TESTIMONY.

Secretary Root Criticises the Pub
ished Reports Of the Hearings.

AS announced in yesterdays Star Sec
rotary Root has written a letter to Gen.
Proctor Of the Senate committee on mill
tary affairs in regard to the case of Gen.
Wood. He incloses a letter from Brig.
Gen. Tasker H Bliss. calling attention to
the report of his recent testimony before
the committee as witness regarding cer-
tain objections to the confirmation of Gen.
Wood.
ut appears" says Secretary Root, that
the press reports of Gen. Bliss testimony
are the precise contrary of what he in fact
testified. He wishes this set right for his
own reputation, and shall take the liberty
OF doing so as far as practicable by giving
his letter to the press.
"At the same time I wish to call the at
tention OF the committee to the fact that
some person seems to be persistently fur-
nishing to the press false statements OF The
testimony taken before you, the perverslon
of the evidence being in every case to the
prejudice of Gen Wood. 1t cannot be
doubted that the newspapers publishing
these reports believe them to be true, ana
that the reports are sent to them by the
representatives Of the press in good faith
under the same belief. 1t Is evident that
some person is undertaking to convey to
the press representatives Information Oh
what goes on in the committee and Is TAX
ing advantage Of the fact that the evidence
is not published to state 1t falsely for the
purpose Of injuring Gen. Wood in the pub
lie estimation; SO that while your commit
tee will act upon the evidence actually
before 1t, the public judgment as to how
you ought to act will be based upon an
entirely different and erroneous Idea OF
what the evidence is. If the evidence act
ually given called for Gen. Woods pres
ence, l should, of course, bring him back
from the Philippines, but 1 do not feel
justified in withdrawing him from the i'm
portant duties which he Is performing on
account of false reports of evidence when
has never in fact, been given. 1t hardly
seems fair that an officer who is not here

try faithfully, under orders, on the other
side of the world, should have his reputa-
tion stabbed in this way I earnestly re-
quest your committees attention to his

CHAPTER XII.

There were two separate and distinct
sides to the annual carnival Of the knights
of Midas. The main object to which the
many committees on arrangements ad-
dressed themselves was the assembling In
Clarkson OF as many people as could be col
lected by assiduous advertising and the
granting OF special privileges by the
railroads. The streets must be filled.
and to fill them and keep them
filled 1t was necessary to entertain the
masses; and this was done by nro-
yiding what the committee on publicity
and promotion proclaimed to be a monster
Pageant of Industry. The spectacle was
not tawdry nor ugly. 1t did not lack
touches of real beauty. The gaily deck
ed floats. borne over the street car tracks
by trolleys. were like parges from a pa
geant OF the old world in the long ago.
impelled by mysterious forces From
many floats fireworks summoned the heav-
ems to behold the splendor and bravery of
the parade. The procession was led by
the Knights of Midas, arrayed in yellow
robes and wearing helmets which shone
with all the effulgence of bright tin. There
was series of floats on which Commerce,
Agriculture Transportation and Manufac-
turing We're embodied and deified in the
persons of sundry young women, posed in
appropriate attitudes and lifted high on
uncertain pedestals for the admiration Of
the multitude. On other cars men follow
ed strenuously their callings; coopers
hammered hoops upon their barrels; q
blacksmith. with an infant forge at his
command, made the sparks fly from his
anvil as his float rumbled by An enor-
nous steer was held in check by ropes.
and surrounded by murderous giants from
the abattoirs; Gambrinus smiled down
from a proud height of kegs on men that
bottled beer below. Many brass bands.
including famous cowboy band from
Lone Prairie, and an Indian boy band
from a Wyoming reservation, played the
newest and most dashing marches of the
day. Thus were the thrift. the enterprise,

and a half years that I served directly I'M
der the orders of General Wood, as military
governor of Cuba, knew of no action OF
his that was not consistent with the cnar-
acter Of an honorable officer and man OF

Earnings Of the Railways.

The annual report of Gen. James Long
street, United States commissioner of rail-
roads shows that while the net earnings
of the bond-aided railroads have increased
over the preceding year the increase is
much less marked than that Of last year,
owing to washouts, scarcity of labor. in
creased cost Of fuel, etc. Many permanent
improvements and the addition of 1900
miles to the lines of these roads are re-
