Captured. s

Rochester, Ind, June 12.-Last night at

MIGHTY CHIEF OF STAFF
He Takes Orders From Nobody but
the President and Secre-
tary of War.

Washington, June ia committee Of
twelve of the general staff of which Cen
eral Tasker Bliss is cha irman, has nearly
completed a draft of regulations for the
government of the general staff. The
regulations to carry the general staff act
into effect will make radical changes in
the army. The chief of staff will be an
all-powerful person, uniting in himself
all the theoretical authority exercised by
the commanding general under the pres
ent law and the power heretofore unOffi-
cially vested in the adjutant general.
AS drafted, the new regulations leave
little or nothing of the adjutant generals
department and less of the inspector gen.
erals department. The adjutant general
will keep the records as now, and the or
ders to the army will be promulgated and
published by him. but the chief Of staff
will direct the issue of the orders.
He will be the intermediate between
the president and secretary of war and
the army and navy bureaus. will receive
instructions and orders from the chief Of
staff in the name of the secretary of war.
The chief of staff will have the super
vision of the troops of the line, will dl-
rect military operations, and in general
will be the most powerful officer that
ever held position in the army in times
Of peace. OF course at all times he will
be subject to the orders of the president
and the secretary Of war. Not only the
purely military matters, supposed to be
vested in the commanding general, are
given to the new staff in the new regula-
tions, but the supplies and equipments
also are under his direction. The new
regulations make the general staff officers
on duty in Washington boards to consider
all matters requiring investigation and re-
port, including inspection. The general
staff will recommend officers for detail
and promotion and the enlistment and re-
cruitment of soldiers also will be taken
from the adjutant generals department.
and given to the general staff.
! An important feature not yet wholly de-
Itermined relates to officers detailed from
the general staff to the various army de-
partments. The regulations as prepared
provide that the officers so detailed,
either to department or with a division.
or brigade in the fitld, shall become the
chief of staff of the commanding officer
of the department or division of troops
| opera ting in the field. without regard to
the rank of any other staff officers in
the command. The committee hopes to
submit a draft to General Young to-day
in order that he may send it to the Sec
rotary of war before he leaves the city.
/ General Young will make a tour of the
| great lakes next week, leaving here on
| Saturday. 49,

ITALIAN CABINET OUT
An Adverse Vote in the Chamber OF
Deputies Causes the
Trouble.

Rome, June 1.-THE cabinet ministers
decided to announce their resignation in
the chamber to-day.
Altho there was a ministerial majority
of forty, a chamber of deputies vote on
Wednesday against a parliamentary in
quiry into the conduct Of the navy de-
partment, in which proposition Signor
Gniolitti, the minister of the interior, was
a leading figure, caused the cabinet to
decide to resign on the ground that there
was no further reason for it's existence
The ministry was u til recently in union
with all the liberal elements, including
the extreme left, which, however, joined
the opposition in the adverse vote.
The king later in the day summoned
Signor Giolittle to the quirinal in order to
induce him to withdraw his resignation.
Therefore the proposed official commune
cation of the ministerial crisis was post
poned.

Winnipeg, Man, June 12.--Probably the

his attempt to put the queens brother

Of the present crisis?"
'I think it will mean eventually the
solution Of the eastern question without
the aid Of Europe. The Macedonian com

secret societies, is at the back of the re-
volt. I shall not be surprised to see King
Karageorgevitch made the ruler over the

Bulgaria, is regarded an interlopel
