the Army In the United State*.
London, Oct. 2. —General Nelson A.
Miles, with Mrs. Miles, Major Compand
Captain Maus, sailed for the United
States on the American liner St. Louis,
'Which left Liverpool Saturday. The
commander of the army has been in
Europe since May ou his tour of mili
tary observation and has inspected
everything of military interest in the
armies of the great powers in the field
of action "down to balloons and bi
cycles,” as he remarked. He has looked
■ ■ over fortifications, barracks, camps, ord
fl nance works of all classes and in the
intervals of this work has written three
: reports to the government, covering
different features of European mili
tarism. After his return he will, with
the assistance of Captain Maus, prepare
another and more comprehensive report,
in whicn will be embodied recommeu.
dations for the improvement of the
"United States army.
Incidentally General Miles has met
most of the rulers of Europe, including
* Queen Victoria, the czar of Russia, the
emperor of Germany, the sultan of
Turkey and the president of France.
The president of the French republic,
however, he considers to be in every
-characteristic, the peer of the royalties
of Europe.
“President Faure is one of the most
dignified and accomplished
men I ever met in Europe,” he said,
I .and he added that the French Renublic
need have entertained no misgivings as
to how its chief magistrate would com
port himself during his recent visit of
state to the czar, a question which at
one time deeply agitated the press of
prance.
Talks of His Tour.
General Miles talked interestingly to
I a representative of the Associated Press
-1 •of his tour, and although he declined to
give any opinions upon certain ques
i J tions as to the relative strength of the
French and German armies, his com
ments upon the characteristics of these
two organizations as they impressed
him while on exhibition maneuvers at
Hamburg and Statin, were decidedly
i Significant.
“When I left Washington the war
between Turkey and Greece had as
sumed serious proportions, and it looked
as though neighboring powers would
be drawn into it. and especially one or
two of the great powers of Europe,”
General Miles began. “No one realized
at that time that Greece had assumed
hostilities when she was wholly uupre
for Avar; nor did any one anticipate
that Turkey would in 45 days mobilize
1 a great army of 600.000 men. When I
’■* arrived at Constantinople an armistice
had been declared and the war was
practically over, although the armies
have remained in hostile attitudes und
it has taken three mouths to agree upon
the conditions of peace for a war that
had been fought-in five weeks.
“But as my mission only partly con
cerned that war, and as the president
and secretary of war had authorized
f me to visit such countries as I might
think advisable for the purposes of mil
itary observation, I continued my jour
ney, looking over all the principal arm
ies of Europe, many of the most im
port ant establishments, the principal
gun factories and foundries, where the
material of war is constructed, from
the most minute small caliber projec
tiles to the heaviest armor plate.
Saw All Bat Spain.
I “I have seen all the great armies of
Europe except the Spanish army, and if
Spain ever declares war against the
United States I may possibly have an
opportunity of seeing that.- Os some
'thing over 8,000,000 men under arms, I
have seen nearly 400,000, and in barrack
and in garrison and in field maneuvers,
besides nearly 100,000 men engaged in
the construction of war material.
“What I have seen does not indicate
that the millenium is at hand, when
swords will be beaten into plough
shares. There never was a time in the
history of the world when so much en
ergy and wealth were being devoted to
war purposes. The resources and in
dustries of many peoples are largely de
voted to maintaining standing armies
and formidable navies. Fortunate are
the people of the United States that
they are walled by two oceans, or tnis
"fact would not warrant them in any
policy than keeping a fair percentage
of their population fully equipped and
armed with modern appliances of war
fare. ”
To a question as to whether the
United States, under its present mili
r • tary policy, would be able to cope with
' a European power, General Miles re
plied:

“In any population, it is estimated,
one man out of five is capable of bear

"We have many thousands of men
still living who have seen war and par
ticipated in more battles than any men
in Europe. But it is another thing to
equip an army with modern appliances
for the defence of a coast where we
would have to use high power guns
and modern projectiles, which it takes
years to construct, while small arms
are not to be made in a few days, and
the modern rifles are different from t e
squirrel guns with which our revolu
tionary lathers went to war. The
range of the modern arms is very great
and the projectiles weigh from 700
pounds to a ton of steel. The rapidity
of the rapid fire gnus, the Maxim and
Gatling, is 400 to 600 shots a minute.
Although these are American inven

BIG FIGHT” AGAINST BELL.
The Nor th Railway Commlinlon
Five* Rat** For Telephone*.
Raleigh, Oct. 3.—There was a third
and final hearing of the telephone rate
case. The railway commission has or
dered a state telephone rate of |24 for
private houses and $34 for the business
houses.
Senator John W. Daniel and General
Meaney of New Jersey were among
those who appeared for the Long Dis
tance Telephone company.
L. O. Oarr, president of the Inter
state Telephone company of Durham,
said his company was willing to buy
every Bell telephone plant in the state
at four times the price at which it is
now listed for taxation and rent tele
phones at the rate ordered by the -com
•nission. Oarr says his company is
earning 18 per cent on its investment.
There is a strong fight against the
Bell. ' _ _
AN EXPERT ON THE STAND
Dr. Merrillat Called Upon to Identify
Bone* Placed In .Evidence.
Chicago, Oct. 2.—The Luetgert trial
began at the usual hour. The first wit
ness called to the stand was Dr. V. A
Merrillat of the McKillop Veterinary
college, Chicago. Mr. Merrillat was
called upon to identify various bones
placed in evidence by the prosecution
and declared by the defense to be ths
bones of the lower order of animals.
Like his predecessors upon the stand
in the expert line, witness was in
clined to lecture and demonstrate his
remark to a degree that became some
what tiresome. But he spoke in a clear,
loud tone of voice, wnich was enter
taining to the experts in the room.
Dr. Merrillat was less confident in
his identifications than the other ex
perts who have been heard during thr
trial. Benefiting by their amusing, ano
at times humiliating blunders, the wit
nesses avoided the cleverly laid tech
nical points, which were arranged by
Professor Dorsey of the Field Columbian
museum, and led up to by the question
ing of Assistant State’s Attorney Mc-
Ewen. He refused to identify the go
rilla femur, which proved a stumbling
• block to Dr. Allport, who said it wait
the femur of a strong man, who in lira
was probably 5 feet 4 inches tall. In
reality the gorilla, whose bones now
rest in the Field Columbian museum,
was 6 feet 6 inches tall when he roamed
the jungles.
The witness also refused to commit
himself as to a temporal bone handed
him. He gave his reasons for these re
fusals. He said that he wanted some
thing more than an isolated bone in
order to positively state its probable
nature and connection. While the wit
ness felt sure in his own mind as to the
identity of these, yet he did not pro
pose, he said, in a case involving so
much and while he was under oath, to
positively state that these bones were
absolutely what he thought they were.

