SEES SIGNS OF DECADENCE IN ARMY Insists that OfMicers Should Make Study of War Maneuvers in Which They May Be Require: WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Brigadier Gen- eral Tasker Bliss in his ‘annual report of the army war college, says detalled study of the military problems concerning the United States should be the most im- portant work of the college under the di- rection of chlef of staff. General Bliss recommends the elimination from the col- Tege of the collection of military inspec- tigh. He would eliminate any speclal study of material of war, which, while important enough, he does not consider within the proper scope of the college. General Bliss recommends that a number of officers be selected at stated Intervals for the study and working out of a great war game. The officers chosen, he says, should be selected from those who would | play an important part in the plans adopted | in case of war.

A good many of the things outlined in| the post school course, the West Pointer is not likely to know 8o well as the man promoted from the ranks. There ls, at least in.years past there has been, an unfortunate tendency on the part of offi- cors, whether from West Point or else- where, gradually to lose the habit of study of matters connected with the simple routine of their work and, while not only talling to acquire knowledge to keep them abreast of thelr profession, actually lose much of what they have already learned. In short, that it was a process of steady decadence. General Bliss adds that the great secret of German successes in mill- tary training s that “there is never any letup.” Engines of the Maine Defective, The battleship Maine has suffered an- other injury. The inabllity of the ship to make more than twelve knots on its recent crulse to Colon was due to an ac- cident to its engines which occurred be- fore its departure. Four of the large en- &ine “Ys," or supports, are broken and it will be necessary to repalr ‘them before it will be safe for the Maine to increase its speed beyond twelve knots, although the vessel's maximum speed is eighteen knots. The Navy department officlald as- sert that the vessel is in mo danger if it does not exceed twelve knots, but it fs admitted that only an emergency would have caused its dispatch on such a cruise in its present condition. President Returns te Capital, President and Mrs. Roosevelt, who went to New York last night to attend the funeral of the president's uncle, James K Gracle, returned to Washington tonight The train was forty-five minutes late in reaching Washington.

Introduced a bill today to provide for a national park commission. ‘The bill abolishes the present military park commission on July 1, 1906. A salary of 000 for each commissioner is provided The bill provides that fermented beverages d light wines, but no ardent spirits may be sold in post exchanges and on trans- ports on regulations to be preseribed by the commission.

MAGAZINE ARTICLE SUITED ITS. HERO When Trouble Was Ready, However, to Have Author Court- Martinled on Churges Grow- ing Out of Matter. Came WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The senate committee on military aftairs today heard Major James E. Runcle of Havana, prob- ably the most important witness that will be offered by opponents of General Wood in their attempt to prevent his confirmation to be major general. Major Runcle was on the stand several times today, telling the committee of a dinner at Santlago, Cuba, attended by himself, General Wood and Ray Stannard Baker, a newspaper man, at which, it was alleged, was planned the magazine article attacking Major General Brooke that has flgured conspicuously in the Wood case. Major Runcie was stopped more than once in the course of his testimony and told to | give nothing but facts of which he had per | sonal knowledge. This did not exclude his | story of the dinner, which resuited in sub- poenas for three other witnesses, among whom is General Brooke. In his testimony Major Runcle explained that he had acted as the confidentlal ad | viser of General Waod for nearly two years | ana that they lved together at Santiago. It | was while they were living in the same | house that Mr. Baker went to Santla | search of material for a magazine article | A meeting was arranged between the men and a dinner followed, testified Major Run- cle, at which they discussed the plan to have published an article which would ex- ploit the success of General Wood In deal- ing with affairs at Santlago and draw a comparison with the situation at Havana unfavorabale to the administration of Gen- eral Brooke. Runcie Wrote for Wood. Major Runcle declared that General Wood asked him to write the article and that he had done so. The article was given to Baker and published in February, 190, over the name of Major Runcie. He asserted that General Wood knew what the article contained and that they had correspond- ence about it as the result of the furore created by its publication. He offered to produce eopies of letters which he had written to General Wood concerning his own defense. It was not until after Gen- eral Wood succeeded General Brooke that the article was published. The effect was a severance of the relations between th wit- ness and General Wood. | Major Runcle then began the practice of | law at Havana and, according to his testi- mony, has been there ever eince. The wit- ness sald that when the secretary of war went to Cuba, following the disclosures to | the department, the suggestion was made by either the secretary or General Woed | that he be court-martialed for writing the rticle and that he had in effect invited the court-martial. = The commissioner notified Major Runcie e would be calied agaln. He left to- | employe of a New York jewelry house, |ing testimony given by M | cerning = night for Cleveland, O., and is expected to return within three days and hold himselt subject to the call of the commission. His connectlons in Havana may make it necessary for him to appear beforc the commission to testify in other matters than the magazine article. It is sald he has knowledge of General Wood's order for the arrest of Rathbone and, as the agent in Havana for a Maryland bonding company, can give information in regard to Major Rathbone's charge that General Wood used his influence with the courts in having Rathbone's bond fixed at a figure he do- clares to have been unreasorable. Other witnesses called by the committee to testify today were: Major J. E. Ladd, U. 8. A., who audited General Wood's Ban- tiago accounts; Wallis Clearman, a former who nfade the sale to the Jal Alai company of the silver set which was given to Gen- eral Wood, and an employe of the bureau of insular affairs, who explained the char- acter of the game and the manner in which speculation is indulged in by the spectators. Baskets, raquets and other paraphernalia were used in {llustrating the manner of play. A subpoena was issued today for Major General Brooke, former governor general of Cuba. The summons was issued fol o or Runcle con the magazine article which ap- peared over his s gnature. From the char- acter of witnesses called it appears that the committee’s invest fon Is to be com- plete in every particular and that none the charges is to overlooked as worthy of consideration. ADJOURN Senate be u NTIL House TUESDAY Complete ness of the Week and Vacation, SHINGTON, and Busi- ake 21.—~The house met and adjourned until Tuesday. The session was marked by a debate on the motion to adjourn over during which the minority took the republicans to task for not proceeding to the transaction of busl- | ness, Mr. Willlams, the minority protested against the house, leaders were afrald to trust themselves, and yet there were matters which the ways and means committee could consider, citing among other things the resolution relative to Canadian reciprocity. Mr. De- Armond also criticized the republican ma- jority for its course. Mr. Payne (N. Y.), on whose request time was given to debate the closing resolution, sald he would hardly care to take up the question of tariff for revenue. He also said the time was not opportune to conslder reciprocity with Canada. There was a party alignment on the vote and the house adjourned until Tuesday. After a sesslon of twenty-five minutes' duration the senate adjourned today until next Tuesday. The business of the session was confined almost exclusively to the in- troduction of rellef bills. w. today Nov leader, saying the TURKEY ROASTER FREE with each pound can of SOVERIGN BAKING POWDER.

