. A large part OF it was stored
in the loft and this was totally de-
stroyed. Inc goods in the store were
flooded and are almost a total loss.
Adds ID. Ross, a dry goods dealer. on
the ground door, had a stock worth
q. 200. which is a total loss. Brown
and Garrett. jewellers. succeeded in
getting out most OF their stock. but
the fixtures were ruined. The damage
to real estate is estimated approx
mately at $4,000. Much of the atten-
ton OF the department was directed
early to saving the opera house. which
was near the origin Of the fire. Sew
eral times the root OF the opera house
caught fire.
The fire was discovered about AIS
O'Clock. The department had a stub
born fight as the blocks were in the
heart OF the business section and
blocks adjoined on both sides. The
fire started in a light shaft over the
Durkee store it is thought IRON an
electric wire. although the electric
light people state that this was i'm
possible. Both blocks will undoubt-
eddy be rebuilt.

A meeting has been called in Rut-

liquors or not. Inasmuch as the

EASTERN AFFAIRS.

There are at present two centers Of
political trouble that promise serious
results in the East. One of these has
its seat in the Balkan peninsula. The
mixed races of this territory, with
their different religions, so-called, are
engaged in discord. The Albanians
are in open rebellion against Turkish
authority, and heavy forces are trying
to repress them. Russia is an inter-
ested spectator, ever watching, hoping
and scheming for some opening that
will give her a plausible excuse for
forcing Turkey out of Europe and
occupying Constantinople, thus gain
ing the long-coveted foothold on the
Mediterranean. This present outbreak
may afford the opportunity. Russia
urges the Turk to maintain order, but
if he exhibits his usual savagery
toward the Christian rebels an outcry
would arise from the whole civilized
world against him, and then Russia
would step in as the noble champion.
SeeP
The other disturbance is in Man
churia. 1t will be remembered that
during the Boxer troubles in China
Russia invaded this territory with
strong forces. The other allies, keenly
jealous and anxious to preserve Chi
nese integrity, not for its own sake,
but to checkmate each other, united in
protest and required OF Russia a prom
Use that she would withdraw from
Manchuria within specified time, or
as soon as she could put into force
certain measures that all were willing
to see operative, 1t was then pre-

Russia would find some way of evad-
ing her promise, Now she demands
of China that before she will withdraw
her troops certain changes in admin
shall be made in Manchurla
which in effect virtually hand over to
the car the political and commercial
control.
China has refused and appealed TO
other powers, which are now brought
lace to face with a serious dilemma.
