WILL BE PROMOTED
COL. WOODRUFF TO BECOME A
BRIGADIER GENERAL.
Enlisted in the 10th Vermont Volun-
teers In 1862 and Went to West
Point After the War.

BY direction of the President, Col. Charles
A. Woodruff, the senior colonel of the COM
missary department, Is to be appointed
brigadier general and retired in July, when
vacancies will occur as the result of the re-
tirement of Maj. Gen. George B. Davis, in
the Philippines.
Col woodruff has had a most remarkable
career. Born in Vermont, he enlisted as a
private in the 10th Vermont Volunteers in
June, 1862, and was subsequently promoted
corporal, sergeant and second lieutenant.
Most of his service was in the department
of Washington and with the army of the
Potomac. He was with that army during
its memorable operations and battles, and
was wounded four times at Cold Harbor,
Va, necessitating his discharge in August,
1865. He drew full pension on his discharge,
but surrendered the pension in September,
1865.
Notwithstanding he was compelled to use
crutches from June, 1854. to January. 1896.
he qualified for appointment as a cadet at
the Military Academy in July, 1857, and
took the full four years course. On his
graduation he was assigned to the 7th In
fantry, and served in several important In
dian campaigns on the frontier. He took
part in the Yellowstone and Sioux expedi-
ton In 1916 and in the Nez Perces expedi-
ton in 1877.
He was engaged In the battle of Big Hole
verely wounded. He was brevetted for
gallant service in that engagement and
recommended for medal Of honor.
Notwithstanding his numerous wounds
he continued to perform his duties in the
subsistence department, to which he was
transferred In March, 1877, although in
part incapacitated for hard military duty
from their effects. His wounds were pref
ty well distributed one being in the right
leg, one in the right thigh, one in the
left thigh, one in the left heel, one in the
right shoulder and one in the head. The
wound in the leg received at Cold Har-
Dor during the civil war is still unhealed
and requires regular surgical dressing.
Colonel Woodruff rendered creditable
service in Cuba during the Spanish war. and
afterward in the Philippines. He has served
some time chief commissary in Manila,
and of late his old wounds have been Civ
ing him considerable trouble. His retire
ment will promote Lieutenant Colonel Will
liam l.. Alexander to be colonel and Major
James N Allison to be lieutenant colonel
in the commissary department.

THE TWO sHAMRoCKs RACING.
After Saturday They Will Be Fitted
With Ocean Rigs.

GOUROCK, Scotland, May 12-Sir Thos.
Upton and Designer Fife have decided that
IT is not necessary to devote further time
to trials between the Shamrocks on this
side of the Atlantic Consequently Satur-
days race will be the last The two
yachts viii be sent to the Greenock yard
Monday. in order to be fitted with their
ocean rigs. Racing. however. has been
arranged for every day this week.
The boats started at 1890 o'clock this
morning over a course from Gourock to
Rothesay and Balloch bay and return,
forty miles A light steady wind was
blowing and fine-weather canvas was set
Dn both yachts.
The Shamrock l had the advantage in
being 200 yards dead to windward when the
yachts started to beat down channel on the
hrst leg of the course, but the cup chal-
lenger. lying very high in the wind. pulled
up steadily. After couple of miles short
lacking the Shamrocks came together, and
the challenger had done so we'll that she
was able to cross the bows of her opponent
and take the lead.
On turning the Rothesay mark at the
finish of a ten-mile beat the times were:
Shamrock III-1.3.15.
Shamrock I-11l.40.

MR.. coNaER SUSTAINED.
His Agreement With China Approved
by the State Department.

The State Department fully sustains the
action of Minister Conger and his asso-
ciate commissioners in effecting an agree
ment with China for the payment Of the
arising from the Boxer troubles
on the basis of the rate of exchange as It
existed In 1901. The contention Of the other
powers, parties to the treaty of Peking, If
sustained, would require China to pay her
debt twice over almost, and Secretary Hay
took the position that 1t was unfair and
inequitables to require that unfortunate
country to make good the heavy losses
caused by changes in the ratio between
gold and silver. which changes were. in
fact. not brought about or Influenced by
China, but by the powers themselves in
large part. AS the United States has
steadfastly insisted on being treated on an
equality with other powers, however, it
follows that those powers must accept their
indemnity on the same basis as that ar
ranged for yesterday. or that If they in
sist upon squeezing China into payment on
the present exchange basis. then the United
States will also be entitled to her proper
t1onate increase.

