KANSAS CITY. Mo., Aug. lO.-If the
sentiment expressed by delegates passing
through Kansas City on their way to he
Grand Army convention at San Francisco I
correctly represent the situation. General
Mile will be a formidable candidate for
commander-in-chief. j
There are evidences that there la more
than a perfunctory organisation of the
campaign on hi behalf. Member of the
official delegation from New York have re
ceived letters saying General Miles will be
a candldato and urging their support. They
say that the letters were not from Gen
eral Miles himself, but from aoma one ap
parently empowered to represent him.
"General Miles lives In our atate," said
John 8. Koster, department commander of
the atate of New York, "and we may sup
port him for commander-in-chief, although
we may not be a unit on the proposition.
Resolutlona were adopted at our state en
campment endorsing General John G.
""lack, but you wiil understand that these
' oluttons are not binding on the dele
.atea to the national convention. We have
received letters soliciting our uiport for
General Miles, and, as I said before, he
prooably will receive some votea from the
New Tork delegation.
General Miles endeared himself to all of
the, soldiers of the big war by his con
duct In that war and the splendid record
In the years that followed previous to his
coming Into the command of the army.
How much the fact that he has been at
out wit I. the administration will affect hla
candidacy I cacnot say.
"I don't know the sentiment of other dele
gations to the national convention, but I
presume General Milea will not lack a re
spectable backing.",'
"General Miles has any number of friends
In the Grand Army and It may be he will
be a formidable candidate." said General
Nicholas Day of New Tork.
Bay Mile Stands So Show.
J. T. Stewart, present commander-ln
chief of the Grand Army of the Republic
who passed through Kansas City today on
the way to the grand encampment, said:
"General John C. Black of Chicago will
be the next commander-in-chief. I don't
think any other candidate can win against
him. The majority of the larger depart
ments In the country have Instructed for
General Black and he will be elected."
"Will there bo any recognition of Gen
eral Milea in the convention, any resolu
tions or anything ot that kind?' was
asked.
"I cannot say s to that." continued
General Stewart. The retirement of Gen
eral Miles has been so recent that any
sentiment created at the time or following
hi retirement has hardly developed yet. It
may be there wtll 4e some action takes in
San Francisco that would express the ap
preciation of the boys of '61 for the serv
ice rendered by a comrade In that war,
especially a comrade who haa aince com
manded the army of the United States,
but, as I said before, t have no knowledge
that General Milea la a candidate for commander-in-chief,
but I am aura he cannot
be elected."
Jefferson Association Electa Miles.
WASHINGTON, Aug. W.-General Miles
has accepted the 'fflce of president of the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial association, and
the (.saoclation announce that hla election
is for the remainder of lta existence.
In hla ietter of acceptance General Milea
aaya:
" I am in receipt of you letter of the 6th
ult., notifying me that I have been unani
mously choeen president of the organisa
tion for the erection at the national capi
tal of a national memorial to the author
of the Declaration of Independence.
The annunciation of doctrines, in that In
strument was so comprehensive, ao far
reaching, so grand tn design and ao noble
In purpose, and resulted In such an up
lifting of the people of the new world and
the millions who have followed, that its
importance can scarcely be expressed In
words or comprehended in thought. This
work, added to other achievements of noble
fiurpore during the life of its author, make
t fitting that we should erect a memorial
Indicating our appreciation of hla geniua
and labors.
Having the treateat ymnathy with the
object of the association, I shall gladly

passengers struggling to escape from the
station. Amid the Increasing smoke many
attempted to return along the line towuxd
Belleville and were suffocated.
The officials seem to have lost their beads
and are unable to say how many passen
gers went out. The firemen for several
hours were unable to enter the station or
the tunnel owing to the dense smoke which
poured out In black clouds. Meanwhile
tens of thousands of anxious people gath
ered about the station. All the police and
fire authorities were on the f pot and the
excitement was Intense.
Finally the firemen aucceeded In flooding
the burning man and shortly afterward
they were able to enter the tunnel. They
brought up the corpses of five men and
two women, all belonging to the working
class.
They are believed to be many more bod
ies In the tunnel.

of Kuropa to enforce the provisions of the

tervention is the only means of remedying

It Is evident that reform measures, to

Macedonia, some one who haa never held
office under the porte and who must be
Independent of the Turkish government In
