MILES REPORT HELD BACK.

to the Philippines, and the report is so
interesting that the War Department can
not be persuaded to stop studying it long
glimpse of it.
The American people are nightly in
terested in what Gen. Miles may have 10
say about the condition and conduct OF
the army, and they have a right to de-
mand the publication of his report. II
that demand is ignored, the public will
conclude that the War Department is
afraid of the truth, and hoplessly COM
mitted to the policy of invasion. conceal
ment. and classification which is black
spot upon Secretary Roots otherwise able
administration of army affairs.
The combination of Miles. the truth,
and public opinion was too strong for
Alger and his following of crooked con-
tractors and embalmed- commissaries,
and in the long run ii may prove too
much for Secretary Root to handle. The
War Department will hardly have the
effrontery to say that the report made by
the Lieutenant General is in defamation
of the army or false in its statements,
When the people understand that 1t is the
purpose of the Department to bury the in
formation gathered by Gen. Miles, they
will insist that the report be made public

negie Steel Company, who is coming to
this city from Pittsbarg next week. Thu
new process which Mr.. Pinkham has in
vented is based on chemicals. To n Tri-
bune reporter yesterday Mr.. Pinkham
said:
This process Will make a better steel At
a cost OF about two cents a pound than
any steel 1 have ever seen-even that
metal that retails at 90 cents pound. Ey
its use old steel tools, even those that
have been burned ard are supposedly
worthless. can be made as good as the

transform two hundred pounds of steel

Then, about twenty years ago. he began
using chemicals, but not until about four
