again 10 inc attenuon OF congress some I'M
portant suggestions as to the reorganization OF
the infantry and artillery arms OF the service
which his predecessors have before urgently
presented. Our Army is small, but its organiza-
ION should all the more be put upou the most
approved modern basis The conditions upon
what We have called the "frontier" have here
tosore required the maintenance Of many small
posts, but now the policy of concentration is
obviously the right one. The new posts should
have the proper strategic relations to the only
frontiers" we now have, those of the seacoast
and of our northern and part of our southern
boundary. do not think that any question OF
advantage TO localities to States should de.
termine the location of the new posts. The re-
organization and enlargement of the Bureau OF
, Military Information which the Secretary has
effected is a work the usefulness of which will
become every year more apparent. The work
OF building heavy guns and the construction of
coast defenses has been well begun and should
be carried on without check.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
The report Of the Attorney General is by law
submitted directly to Congress, but 1 canno;
refrain from saving that he has conducted the
increasing work of the Department Of Justice
with great professional skill! He has in sew
eral directions secured from the courts de-
cisions giving increased protection to the Of
ficers of the United States and bringing some
classes OF crime that escaped local cognizance
United States. where they could be tried with
impair tiality.
The numerous applications for Executive
clemency presented in behalf of persons con-
victed In United States courts and given peni-
tertiary sentences have called M attention to
fact referred to by the Attorney General in
his report, namely, that time allowance for
good behavior for such prisoners is prescribed
by the Federal statutes only where the State in
which the penitcntiary is located has made no
| such provision. Prisoners are given the benefit
OF the provisions of the State law regulating the
penitentiary to which they may be sent. These
are various, some perhaps too liberal and some
perhaps too Iliberal. The result is that a
| sentence for fivc years means one thing il the
prisoner is sent to one State for confinement
and quite different thing II he is sent to an
other. l recommend that q uniform credit Tor
good behavior be prescribed by Congress.
have before expressed my concurrence in
the recommendation Of the Attorney General
| that degrees Of murder should b recognized in
the Federal statutes they are, believe, in ali

rect distinctions in crime. The recognition of
| them would enable the courts 10 exercise some
| discretion in apportioning punishment. and
would greatly relieve the Executive of what il
coming to be very heavy burden-ths EXAM

advantages in the ocean trade of the Pacific
that we did not possess on the Atlantic. The
construction Of the Canadian Pacific
Hallway and the establishment Under
England of fast steamship service from
| Vancouver with Japan and China seriously
threaten our shipping interests in the Pacific.
| This line of English steamers receives. as is
stated by the Commissioner of Navigation. a
direct subsidy of S400000 annually. or $50. 767
per trip for thirteen voyages in addition to
some further aid from the admiralty in connec-
ton with contracts under which the vessels
may be used for naval purposes. The compel
ing American Pacific mail line. under the act
OF March 3, 1891, receives only S6,3S9 per round
| trip.
Efforts have been making within the last
year. as am informed, to establish under SIM
| liar conditions q line between Vancouver and
some Australian port, with view of Selling
| there trade in which we have had large in

| that n very large per cent of our imports from

and transportation across our territory are not
such as to make the Canadian route a favored
one, and that the discrimination as to duties to
which l have referred, is met by a like discrimi-
nation as to the importation of these articles

No subject, think, more nearly touches the
pride, the power. and the prosperity of our
country than this of the development Of our
merchant marine upon the sea. II we could
enter into conference with other competitors
and all would agree to withhold Government
aid we could perhaps take our chances with
the rest, but our great competitors have estab-
lished and maintained their lines by Govern
| mcnt su bsidies until they now have practically
excluded us from participation. In my opinion
no choice is left to US but to pursue, moderately
| ut least, the same lines.
| THE NAVY DEPARTMENT..
The report Of the Secretary OF the Navy ex-
hibits great progress in the construction of our
new Navy. When the present Secretary en-
tered upon his duties only three modern steel
vessels were in commission. The vessels since
put In commission and to be put in commission
during the winter will make . total Of 10 during
his administration Of the Department. During
the current year 10 war vessels and navy tugs
have been launched. and during the four years
20 vessels win have been launched. Two other
large ships and . torpedo boat are under CON-
hact and the work upon them we'll advanced,

