Although only "a years old. Miles
had become famous in Army circles,
and Grant, Meade, Burnside, McClel-
Ian, Hooker. Hancock and every other
field officer under whom he served
urged his promotion. He continued
his record at The Wilderness. and at
SpottsylVania he led his men with
such bravery that he soon received
his commission as brigadier general.
He was later honored with the brevet
of major general with the citation,
for gallant and meritorious service
at Spottsylvania.'
In the campaign around Petersburg
the young general participated in
nearly every important action. Here
he received his fourth wound and
won another brevet as major general
bestowed in the Fall of 1865. for
highly meritorious and distinguished
conduct throughout the campaign
and particularly for bravery and
valuable services at Reams Station" !"
His last service in the war was TO
pursue Lees forces to their surren-
der at AppomattoX, winning Grants
highest praise. He was then given
command of eastern Maryland and
Virginia. and at Fort Monroe was
given the custody of jefferson Davis
after the plot which resulted in the
assassination of Lincoln. Several un-
pleasant duties resulted from this
task, which brought sharp criticism
at the time from Southern statesmen,
who charged him with having used
unduly harsh measures to safeguard
the prisoner, among which was the
shaCkling of Mr.. Davis.

Although the senior Senator comes

BRYAN IS JEERED
IN BROWN i. TALK
Ends Lecture on Evolution
Abruptly After Verbal Tilt
With Student.
By the Associated Press.

PROVIDENCE, r. T.. May 15-
William Jennings Bryan, speaking in
his campaign against the teaching of
evolution, was booed and Kissed by
Brown University students last night,
and he abruptly ended his lecture,
causticalIy assailed a student oues-
toner and left the hall
After the student, George L. Cassi-
dy, had stepped to the platform and
repeated his question at the orators s
request, Mr.. Bryan remarked that the
hour was late, and added, Ladies and
gentlemen, I've come a long way to
address You students of Brown Uni
yersity, but I shall certainly have to
retire before this magnificent. bub-
bling fountain of wisdom on my
right
He left the stage amid Kisses and
DooeS. There was no applause al
though only short time previous the
speaker had SWayed his auditors with
MS emotional appeal for the protec-
ton OF mans faith in God against the
teachers of the doctrine that human
lty had descended from the lower ami
mails.
Ashamed of Unbeliever.
Before the brush with Cassidy. Mr..
Bryan said to another : ,ldent. vii
nam G. Chase: Il am so ry for you
and ashamed of you.'
Chase. embarrassed, had answered
NO when Mr.. Bryan asked: Then.
you don't believe in the Bfble?"
MIR. Bryan declared that real science
cannot conflict with religious teach
lngs, but said that evolution is not
truth. Its eXponentS, he asserted. are
enemies of all religion, not only Chris
tlanlty. He said he had come to Proyi-
dence at his own expense to bring his
gospel of faith to the Brown students.
America has been generous to him. he
SAID, and his way of showing his graft
tude will be to fight with all his ability
against the teaching of evolution.
Detailing the list of degrees which
nave been awarded him at various
times, Mr.. Bryan said If these fell
lows don't quit calling me an igno-
ramus I'm going to have my card
printed, with all those letters after
my name, and then I'll ask any son of
an ape to match cards with me-"
The question asked by Mr.. Cassidy
was:
Isn't it possible that there may be
gained by evolutionary
thinking which presents a Worship
and reverence for future generations
as an ideal and looks toward the de-
velopment of heaven upon earth
the use of science; and is not
this ideal fine and worthy one, cap
able of producing a not less noble
standard of morality?''

Gen. Miles was born at Westmin-

an academic education there and in
Boston In later years he was award
ed the honorary degree of LII. D. by
Harvard, Brown and Colgate.
When the Civil War broke out
many civilians organized units with
their own funds, and later took com
mand of their townSmen in the Army.
When the RoXbury Guards We're re

that town promised a bounty of $40
for each man who enlisted. The money
was delayed, however, and when tbe
company was completed and the
funds still failed to materialize Miles
took the only thousand dollars he had
in the world and, by borrowing 81 SEQ
more. paid the men their bonus. he
was never reimbursed by the for.:etfuI
town council.
Miles passed through the bloody
battle of Antietam unscratched and
won further commenda alton. AT Chan

of Hancock and was marked for pro-
motion. Some years later he was
awarded the Congressional Medal of

BRYAN ISSUES DENIAL.
Says He Heard No Jeers Nor Kisses
at Brown.

