WASHINGTON , Sept. 0. General Miles ,
accompanied by Colonel Mlchclcr of
his staff , called nt the White
House shortly before the cabinet meeting
began. The general wore fatigue uniform ,
showing the two-starred epaulettes of a
major gcn.cral. At the tline of his arrival
the president was conferring with Justice
Harjnn , Senator Allison nnd other callers
General Miles and Coloticl Mlchcler were
shown Into the cabinet ante-room nnd there
the president Joined them , excusing himself
from the other callers. The meeting be
tween the president and commanding gen
eral was comparatively brief , lasting about
llvo minutes , as the cabinet meeting was
about to begin. It * was not In the nature
of a confeicnco , during which questions re
lating to the war were dlHcussed , but was
that formal call of respect usual on the
return of a high official.
The conferenro for more extended discus
sion of war affairs doubtless will como Inter ,
though it was said after the call that no
exact time had been fixed for a further
meeting. General Miles had nothing to say
before or after the call. Ho wns greeted
with a round of applause a he left the
White House , pushing his way through the
dense erowd awaiting the review of re
turning District of Columbia troops.

Oenornl Miles cntno to the War depart
ment nt 10 o'clock today and after spending
u short tlmo In his riom at army head
quarters went to the olllco of the secretary
of war. Acting Secretary Melklcjohn was
at the desk of Secretary Algor when General
Miles entered accompanied by a member of
his Btnft. Mr. Melklcjohn and General
MllcH chattel for Bomo time on general
topics connected with the campaign In I'orto
Hlco and the return of the commanding
general. Shortly afterwards General Miles
left the department.
Speaking of the future of the nrmy Cen- !
mil Miles said there wtro a number of af
fairs that required consideration , vlth re
spect to the army organisation , and that
undoubtedly steps In that direction would
bo taken as soon as practicable. The matter
of mustering out the volunteer ufllcurs , In
correspondence with the general reduction
of thu nrmy by mustering out , he onld ,
would have to bo taken up nt nn early date
and undoubtedly would cause a rearrange
ment of the department command1 ! .
With respect to the reorganization of the
army General Miles snld the experience of
this war had clearly demonstrated what
military authorities well understood before ,
that the 't'HUbllslnhent of n standard wns
necessary to the entire clllclency of the
army. Ho said It was his Intention to rv >
onimend n plan of reoignnlzatlon to con
gress and that he believed the non-salty for
It would be recognized by thu public and
by congioag. .The acquisition of tettltory
obviously mnflo It necessary that there
bhould bo a larger army and the necessity of
establishing a standard and Inning 'tho
troops thoroughly trained to the military
service.
Trained .Vccilril.
U was desirable , lie paid , that the army
Bhould bo organized on the basis of one
f-oldler to every certain number of Inhabi
tants. It was recognized by military nil-
thorltlcs , even before the war of the re
bellion , that the establishment of u standard
was desirable , but from time to tlmo the
nrmy had been reduced until It had reached
a number disproportionately small to the
size of the country nnd Its iiouulntlon. He
thought tlint ono soldier to every 1,000 pop
ulation vrabnblv would be found to bo
about the right ratio for a standard and that
the nrmy , this standard being adopted ,
would be Increased according to the rec-
ocnlzed needs of the government In an
exact ratio to the Increase of population.
It Wns important , and this had been
clearly demonstrated In the war with Spain ,
that there should bo a full complement of
iioncorainlsslannd otncors , who were trained
to the hardshlys of military life and who
knew how to take care of themselves and
to look out for their own health nnd com
fort In a campaign. Ho said It was Im
portant to the efficiency of thp nrmy that
the men should have ( raining as to the

LONDON , Sept. 9. According to the
Madrid correspondent of the Times , the fol
lowing Is the text of the bill authorizing the
government to conclude peace :
The reverses suffered by our arms In the
unequal struggle to which wo were driven In
order to defend the honor of thn nation nnd
maintain Its rights deprived iifl nt an early
stage of the elements required for continuing
the war. The bravery of our soldiers nnd
pallors proved sufficient ns did the calm at
titude of the nation , ever ready to shed Its
blood and sacrifice Its resources for the honor
of the Spanish flag.
Separated by wide seas from the territory
It was our object to protect , and these
territories being closely blockaded so that
our few remaining ships could not reach
them , her majesty's government has been
compelled to admit the bitter truth , which Is
that an end must be put to the war.
The Fonso of responsibility entailed by the
I j.relimlnnry peace negotiations had weighed
moft heavily on the government. Notwith
standing It fully appreciated Its duty to
wards the country , the government has had
i to consent to those preliminary negotiations
and to bow to tb ? cruel sacrifices impejioil by
sheer necessity. For this reason and bc-
rnut-o peace must bo purchased at the cost
cf n cessation of territory and the abandon-
mei t of sovereign ! ; rights , the government
has thought It expedient to sound the Cortes

of which will bo duly notified to both
Chambers In accordance with constitutional
law.

