The next regular retirement in the army will be that of Maj. George F. Robinson, who enjoys the unique distinction of hav- ing been promoted from the grade of nurse in the army to the grade of major in the pay department. His record also won for him from Congress a gold medal for es- pecially meritorious services. He will re- tire on the 1th instant on account of age. Major Robinsen {s a native of Maine and entered the army in the humble capacity of @ nurse. When Secretary Seward was thrown from his carriage and confined to fis quarters in the old house in which Mr. Blaine died, Robinson was assigned to nurse him. He ‘was present with Seward the evening Lincoln was assassinated and an attempt was made by Payne to kill the Sec- retary of State. Robinson grappled with Payne and prevented him from doing Sew- ard serious harm. For his conduct he was presented by Congress with a gold medal, and I: when Hayes became President. he Robinson a major in the pay corps of the army. -e- Injuries to the Maine. ‘The docking of the United States steamer Maine at Norfolk has revealed the extent of the injuries sustained by the ship in touching a coral bank while coaling in Florida waters. Several of the bottom plates Were found to be pressed in, but none of the frames were injured, and, as it would con- sume some tim. to make repairs, which are not necessary at present, the ship will be taken out of dock at once and sent to join Admiral Bunce’s squadron off Sandy Hook. —— Cash Payment to Indians. ‘The commissioner of Indian affairs has instructed Captain Beck, agent of the Omaha and Winnebago Indians in Ne- breska, to make a cash payment of $10 per capita to the Indians in lieu of the usual issue of annuity goods.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your leader of last evening you call attention to the fact that Senator Faulk- ner, chairman of the democratic congres- sional committee, proclaims the danger ahead to be that the present campaign may develop into a contest between the poor and the rich, between the masses and the classes, between laber and capital. Sen- ator Faulkner goes cn to deplore any suca contest, any such degradation of the cam- paign. When I was a student in rhetoric I learn- ed that there is a figure of speech known as suggestion. ‘This is a figure which the cunning, clever orator cr writer can use very often to decided advantage, and seem to oppose just what is the dearest object of his heart. Suggestion was defined by the author of the text book on rhetoric as being “literally a putting of something be- fore the mind for consideration, an indirect or guarded mode of presenting argument or advice. Suggesticn is ordinarily intend- ed to furnish some practical assistance or direction.” As an illustration of suggestion and its effect in furnishing practical assistance and advice the case of the Irish patriot who was arrested by the police in the streets of Dublin and was being hauled by them to prison 1s in point. Great crowds of this patriot’s friends and sympathizers had gathered and almost blocked the street. life of Gen. 130 1 street But there was no rict, no sign of any op- Position to the government. The patriot, very anxious, of course, fcr the good or- der of the city, for the good conduct of his friends, used this figure of speech, sugges- tion. He cried out at the top of his voice: “Why, boys, you wouldn't throw stones at the police, would you?” And immediately the air was full of cob- blestones, quiet forsook the crowd, and it was a howling mob. A riot had been stirred up by a few words of good advice—advice to keep the peace. I wonder whether Sen- ator Faulkner ever studied rhetoric, ever heard of the figure suggestion, could have had in his thought anything akin to that of the Irish patriot, could have desired that his suggestion might aid in bringing about what he so greatly deplores? Would he like to see the laboring classes all on his side, wherever the moneyed men array themselves? Carlyle wrote once, “The pop- tert of Great Britain is 40,000,000, most! ly fools.” It is to be hoped that our population Not 70,000,000, mostly fools. ® PP. ——.—__ Suicide of a Murderer.