THE UNION PACIFIC TEA CO., lLLNtSS CAUSES THE DELAY Russo-Japanese Treaty Awaits Develop- ment of Ozarina's Malady, RESENTMENT TOWARD UNITED STATES Attitude This Country Makes Russia Nervous and No Good Reason Is Seen for Its Position, PARIS, Nov. 27.—Official advices received here say the Russo-Japanese situation is better than it is generally understood to be. The delay in forwarding the pacific negotiations is sald to be due to-Japan's request that Viceroy Alexleft send to the czar a report covering certain essential conditions. This report has been transmitted, but owing to the czarina's fliness the court is absent from St. Petersburg, and it {s dim- cult to secure final action. The French of- ficlals belleve the gltuation will be ma- terially improved as soon as the czar goes over Admiral Alexiefi’s report Much Business Delayed. RSBURG, Nov. Z.—Any tem- orary suspension of the negotlations at Tokio, it is explained here, Is due to the situation at Skierniewice, where Admiral Alexleff's propositions have been forwarded for the consideration of the czar. Reports on many important matters have been there for ten days, awaiting the czar's de- cision M. Kurino, the Japanese minister at St Petersburg, denles the statement made by the London Times, November %, in a @is- patch from Tokio, to the effect that Japan submitted prop in October, and that Russia has been silent on the subject The prolongation of the Russo-Japanese negotiations at Toklo, which have been delayed by Viceroy Alexteft's return to St Petersburg, is due to the inabllity to reach an understanding regarding Corea, Agreed as to Manchuria, Tentative terms on the subject of Man- churla have been settled. Japan recognizes Russia’s dominant interests and agrees not to place obstacles In the way of the solu- tion of the problem. While still maintain- ing the ultimate recognition of its treaty rights, open ports and the integrity of Chi- nese sovereignty, Japan is content to leave these questions In abeyance, so as not to embarrass Russia. In return Japan insists on the recognition of its influence in Corea and the opening of Yongampho or other ports to forelgn trade. Russia is willing to concede something, but opposes the open- ing of Yongampho, on sccount of its prox- fmity to the mouth of the Yalu river, on the ground that it will threaten its inter- ests and complicate difficulties in Man- churia. Russia is doing everything possible to bring the negotiations to a close. Vigeroy Alexieft bas the czar's orders to this effect. Russia belleves It wise to press matters while Japan is in & pacific mood, which is attributed to forelgn counsel. The chief fear expressed here is that the moral effect of the United Stdles’ pressure on the open- door policy will lead Japan to rashness, The attitude of the United Etates causes much BErvousness and some Feseatment. The Russian view is that no good reason | exists why the United States should be- come involved in a quarrel at the instig tion of Russia’s enemies when American interests are not yet invaded. It is pointed out that last winter and spring the United States was aroused by the persistent decla- | ration in the British and Japanese press that Russia never would permit China to sign a commercial treaty, yet It was| signed on the date fixed. The sudden flash of anger in China over the Russian reoccupation of Mukden, be- cause it is the old burial place of the an- cestors of the present dynasty, is not con- sidered grave, as China's impotency is | recognized. Nevertheless all steps will be taken to avold a rupture, as China's friend- ship Is needed for the future.. Despite the conviction here that the crisls has passed for the winter, Russia is taking nothing | for granted. Three-quarters of its fleet is massed in or moving to the Pacific. Prac-| tically nothing is left on the KEuropean | side. | Travelers who have just returned from Port Arthur report that the trains going | eastward are still_filled with troops and | | ammunition. It fs estimated thats Russia | | now has more than 150,000 troops east of | Balkal equipped for eventualities. A tele- | | gram from Port Arthur says Yuan Shi Kal, the governor of Chi Li province, s | expected in the piovince of Mukden the end lof November {o negotiate with the! | Russians | TOKIO, Nov. 27.—There has been no al- teration in the situation between Japan and Russia. Leading organs urge the govern ment to press Russia for an answer re garding the situation In Corea. In circles | [ supposed to be well Informed it is belleved | that the Russian answer will reach u‘.| before December 6, the date of the assem- bling of the diet. | Toklo Sees No Change. | | No other piils on earth can equal Dr. | King's New Life Pllls, for stomach, liver | | and kidneys No cure, no pay. %c.
