More About Railroad Changes

1t is reported here that negotia'
tlons are pending between the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroads for
the acquisition by the former OF
the Valley RAILROAD, which will
thereafter be operated exclusively
by the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road. The people OF this commu-
nifty are unanimously and earnest
ly opposed to such All arang ,ment
as this, which would deprive them
Of the benefit Of having two rail
roads, instead of one.
Recently there was a movment
by the Harrisonburg, Staunton and
Lexington Boards Of Trade for the
establishment Of through pas
senger service from Hdrrisonburg
to Lynchburg, but it was not in
tended by this to Interfere with
the operation Of the Valley Rail.

Company, and the people here say
that il the surrender of the Valley
road to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Company is the only condition
upon which the through train SER

very much rather forego that

tween General Kuropatkin and other
generals and more or less discomfort
among the men has depressing effect
upon the general march OF the Russian
forces.

1t will be recalled that tae negotia-
tions. the failure of which resulted In
the war, were begun in July, 1908,
when japan besought Russia for a
friendly adjustment OF their mutual
interests In Manchuria and Korea.
Russia, preserving the semblance OF
peaceful Intentions, agreed to take up
the question, japan asked:
/. A mutual agreement to respect
the independence AMI territorial

2. Equality for the CONNER ce Of all

3. Recognition of Japan's prepond-

Russia delayed her answers. and
when she finally gave them, from thu

Claims General Miles Mistreat ted
President Davis.

Claims General Miles Mistreated
President Davis.
Rev. DIR. j. William Jones, chap
lain Of the United Confederate
Veterans, who vess . close friend
Of President Jefferson Davis, 10 out
in lengthy document denying the
correctness of the recollsstions OF
General Nelson A. Miles, who has
been the bette noir Of the South for
forty years because he put Mr..
Davis in irons when the latter was
his prisoner at Fortress Monroe.
DIR. Jones says the statement OF
General Milesis most amazing
one, and that tits utterly at var
lance with the facts in the case.
In beginning his statement DR..
Jones says: ''ln the controversy
between President Roosevelt and
others with General Miles l have
taken 10 interest whatever; indeed,
have been disposed to say, "A
plague on both your houses. -
He then takes up the article Of
General Miles at length and denies
its allegations seriatim.
There is no truth in tie asser-
tion that Mr.. Davis was under ar
rest to awnit trial for completely
in the ASSASSINATION of Mr.. Lincoln {;
that even Holt and his band Of
trained perjurers" did not dare tc
try him on such charge.
DR.. Jones shows that General
Miles was never directed to iron
Mr.. Davis, but only empowered to
do SO if it seemed necessary. He
also pointed out that Secretary OF
War Stanton reproved him for
lettering his prisoner and ordered
him to remove the irons.
General Miles, says the Confed
crate chaplain further on, can
scarce have letters from Mrs. Davis
thanking him for his kindness to
her husband, since in her book on
President Davis one chapter il
headed 1.-The Tortures Inflicted by
General Miles"
To clinch the whole matter DR..
Jones says:
~ will now briefly introduce one
witness, whose testimony ~ unim-
peach BILE. ! II can Mr.. Davis
himself. | CHANGED to be at
Bsauvoir just after he had sent TO
the North American Review a
paper on The Treatment of Pris-
oners During the War Between the
States, in which he hao a para
graph which scorched Nelson A.
Miles in that severe manner OF
which Presi lent Davis was 80 ca
pable when aroused.
"He told me that the editor, who
was friend Of Miles, had written
him that he could not publish tie
paper unless That paragraph was
omitted.
"Rising from his seat, his eyes
flashing fire, and showing more
feeling than l ever saw in him
upon any other occasion, hs said:
Il wrote back that this paragraph
would not be altered by the dot
ting of an or tie crossing of u t,
for l was determined to band down
Miles to immortal infamy.'"
DR.. Jones seems to be sustained
in his views by the story of Mr..
Davis, and the recollections OF DIR
Craven, the Federal surgeon who
attended Mr.. Davis, are that his
condition rendered any attempt to
escape out Of the question.
