GRANT FELT SIGHTED.

at New York.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The war
department is keeping exceedingly
mum as to its reason for revOking the
order assigning General Funston to
command the department of the East.
and assigning him instead to Chicago.
while General Fred Grant gets that
desirable post at New York. 1t is
thought by those in touch with the war
department that Grant. as the senior
officer. complained about the order as
signing Funston to the best army post
in the country and as FunstOn's super
ior demanded that assignment for him.

desirable station but not as desira BILE
as he would have had at New York
Stories have been printed in the
New York papers saying Grant had
been ordered to New York because of
his influence with New York polite
lans. These stories represented that
the administration wanted his aid in
carrying New York for the republican
ticket and thought he could render val
liable sercica from his headouarters at
Governors island.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Sin forceful
but diplomatic language the state de-

that it cannot assent to the general
proposition made by Russia that coal
is contraband. This announcement is
made in Il circular note from Secre-
tary Hay to the American ambassa-
dors in Europe dated July 10th and
made public this morning. Hills In
ternational Law is quoted to show that
during the West African conference in
1884 Russia took occasion to dissent
vigorously from the including of coal
among the articles of contraband of
war Secretary Hay further says that
it is understood that it is Russia's in

Such a policy he asserts would imply
that every article Of human use might

fear that it might ultimately become
useful to a belIigerent for military
purposes.