Lopis. .. Boston, Standing Auzust 6, 1895 W. L. F Sullivan's Pitching Was Better Than Mercer's. The alleged statesmen had an excellent opportunity to climb back into ninch place yesterday, for New York was being beaten by Baltimore while they were battlin; with Boston. But they are accepting few chances these days, and so they gallanuy iectined to take advantage of the downfall of Joyce's new companions. They lost to Boston by the close but wholly sufficient secre of 5 to 4. = The story of the games might be pep- pered with “ifs.” The places where Wash- ington might have won had somebody done something or failed to do something else are far more numerous than the Senato: fal runs. The game was preceded by a sharp shower of rain that left the field in a bad condition. Mercer went into the box for Washington and Sullivan for Bosto: The latter did the better work, but it ¥ Mercer's misfortune to let Boston bunch four hits along with a base on balls in the first inning, and this gave the enemy a leac that was never overcome. Boston went to bat first. Hamilton started the business walking down on balls and Tenrey bunted toward first and was saf. sacrificed the men along a_ bas each and Hamilton was run down at the plate whea Farrell made a great stop of Lerg’s grounder. With two out Tucker, Bergen and Bannon each hit safely and three runs were'scored. Then Collins hit to O'Brien and forced Bannon. In the last half of the first Lush started off with a two-bagger to right, and after going to third on De Montreville’s sacri- fice, Scored on Selbach’s long fly to Ham- ton, No runs were scored until the sixth in- ning, when each side tallied once. For Bos- ton Bergen drove a homer over the left- field fence. For Washington, Mercer was out when Lush got a base on ballS and De- Montreville fligd out to Tenney. Selbach then dropped @ safe’ one over Long's head McGuire lined out a‘ safe hit to center a Lush scored. Farrell's ‘brisk grounder was taken by Long ard McGuire was fore Boston increased the lead in the seventh. Hamilton put out a two-begger to right center. Tenney flied to’ Selbach, who then muffed Duffy's liner. Hamilton scored on Long’s bounder to Mercer, who could not field successfully to’the plaie, and therefore threw his man out at first. Washington madé a Garrison finish in the ninth, but lost"by ‘a nose. Ed. Cart- wright alone stood between victory and di feat, but he could not make his hit. Sel bach and McGuire weré out, when Farrell lined out a single to éenter, and he and O'Brien scored ‘whefi the latter lifted a ball over the right field fence. Abbey went along on balls and Cartwright might have ted the score by making a go0d long hit. He only succeeded in“ forcing Abbey at second, ts DeMontrevite madé a great play in the fifth Inning, when he pullta-down a bound- er clean over second from Tucker's bat. In the third the same Beangater pounded a viclous one that had good intentions for safe right field, but Cartwright: pulled it down with one hand and threw Long out at. second. 7 7?

Joyce by the Washington management has proved very unpopular among the capital city enthusiasts. The usual way of counter- acting such an affect is to make an offer for some player who cannot be bought. The offer of Manager Schmelz of Wash- ington of $5,000 for McGraw, the great Oriole third baseman, is deemed by many as one of these counteracting moves. The funny part is that even before the offer was made in Washington on Monday after- noon the rumor kad spread both in Wash- ington and Baltimore that McGraw had be en sold for $10,G00. Manager Hanlon said yesterday: “At first I rather preferred that nothing be said of the offer to buy McGraw be- cause I felt the offer had only been made for effect. But so many people, who, it seems to me, ought to know how foolish such a story was, have come to me asking whether I had sold McGraw that I take this occasion to say not only that I have not sold Me ‘aw, but shall not sell him. “When Mr. Schmelz offered me $5,000 for MeGraw’s release I simply remarked, ‘Why do you offer $20,000 for him or try to buy Jennings? I would not even think of making the deal and it would sound larger. When I let men like McGraw loose it will be when I am leaving the base ball busi- ness myself.” Manager Hanlon is in base ball to win. This is one reason of his success. Had Washington held on to its great players like Meekin, Farrell, Joyes Esper and many others instead of selling them the team would doubt! have stood well in the league race today WARRIORS AND COLTS. The Light Infantry Boys Did Up the Treasury Nine. The Light Infaniry team had no trouble in defeating “Pop” Kellar’s Treasury colts yesterday at National Park by a score of 14 to 6, the result being mainly due to the in- ability of the cashiers to hit Burns safely at critical times. Clifford occupied the box for the Treasury boys, but the soldiers managed to hit him twelve times, sever runs in the fourth and five more in the sixth clinching the game beyond the shadow of a doubt. The game was featureless, Routh and Ogle for the soldier boys and Bolway and Nichols for the cashiers playing the best fall. The playing of both teams was rather loose at times, although only two errors are ed to the Infantry. The score: ff RY. HOLA. 0 0) Bolw Bena wneH Totals....14 13 Light Infante cUSUry.

