STATEMENT BY MILES.
Has no Apology to Offer SO Far as
His Connection With the Impris-
onment of jefferson Davis Was
Concerned

Boston February Sin a statement
issued today concerning the recent ac-
count Of the Imprisonment of Jeffer-
son Davis at Fortress Monroe, in 1906.
General Miles says:
TIE matter has been agrtated at
different periods during the last forty
wears. but never before has it been dis
cussed in the halls of Congress As far
as nv official action is concerned, 1t
was directed by the highest authorltyk
it received the approval of. and has
never been questioned by my superiors
or tie government. I have no apology
to offer of any kind TO any person The
charge that the acts of the highest Of
fetal of the government or myself were
prompted for the purpose of humillat-
ing Mr.. Davis or the people who asso-
ciataG and sympathized with him, IS
as Luerile as it is utterly untrue.
TT is to be regretted that the nlgn
officials. President Johnson, Secretary y
stanton and Dante. Judge Advocate
General Holl and Major General Hal

might answer the vicious vituperation

publicans by Mr.. Cochran, Of Mis-
souri,. in the matter Of rate legisla-
ton, who said that it was not intend
ed to pass the proposed legislation,
but simply to do something to pacify
public sentiment.
Mr.. Esch, of Wisconsin. who assist
ed in framing the Townsend bin.
summed up the arguments for and
against that bill up to the present
time. Some, he said, had regarded
it as the most important legislation
since the rebellion, While others had
contended it amounted to nothing.
Such extreme views, he held to be
indicative of the fact that the bill
was what it was claimed to be-a
compromise. He then entered into
a lengthy discussion justifying the
action of the majority of the COM
mittee in providing the special court

tered.
Maintaining that the railroads con-
stitutad a trust, Mr.. POu, of North
Carolina, while not questioning the
sincerity of the President said he was
Of party that belonged body and
soul to the trusts and that any legis-
lation which popular clamor forced
would be the mildest and least hurt
full to the railroads that Republican
ingenuity could possibly evolve.
Mr.. James, of Kentucky, accused
the President of taking the platform
Of the Democratic party that bears
the bloody stain of Bryan's faithful
feet and holding it up to the peo-
pie Of the country. He cared not
how much it was said the Democrats
were following the President He
knew that the soldiers of the United
States followed the President gall
lantly at San Juan hill, But" he
added, no more. sir, than the
Democracy will follow him when he
charges the Harrimans. the Wander
bills, the Cassatts and the Hills in
this country of wealth.
The Democrats applauded Mr..
HefIin. of Alabama, when he said
that Williams Jennings BRYAN. the
Daniel Of Democracy. has advocated
the present legislation before the
people Of the country"
In characteristic speech Mr.
Gaines. of Tennessee. who was the
sole Democrat who voted with the
Republicans on the abortion of the
rule. SAID he did SO because he found
them right on the question. even
though they gritted their teeth after
having heen legged on by the Pres
ident who had applied the cato nine
tails to their backs.
A number OF other representatives
spobe on the bill The House ad-
journed until tomorrow.

Dawson has cabled the state depart

protocol providing for the responsibility
Of San Domingo finances by the Unit

document Is expected here early next

lines OF the original protocol so far as
concerns the administration Of the Gus.
toms by officials designated by the
United States and the segregation OF
a portion OF the customs receipts to
defray the foreign indebtedness OF the
country.
An important feature OF the protocol
is the omission OF the provision In the
original memorandum OF January Hst.
guaranteeing the integrity Of San Do
mingo. The new document simply
binds the United States TO respect tho
integrity of San Dominican territory.
The Monroe doctrine is regarded Ia
sufficient to convey the broader guar
antee It also Is provided that the new
protocol must, before becoming efYec-
tive be approved, not only by the Unit-
ed State Senate, but by the Dominican
Congress. s

