ADMIRAL MEADE RETIRED
The Rebuke Administered by the President
in Granting the Application.
The Admiral Has Made No Effort to
See the Secretary of the Navy
or President.

The Meade incident has been closed, as
stated in yesterdays Star, in a way that
will be undoubtedly satisfactory to all par
ties concerned. The President grants his
application to be retired, and in so doing
takes occasion to administer a severe re-
buke in a dignified way. This action is
the result of a conclusion that the lack of
available information rendered court-mar-
tial proceedings impracticable and profit
less.
On the 9th instant Admiral Meade made
formal application to be retired the
Goth instant under the forty years service
clause. Secretary Herbert forwarded the
application to the President with a recon-
mendation that it be granted
The Presidents Action.
The Presidents action is shown in the
following Endorsement of the recommenda-
ton:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
May 90 1895.
1.-THE within recommendation is approx
ed, and Rear Admiral r. W. Meade is
hereby retired from active service in the
navy, pursuant to section 1443 of the Re-
vised Statutes. The President regrets eX
ceedingly that the long active service of
this officer SO brilliant in it's early stages
and so often marked by honorable Incl
dents, should at its close be furnished by
conduct at variance with commendabe
career and inconsistent with the example
which an officer of his high rank should
furnish of subordination and submission
to the restraints of wholesome discipline
and manifest propriety.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Zig Break in the Canal Bank Hn.
Been ReDaired.


The big break, on the two-mile level he
low Williamsport, has been repaired, and
boats are once more passing. 1t is report
ed that over sixty boats were tied up at
this point forty-five laden ones headed
Tor Georgetown, and fifteen light ones on
their way 20 Cumberland for new loads
Great dispatch was used in the repair of
the break. Canal men say the closing I'D
OF this break was accomplished with more
facility than any similarly sized one in the
canafs history. In day or two there will
be big mass of coal in town. Forty-fiye
or nifty boats, bearing an average cargo of
l15 tons, will come in at once There is a
big demand for coal again, and the vessels
are coming into port steadily to carry it
away.
They Were Married.
Last Wednesday evening Miss Wyvil
Troxell and Mr.. Warren Haslam were
quietly married here in the presence of
only the members of her family. Rev. Mr.
Graham, pastor of the Congress Street NJ.

ganist, performed the ceremony
Mr.. Frank b. Cogswell and Miss Eliza
beth Sparshott, both of this place. We're
ma on Monday last in Baltimore, Md.
Inc ceremony was performed at the par
sonase OF the Fulton Avenue Baptist
Church, the Rev. A. c. Barron officiating.
MI. and Mrs. Cogswell have taken up
will be at home to friends.
They Want Grades.
The people of Harlem, to the west of
town, ere engaged in organizing them
selves into a formal representation to ap-
pear before the Commissioners and appeal
for the establishment Of grades and the
running of street lines that building opera
tons may progress.
The very steep grade of the lower part
OF Foxhall road 1t bends into the con-
duit will also command the consideration
OF the representation. Horses are put I'M
DER terrible strain to pull loads up this
Incline. 1t is one Of the steepest in this
section.
Notes.
The commencement exercises of the Lin
thicum Institute will be held on June g.
The annual May procession of the chill

Guide Boards for the Suburban Road.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t may be like painting the rainbow and
doing other labor of supererogation to say
that the suburban roads of Washington are
surprisingly beautiful, but they are, and
shall say SO for the purpose of criticising
defect in that beauty, to wit: the absence
of guide boards. In a drive last Sunday,
over some uneXplored territory, 1 went
two miles out of my way to get to town.
and l saw several other people doing SINH
larly. 1t is quite embarrassing to be COM
PEELED to ask the way to Washington when
one is almost in sight, and yet there is such
a maze Of main roads and bride paths
and woody ways over all the territory
north of the boundary that only an expert
can reach given point without a guide
Small guide boards would easily and in
extensively obviate this difficulty, and give
the visitor an opportunity to enjoy the
suburban beauty, instead Of involving him
in brain-wearying problem of finding his
way. w. ]. 8.

Admiral Meade Here.

The retired admiral is in this city, where
he has been ever since his detachment
from command of the North Atlantic
squadron. He has not been near the Navy
Department, and SO far as known, has
made no effort to see either the President
or Secretary Herbert. AS a retired officer
he is still subject to all the naval regula-
tions, except that he cannot be given active
duty, except in time of war. His applica-
ton for permission to go abroad has been
revoked, and he cannot leave the country,
even as a retired officer, without permission
of the Navy Department. His salary on
the retired list is 1850 per annum.
