Concerning the acceptance by the Presi-
dent Of Secretary Belknaps resignation,
1t Is said the former has emphatlcally stated
that he was not aware, at the time, of the
enormity Of the charges against the latter.
From the hurried and incoherent manner
OF the secretary's conversation to him
the President drew the conclusion that
Mrs. Belknap, and not her husband,
was the guilty party, and that the General
assumed all responsibility and eensure in
order 10 shield his wife. Although he
did not inform the President that he was
actually guilty, he confessed that he was
not free from blame. Had the President
known OF the whole truth in the matter, it is
said he would not have accepted the resigna-
ton rs he did, but would have suspended the
Secretary until the Investigation was over
AT meeting of the Cabinet, on the Sd, the
President stated that he had determined 10
shrink from no responsibility that rested
upon him, and he therefore asked the

steps TO proceed with criminal charges

Mr.. ALFRED NEWTON writes a striking
protest to the Times against the wholesale
slaughter of birds for the sake of orna-
mental feathers. He quotes the proceed
ings of a single sale of feathers to show
that to supply that sale alone 9,100 herons
(or egrets) must have been destroyed All
these feathers are said to have come from
India last autumn. Mr.. Newton observes
that no country could supply 10000
herons in single breeding season without
nearly roohng out the stock Moreover,
$1,000 humming birds and upward were
included in the sale, OF which 140 were OF
a single kind. As far as we know, none
of those birds really diminishthe stock OF
food available for man, so that in destroy
ing them for mere show we empty the
world absolutely of certain portion OF
its beauty and happiness-while the beauty
is certainly by no means made up in the
ornamentation OF feminine toilets which
is thus procured. In this age of fine
moralities does no one really bestow a
thought on the morality of such reckless
spoliaton of life as this?-Londoa Spec