CINCINNATI , Sept. P. The work of the
thirty-second annual encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic was happily
concluded lute In the afternoon today. There
was a small number , comparatively , In at
tendance In the morning , but later the num
bers were Increased and the desire to com
plete the work and turn to other duties
was so great that every ono connected with
the business of the encampment felt In
clined to hurry and for this reason per
haps the expected discussion on the resolu
tions from the pension committee did not
occur. The rule In almost every Instance
was to adopt reports as presented nnd In
this way the pension report went through
without objection , although It was modified
later lo take nway any Impression that
might have arisen that President McKInley
wns under censure.
While the encampment wns concluded In
the afternoon to that the new National
Board of Administration couTil meet with

cers than the ex-soldlors. Their afternoon

nois secured the comninnder-ln-chlef last

Relief coips. Today that state secured the
president of the Ladles Grand Army of the
Republic , as well as the vice president of
the Daughters of Veterans nnd ono of the
three members of Ita national council and
also the secretaries and councillor of the
Woman's Relief corps.

acclamation : Senior vice commnnder-ln-
chlef , W. C. Johnson of Cincinnati ; Junior

Iti'port on I'oiiMluiiN.
The report of the committee on pensions
Is as follows.
Your committee , to which wns referred
the resolutions relating to the pension ques
tion , report that It has Investigated nil reso
lutions respecting the subject matter and
recommend the adoption of thu following.
Resolved , That It Is the Judgment of this
encampment that In the administration of
the pension laws a generous nnd patriotic
constiuctlon should govern and the law be
administered In the spirit of Justice and
fairness , In which they were enacted ,
Rrsohed , That any effort to prevent the
honest applicant for o pension from suc
ceeding by any subterfuge , rule or forced
construction of the laws which will work
Injustice to the applicant la to bo con
demned by nil honorable men.
Resolved , That In view of the repeated
complaints of the unfair construction of the
pension law nnd of the making and enforce
ment of rules which arc in violation of the
law and Inimical to the Interest of appli
cants compels this encampment to call upon
Comrade William MoKlnley , president of the
United States , to exercise his authority and
to Eec that the law Is executed In a spirit
of fairness , Justice nnd liberality.
i Resolved , That all rules which tend to
1 hinder and embarrass the allowance of hon
est pension claims should be repealed , and
1 wo ask the president that he use his au
thority to cause these whoso duty It Is to
execute the laws to EO perform their duty
as to do justice to the soldiers and admln-
I Istcr to law so as not to obstruct the prose-
1 cution of pensions by technical require
ments not within the province of the law
and which are only calculated to binder and
obstruct In the effort to obtain lawful pen
sions. Your committee calls attention to the
fact that two years ago the country was
stirred to Its depths by complaints of the
Injustice of the then administration of the
pension bureau. These complaints were ga
specific and distinct that they furnished the
basis of political effort. They were the sub
ject of emphatic utterances by the national
encampment. Deyond doubt the political
campaign of 189 * ! was largely influenced by
thu hope of ameliorating tbo harsh condi
tions then obtaining In the pension bureau ,
We submit that this expected amelioration
ban not taken place ; that In no substantial
Instance has cue of those objectionable rules
been abrogated , but every one of them re
mains In full force nnd effect as under the
previous administrations.
IMIoiiH Trolliili-iil llule * .
The best Illustration of this li the odious
rule 525. which was substituted for the just
rule 161 , to the Infinite Injury of tens ol
thousands of much deserving' ' men und
women. It seems unnecessary to enlarge
upon the fuel tlmt the veterans had the |
right to expect very different treuununt
fiotu the present commissioner of pensions
than they received from his pieaecessor.
Another fact that It seems unnecessary to |
enlarge upon is that the time Is highly Im
portant to the veterans. The passing years
have n direful acceleration ( or them. Every
day brings them nearer the grave In In
creasing mtlo ; their needs cry out more
vociferously with every changing of the
moon , yet the number of weekly allowances
steadily diminishes , while the pension com
missioner officially states [ hat he has C25.000
claims pending In his bureau , on which ho
says 75,000 so for bnvo received nothing ut
nil. Elsewhere ho states about 200,000 sur- i
vlvorH received no pensions , nnd yet very '
recently the commissioner recommended
nnd carried through n reduction of 100 In
his force of clerks , on the ground that ho
had more force than he needed. This In
face of the fact that hardly a day passes
but that somewhere in this broad land the
pension claims arrive only In tlmo to bo
laid on the coffin of the applicant. In the
meanwhile the 10,000 employes of the pension
bureau continue the dreary round of clr-
cumli cution of pulling out the yellowing pa
