WASHINGTON, Feb. THE senate to-day
passed bill which had previously been
adopted by the house, to authorize retired
list for privates and non-commis-
stoned officers Of the army, who
have served for thirty years or up
wards. Those thus retired are to receive
75 per cent. Of the pay and allowance Of
rank upon which they are retired. In sup
port of the bill the military committee re
ported that the annual desertions from the
army are between three and four thousand,
and any measure that would lessen this
number might we'll be consil-
cred an economical one, but beyond the
question Of economy stands that of justice.
IL is no more than justice that the soldier
who has given all the best years of his life
TO the military service Of the country should
have some provision made for his old age
besides the present soldiers home, where he
is separated from his family.

~ am glad to see that congress is devot-
ing some of its time to needrd reforms In
the fast mail service said Capt Blakeley to
a GLOBE reporter yesterday, in referring to
the Washburu amendment to the postoffice
appropriation bill Introduced last Friday.
The point Of the amendment is, - he con-
tinued, THAT no greater delay shall be made
in the transmission Of mail at transfer points
than is absolutely necessary. All this trouble
comes from the unnecessary delay
at Chicago, which shouldn't be al
lowed to occur for any purpose; the
idea Of holding train over in that city for
several hours Just tn accommodate few
corporations is prrpnsteruus- | see no rea-
son why the fast mail should not arrive 10