London, February s.-The privy coun-
Gil rendered it's decision this morning
in the Greene-Gaynor case, in favor
of the American government.
The council reversed the two judg-
ments Of Justice Caron Of Quebec, Au-
gust 18th, 1902, and ordered the respon-
dents to pay the costs of the appeal.
The councils decision causticarly crit
releasing Greene and Gaynor as Caron's
extraordinary intervention" and adds:
Where a prisoner is brought before
compentent tribunal charged with
an extradition offence, and is remanded
for the express purpose of affording
the prosecution an opportunity of
bringing forward evidence whereby the
accusation is to be supported, if in sucn
case upon a writ of habeas corpus a
nullity and proceeds to adjudicate the
case as though the whole evidence was
before him, it would paralyze the ai-
ministration of justice and render it
impossible for proceedings in extradi-
ton to be effective
The decision simply reverses Justice
Caron's judgments, and leaves Greene
and Gaynor under remand as before
Justice Caron interviewed.
John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D.
Greene We're indicted in Savannah, Ga,
December 8, 1899, charged with embez-
element and defrauding the United
States government, together with Cap
tain Oberlin NJ. Carter, in the perforni-
ance of government contracts for the
improvement of the Savannah river
and other river and harbor work in that
district, the Illicit profits being esti-
mated at 1000, 900. Gaynor and Greene
We're arrested in New York. They con-
tested extradition to Georgia and when
the United States commissioner decided
that they must go to that state and
plead to the indictments they fed to
Canada. They had been at liberty on
$4,000 bail each and this was for
feited. Efforts to extradite Gaynor
and Greene from Montreal were pro-
crossing favorably and the extradition
commission was sitting in Montreal
when Gaynor and Greene went to Que
bee. A question arose as to whether
they could be brought back and detec-
tives kidnapped them and took them
to Montreal. There was a big legaI
fight over this action, and a Quebec
Judge issued a writ of habeas corpus
which was served on the jailor at Nom
treal who delivered UP the prisoners
without notification to the extradition
tribunal, and permitted them to be
rushed back to Quebec. Efforts to
quash the writ of habeas' corpus under
which they had been returned were
denied by Justice Caron. After long
legal controversy. Gaynor and Greene
obtained their liberty within the limits
of the province of Quebec. The United
States government then appealed to
the privy council of England, the high
est court in that country.

RUSSIAN STRIKE SITUATION.
WORkMEN IN TWO CONCERNS
QUIT WORK.
Hopes Are Still Expressed That an
Amicable Settlement VIII Soon be
Made-Maxim Gorky Interrogated
by the Public Prosecutor.

St Petersburg, February So a. M
the public prosecutor was begun yester-
day in the court of justice, to which he
was driven in a carriage from the fort
ress Of st. Peter and St. Paul. Gorky
is quite we'll and is subjected to only
the ordinary regulations of prisoners
in the fortress which require the wear
ing of special garb to prevent the pos
sfbility Of their escape. The Associated
Press is informed on the best author
ity that the prison fare and accOmmo-
dations at the fortress are better than
at other prison in st. Petersburg, sew
eral of which are models of their kind.
Prisoners in the fortress are confined
in roomy, we'll heated casemates and
exercised daily. The stories of terrible
hardships and privations are said to he
baseless. The chief reason for the
dread of being confined in the fortress
is due to the fact that an inmate is
unable in any way to communicate
with his fellow prisoners, the casemates
being sound proof.
The Associated Press representative
yesterday talked with Madam Gorky,
who apparently is not deeply worried.
After her interview with her husband
on Tuesday she petitioned the comman-
dant of the fortress that M. Gorky be
allowed towear ordinary clothes and use
writing matrials; but she said to the
Associated Press that-her husband was
not anxious to write. What is The
use of writing he told her, when,
according to the fortress regulations,

 to whom I confided my desire to go on the sstage. He said he'd give me a position at
 once. Then I thought of my mothers
 disapproval; but MT. Pastor suggested that I come down in my ordinary attire
 sing a few ballads, and even then could get back home before anyone missed me. It was great temptation, and agreed. In order to keep it secret, took the stage name of Lillian Russell my own name was Helen Louise Leonard; t;
 but there was my mother to be consid- and then a newspaper man said pleas antly to my mother: You ought to see Lillian Russell, that English girl down at Pastors Can you see me in a cold sweat? My mother went down to the performances: Il hurried home. and reached there before she did: then I waited in terror until she arrived. She came in looked me over, -and said: Well, think you can afford to pay for your own music lessons'-and after that I had to. I got $50 week and my first weeks wages was advanced to get me the gown I wanted; i; and I paid 1t back, $10 each week. Now. when my salary Is forty times as much, [. l haven't any more left"
