WOU[DPROTECT SOLDIERS
Gen. Grant Wants Federal
Courts to Pass on Ger
tain 0ffenseS.

1t is strongly recommended by Gen.
Grant, commanding the Department Of
the East, that Congress be urged 10 pass
a law protecting the officers and enlisted
men of the army from actions civil or
criminal which may be instituted in state
courts against them for acts done or
omitted in the performance Of their Of
fetal duties. by permitting the removal
of such cases to the federal courts, as
is now done with revenue officers.
An addition to the school building for
bakers and cooks, at Washington bar
racks, this city, is also earnestly recon-
mended by Gen. Grant. This addition, he
says should provide for a lecture room.
additional squad room, dining room and
kitchen, new bathroom and toilet. which
| would practically double the capacity
of the school. The estimate for such an
addition is $4,000.
There is a rifle range at Fort Washing
ton Md, in the artillery district of the
Potomac but Gen. Grant says it is not
in good condition, the troops from that
post usually using the range in the ar
tillery district of Chesapeake bay at Fort
Monroe, Va.
In the Department of the East there
| has been little malaria, except at Fort
Washington. Md, which post. Gen. Grant
saws still maintains its unenviable repu-
| alton in this direction" All these refer
ences to local posts are contained in the
annual report of Gen. Grant made public
yesterday.

.M'E[ROY ABANDONS RACE.
Not Likely to Be Candidate
Next Year for G. A. r.
Commander.

It is unlikely that Col. John McE1roy of
this city, editor of the National Tribune,
whose withdrawal from the race for COM
mander in chief Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic made possible the unani-
nous election of Judge Harvey NJ. Trim>
Bile of Illinois. will be candidate for the
to Washington Friday from the encamp-
ment. not being on the train wrecked
at Manchester.
Col. McElroy is averse to playing the
petty politics he claims are necessary
to- candidacy for such an office. and said
yesterday he is not in the field for the
position next year. Judge Trimble will
have his heartiest support in the admins
tration of his duties. Col. McElroy said.
An Illinois Volunteer.
Judge Trimble, who Is not very we'll
known in local Grand Army circles, en-
listed in the Odd Illinois Volunteers at
the outbreak of the war, when he was
but a young man. He participated in all
the engagements of his company. and
rose to the rank of captain. He was a
native of Princeton, Bureau county, 1lli-
nois, and at the close of the war studied
law and was elected probate judge. He
served in this capacity for fifteen years
and then was elected judge of the court
of common pleas, on which bench he sat
for six years. He was commander Of
the Department Of Illinois. Grand Army
of the Republic, for one term, in 1892.
Col McElroy will speak at the dedica-
ton of the monument to the late Secre-
tary Stanton. at Steubenville. Ohio. the