•THE ROME TBIBIiNE. SUNDAY OCTOBER 3. 1897,
QUEEN IN IWINHM
Spanish Ruler Asks For Advice
of Madrid Statesmen.
FEARS THE MONARCHY WILL FALL
Bhe I* Told That the Alternative Lie* Be
tween a Sincere Trial of a New Coban
Policy, Kmbritciaff an Understanding
With America, and a Conflict With the
United State*.
New York, Oct. 2.—A special to Ths
World from Madrid, Spain, byway oi
Bayonne, says: In all her consultations
with Spanish generals and leaders oi
political parties, the queen regent has
laid stress chiefly upon the question ol
Spain’s relations with the United States
and the best means of averting the loss
of Cuba through prolongation of the
war and consequent American inter
vention, thereby imperilling the stabil
ity of her sou’s throne.
The queen also insisted strongly upon
discussing whether her Spanish rule in
the West Indies would not be jeopar
dized by a too extended graut of au
tonomy, thus enabling the separatists
and autonomists to prepare gradually
and legally their evolution towards in
dependence.
She earnestly asked the statesmen if
they really believed a Liberal govern
ment would be strong enough to mako
the majority of the Spaniards accept
extended home rule, involving as a sac
rifice the Spanish maternal interests in
the colonial islands and a heavy burden
for the Spanish treasury, if saddled
with the Cuban debt.
The queen qua seined whether Sagasta
would be able to restrain public opinion
and the press of the opposition parties,
if she made concessions to the colonies
under the pressure of diplomacy.
The queen cannot believe success
would crown so complete a reversal of
the policy which had been followed for
the last two years and a ) alf.
It seems that some, if not all, her
loyal advisers had the courage to tell
the queen regent that the alternative
lies between a sincere trial of the new
policv embracing an understanding with
the United States and a conflict with
America, probably entailing the loss of
the colonies.
A special dispatch received here from
Madrid says that Captain General Wey
ler has been recalled from Cuba. His
Buccessor, it is added, has not yet been
officially announced.
CRISIS DISCUSSED IN CUBA.
Havana Papers Point Out What They Cop
slder the Que*t*lon of the Hour.
Havana, Oct. 2.—El Pais, the organ
of the autonomist party, which com
ments editorially on the Spanish cabi
net crisis, says:
“There are powerful reasons why we
advise the continuance of the Conserva
tives in the control of the government
bo as to avoid the prejudice and danger
which might be occasions 1 by a violent
transition in the abnormal circum
stances of the present political and mil
itary problem in Cuba. The negotia
tions with the United States have ar
rived at a stage which does not admit
of a violent interruption or a radical
reversal.”
La Lucha says:
“The Liberals during the last politi
cal campaign went further than pru
dence advised and compromised more
than they thought. Their demands for
the recall of Captain General Weyler
places Senor Sagasta in a difficult situ
ation, when the captain general has
asked for two years’ time to put down
the revolution. Now, after what has
happened, will they ask for his recall?
The general-in-chief cannot resign in
war time. Moreover, Captain General
Weyler will be able to prove that in the
provinces of Havana, Matanzas and
Pinar del Rio the rebellion is under
control. So that it would be because of
political circumstances, for which he is
entirely irresponsible, that he might
feel obliged to ask his recall, not con
sidering himself backed up at home
with the moral force necessary to con
tinue the command of the army in Cuba.
.“The advantage or disadvantage of
such a course will lie exclusively at the
door of the Liberal party. This is the
question of the hour and perhaps for
the first time. Senor Sagasta has made
a mistake and given a chance to his ad
versary to route him by making it im
possible for him to form a durable cabi
net.”
Washington Lawyer. Disbarred.
Washington, Oct. 2.—John Wedder
burn & Co. of this city have been dis
barred from practice before the interior
department as patent attorneys or
agents. The action of Commissioner
Butterworth is based on section 487 of
the revised statutes. The firm is held
to have been guilty of “gross fraud and
unprofessional conduct.” The post
master general has been notified of the
finding, which was made after a long
investigation, following complaints of
other attorneys, who filed charges
against the firm.

Palo Alto, Cal., Oct. 2.—The mem
bers of the Stanford party engaged in

They claim that the experiment of

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.
A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder troubles as the men. The womb
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason any dis
tress. disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake, at
tributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. If you have
pain or dull aching in the back, pass
water too frequently, or scanty supply,
with smarting or burning,—these are
also convincing proofs of kidney trouble.
If you have doctored without benefit,
try Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the
great kidney remedy. The mild and the
extraordinary effect will surprise you.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures. If you take a medicine yon
should take the best. At druggists fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamplet, both sent
free by mail. Mention Rome Tribune
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer. J
