"For some reasons that will appear
more readily TO the politician than TO the
statesman the coincidence OF the dates of
the retirement OF General Miles from ae-
tive service and OF the convention of the
Grand Army OF the Republic at San Fran
cisco does not seem to promise TO add TO
the popularity OF the administration with
the Grand Army OF the Republic or TO de-
tract from the popularity OF General
Miles with the veterans OF the war OF the
rebellion. Before General Miles retire

OF money without producing much in the

The incident between the Silver Spray
and the Petrol on Lake Erie may prove
serious. II cannot be assumed without in
vestigation that the Canadian revenue
cutter had no Justification for its attack !
In fact. Captain Chau, OF the Silver
Spray. admits he was over the boundary
In Canadian waters but AYERS he was
only looking for his nets that had drifted. |
But In any case the attack appears to
have been unduly vicious and. according
