THE conclusions of the Secretary Of War
as to army administration are further
indicated by his reply to the friends of

the army, when officer is relieved for proper
reasons, indeed for necessary reasons, for him
and his friends to demonstrate, as if he had a
peculiar night to perform a particular duty, and
nus frlends are very apt to think, because he
does not like the removal, that some personal
injury IS cast upon him, or some reflection is
made upon his character or services; quite the
contrary. Removals and appointments so far
as l know anything about them or have any
thing to do with them, are made simply for the
good of the service and this is one of those
cases, and involves no discredit to the officer"

A Suspicious Case.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
LoGANsPoRT, Aug. 13.-Last evening James
Ruth, young man from Walton, this county,
drove up to the Murdoch Hotel of this city, and
asked for a room for little girl in
his company. The girl was Ada, the fourteen
year old daughter of Henry Ulery, farmer resi-
ding eight miles east of the city. The matter
looked suspicious to ". D. Jones, proprietor of
the Murdoch, and Ruth was charged with intent
to abduct theichid He denied the charge, and told
an improbable story of taking the little girl to
Walton to work for his mother. He asked that
his companion be called to accompany him on
the 1880 train south this morning, and left the
hotel. In the meantime the officers were mott
fed, and it was decided to detain the child, who
admitted that she had left home in the absence
of her parents. When train time came this
morning, Ruth failed to put in an appearance,
and it is believed that he has jumped the city.
The little girl, who is unusually bright and
pretty, will be returned to her parents.

AUSTRALIAN MAIL SERVICE.
An Agent En- Route to England to Arrange
for New Service for the Mails.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14-Hon. Richard c.
Baker, ex- Minister of Justice, of South Austria
liza, who arrived in the last Australian steamer
en- route for London, being interviewed by the
Examiner on the probabilities of the withdrawal
of the Pacific Mail steamers said: ut is pre-
cisely upon matters relating to this that am
now going to London. 1 have been
commissioned by the Australian colonies TO go
and consult with the home government relative
to an agreement which has been drawn up by
which the English-American mail service can be
let to any steamship company. The agreement
referred to has been signed by South
Australia, New South Wales and Victoria
and [ have reason to believe Tasmania,
Queenstown and West Australia will also sign
IT. Whether New Zealand will do so is doubtful.

Mr.. Baker added that the Canadian Pacific had
offered to provide weekly English Australian
thirty-day mail service, via Vancouver island for

paying twice that sum, it was possible the
Canadian Pacific would secure it, The prob

Shore Sailors Must Go to Sea.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-An order similar TO
that recently issued by Secretary EndicOtt, will
shortly be sent out by the Navy Department.
The navy regulations require that officers shall
serve three years at sea, and three years on
shore returning at the end of the latter period
to sea duty. Complaint has been made by some
officers that they did not receive their full time
on shore. To remedy any such evil that may
occur one from the line and one from the staff
will probably be detailed, at an early date, to
keep record showing the kind of work officers
are EMPLOYED on and the length of time they
have been engaged. When three years of shore
duty have elapsed, the officers will be sent to

A Lesson To Be Learned.

Atlanta Constitution.
Sooner or later lie is always exploded. Take
the case of General Grant When he began to
rise in the army his envious rivals circulated
the report that he was coarse, illterate and
drunkard. President Lincoln gave quietus to
the charge of drunkenness. But the notable
part of the business is that Grant, without re-
plying to a single SANDER or invention, managed
in the course of his career to completely vindi-
cate himself He never said, Il am not drunk
ard, but lived so as to show all the world that
he was sober man. He never denied that
Rawins and others wrote all his letters and dis
patches, but let the public gradually discover
the facts. When it was said that his silence was
evidence of dulness and incapabity he never
claimed that he could make a speech but when
the time came spoke often and successfully in
public. People who credited him with no literary
ability, found out during the last year of the
Generals life that he resembled Caesar in the
ability to handle the pen as we'll as the sword.
The wonder is not that these falsehoods were all
exposed. but that the silent and superb contempt
with which Grant treated them should have
triumphantly refuted them all. There is lesson
to be learned by liars from the life of this silent
and patient man. No man can be talked or
written down except by himself

Railroad Land Claims Suspended.

WAsHIHGToN, Aug. 14-Acting Commits
sioner Walker OF the General Land Office,
has declined issuing any more patents to
the Northern Pacific railroad, pending a
decision fixing the legal status of the road In
this regard he follows the rule laid down by
Commissioner Sparks in relation TO the Cali
fornia & Oregon and the Oregon & California
railroads The question at issue, briefly stated,
is that the road was not completed within the
time required by law, and that until Congress
takes definite action, one way or the other, no
steps should be taken to place it beyond the
power of the legislative branch of the govern
ment to protect the public rights.