MR.. ALLIsON's BIG TASK.
Preparing "Stand Pat" Tariff Plank
for Iowa Republicans.

One of the busiest men these days Is
Senator Allison of Iowa. He has a big con-
tract on his hands and is perplexed how to
fill 1t. He is out west just now, but infor-
nation is at hand of his troubles; he was
down at Hot Springs, Va, the other day to
get help.
Senator Allison is engaged In preparing
"stand-pat" tariff plank, on which a tariff
revisonist candidate can stand. Senator
Allison is renowned as a mediator, COM
poser of differences, a solver Of problems.
but they say this is the biggest Job he has
yet undertaken. He found 1t SO big that he
came east to talk 1t over with Senator Aid
rich and Senator Spooner, and, 1t is said, he
thinks he will be able after that consulta-
ton to perform the difficult task.
Gov. Cummins of Iowa, the father Of the
tariff revision movement In that state, is
coming up for denomination. The party
leaders in the state are willing that he
should have the denomination, but Gov.
Cummins has wanted 1T on a platform Of
his own choosing, which would, Of course,
indorse tariff revision.
The national managers are not willing
that a stanch republican state. such as Is
Iowa, should come out for policy which
the national party will not, they think, adopt
in the presidential campaign So they
of the party in Iowa, to see II he couldn't
fix up compromise that would leave
everybody happy and do no harm to any
ones interests.
Senator Allison's aim. it is said. is to
prevent struggle in the state convention
which might disrupt the republican party
in Iowa. His eastern conferees are not So
much interested in the welfare of the lows
republicans as in preventing anything that
would seem to lean toward immediate tariff
revision. So the senator, 1t is said, was
sent back to Iowa with his hand much
strengthened on the 'stand-pat' PROPOSE

THE TROUBLE EXPLAINED.
Alleged Grounds for Complaint Filed
With italian Ambassador.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BECKLEY, W. Va, May 12-The trouble
with the Italian laborers at this place. an
account of which was recently submitted to
the italian ambassador at Washington,
arose, it is said, over an attempt on their
part to jump their board bills. They did
not work very much during the month Of
April on account of the bad weather, and
consequently got behind with the boarding
house keepers. When they started to leave
without paying their board warrant was
sworn out, and they were arrested and
held here in the court house under guard
one night.
The following morning Justice G. w.
Richardson and Attorney A. P. Farley of
this place went out to the railroad camps,
about three miles from Beckley to inspect
the books. They found that the charges
against the Italians were correct, and that
they were behind for their board. An in
terpreter then explained to them why they
were arrested and why they had been
brought back to camp. This seemed to
satisfy them. They agreed to return to
work. They did SO, and worked till their
board was paid.
The guards in whose charge the Italians
were left when they were arrested in Beck
ley tied them with rope. When Justice
heard of this he went Immediately back
and cut the ropes Off Of them. They did
not remain bound over thirty minutes.
The guards bound them, they said,
through fear The Italians were excited,
angry, and all of them seemed to be talking
at once and as the guards could not under
stand their language they decided that,
without their knowledge, the foreigners
could form a plot to slay the guards and
escape, and they would know nothing of
their intentions until the blow should be
struck.
The state commissioner of labor, I. v.
Barton, was In Beckley the 7th instant.
From Justice Richardson he learned the
facts of the trouble as they are here stated.
The squabble over the board bill is the
only trouble ever had at this place between
the operators and foreign labor. The Ital-
ians were treated no worse than Americans
would have been treated under the same
circumstances, with the exception that
Americans would not have been bound with
ropes. The fears of the guards may have
been groundless, and no doubt were, but
they did not know 1t, and when the situa-
ton Is viewed with all its surroundings
no one, 1t is presumed, will be disposed to
attach much blame to the guards They
did not bind the prisoners, they state,
through any desire or intention of ill-treat-
ing them.
