Washington, Sept.

Moody has ever been ready to follow any sugges- tion made by the chief executive as to the management of the navy.
 His health has not been good since the serious fall he had when thrown from a carriage at Annapolis several months ago, and this will be given as the reason for his retirement from the cabinet. Friends of Lieut.. Peary say that the opposition of the secretary to the Arctic expedition was uncompro- missing, and that he came into open conflict with MT Darling, the assistant Spcrntarv
