GREELY RETRACTS, He Acknowledges the Injustice of His jomarks About Commissioner Col- man, Gen. Greely has addressed a letter to Senator Palmer in reference to the recent statement made by him before the Senate committee on agricul- ture and forestry, publi-hed in Tar @ran. He states that he 1s now satisfed that he did an un- tntentional injustice to the Commisstoner ot Agri- culture in his statement as to his personal knowl- edge of the attitude assumed by the Commissioner toward the proposed transfer of the Signal Corps wo the proposed Department of Agnculture. He says: “‘As I have sald to Mr. Colman, the story re- garding his visit to this office in February, 1887, Which was given so wide a circulation t! out the country, and which represented him as in- ‘Uriguing With one of my subordinates to effect the transfer, Was believed by me to be true, and I re. javed It to the committee as being ieece oe lic information which showed the attitude of he Commissioner by his acts rather than by bis Words, I believe now that Mr. Colman’s visit to this office was thoroughly misrepre- ‘sSepted, and that his interview with Mr. Robinson was simply a kindness shown to an intumate friend of his son, und that Lhe interview was had rather wita reference to the appointment of Rob- 1nson as 8 consul to some point in Germany, which appointment was m ide subsequently chrotgh Mr, Colman’s intervention. The circumstances and oMce rumors at that time were stich as to lead me to believe the published story true. I did not un- derstand then why Mr. Culman saw fit vo allow this story to go unrefuted; but I appreciate it now, ‘since he believed it the wisest course to allow his high reputation and well-known character to answer for him, and so he retrained from a dental in public print, rather than depart from his inva~ rial custom of leaving misrepregentations and misstatements alone.” Gen. Greely asks Senator Palmer to assure the cowmitter of his regret that he should uninten- Gonully have placel a high ofcial in a wrong light, “He adds, in justice to himself, that he had ‘no idea tbat any part of bis remarks before te comuaittee would appear in print, otherwise, he should have retrained from personalities. as’ re- garding Commissiouer Colman or the oMcers of the Signal Corps—matters concerning which he felt he was giving his honest vi ws to the commit- tee in private session, and so used personal reter- ences, District.
