MUCH TALK
But LlttleiElse Concerning the Miles
Alger Controversy.
Washington Sept. 9. The return
of Gen. Miles has created a flutter of
excitement in official circles. Every-
body is talking about what is likely to
happen in view of the published state
ments eiven out at New York by the
commanding general of the army in
which he took the war department
severely to task.
Sentiment is greatly divided here as
to whether Alger will be wise in in-
sisting upon a rigid investigation of
the many charges that have been made
against his department on account of
the conduct of the war. Some think
that on the eve of election it might
damage the republican party to stir
up strife but others are positive that
il is the duty of the administration to
take the bull by the horns and clear
up the situation at once.
Officials of the department who are
closest to Alger are discretely holding
their tongues. At least they are not
talking for publication. Privately
however they are much incensed
against Gen. Miles and from gossip
heard in the various divisions it is
evident that all parties to the contro-
versy have very earnest championr.
Sensationalists are busy spreading
the report that Miles has political as
pirations and they even go so far as to
declare that he wants to be president.
These rumors are laughed at by other
army officers and denounced as silly in
the extreme.
IN NEW YORK STATE
Teddy Roosevelt Not Altogether
Certain To Get the Nomination
For Governor.
New York Sept. 9. It is said today
that Seth Low's Citizens' Union will
nominate Roosevelt for governor as a
republican organization. This leads
to complications. Roosevelt cannot of-
fend his independent friends
but the straight u republicans are
bitter. They may throw Teddy
over if he coquettes there. The
Black men are still confident that
Douterbach has gone to them. He is
powerful with the personal liberty peo-
ple. It is said this morning that the
outcome may be to let Black have a
renomination sending Roosevelt as
senator to succeed Murphy.
New York Sept. 9. Governor
Frank Black has been advised by eev-
eral republicans to give up his fight
for renomination. They said the drift
to Roosevelt was too strong to with
stand. Governor Black however; de
clared he waa in the race and would
stay.
IMPRESSIVE
Scene When Wheeler's Body Was
Taken to The Train.
Montauk. Sept. 8. The bodies of
Thomas E. Wheeler son of General
Jos. Wheeler and Lieut. Norton B.
Kirkpatrick who were drowned here
while bathing Wednesday were taken
to Long Island City this mornlntr.
Gen. Wheeler has two daughters and
one remaining son accompanied the
remains which will be taken south for
burial.
The scene at Gen. Wheeler's head-
quarters this morning when the bodies
were removed to the railroad station
was impressive. The two bodies were
placed on benches before the tent the
ooftins draped in American flags. Op-
posite was drawn up troop A of the
First cavalry in single front. Gen.
Wheeler in full uniform and sword
stood beside the bier. A simple ser-
vice followed. The procession to the
train was a marked evidence of the
sympathy and respect of the soldiers.
ILLNESS AT PONCE
Increasing Among United States
Troops.
New York Sept. 9. A special from
the Herald correspondent at Ponce
Porto Rico says that illness among the
United States .troops is increasing-.

form the government of his intention.
NOT SATISFACTORY
Situation Serious In Crete.
Canea Crete Sept. '.. The for-
cing admirals' reply to th3 protest of
the Cretan executive committee against

factory. They will recommend to their

kish troops be removed and that the
powers appoint a governor.

NOT WANTED
Peace Commission Job Goes Beg-
ging. Washington Sept. 9. President
McKinley is having difficulty in ob-
taining a democrat to serve as a mem-
ber of the peace commission. Senator
Gray has decided not to serve and it is
learned that the president is undecided
as to who would get the next offer of
appointment. This delay has caused a
postponement of the meeting of the
commissioners next week.
There is no loneer any doubt that
during the conference in Paris the
American commissioners will propose
the appointment of a commissioner to
pasejupon claims filed by American citi-
zens against Spain for injuries against
person or property sustained during the
Cuban rebellion. These claims aggreg-
ate about twenty million dollars.
Washington Sept. 9. The ilfth
and last man for the Paris peace com
mission on the part of the United
States has been selected and will be
announced later in the day. Assistant
Secretary Moore of the etate depart
ment was in conference with President
McKinley this morning and he said on
coming out of the White Houee that
the choice had been made and that the
man was a democrat.
Upon his arrival at the state depart-
ment Assistant Secretary Moore stated
that the fifth peace commissioner was
Senator Gray of Delaware. The sena
tor it is understood has reconsidered
his determination to decline at the
earnest solicitation of the president.

