will appoint some one else. The more
the matter is Investigated, the more
contemplate Jarrett appears, for there
is plenty of evidence to show that even
since his appointment he has never re-
fcrred to the President except IN the
most vulgar and disrespectful way.
The president is receiving large num-
Der Of letters from Pittsburg, written
by people who have heard Jarrett talk.
and qWote what he has said. Jarrett's
own conduct at the White House when
he came to see the president is caid to
have prejudiced his case very much.
for he assumed an arbitrary and dicta-
torial air, as if the office had been
created for his especial benefit, and the
president was not much OF a man any

''THE return of the officers of the
Greedy relief expedition to Washington
will be the occasion of a most demon
strative welcome" remarked a naval
officer to-day. ''The officers are every
one Of them we'll known and popular
here. Most Of them have either lived
here or done duty here, and the naval
officers here in Washington can ap-
preciate as highly as any people in the
world the importance and difficulty Of
the service which they have rendered.
We know that they are gallant, expcri-
enced, fearless, resolute men. who have
done credit to themselves a2d to the
entire navy by performing a most dan
gerous and trying duty with great skill,
courage, and success. This expedition
is one of the greatest achievements of
the navy, and proves that we can plan,
fit out, and conduct the most difficult
kind of an expedition in the most
creditable manner. 1t ought to silence
the attacks on the navy, as far, at least,
as tie officers are concerned. We will
testify our appreciation of the efforts
Of Captain Schley and his associates in
a substantial manner"