BOSTON, May 10 CP.-DenfaI that
he had heard any booing or Kissing
when the question period following
his talk on science and religion was
terminated at Brown University in
Providence last night was made by
William Jennings Bryan when he ar
rived here today. He declared that
he had, for nearly an hour and a
half, been answering questions, and
that most of the audience had left,
owing to the late hour, when the in
cident occurred. He said that he had
answered several duestions put by his
interrogation and that only when his
questiOner showed a disposition to
present his own views and argue in
stead of asking questions did he of
fer to turn the meeting over to him.
THAT dispatch illustrates he said,
''the unreliablility of a newspaper
report that picks out something SEN
sational instead Of reporting the truth
spoke for two hours to crowded
house, and the audience was very re
ceptive. The applause was frequent
and at the close continued until 7
rose and bowed my acknowledge
ment. | then took up the questions
that had been sent up and spent an
hour and a half answering them"
Tells of Incident.
Referring to the question which the
student, George l.. Cassidy, had asked
Mr. Bryan said:
Finally one man arose. He was
not very young and l did not know
until after the meeting, however, that
he was a student. He asked me
several questions which / answered,
and then he began to argue his views.
The audience was restless at his in
terruption. and I finally suggested
that | would turn the audience over
to him and let him say what he
wanted to say-and the meeting ad-
journed.
There was no kissing and no
| booing, at least not that reached my
ears I answered that question" he
added very fully, by presenting the
| Christian ideal as one that had the
| Endorsement of 10 centuries, and was
higher than the evolutionary ideal or
than any individual ideal. l also took
pains TO point out what the effect of
the evolutionary ideal is. l devoted
quite a while to answering that young
mans questions and only turned the
| audience over to him after he pro
| ceeded to present his own views in
stead of asking questions.
Mr.. Bryan had three addresses
scheduled for today, at the Harvard
Union and at fremont Temple in the
afternoon and at Harvard University

Called Out i'm Strike.

In 1894, Miles was called to subdue
the historic Chicago railroad strike.
He handled the crisis with such tact
and executive ability that he won
further renown.
President Cleveland rewarded the
generals distinguished services by ap-
pointing him commanding general of
the United States Army. He was then
sc years old. During his tenure in
office he represented the Army as OBJ
server in the Turko-Grecian war and
at Queen Victoria's S diamond jubilee in
1897.
When the war with Spain broke out,
Miles found he had several influential
foes in the administration, and it is
said they prevented his taking active
command in the field in Cuba. How
ever, he was sent to close the cam
paign at Santiago, and then went to
Porto Rico.
AT the age of so he was raised to
the rank of lieutenant general. the
sixth Army officer to bear that rank
Political enemies were now rife in
the Army. Miles was in opposition to
the administration. He was declared
to have taken the stand that as COM
mander of the Army he was the su-
preme military power of the country,
and was therefore unwilling to take
orders from the administration For
getting, it was said, the powers of the
president as commander-in-ch hief, the
merry war horse was constantly quar-
reling with the President and Secre-
taries of War. He quarreled with
President Cleveland and his War Sec
retary, Lamont; with Mckinley and
Secretary Alger, and with Roosevelt
and Root.

Defended His Course.

Jefferson Davis was not held and
arrested for being President of the
Confederate States" Gen. Miles said
in defending himself, but was cap
tured for his part in the great plot
which aimed at the deaths of Lincoln,
Seward, Grant and many other Gov
ernment leaders. A reward of $780,
600 was posted by President Johnson
for Davis capture. and l was ordered
to use every precaution in impriSon-
ing him. He was later released under
a similar bond and died of old age %
years after
At the age of 26 Miles was mustered
out of the Volunteers, when the war
ceased, and was recommisSioned colo
mel in the Regular establishment
After commanding the Department of
Maryland and Virginia he was de-
tailed to command the Department of
North Carolina, and here showed his
great ability in the tasks of peace
time reconstruction, far more difficult
than those of war.
His Indian service began in 1870.
He then embarked on campaigns
which were to bring to a close the
Indian wars which had lasted through
all the history of the country. He
won the thanks of the legislatures of
four Western States, and the ranks,
in succession. of brigadier and ma jor
general in the regular Army.