WILL INVESTIGATE
Alger Has Asked For An Inquiry.
Washington Sept. 9. The pres
sure of public opinion has it seems
been a little too much for Secretary
Alger to withstand for he has asked
the president to order an investigation
into the affairs ef the war department.
In this matter Gen. Corbin adjutant
general of the army joins the sec-
retary. The president has taken the matter
under advisement and it may be that
he will comply with the request. Of
course nothing is decided as to the
scope of the investigation if it should
be ordered.

ing McKinley and Alger in their con-
duct of the Spanish war was adopted
unanimously:
"Resolved that from knowledge
borne of our experience as soldiers
during four years of active service we
recognize the unfailing energy and pa
triotic devotion with which the sec
retary of war General Alger.
has borne the great re-
sponsibilities and performed tbe
important duties suddenly imposed
by the recent war with Spain creating
and maintaining so large an army un-
der such unfavorable conditions the
deeds of which not only 6hed lustre on
merican soldiers but challenge the
admiration of the civilized world.
''Resolved that as the G. A. R. has
watched with pride and satisfaction
tbe wise conservative unselfish pa
triotic and statesmanlike manner in
which our honored comrade Wm. Kc
Kinley as president of the United
States has met every demand which the
recent trouble with Spain imposed
upon our country that bis
wisdom and prudence in his endeavors
to preserve peace with honor as well
as the vigor and patriotic ardor with
which our army and navy were equip-
ped for the conflict when war became
imminent have won our heart and un-
reserved approval."

ments. Madrid Sept. 9. Premier Sagasta

Base Ball.
The games between the Albuquerque
and El Paso ball teams are off. Tbe
local team was to leave here this morn-
ing but did not go. The following
taken from the Albuquerque Democrat
seems to lay tbe blame on the El Paso
team:
"The base ball games between the
El Pasos and Albuquerque Browns
which were to have been played here
on Saturday and Sunday are off. The
manager of the Pass City team tele-
graphed yesterday afternoon that the
games would have to be played tomor-
row and next day or not at all and as
most of the Browns are now in Santa
Fe and will not return until tomorrow
evening ahe original dates for the
games would not be changed. Al-
buquerque will have a first class local
game between picked nines on Sunday
afternoon however - which will allow
every one to see tbe new players and
judge of their work. A full list of
players and positions will be published
later.
The game between the Albuquerque
and Santa Fe teams Thursday resulted
in a victory for the former by a score
of 19 to 15. Bailey formerly with the
Texas league played with tbe Albu-
querque team and is credited with one
home run and three triplets.
The professional ball team beaded
by Tebeau will not visit El Paso as
bad been intended. They have been
engaged to represent Santa Fe at the
Albuquerque fair.
Lost His Children.
Wm. E. Armstead a colored man.
stated to a Herald reporter last night
that he was having all sorts of trouble
with his wife. He says he is a mining
man by choice but at present a saloon
porter by compulsion. He married a
Mexican girl in Durango Mexico 12
years ago and since that time four chil-
dren have been born to them. Three
weeks ago something turned up which
seemed to have established itself as an
immovable bone of contention and con-
tinual arguments have been going on
between them ever since. Yesterday
morning at about 5 o'clock according
to bis own story be arose and after
saying good bye to his wife to
which farewell he says he re-
ceived no reply he came up
town to do his morning work and re-
turned home about 9 o'clock only to
find that his children had been taken
away from their happy abode. He im-
mediately instituted 'a hard boiled
search and finally found bis offspring
in a bouse on Leon street. He request-
ed them to return home with him but
they refused. He then plead with
them to return with him but all to no
avail. He left them and in explaining
matters last evening Mr. Armstead
said that he was satisfied that time
would make everything right when
the cruel fangs of discontent would be
no longer felt and the white-winged
angel of peace would again abide in his
cozy home.
Bids For Sewer Pipe.
This morning at ten o'clock the spe-
cial committee for the extension of the
city sewer system in El Paso that was
appointed at thecouncil meeting last
night met in tbe office of City Engineer
Wimberly.
There was nothing much for them
to do this morning except to appoint
the time for opening bids for pipe.
The bids will be received from both
foreign and local 'bidders and where the
local bidders can give equal figures to
those outside of the city then the
local men will be given the pre-
ference. Some 13900 feet of sewer pipe will
be needed and there are a good many
bids already on hand for the supplying
of this pipe.
Those on the special committee are
the-city engineer the mayor and the
members of tbe finance committee of
the city council.
After talking about a few minor de-
tails the committee then adjourned to
meet again Saturday night at 8 o'clock
at which time the bids will be opened
and the award made.
Will Entertain the Ladies-
Last evening at the regular weekly
meeting of the American Bowling
club of this city a resolution was pass-
ed and voiced by all present to set
aside a special night in this month for
the entertainment of their many lady
friends. After a little discussion as to
the night it was finally decided to have
them present on next Tuesday night
the 13th inst.
The president appointed the com-
mittee to make the arrangements for
the entertainment of their lady friends
on tbe evening named and as the El
Paso Bowlers are such well known en-
tertainers it is safe to say in advance
that those who have the honor of be-
ing invited will have a most enjoyable
evening.
The evening will be spent in bowl-
ing contests by both tbe members and
the ladies wishing to do so. Light re-
freshments will be served.
A Handsome Present.
The customs officers of Juarez bead-
ed by Collector Bauche and one or two
others will on the ltlth inst. present to
Governor Abumada of Chihuahua one
of the finest rubber tired traps that
the Columbus Buggy Co. of Columbus
Ohio ever built.
The trap was built to order. All the
trimmings are of silver: on the sides of
the seat are solid Bilver monograms.
The entire rig" said Mr. Noake as
he ordered it "is the handsomest that
was ever brought to this section."
The harness is also very heavy and
handsomely decorated with silver trim-
mings. The whole outfit cost something like
$450 in gold and will be a present
which tbe governor will appreciate
as there are none in the republic finer.
