MILES IS RETIRED Lieutenant General of the Army Lays Down Ofiicial Responsibility. The Old Commander Is Succeeded By General S. M. B. Young As Chief of Staff. Retiring General Issues a Thoughtful Address to the Army In General. Washington. Aug. 8. —Lieutenant General Nelson A. Mlles, commanding the army, retired from active service . at noon to-day, having reached the; age limit of sixty-four years. Lieu- j tenant General S. M. B. Young has 1 been assigned to the command of the army until Aug. 15. when he will assume the duties of chief of staff. General Miles has Issued the following address on the occasion of his retirement from active service: GENERAL ORDERS NO. 116. Headquarters of the Army. Washington. Aug 5. 1903. —In accordance with the provisions of the Act of Congress of June 30, 1882. the undersigned will retire from the active service Aug. 8. 1903. In relinquishing the command of the army of the United States, to which he was assigned by the president Oct. 2. 1895. he hereby acknowledges his appreciation of the fidelity manifested by the officers and soldiers during the past eventful years. To those who were his companions and associates during one of the greatest of all wars, he takes pleasure in expressing his gratification that they have lived through the trials and dangers of long service to witness the ~ Sr- [ * ’ lO' ” I UEVTENANT GENERAL NELSON A. M’LZA results of their fortitude, heroism and ! unselfish devotion to the welfare of j their country. They have also in a most commendable manner exemplified to the younger generation of soldiers those principles of discipline and patriotism which make the army the protector and defender and never the menace of the nation and Its liberties. The time and occasion are consid-' ered oportune for expressing to the army a few thoughts concerning its past and that which may affect its future welfare. It is from the best! impressions and Influences of the past that the most desirable results may be realized In the future. i Unswerving devotion to our govern I ment and the principles upon which It was established and has been main talned. Is essential to the efficiency of the national forces and especially Is j this so In a democratic government. I where the individual, tn order to be a perfect soldier, must first be a true citizen. The boast that every soldier ot a great nation carried a marshal s baton in bls napsack is in a higher 1 sense more than equaled In slgnifl I cance by the faet that every Ameri’Can soldier personifies sovereign citizenship and may by his own conduct exemplify Impartial justice to those | who hake never expeiieuced it, auu the results of the highest lllierty to those who have been strangers to It. thereby aiding to secure for his country a moral influence not otherwise i attainable. i During the darkest hour of our history the first commander of the American forces demonstrated the grandeur and nobility of his character by com batting the evil Influences then pervading the army and by manifesting the strongest confidence and faith In the ultimate justice and integrity of hl« government. Hix words of wisdom. uttered at Newburg one hundred and twenty years ago. had the effect of Inspiring "unexampled patriotism and patient virtue, rising superior to the pressure of the moat complicated Bufferings." tt Is one of the glories of our country that the army has maintained those principles for more than a century The commanders of the army suc--1 feeding Washington have by their example. influence and orders engendered and maintained the highest degree of efficiency, discipline and patriotism. Since Its organization the army has been charged with a great variety of responsibilities, all subordinate to de fending the country and maintaining the rights of Its citizens In the discharge of its manifold duties the army has confronted enemies representing every stage of humin development In the highest clvtliia I tions yet obtained to savagery at if , barbarism. It has ever been Its duty to ob serve in war those chlvalrlc and bu

tnane principles by which Inevitable horrors are so greatly mitigated, while ; by unyielding prosecution of warfare against armed forces its valor has been demostrated. All honorable activity and life for ■ the army must exist within the well- j defined lines of patriotism, untar ! nished honor, sterling integrity, Im-1 partial justice, obedience to rightful i authority and incessant warfare i against armed enemies. Always to maintain truth, honor and Justice requires the highest moral courage and Is equally as Imuortant as fortitude in battle. Drill, discipline and instruc I tlon are but preparatory for the perfection and efficiency of an army. The events of recent years have | ' placed upon the army a new obliga tfon and an opportunity for a broader exemplification of its country’s principles. The United States army is now brought into dally communication with millions of people to whom Its individual members of every grade! are the exponents of American civil! zation. A serious duty and a great honor are now presented to every I officer and soldier, namely, to exempli fy to those with whom he comes in contact our country’s principles of equal and exact justice. Immunity from violence, equality before the law and the peaceful use and possession of his own. Marked changes at different times have occurred in the strength and organization of the army, resulting from diverse influences and various expert ( ments have been tried. Time has rectified errors in the past and will do so in the future. The lieutenant general has faith that under all cir | cumstances the army will maintain its high character and that its future will be as honorable and glorious as has been its history in the past. His earn , est solicitude and best wishes will ever follow the fortunes of the army. NEI SON A. MILES. Lieutenant General Commanding. ST. PETER'S CLOSED.

