In naval circles the inside story of Selfridge's
suspenson-for there is an inside hlstOry-is well

between Admiral Chandler and his wife an intense
dislike of Captain Selfridge, because as officers

Captain Selfridgc's own suggestion, will be held
in order that he may be proptrly eXonerated.
Some time since there was denial that any
social troubles existed between the Admiral and

THE RELIC

WASHINGTON Apul lSpeciaD.-Another rel
ative of George Washington wants to sell some
thing to the United States Government. The
Nation has already purchased his shoes, and shoe
buckles his old coats, and waistcOais, his epauIets
his snuf-boXcs, his trunks, his commissions, his
medals his records, his home, and several swords.
His relatives have peddled these things out IN
way that would do credit TO the business qualities
Of Chatbam-square merchant.
Mr.. Evarts and the Library Committee OF tho
Senate are now willing to pay $4,000 Tor another
sword of Washngton's. This sword is said to
be the one that he wore when he resigned his
commission at Annapolis. In the opinion OF
great many people the Nation bas a sufficient
number of the swords of Washington TO keep
his memory alive. Another at the expense Of
$50 0UU seems hardly necessary.

DODGE S OFFENCE
WASHINGTON, April s Special. Another move
ment is on foot to GUST Mr. Dodge, the statistican
of the Agricultural Department Despite the at
taclzs OF the tobacco men, Mr. Dodge seemed firmly
intrenched III his place. Now, however, a new
clement is arrayed against him. 1t IS said that
the President sent for Commissioner Colman last
week and told him that Mr. Dodge must go. The
last straw that broke the cameps back, it is SAID,
was the discovery OF the reissue by the Republicans
this year Of political pamphlet prepared by Mr.
Dodge in 1884, and then circulated, in which he
undertook to show that the agriculturists OF the
country were directly benefited by protective
tariff That is an offence that no free-tlade Presl-
dent can overlook and Mr. Dodge, though one
Of the most capable OF men, may now probably
have TO walk the plank.'

Concord, \. H., II present, made a speech
praisng itself and then charged the veterans
S25 for helping its little boom along. Now this
is evidently wrong The physical wreck is
mighty particular when il secs an opportunity

able to quite complete his case screws him
down TO the last dollar in the interest Of econ
omy and reform and the "boomlet" aforesaid.
But it doesn't think it dishonest to absent itself

be given TO the perfeciing OF those stupendous
problems of reform now rampant in the Pension

THE REASON why sonic Of the

ness considerations. There are those
on the mailing list Who do not draw
d very marked line between n,e,4ns

per would have been a much more
useful factor to day if the funds
