The idea is probably the broadest and thi boldest ever conceived by the corporation interests. It is r tat ed they have long since deypaned of obtaining favorable treatment through the enactment of Federal laws for the reason it wonld be necessary to amend the Constitu tion of the United Slates before this could be done. If they go to Canada-, hotvever, and organize themselves under British laws, they will enjoy what is practically national existence under the color of British charters Individuals who are citiieus of the United States would become by ftr.ch incorporation at least partial Bnbjects of the British crown. They personally would not be British subjects, but their corpora tions would enjoy the privileges of British subjects. frhe tnist people declare that they are now harrassed and subject ed to petty annoyances in various States. They assert that by obtain ing national charters from the Canadian" government they would free themselves from State inter ference and could be sued in this .country only through the United States courts. MILES' HARD LINES; General's Relations With the War Office Straiudd. Washington, D. C, Dec. 30. Gn. Miles has practically severed all bnt the most perfuufctory rela tions between himself and the Sec retary of War. It is a notorious fact at the War Department that Gen. Miles is re- ceiving -no more recognition at the hands of Secretary Root than he r 3 -? 1 f 1 was accoraeo ay oecreiary .aiger. ' U1UUW1 snggestion to the bead of the de- plained that the troops were suf fering from lack of officers and that the lieuteuauts appointed from civil life did not show capacity t6 gi-asp their dnties fully Gen. Miles recommended that the grad uating class of West Point be giv en commissions at ouce in order to fill about seventy vacancies which, how exist in the rank of second lieutenants. This would have givsn the army a lot of experienced and trained young officers. Secretary Root, however, turned down Gen. Miles' scheme and announced that the vacancies wourd be filled by ap pointments from civil Ufa. . " TREASURY SYSTEM. New Tort. Dec. 30.

Seriously, I did save that young man from going to the dogs through drink. It happened in this way. He is fi tiptop fellow, and lias no end of ability, but four or five years ago he began to let red liquor get the best of him, lie had a fine position at the timp, and I don't think he exactij neglected his workj but i$ got to De a common thing to su mm standing around barrooms in the evening, about two-third: full and talking foolish. A few of his close frieuds took thi liberty of giving him a quit ehint, ananas usual in such cases, he got highly indignant and denied point blank that he had ever been in the least under the influence. All the same, he kept increasing the pase until it became pretty easy to predict where he was going, to laud, and it was ihat stage of the game I did my reformation &2t. I was sitting in a restauraut one evening wheD he came in with some fellow and took the next table, without seing me. He was just drunk enough to be talkative about his private affairs, and on the impulse of the moment I pnlled out ray steno grapher's notebook aud- took a full shorthand report of every word he said. It was the usual maudlin rot of your good fellow half-seasover, shading off in spots to boozy pathosj where both gentlemen wept in their beer, and including numerous highly! candid details of the sneaker's daily life. Next morning I copied the whose thing neatly on the typewriter and sent it around to his office; In less than ten mizfates he catne tearing in, wiih bis eyes fairly hanging out of fchsir sockets. 'Greafc heavens! Charley !' he gasped, 'what ia this, anyhow V It's a stenographic report of yoiu monologue at a'lasi evening.' I replied, and gave him i brief explanation. 'Did I reaIIypresngJij; iaiir like that?' he asiceel raintly. 'I assure you it is an aosohtteer-ja batitn report,' said I. He trirnod pale and walked onti and from that day to this he hasn't taken adrinfc. ! a; . ,.f am Tr, h .-,n nnrSJWin. men. All tbat he needed wss to , hear himself as others hsard him. .
