and while living had the reputation
of being the largest man in the world,
died at his home in Chicago. last

IN BEHALF OF GOOD ROADS.
Gen. Miles and W. J. Bryan Speak at
Convention.

A dispatch from st. Louis yesterday says:
The second days session of the National
and International Good Roads convention
opened with a better attendance than yes
terday. Gen. Nelson A. Miles. who is presi-
dent of the national highway commission.
made the principal address Of the forenoon.
Gen. Miles was received with great enthu-
siasm by the delegates. He spoke on the
subject Of Military Roads and National
Highway" and said. in part:
"Our government has expended $500, OO0,-
900 for the improvement of our harbors and
waterways, and now the attention Of the
public is being called to our postal roads
most useful and important to all our people,
II such expenditures of the national
easure have been made in the past for the
development of railroads and waterways. Is
it not now a most appropriate time that the
Improvement of our roads should receive
national attention and governmental aid"
Gov. Hogg pointed out the necessity for
good roads, which, he believed. could be Sc
cured only through the aid OF the national
government. He spoke of the insular policy
Of the government, and said II some OF the
money that is being sQuandered in the
Philippines could be used here in the Inn
provement of highways our roads would be
in far better condition. Col. William J.
Bryan spoke at the afternoon session, in
part, as follows:
1.-THE expenditure of money for the per-
manent improvement of the common roads
can be defended first as matter Of justice
to the people who live In the country; Sec
ond, as a matter Of advantage to the people
who do not live In the country, and, third
on the ground that the welfare of the ma
life shall. as far as possible, keep pace with
the comforts OF city ufe."

Interviewed at Jacksonville While En-
Route to st. Louis.

A dispatch from Jacksonville. Fla, yester-

Jacksonville and remained during the day.
AS to conditions in Cuba he said:
1.-The Cuban government Is getting along
well. In fact, in the present government
and the general contentment of the people
I see what have for years hoped for. and
for which / fought through two bitter wars
No one can form an adequate idea OF the
sufferings Of the Cuban people. and what
they had to contend with during the last
few years Of Spanish control. But with all
of this. the country has recuperated Won
derfulIy. and is today in a much better con-
dition industrially than those who were IN
Cuba at the close Of the war dared to hope.
1.-THE Cuban loan of So, 10000 has not
been foated, but 1t will be in short time,
and when 1t is the Cuban soldiers are to be
paid It is my desire. as well as that or
President Palma, that this debt we owe to
the soldiers who fought for their country
be paid as soon as possible.
1.-The little ripple we are having about the
taxation of patent medicines Is nothing. In
fact, this is provincial and not an fnsular
matter. The insular government is not con-
cerned There is only 2-cent tax on patent
medicine packages, and 1t does not affect
the trade to any appreciate extent.
II will see President Roosevelt while on
this trip. OF course. we feel the greatest
interest in and gratitude to the American
and best wishes of President Palma and the
Cuban government to the President of the
United States"
Gen. Gomez and party left last night for
st. Louis. They will remain in the United
States for about two weeks.