pcrs , adding a notp to the fading endorse ,
ments nnd replacing them In the pigeon
holes. U has been estimated by a math
ematician fond of curious calculations that
the mere physical labor employed In these
futile handlings has been sufficient to have
picked up the Army of the Potomac In Its
proudest strength and carried It bodily from
Washington to Richmond.
Resolved. That the rule of the pcnl n
office by which a widow Is debarred fiom
pension If she has an Income of JlOi ) pel-
year Is unjust and we ask the president that
the order bo abolished and the minimum IL-
como debarring from pensions be UieJ at
not loss than $300 per annum. In
this connection wo desire to In
form tbo president that early In
his administration. It was Announced by a
hlBh official In the pension office that iho
widows' limit would be raised to $30) ) , but
It never materialized. , ,
Resolved , That.wo ask for the reestablishment
ment of order 161. which was enforced anai"
the Harrison regime. The order , In simple
terms , IOOK qognl/.ancc In rntlpg a nia.l s
pension of all the , disabilities ho suite , oil
under. U was abrogated by the last admin
istration and It was held that tp bo outltlcJ
to the lowest rate of $0 per month a com
rade must have some ono disability which
Is rated at that amount. If ho has three dis
abilities rated nt $4 each ho gets no pension
, nt nil. This Iniquitous rule Is maintained
up to this hour and wo submit that It Is ncrt
such treatment us we had a right to expect
from Comrade McKInley ,
Resolved , That In construing the phrase
"Inability to perform manual labor , " It bo
construed Inability to perform unprofes
sional , unskilled labor , labor requiring mus
cular efforts alone. Your commUtee- further
rcspectfuly states that It Is willing to re-
j celvo even the official statement of the com
missioner of pensions .with several largo
grains of allow ay. Ho states In one placu
that there are 73,000 comrades who never
I received a pension. In another place ho
1 fixes the figure at 200,000. Wo are nvvaro
that from tlmo to time ho Issues glowlus
statements as to the great work he Is doing
for the comparison to what was formerly
done , but most of his comparisons are with
the administrations of President Grant and
President Hayes. Pi lor to the act of IS'J ! )
granting a pension after ninety days' ser-
vlco for disability honorably Incurred even
after the war , he compares with the period
when the sum total of claims wns only 300-
000. When owing to the small force In thu
adjutant general's office. It took two years to
get a report on the claimant's record when
now It takes only five days. He compares
work with the work done when the clerks
in the pension office numbered only SOU ,
while ho has l.GOO. flo discreetly refrains
from giving proiulncnpo to the number of
his rejections. Our comrades living nnd the
widows , of the comrades dead cry aloud for
Justice. Wo votco their cry nnd bring It to
the car of that comrade In chief authority
over all the land , confident that ho will do
Justice.
The report was adppted without discus
sion.
Hut Little UIiiatiHnlDit.
T * 1 ; i *
As nn indication ufnuio high regard of
the encampment for ' resident McKInley ,
some time nftor the adoption of the report
of the comtnlUeq.on pensions a fear seemed
to have como Into the minds of some of the
comrades that some degree of blame had
been attributed to him. Judge , Terrence of
.Minnesota moved to , uxpungo from the re
port the sentence , , "Tills iniquitous rule is
maintained up to this hour und we submit
It is not such treatment as wo had n right
'to espect front Cohiratio William McKln-
ley. " Corporal Tanner Immediately got the
floor and stated that his high regard for
President McKInley was not exceeded by
any member of tlid encampment , and ho
begged permission to have the unanimous
consent of the encampment to add to the
sentence which It was sought to have ex
punged , "and wo are confident that when
ho Is once relieved from the mighty matters -
tors of national and world-wide Importance
which now command his attention ho will
see that Justice Is dono. "
The encampment unanimously gave per
mission to make this addition to the report
and the motion to expunge wns withdrawn.
Upon the motion of Comrade Death It was
decided that unless the railroads gave a
' , satisfactory guarantee to make the rates to
'
the next encampment not exceeding 1 cent
' per ratio and the hotels of Philadelphia
gavd a guarantee not to Increase their reg
ular rates at the time of the encampment
then the national council of administration
bo authorized to select such other city aa
would make these guarantees. These
guarantees must bo made not later than
February 12.
A resolution offered by a comrade from
Now York , declaring It to be treason for any
member of the Grand Army to refuse to do
j ( all In his power to glvo employment to fellow -
| low members , was the subject of quite an
animated discussion. The encampment , with
I considerable unanimity , voted down the
resolution ,
The application by the Ladles' Relief
corps for permission to amend their constl-
) tutlon so as to enable them to use relief
! funds for the benefit of the soldiers of the
, Spanish-American war was acted upon
favorably by the encampment.
The proposition to make eligible to mem
bership In the Brand Army soldiers who
have served In the war with Spain was laid
on the table.