must 20 out and the railways DE gwen the
chance of getting new crews entirely or
submitting to organized labor. And to
consider this important matter Sargent
and the heads of the other organiza-
tions will hold a conference.
Not Likely To Be General.
Sargent says there are l, 200 members Of
his order in this vicinity and disclaims
anything like secrecy when a conclusion il
reached. But, beyond complimentary
expression of confidence in Grand Master
Sweeney, he seems to give the latter little
encouragement of ultimate help. Such a
strike as suggested is hardly possible
from the very character of the leaders who
are expected to consider the interests of
the men. Grand Master Sweeney, of the
switchmen, will not think it a pleasant
thing to order out switchmen at other
points unless he is sure of the support OF
the other organizations. Grand Master
Sargent, who has been interviewed to
death since his arrival, has moth ng TO say
in any shape that will foreshadow the
probable action of the firemen.
Must Reckon with Arthur.
Even should Sargent and Sweeney act
together, 1t is safe TO assume that Grand
Chief Arthur, of the engineers, and Grand
Master Clark, of the conductors, will both
be against action that will involve their
respective bodies in any position other
than that of conservatism. Hence, if the
conference consists of five members. and n
majority vote is to rule, it is possible the
attitude of Grand Master Wilkinson, of
the trainmen, may be the deciding factor.
1t is thought. however, that his natural
position will be on the side of the engineers

BUFFALO, Aug. 23.-An attack was

night by gangs of strikers and their
friends. They crept up to within stones
throw of the camp, hiding under cars and
behind tracks, and then threw stones and
pieces of iron at the soldiers. The soldiers
shooting was kept up long time and
still the stone throwing continued.
Renewed the Attack.
AT 3 a. m., the attack was renewed, and
was replied to again with cold lead, most
of the shots coming from the direction of
the Clinton street crossing of the Nickel
Plate road. 1t was impossible to get any

details are known General Porter says
he believes the situation is now more crit

began.
Two Men Reported Killed.
1t is reported that two strikers were
killed. Out on the Tiff farm, where the
Twenty second regiment is on guard,
shooting began at IL o'clock and continued

to shoot every man dead who attempted

LET Us ACT.

Again THE TRINUNE would urge upon
every citizen of Olympia the necessity of
cleaning up your premises at once. While
we wish to say nothing tending to frighten,
yet the situation concerning cholera and
the probability Of its reaching us here
shortly makes us bold to say that the con
dition is serious indeed. Let each citizen,
personally, thoroughly examine his or her
premises Immediately, and if not abso-
lutely clean, take such action as will make
them so. On the promptness and thor
Oughness OF your work may depend
health and life of your family and self
and that of your neighbor DON'T treat
this appeal lightly. The introduction OF
this disease in our city means death. In
all human probability perfect cleanliness
will prevent its coming.
THE TRIBUNE has unbounded confidence
in the ability, energy and determination
of Health Officer DR.. Newell, and that he
will make special effort to guard against
it. Let every citizen give the doctor all
possible aid.

THE OLDEST WAR HORSE.

SDArs. Gatnes'' Enjoying a Conn
Portable Old Age at LenOx.
Mrs Gaines" was captured by scout
ing party belonging to the Fourth Michi-
gan Volunteers, at Gaines Mills, Va. in
June, 1862. Some months later she became
the property of her present owner Col.
Richard T. Auchmuty, of Lenox, Mass.
"Mrs. Gaines" witnessed the seven davs'
battles around Richmond and was at
Charlottesville, Gettysburg, and Bristoe
Station. She was at Fort Stevens during
Early's attack on Washington, in 1864, and
the following spring followed Iincoln's
body from the White House to the Capt.
tol, being in the escort detailed to guard
President JOhnsOn's carriage.
After the war she was taken to New
York, and then spent year at HYDE Park
on the Hudson. In 1867 she was taken to
LenOx, where she has since remained hav-
ing been ridden by her owner until two
years ago, when her appearance of age
rather than her lack of activity prevented
her use. The mare has heYer been in har-
ness. She occupies a spacious bOX-stall
from which, after consuming a pail of
milk mixed with oatmeal and bran, she is
let out every morning. She then walks to
brook, which crosses the highway about
hall mile distant and after taking a drink
returns to her owners farm, over which
she is allowed to roam, picking out clover
patches or nlbbling at the young oats or
corn, but doing no serious damage. Tow
ard evening, or when the weatheris threat
ening, she returns to her box stall and at
night has another pail of milk for her sup

Mrs. Gaines" was five years old when
she was captured, and is now in her thirty
sixth year. There are probably few if any

of the Potomac in 1862. If she is not the
