GEN. M1LEs's JOURNEY.
His Desire to Go Over Russia's Great Siberian Railroad on His Return.


 Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A letter was received by Mrs. Frank Wfborg of this city, within the past two days, from her husband. who is with General Miles on his tour of the Ori- ental countries. It seems that General Miles and MT. Wiborg are to be the first Americans to make a tour of the great Siberian Railway, which is expected to play such an important part in the fu- ture history of Russia. They left China and took the route to Siberia. where they succeeded in reaching the terminus of the great road. It Is said that they will be the first Americans who have ever trav- eIed from China to St. Petersburg by the new route.
 General Miles, accompanied by MT. Wi borg, left this country some months ago to make an inspection of the forces in the Philippine Islands in his capacity of commander of the army, and from time to time there have been stories to the effect that he would make some startling reports when he returned As the rank ing general of the United States Army, he will, of course, receive great atten- ton when he reaches the city where the Czar lives, and 1t is said that he expects to make a thorough investigation of the Russian military system.
 He Is especially interested in the Sibe. rian Railroad for the reason that Russia is understood to have built that road purely for military purposes. Russia is confronted with many of the propositions that the United States would have to meet in the event of war--that is, the mobilization within a short space of time of troops scattered over an immense tsr- ritory. The Siberian Railroad will en- able Russia to do this, and 1t is to study the question and see the practical work ings of 1t thOt General Miles determined to make the trip over the road.
 The Department of State was far from anxious that he should make the trip. but when the General left China he said: "On to Russia and over the Siberian Railroad" and on they went. The Gem eral said that he pursued Indians through mountains when the thermometer was below zero many degrees and that he was not afraid of the cold of Siberia, so the expedition headed for Russia Gen eral Miles. when he sailed. was supposed to make a tour of the Philippines, and so far as is known held no other com mission.

Cincinnati. Jan. 2.LThe National League today heard the reports of the majority and minority of the committee on the whole on the proposed peace agree ment with the American League and at late hour tonight the meeting had not adjourned.
 At the night session statement was | issued by John T. Brush, President of | the New York club, in which he said
 that he had directed that the injunction proceedings instituted in Philadelphia and | New York against the majority members
 of the National League be discontinued
 and it was dismissed. He gave as his
 reason for this action that he had secur- ed full and free discussion of the peace agreement which was the object desired
 when the proceedings were instituted and 1 that hence they were useless.
 The majority report which was submit | ted by Philadelphia, Pittspurg. Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, was signed early | in the morning and recommended the adoption of the agreement reached by | the peace conference with the American League with the fifth section, regarding | the placing of club in New York by the American League construed to mean the
 borough of Manhattan and not Greater New York.
 The minority report was not presented | late in the afternoon. It was signed by 6TOOklyn ana New IOrk, Boston 6 Slg- | nature not being attached to any of the
 documents. This report was a resume of
 the objections that have been presented ! during Ire week by New York and Brook | lyn. While protesting against the peace agreement as a whole and also against
 the manner of It's adoption, the report protested especially against the third sec
 ton under which players were awarded, | the fifth section which included New
 York in the American League circuit
 and the ninth section which specifically
 binds each of the sixteen clubs of the two leagues to the compact. The two
 minority members were divided among
 themselves regarding the application of 1 the third section. Brooklyn insisted un- conditionally on the claims of that club
 of Kitson, Donovan and Keeler, while
 New York proposed to submit the whole
 question of the awarding of players to a
 board of five arbitrators. two of them se- | lected bv each league and the fifth to
 be selected by the four.
 A long discussion followed the presenta- | +ion of the minority renort and a recess | was taken at o'clock for one hour. ! When the session reconvened 1t was gen.
 orally predicted that unless the majority
 demanded the previous question and com
 pleted the work of final ratification the
 meeting would be in session all night.

The court room was crowded. many ladies, including Mrs. Lynch, being among those present.
 Colonel Lych was pale and careworn, but he stood composedly listening to the lengthy indictment, which occupied nearly an hour in reading.

character caused by privation and expos sure from the coal famine"
 Illinois, has extensive mines of bitu- minous coal, with abundant railway fa- cilities for transporting 1t, and if the shortage in Chicago Is due to combina- tions and jo5bery on the part of mine owners, transporters or dealers, then grave crimes have been committed. AL ready a grand jury, by order of the Court, is engaged in investigating the coal shortage in that city. But 1t is not alone in Chicago that the people are suf- fering for coal. Complaints come from other parts of Illinois, while in all the Eastern States, where the principal de- pendance has been on anthracite coal, the scarcity of fuel has become extremely serious
 The question may well be asked Why oo not all the people who can. flee from the terrible winters of the Northern otates! Accounts are published of thousands of emigrants from Minnesota, iowa, Wisconsin and the Dakotas nov Ing northward into British America be- cause they can buy cheap lands on which 70 grow wheat. Why not come South, where mild winter temperatures are the ruie' and where lands of the most fer tie description are cheap? Once in a SetuIy as LOW temperature as 29 de- grees IS experienced in New Orleans. while snow falls perhaps five times in a hundred years. These unexpected wis., itations pinch our people severely, but they, fortunately. are not often expe- rienced.
 ine people who live in attitudes where much zero weather is experienced would oo well to take notice of differences of chmate. New Orleans is but little above ~ degrees of latitude north of the equa- tor. All that part of the United States west of the Mississippi River runs up to ~ degrees north latitude. 20 degrees north or New Orleans. Twenty degrees of the earth latitude makes very great dif- terence In climate. and this fact should turn the attention of many people from those Northern States Southward, either Tor permanent homes or for winter re- sorts.
