Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, March 23.—Instead | | of waiting for some time to avoid the ap- | pearnce of making a martyr of General Nelson A. Miles it is sald by friends in close touch with the administration the President will retire the leutenant gen- eral from his position at the head of the army within two weeks. It is further said that this action w.1l be the result, not of any offense committed, not on account of his criticism of the War Department before the Senate committee, but on ac- count of a combination of many acts on the part of General Miles which have led to general demoralization in army circles, {Fesulting in lack of harmony. The President, it is sald, is anxious, above all things, to eifect a union of in- terests between the Secretary of War and the lieutenant general of the army. He does not think that this can ever be done with General Miles in this{mportant po- sition, and he feels that t ce should be filled by an army office® of ability, tact and long experience who wiil work in_ harmony with the administration. Who_this man will be no one is vet able to tell, but that there.will be a change in the oftice in a very short time now seems almost certain. An informal conference was held at the ‘White House to-night between the Presi- dent, Secretary Root, Postmaster General Payne and General Leonard Wood. Cuban affairs were very largely discussed, and the meeting was only a continuation of previous conferences on this question. The establishment of an independent gov- ernment and the plans to be adopted therefor were again talked over, but no decision was reached. Postmaster General Payne was present at the conference in order that he might become Informed of all detalls of the situ- ation in Cuba. It was his first meeting with General Wood, who gave Mr. Payne important information in regard to af- fairs on the island, both social and po- | litical. At this conference General Wood reit- erated again and again, just as he has done in the past, thé necessity of grant- ing larger tariff concessions to Cuba than are contained in the bill now pending in the Ways and Means Committee.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call WASHINGTON, March 2.—If the House doesn’t pass the ship subsidy bill the rivers and harbors bill, carrying ap- propriations aggregating more than $60,- 000,000, will be defeated in the Senatc. This is the ultimatum of the promoters of the ship subsidy bill. | Senator Frye is chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, of which Sen- ator Hanna is ‘'a member. Their com- bined influence, assisted by the efforts of other Senators who are in sympathy with the ship subsidy bill, would be sufficient to insure the death of the rivers and harbors bill. Hanna is be- lieved to have been responsible for the | defeat of the rivers and harbors bill in the closing hours of the last session of the Fifty-sixth Congress. It has always been accepted as a fact that he was the instigator of the filibuster conducted by Senator Carter of Montana. 5 Frye declined to have anything to do with that bill. He would not preside over the sessions of the Committee on Com- merce while it was being considered and refused to take charge of it on the floor of the Senate. An organized fight_on ghe rivers and harbors bill in the Senate would cause consternation in both sides of the House, for the pork barrel has been at low tide for many years. Republicans and Demo- crats have struggled manfully and with- out partisan stress to create a ‘‘whopper” of a bill that would satisfy everybody who has anything approaching a navi- gable stream in his district. They have felt sure the bill would pass the Senate this year, practically without friction and that the rewards 5o long delayed would be finally distributed. The measure is now before 'the House and will undoubtedly pass that body. It will not be defeated in the Senate without a viglorous, long-drawn-out fight, for there are Senators who are as much in- terested in its provisions as are the Rep- resentatives. It was currently reported in Washington last winter and believed by many persons that the Southern Sen- ators relinquished their opposition to the so-called Platt amendments and permitted their adoption in order to get the rivers and harbors bill before the Senate. These were angry because the bill was finally defeated.” General Hennequin Commits Suicide. BRUSSELS, March 23.—General Henne- quin, the director of the Military Cartn- graphical Society. has committed sulcide by shooting himself with a rifle. ALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, March 23. It developed to-day that railroad interests are seeking to have passed a bill which will not only permit pooling, under restrictions by the Interstate Commerce Commission, but which would permit a union of interests 80 satisfactory to the operators of great raflroads as to render unnecessary such a merger as that brought. about by the Northern Securities Company. It Is stated that if this bill be passed it will make no difference whatever to the Great North- ern and the Northern Pacific interests, whether Attorney General Knox's injunc- tion proceedings begun in Minnesota are decided adversely to the railroads or not. The big railroad men of the country have been trying to have the President use his efforts to have the bill passed by Congress. To obtaln his interposition many visits were paid to the White House. His visitors pointed out to the President that the present interstate com- merce law had been really outgrown by the country during the business and in- dustrial evolution of the last four years. They held that the enforcement of the law against the railroads would in no sense benefit the shipper nor the country at large, but would cause business and financial uncertainty, and might precipi- tate a panie. President’s Characteristic Rebuke. It is related that during one of these interviews the president of a Western and Southern railroad, the stock of which a few years ago was selling at 25 and Is now at par and a half, was very insistent in describing the iniquitous features of the interstate law. The President told him that he would be very glad to meet the raflroad men of the country, with rep- resentatives of the shippers, and perfect a law upon which all could agree and which would safeguard every interest and do injustice to none. He would use his influence to pass such a law. The rallroad men rejected the proposi- tion, declaring that the railroad men wanted no law at all, or a law that should be a dead letter, clalming that thc railroads under their present conservative management could be absolutely trusted to oppress no one. The President’s reply was characteris- tic. He is reported to have’told the rail- road president that smeh men as he were almost entirely responsible for the spread of the socialistic sentiment in this coun- 'hat ended .the interview, but there h#ve been others. These were first held for the purpose of asking the President to keep his hands off the merger effected by the Northern Securities Company. When these efforts failed financial inter- ests from one end of the country to the other started a campaign for the purpose of showing to the President that his pol- icy, if persisted in, would cut him off ab- solutely from the support of all the vest- ed business interests. Threats From Wall Street. It has been published that J. Plerpont Morgan has declared himself hostile to the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for the Presidency. Railroad men, stock brokers, heavy Investors in railroad securities al- most without exception took the attitude that if Mr. Roosevelt did not change his policy he would find himself absolutely without business support and without any campalgn fund in 1904 should he be nom- inated. Undoubtedly some influential men have fully decided to oppose Mr. Roose- velt for nomination and (E)r election. These threats reach the President in some form almost every hour of the day. Manifestly the immediate object in view is to influence the Interstate Commerce Commission in its injunction proceedings against the railroads.

Five cases of cholera have been reported from the provinces. BUSINESS QUARREL ENDS IN SHOOTING One of the Combatants Is Instantly Killed and the Other Badly Wounded. HENDERSON, Ky., March 3.—A fatal shooting occurred at Corydock, this coun- ty, to-day, in which G. W. Pritchett was killed and John Below, a farmer, fatally wounded. Bad blood existed between the two men over business, and when they met on the streets to-day Pritchett shot Below and Below shot Pritchett.
