Gen. Greedy Will Probably With

FROM THE CITY OF San FRANCISCO
VAR DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
Believe THERE Is NO NEED
FOR SOLDIERS.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May s.-The
war department authorities believe that
the service has about completed its
work in San Francisco and desires that
General Greeley shall withdraw the
troops from active participation in the
work of relief and restoration as rapid
ly as possible This policy is not en-
couraged for any reason which comes
from a feeling that San Francisco has
had al 1.-The help it needs or deserves,
but it is realized that there will be
with every days activity, the menace
of conflict of authority between the
municipal officials and the officers of
the army. There have been a number
Of such conflicts and it is feared that
the situation would soon become very
difficult. 1t is desired to avoid this.
if possible, and the attitude in Wash
ington is one which realizes that
from now on the army must take a
subordinate position.
Service observers in Washington.
moreover, feel that the army has been
measurably elevated in the respect and
confidence of the people and that
nothing should now be done to imperil
the good will or lessen in any de-
gree the gratitude which is expressed
on every hand for the magnificent work
performed by the army in the time of
disaster and panic in San Francisco.
There is feeling that General Greeley
would naturally desire to continue in
control of the situation, but it is felt
that the responsibility for whatever
is done hereafter should rest. with the
citizens or their special committee
and the local police courts, with the
employment of the army only to such
an extent as is absolutely necessary.
1t is realized in Washington that the
soldiers must continue to act as
guards in the night time in some
places, but it is believed that the cit
liens have the situation we'll in hand
and should be allowed to conduct the
work of restoration without the en-
ployment of the army.
No one in the war department has
much of an idea of what has been ex-
pended out of military supplies on ac-
count of San Francisco 1t is esti-
mated that the rations issued amount
ed to 100000. The quartermaster sup
plies, such as tents, stoves, ETC., which
cannot be used again, will represent
a loss of that material to the army.
and it is roughly estimated that the
amount involved will not be much less
than 100000 There is some en-
barrassment to the service by reason
of the issue of all the tents in stock.
If another calamity were to come the
war department would De pOWerleSS to
render much help in the way of tenn
porary shelter There are no surplus
tents, and it will take some time to
restock the depots with these articles,
as the supply of duck is scarce The tents
cannot be used again for the reason
that they will be too badly injured, or
destroyed by their present use.

GOVERNMENT IS MUCH INTERESTED
REQUIREMENTS OF 'POSTOFFIcE
DEPARTMENT BRING MANY
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS.

WASHINGTON. May s.-The sub
ject Of good roads as affecting the rural
delivery service has been revived by
the suggestion that the postoffice de-
partment, In view Of it's interests in
the maintenance of good roads Incl
dent to efficient rural delivery service,
take steps looking to some action by
the government for the improvement of
public roads. In this connection 1t
should not be overlooked that since
the year 1894 the congress has made
appropriations to enable the secretary
Of agriculture to make inquiries in re-
gard to the systems Of road manage
ment throughout the United States, to
furnish expert advice on road build
ing, and to make investigations in re-
gard to the best methods Of road maxi
ing and the best kind ofsroad making
materials In the several states; and for
preparing, publishing and distributing
bulletins and reports Of such work.
The maintenance of good roads I'M
obstructed by gates, with no unabridged
creeks or streams not fordable at all
ordinary seasons of the year, is a con-
dition precedent to the establishment
and continuance of rural delivery SER
vice. When a rural agent or a post
master reports that the roads traversed
by rural carriers are impossible, or in
bad condition, the matter is taken up
by the department. through the post
master, with the local road authorities
and due notice is given that unless the
condition of the roads is improved it
will be necessary to take steps looking
to the withdrawal of the service In
that vicinity.
This policy has resulted in the ex-
penditure Of thousands Of dollars
throughout the country in the con-
struction of bridges and the i'm
provement of highways. The mainte-
nance Of good roads as required by the
postoff1ce department does not necessa-
rily involve any radical change in the
system of roads in a given locality, but
does call for system of grading that
will keep the roads smooth and proper
ly drained. The Importance of syste-
matte effort with a view to keeping the
roads in good condition is illustrated
by the experience of the department
during the past six weeks, when it has
been necessary to suspend service in
some localities, the condition of the
roads being such as to make it impos-
sible for the carriers to traverse their
routes.
This naturally results in complaint,
which frequently comes from people
who are themselves responsible for the
condition Of the roads. While in some
respects the past season has been an
unusual one, in that the weather con-
ditions have been such as to make
the roads unusually muddy, still, if the
system of working the roads was con-
Quoted along more intelligent lines, it
is believed the existence of the condi-
tons referred to would not be possible.
1t is necessary to repeatedly call to
the attention Of road authorities in

important subject, so far as rural de-
livery service is concerned, is disclosed
by the inspection of the service now

result of the efforts of the department
during the coming summer will be such
