NJ WORD OF PRAISE.
Presidents Treatment Of Gen. Miles
pfevekss Much Comment.
After 30 years Service the veterss
Soldier aettyes fss@ the Head
of the AS@f-tfts Friends
Feel deep Recruitment

Washington. Aug. g.@The retirement
perfunet6ry manner that the retire.
meBt Of lieutenant or d captain would
be promulgated. Under the circum-
stances the failure Of the president or
secretary Of war TO comment on Gen.
Miles retirement must inevitably pro-
woke widespread comment. The whole
subject was thoroughly discussed by
the president and Secretary Root
weeks ago and in army circles the COS
sips have freely predicted that no COM
plimentary paragraphs would creep
into the army orders pertaining to the
retirement.
While the distinguished services of
Gen. Miles In the great war of the re-
bellion and subsequently In affairs
against hostile Indians were given due
consideration and both the president
and Secretary Root place a high esti-
mate upon them, 1t was felt that, in
view of the relations that have existed
between the lieutenant general and the
commander-in-chief and secretary of
war covering the period since the dec
laration of war against Spain, the exec
utive could not consistently publish to
the army an order complimentary to
the retiring lieutenant general. There
fore, after careful elaboration it was
decided to adhere to the rigid rule of
the service. and issue the usual order
promulgated upon the retirement of
officers for age of whatever rank.
Miles Friends Feel Resentment.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-Wearing the blue
blouse and the gold braided hat of
member of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles
reached Chicago en- route to the an
nual encampment of the G. A.. R. at
San Francisco. He was the central
figure of an enthusiastic delegation of
eastern veterans who are booming him
for commander-in-chief of their ma
tional organization.
Gen. Miles and those with him har-
Dor deep resentment of the curtness
with which the administration powers
have placed him on the retired list
The general makes no attempt to con-
ceal this feeling of resentment.
"Those who read the brief order and
who have been cognizant of events Of
the past few years will understand
the situation" said the general. 81 be-
lieve that anyone can read and under
stand. 1 believe my friends under
stand the situation. For me to say
anything at this time would be in bad
taste. The matter is closed for the
present"

long letter, the publication of which
was authorized yesterday, President
Roosevelt commends Gov. Durbin, Of
Indiana, for the attitude he assumed
recently respecting lynching. The
president also embraces the opportu-
nifty to express his own views in refer@
ence to lynching and mob violence
generally, saying mob violence is
one form of anarchy and that
anarchy is a forerunner of tyranny.
The president vigorously urges that
the penalty for crimes that induce a
resort to lynching shall be applied
swiftly and surely, but by due process

Endorsed by Governor of Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1I.-Gov. Terrell
has Endorsed the contents of President
Roosevelt's letter to Gov. Durbin, of
Indiana, in regard to the recent action
of Gov. Durbin to prevent lynchings
in the state. He said: 81 think Pres
ident Roosevelt is on the right line.
and am in hearty accord with the
views he expresses. The majesty of
the law should be upheld, but at the
same time there should be a prompt
and speedy trial of the offenders in
that crime which most frequently ex-
cites the anger of mobs and leads to
iynchings, and the punishment should
not be delayed by technicalities."

LEE-KELLEY LETTERS.
Foreman of Jefferson City Grand
Jury Receives Express Package
from Niagara-On-the-Lak

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE
foreman of the grand jury yesterday
received a package which bore the
postmark of Niagara-on-the-Lake,
Ont. While the contents are not pub
licly known, it is supposed the pack
age contained letters sent by Daniel
]. Kelley, which he received from
former Lieut.. Gov. John A. Lee, to be
used in the bribery trial of Senator
Farris. This is taken to indicate that
Mrs. Kelley will probably not return
to Jefferson City to testify at the brib-
cry trials. 1t was Kelley's intention
to have her present the letters in per-
son and she recently came for that
purpose, but the trials were postponed
and she returned to him.