ENGINEER BLAMED Grand Trunk Officials Say That Probst Could Hava Stopped Train. Failure to Do So Caused the Death of Twenty-Three Circus Employes. Terrible Disaster Befell the Wallace Show In a Michigan Town. Durand, Mich., Aug. 8. —The death list as a result of a collision in the Grand Trunk yards between the two sections of Wallace Brothers circus train, stands at twenty-three, seven of whom are in the morgue unidentified, while more than a score are seriously injured. In discussing the question of responsibility for the horror the railroad officials unhesitatingly lay it to Engineer Probst, of the second section of the train, whose home is In Battle Creek. Probst says that the airbrake I on his train refused to work, but the officials declare that he could have stopped the train in time to avoid serious consequences. The official report on the accident issued by Superintendent Brownlee declares positively that the air brakes have been tested since the accident and found to be in perfect condition and there is evidence that they were not applied. One of the officials, in discussing the accident, said he believed that Engineer Probst had exhausted his air in checking his train several times between Lansing and , Durand and failed to again charge his I tank. The head brakeman and the firemen, who were on the engine, bear out Engineer Probst's statement that the brakes refused to work. The bodies of the dead have been placed in coffins and will be shipped to their homes as rapidly as possible. Following is the list of the dead: James McCarthy, trainmaster Grand Trunk road; A. W. Large, special officer. Grand Trunk; John Parcell. Peru, Ind., boss canvasman; Lase 1-arson, Cambridge. Ohio, six-horse-team driver; G. Thomas, member of stake and chain gang: Harry St. Clair, reserved seat man; John Leary, Springfletd. 111., boss of ring stock: AndrewHowland. New York State, canvasman; Frank Thorp Peru. Ind., trainmaster of circus train: Robert Rice, harnessmaker; George Smith, blacksmith; Charles Sands, Peru. Ind., I driver; Joe Wilson, Pittsburg; W. J. McCoy. Columbus. Ohio, canvasman with sideshow; Edward York, Terre Haute. Ind.; eight unknown men. Three cars of the stationary first I section were telescoped and the engine and five cars of the moving train were demolished. The rear car of the first section was a caboose in which . tainmen were sleeping, and the next l two were filled with sleeping circus employes. The greatest loss of life ■ was in the caboose. One of the wrecked care of the second section was occupied by five elephants and several camels. One of the elephants and two camels were killed outright, while the other animals and their trainers escaped injury. With the exception of this car. none of the menagerie was wrecked, the other demolished cars containing canvas or wagons, and there was comparatively little excitement among the wild animals Injured Taken to Detroit. Detroit Mich.. Aug. B.—Twenty-two of the injured circus men were brought to Detroit in a special hospital train and taken to Harper hospital. At the hospital it is stated that none of them was likely to die to-day. although John Thomson, of Peru. Ind., George Clough of Geneva. Ohio and James Stewart of Denver, are in a serious condition and may not recover. RECORD-BREAKING RUN. From Coast to Coast In Fruitless Race Against Death. T.os Angeles, Cal.. Aug.
