The Surgeon and the Sentry.

From the Army and Navy Review.
An Army surgeon was one night annoyed by
the coughing of the sentry outside his tent.
Unable TO sleep, he decided that something
must be done for the man, and SO compounded
him strong and very disagreeable dose Of
medicine. Then, going out, he ordered the
man to take it. The sentry refused at first POI
liteIy, and afterward angrily and emphaticafly
But the surgeon sternly insisted upon his rights,
and the man was finally induced to swallow the
compound The result was evidently satisfac-
tory. The sound of coughing ceased in the
camp, and the surgeon went to sleep with the
consciousness Of having done good deed The
next morning he was summoned by the officer
in command, who said to him: How is this,
sir? hear serious complaints about you in re-
lation to the sentries. One of them has report
ed that in the middle of the night you came out
of your tent and abused him in the most dread
full manner. He said you made him swallow q
drink which must have been poison" The
guard had been relieved while the surgeon was
compromising his mixture, and he had cured
the wrong man.

THE NEWS IN ENGLAND.
The Presidents Action Called ssDelib-
erately Offensive

Cable Dispatch to the New York Herald
The action Of President Cleveland toward
Minister Sackville was known here only late
last evening, but at the leading clubs was the
one topic Of conversation and was bitterly con-
demned by all Englishmen present. The gen.
eral expression of opinion is of the tone as
sumed by the Standard, the only paper that
treats OF the matter. In o semi-official edito-
rial this morning 1t speaks Of the action al not
only brusque, but brutal, refers to the action
Of the President as deliberately offensive"
and says:
IF the intelligence we publish this morning
from Washington be substantially accurate in
its verbal details the American Government
have taken summary action Of a deliberately
offensive kind in relation to Lord Sackville
Mr.. Bayard has informed the British ambassador
that for reasons already known to the English
government his continuance is no longer accept
able and would consequently be detrimental to
the relations between the two countries. It must
be hoped that a more precise account Of the
terms OF the communication will take from the
brusqueness-we are tempted to say brutality
Of the message. Apparently it has been
thought necessary to assert American dignity
by insisting on some open rebuke Of Lord
Sackville. The inference seems to be that Lord
Salisbury saw nothing in his conduct to Justify
severe disciplinary measures, and consequently
American craftsmanship felt it necessary to
taKe the punlSnment lnto lts own hands. In
any case Lord Salisbury will be well advised
if he proceeds with all possible dispatch to
acquaint his countrymen with the nature Of
his communication to Mr.. Phelps. The atti-
tude assumed by the President may then be in
telligible, though it can hardly be reconciled
with regard to English susceptibilities. He
may be quite sure, however, that opinion on
this side the Atlantic will distinguish between
what he has done as q candidate, and what,
had he been free from the despotism of cleo
tioneering he would have thought it his duty to
do az chief magistrate. Pity for the statesman
whom the complexion Of his country's politics
forces to disregard not only international cour-
tesies but the plainest dictates of right feeling
will blend with and neutralize any passing
emotion of national resentment"
The Standard concludes by referring to that
part Of the American press which can afford to
keep its head and obey its conscience during
the presidential campaign, and observes that
Mr.. Cleveland has saved his electioneering
prospects at the expense Of the honor of Amer
lean public life.

General Kruger ON the Tunnel.

Special 70 the Baltimore Sun.
Referring to the aqueduct tunnel, General
Ruger says he thinks a big mistake was made
in disseminating the work, as he believes the
tunnel can be completed and will answer the
purpose for which it was intended. The scheme
is practical, and there is no reason why the
work should be abandoned. The tunnel was q
great undertaking, and ample time should have
that character cannot be done in a hurry. The
members Of the court propose to further explore
the tunnel their inspection Of it last Saturday
was hurried and necessarily unsatisfactory.
General Ruger says that the most substantial evil
dence the court can obtain on this subject il TO
be found in the tunnel As . member Of the
court he could not express his peraonal oonvic-
tions as to the responsibility for the imperfect
work, but he IL confident that the tunnel win
eventually be completed and the water supply
Of Washington increased.

With Passing q Worthless
Check.

The detectives have in their possession
warrant for the arrest Of Charles A. Walter, IT,,
son of Justice Walter, charging him with false
pretenses. The warrant was sworn out by Mr..
Frank K. Ward, who alleges that Walter passed
on him a bogus check for $40 by representing
