He 10 Promoted to BE Surgeon General
of the Army.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-The president
has nominated Col. .Jedediah H. Baxter,
chief medical purveyor of the army, to be
surgeon general, with the rank of brig
adler general. BaXter's promotion has
been expected for some time, and the
news that his name had been sent to the
senate caused no surprise. The local
press is well pleased with the appoint
ment
Mr.. Baxter is graduate OF the Univer-
sity of Vermont, from both the academic
and medical branches of that institution,
and he was also graduated from the law
school of Columbia university Of the Dis
trict of Columbia. He is a member of the
bar of the supreme court as we'll as of the
Medical Association of the District of Co
lumbia. His professional ability is un-
questioned, and being the ranking officer
in his corps his promotion to be surgeon
general is regarded as eminently fitting
and proper. Col Baxter was not only
ranking officer in the medical corps next
to the surgeon general, but was senior to
all other colonies in the army excepting
Col. Smith and Col. Kautz.

Friday, Aug. Is.

WASHINGTON, Aug 15.-In compliance
with the resolution of the senate of last
July, calling for all correspondence not al
ready submitted to congress and now in
the department of state, touching the
efforts made by this government to secure
the modification Of repeal by the French
government to its decree of 1881 prohibit
ing the importation into France of
American pork and kindred American pro-
ducts, the president sent to the senate q
letter from the acting secretary of state on
the subject, together with large volume
of correspondence between Minister Reid
and Secretary blaine, beginning July, 1885,
The acting secretary, in his letter of
transmittal, states that the correspon-
dence discloses the important fact that
the French government now practically
places its exclusion of our pork products
upon economic instead of sanitary
grounds. This policy of exclusion, says
Mr.. Wharton. for the protection of the
domestic products of France, is applied
only to the United States. and the depart.
ment has protested against thediscrinlina-
ton as unjust
The correspondence includes statements
by the secretary of agriculture to the sec
Rotary of state of the prohibitive edicts
and regulations. but the most important
portion is contained in long letter ad.
dressed by Mr. Reid to M. Ribot on july
3 last. In this he reminds the minister
that relying on apparent assurances that
the French government would repeal the
prohibition on pork, the American house
OF representatives voted to remove the ex-
1stlng duty OF 30 per cent. on pictures and
statues. Now that the prohibition still
stands the senate committee has amended
the tariff bill by reimposing this duty land
there is danger that the senate will al.
prove their action.
The grievance, says Mr.. Reid, lies not in
the size of the duty imposed on American
pork, but in discrimination in favor of
European countries and against historic
friend by absolute prohibition of the
American product in the ground of its bad
quality. Mr.. Reid points out that the
most rigorous examination of he products
by French scientists has been challenged.
He shows that the French government is
not only depriving its people of a cheap
and wholesome article of food, but is also
robbing its treasury of large amount of
duties which the importation of pork pro-
ducts would naturally bring. The French
steamers have lost a valuable line of
freight and the grocers and peddlers of
France a staple and useful trade. The
only persons to profit by the exclusion and
lack OF competition with American pork
are the small class Of middlemen, who are
thus enabled to exact larger profits.
Mr.. Reid adds that there is no real COM
petition between the American sailed
pork and the French fresh pork. They
are sold to entirely different classes and
the statistics do not show that the price
of French pork has at any time been
affected by the presence or absence of the
American Importation.

mark: The removal of the cOmpany's
machine shops and other works from
Crewe to Lambert's Point, near Nor
folk, recently decided upon, and This
transfer of the Roanoke offices to
Lynchburg, would indicate that the
company intended making the termi
nal points Norfolk and Bristol,
and the central point Lynchburg, the
three main division headquarters OF
the great railroad system. We do not
believe Roanoke, Radford and Crewe
are to be utterly obliterated as ippor
tant railroad centres, but they viii
still be made the headquarters for sub
divisions. The work now being done
by this road is simply immense, and
the line must soon be sub-diviGed,
while the location of Norfolk, Lynch
burg and Bristol make them pre-emi-
nently the prominent points for prin-
cipal offices.
There are always any number of
newspapers aud people who never neg
lect an opportunity to laugh at Rcan-
oke and the position it has gained

For week or two past the TINES
has noticed any number Of editorials in
the newspapers Of the Southwest, re-
printing the remarks Of The Lynchturg
papers and commenting favorably upon
them.
There is no doubt about it, the towns
of the Southwest are jealous OF tie
progress Of this city. They never let
an opportunity pass without doing
their utmost to belittle the citvin every
way. But we are accustomed to such
things. We can afford to laugh at
them, and despite their efforts the city
is elbowlug its way forward.
Roanoke can show an increase
during the past few years that no
other city i'll the country can show.
Figures talk, and we challenge
any of the booming towns, Lynchburg
included, to make such an exhibit as
we are making today.
PRESIDENT EDDY, in an interview
with TIMES reporter on Monday,
denied emphatically that any change
in the location OF the general offices
would be made. Other officers also
denied that such thing was thought
of and the matter has been settled if
it were ever otherwise.
