SEC. ROOTS RETIREMENT
Is Uncertain, but When Settled, Gen.
Oliver Will Succeed Him.

Washington, July 14.-It seems to be a
general understanding among officials OF
the war department who ought to know
that the name of Robert Shaw Oliver,
who has just been appointed assistant
secretary of war will be favorably con-
sidered for secretary Of, war when Secre-
tary Root retircS from the cabinet.
1t has been known for some time that
on the completion of certain important
matters which Secretary Root has in hand
he intends to return to New York to re-
sumo the practice of law. Just when this
might happen has been and is still very
indefinite.
Secretary Root will sail for England the
last of August to take his place as chair
man of the American commission in the
Alaskan boundary case. 1t is expected
that he will continue as secretary of war
during the time he is abroad. In case the
affairs which have been under his especial
charge and in which he is very much in
trrested are still unsettled when he re-
turns to this country it is expected that
he will continue as secretary of war.
There are other considerations which
may prolong his stay as a member of the
cabinet until after the next session of
Congress adjourns. Tho fact that he is
&imiliar with everything pertaining to
Philippine affairs, with the aaministra-
ton in Cuba and with the management
of all military matters since the Spanish
war, all of which subjects may he con-
Sidcred by the next Congress- may cause
him to continue until then in his present
position.

Grace e., the little 2-year-old daugh-
ter of c. A. Grondin, was seriously in
iured, Tuesday, by being run over by
the meat cart of Daniel Bowman. The
little girl managed to get out of the
house into the street without being
noticed by her mother, and was not
seen ut all by Mr.. Bowman until after
the wheels had gone over both her an
kles. The horse acted rather queerly,
evidently attempting 70 avoid the child
After the accident Mr.. Bowman did all
he could to assist.
DR.. L. w. Boyer was summoned, but
it could not be determined at the time
how serious the injuries might prove
1t was feared, however, that the ankle
WIS fractured. The heavy cart was load
sd with something like 500 pounds OF
meat at the time, 80 it is a wonder that
the limbs were not crushed.
