NOT TO COMMEND GEN. MILES.
Report From Presidents Home Town
Says No Action VIII lie Taken.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y. Aug. lO--lt was
reported here tonight, unofficially, that the
Administration has no intention of issuing
commendatory letter to Gen. Miles
similar to that which was issued by Presi-
dent Cleveland upon the retirement OF
Gen, Schofield. The report could not be
confirmed, but those who are in a position
TO know say that the President undoubtedly
Will not take any such action now.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 Secretary Root
made positive denial this afternoon Of
the statement that he had recommended
TO the President that a complimentary
order be Issued in connection with the
retirement Of Gen. Miles and that the
President had vetoed the suggestion.
He said that the subject of Gen Miles's
retirement was not mentioned on the occa-
sion OF his visit to Oyster Bay, and that
there was no thought of issuing anything
but the usual formal announcement
Comment was made to-day by friends Of
Gen. Miles on the fact that, notwithstanding
the army regulations against the issuing
OF, orders eulogistic Of retiring officers.
such orders were issued in the case Of
Gen. Merritt, Gen. Brooke and Gen. Otis.
The explanation made at the War De-
partment is that these officers were re-
tired from an immediate active service
in the field, which made it proper to call
attention to their services.

PRESIDENT TRIES TO KEEP ROOT
wants Him TO Stay in the Cabinet Until
1905.

OYSTER BAY n. Y. Aug 1O-The report
sent out from Washington to-day that
Secretary Root will resign from the Cabinet
at the end of the current year and will be
succeeded by Gov Taft OF the Philippines
is denied by high authority. II was learned
tonight that nothing definite is settled
about Mr.. Roots retirement OF about a
successor TO him,
President Roosevelt, it was announced
tonight. ever since the possibility of Mr.
Roots resignation was suggested, has
hoped, and still hopes. to have him con-
tinue as Secretary of War for a long time,
certainly through the winter and probably
for a longer period. The President, il is
said. is urging him strongly, with good
chances of success, to remain until 1905.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10,-Early last fall
Secretary Root determined to retire at
the close of the following session of Con-
gress, but decided not to do so in view
of the Presidents urgent wish that he be-
come a member of the Alaskan Boundary
Tribunal. Meanwhile, all the really impor-
ant work in connection with the General
Staff and other army reforms was mapped
out and nothing now remains to be done
but to put the system in operation. This
will be formally done Aug. is, a few days
before Secretary Root leaves for London.
The work of putting the General Staff
in shape will come under the direction of
Con. Oliver. who will return here Sept. /,
to assume his duties as Assistant Secretary
of War and will continue at the head of the
War Department during Secretary Roots
absence in Europe.
The familiarity Of Gov. Taft with affairs
in the Philippines has led to the suggestion
that he may succeed Mr.. Root as Secretary
of War. The story went the rounds to-day
that Mr. Root would retire on his return
from Europe. but this was not confirmed
by Mr.. Root himself.

IN TOW OF A Rig WHALE.
Fishermen or Block Island Get . Lively
Half Hours Ride.

BLOCK ISLAND, R. l., Aug. iO.-Repre-
sentative Tai Dodge and Bill Hooper, his
partner, had q lively time with sixty-fve-
foot whale seven miles southeast of Block
Island on Saturday afternoon last. They
struck big fellow squarely, The whale got
away, but hanging to it is two-inch line,
1000 feet long and this is fast to lance
in the whales back. When last seen the
big fellow was going south at express train
speed.
Dodge and Hooper went out in the Earl
and Nettie after fish. They ran into
school of yellow fms The fish were jump
ing like fun. The commotion indicated
trouble among the fish, and in few seconds
the schooner's crew sighted a big whale
sucking in barrels of fish at gulp Another
big fellow came up and "blowed" himself
twice. Once thirteen other whales showed
their tough skins above the sad waves
and Tai Dodge said;
BILL I've got ter have one Of them pesky
devils of the deep"
Hooper got out the whaling gear and
went forward to pick out a victim and
-plunk" it. Under the bow of the vessel
a large whale Was rolling lazily, Outside
was smaller one. The smaller one was
the fish selected. Hooper let go his lance
The sharpened end of iron. backed up with
over six feet of spruce, went into the wbaes
back. The lance stood on a slant, like a
flagstaff on a torpedo boat. In fash
the whale was of like torpedo boat.
Half an hour later the line parted
