mand of the army on the retirement of
General Miles one week ago. relin-
quishes the position and becomes the

Corbin and Carter. In addition to
these three officers of high rank, the
staff consists of forty-two officers rang
ing from colonels to first lieutenant.
Every corps and department is repre-
sented except the pay and medical de
partments.
General Young will retire for age
next January, and will be succeeded
as chief of staff by Major General Ad

TYPICAL OF AMERICAN WASTE.

According TO calculations made by
the Railway Age of Chicago. the
railroads of the country are using
10000 900 ties year merely to re
place those worn out by use. They
cost the roads about s55 ,0O0. 900 an
nually, and what also of their cost to
the forests of the country? There Is
tremendous waste even in this appar-
emily small matter. The life OF the
average tie used by the American
railroads is not much over five years,
but in France ties OF beachwood treat
ed with preseryatives are found to be
good for twenty-five or thirty years.
The railroad tie. like good many
other things, is typical OF American
waste and extravagance.-Spri
