Question of Beer Deliveries al

eral Office. =
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May 27.-General Chat
fee, chief Of staff, is considering the
question sent to Washington by the
commanding officer at Fort Smelling, in
regard to the delivery Of beer, by city
Dealers to enlisted men on the military
kreservation. There is no<question that
the sale of beer is prohibited at army
posts and on board army transports. It
is probable that the commanding Of
fcer at Fort Smelling will be informed
''that deliveries Of beer to commits
stoned officers for their own use and for
use of their families may continue, but
that deliveries to enlisted men shall
only be made with the express consent
Of the commanding officer, who. will be
held. responsible that the requirements
Of the anticanteen law will not be
evaded, that is, that "a practice shall
not be permitted to grow up which, in
guise of deliveries, permits the introduce
ton of Intoxicating liquors into bar
racks and quarters of enlisted men in
such a way, as to !eyade the require
ments of the act. - o.. s.~ .<&'7 !
! 1t, is likely, also, that the command
ing officer will be cautioned not to in
terfere with traffic upon the right of
way, across the reservation at Fort
Smelling, which was granted by congress
Jan. 20, 1878, and which furnishes its
only access to market to a considerable
population south and southwest of the
reservation.

Washington, May 27.-Lloyd Girls
com. the American minister to Japan,
is to be recalled and appointed assist
ant secretary of state. The transfer
will not take place until fall, when a
number of diplomatic changes will oc-
cur. Mr. Griscom will succeed Francis
B. Loomis, who is to be given an ap-
pointment as ambassador, not to Mex
leo, as has been anticipated, but prob
ably to Brazil. Mr.. Thompson, minis
ter at Rio de Janeiro, will be trans
ferred to Mexico in succession of Am
bassador Conger, who will retire in. Sep
TENDER or October.
In bringing Griscom to Washington,
President Roosevelt is actuated by a
an official who is congenial to Secretary
Hay and who thoroly understands the
far eastern situation.
Griscom has done splendid work in
Japan, far better than was expected, in
view Of his youth and his inexperience
in Oriental affairs. 1t is no secret that
when he first arrived in Toxic the
Japanese were stonished that the
American government had not sent an
older diplomat, but the Japanese gov
eminent has let it be known that it re-
erets Griscom 8 DEPARTURE, but it has
not made nor will it make any effort
to retain him. That is the province
of the president of the United States
But Japan feels it will be particularly
unfortunate if the American minister
who has proved SO PECULIARLY accepta
bic should be withdrawn in such crit
ical moment.
+ By leaving Toxic Griscom suffers E
pecuniary loss, as his salary will be
more than cut in half.