Commissioners’ Boys and Fort Myer Lads, The District Commissioners’ Gfice and the team from Fort Myer will try conclu- sions at National Park today, and although the outcome of the game is not in doubt, still it Is expected that the troopers will make a better showing than has char- acterized their former style of playing. The game will be called at 4:30, and la- dies will be admitted free. Notes, McJames pitches today. What has become of Norton? Farrell has struck his third-base gait. Abbey relieved Tom Brown in center yes- terday. Rogers continues to put up a perfect short for Louisville, although he does not bat heavily. O’Brien is developing into the Senatorial home-run hitter. He may succeed Joyce in this respect. : Cartwright has not batted in a run at a critical juncture for so many weeks that people have begun to believe he has lost his eye completely. Counting from that tie in Brooklyn Wash- ington has now lost five straight games, three by close scores and two by shut-outs. The Swimming Tournament Today. The swimming tournament at the bathing beach will be held this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and if the weather continues to be as warm as It has been the sport will be fine for the contestants, though it is likely to have some effect upon the attendance of the spectators. The main race of the day will be the 100-yard swim for all ages, and considerable speculation grows out of the outcome. By many It is acknowledged that J. T. Taylor of Pittsburg, Pa., will come off the winner. He is an’ excellent swim- mer, and though a new man at the beach has ‘been in practice for the tournament for some days past. Yesterday afternoon he swam fifty yards, exhibition race, and cov- ered the distance in the remarkably fast time of seconds. At this rate he ought to be able to go the hundred yards in 1:10 at the most, which is but a few seconds above the record for that distance. ‘The full lict cf entries, which closed last evening with the close of the beach for the day, is as follows: Plain diving—Gustave Harrison, Soldiers’ Home, D.

The resignation of C. W. Cook, as secretary, was accepted, and the names of A. H. Wall and Rudolph Jose, the treas- urer, placed in nomination for the office. A club emblem, a large W with an arrow plercing the initial, to be attached to the Sweater, was adopted. A committee, con- sleting of Messrs. Rudolph Jose, John C. Wood and J. E. Bischoff, was appointed to select a team from the club to participate in the club team race of the Arlington ‘Wheelmen, to be held on the 22d instant.

The Grain War in the West—Cutting of Paxxenger Rates to Salt Lake City. ‘The officials of both the Southern and Sea- board Air Line Railway Companic em to be agreed on one question at least—that the injunction issued by Judge Simonton is not likely to be made permanent, and that it will be dissolved by the court after the hearing at Spartanburg, S. C., next Satur- day week. On that day Judge Simonton will hear argument on the question. Some of the ablest attorneys in the south will probably appear in the case. Messrs. King and Spald- ing of Atlanta will, it is expected, represent the Seaboard, while Col. Baxter of ville, who is counsel for a number of roads on interstate commerce matters, will prob- ably be there for the freight ociation, or may be for the Port Royal and Augusta. Col. Henderson of Atlanta will no doubt represent the Southern, and Lawton & Cun- ningham of the same city will be the coun- sel of the Georgia Southern. The Port Royal and Augusta, upon whose application the injunction was issued, will, it is assumed, argue that the injuaction ought to be made permanent. What gcound the other roads will take has not as yet been disclosed. At the present time the Seaboard has, and until the close of business Saturday next, when the cut rate will be withdrawn, will have a great advantage over the enjoined lines, and great quantities of freight are moving over that road, as the merchants and manufacturers are taking advantage of the cut. This advantage amounts to about $6 on a ton of first-class freight trom New York to points in the middle south, or more than $60 a car, which is a considera- tion which has its weight with shippers. There is a great diversity of opinion among railway men on the probable action of the court, some expressing the view that the injunction will be made permanent, and others that it will be dismissed. It is con- ceded that courts have no power to fix rate: but it is thought that Judge Simonton w rule that he has the authority to protect property in the care of his court, as the Port Roya! and Augusta is. Railroad Mail Matter. The superintendents of a number of the various divisions of the Southern Railway Company have had posted orders notifying all conductors and baggagemasters to al- low any post office inspector who shows the proper credentials to examine their rail- road tetters to see if any matter is being carried contrary to the postal laws of the United States. It is understood that the government now has a number of inspect- ors on the southern railroads, and the em- ployes of the railroads must, according to law, submit to an examination of any of their stuff which the inspectors may wish to see. The route from Baltimore to Richmond, Va., which was opened several weeks ago by the Seaboard and closed soon afterward on account of damage to the steamer Vir- ginia by running upon the rocks, was re- opened Saturday. The Virginia, which has been thoroughly repaired, carried a full cargo of freight and a good list of passe: ers, oar. P. J. McGovern, a former Louisville and Nashville railroad man, has accepted a position with the Southern Railway Com- pany and will in future have charge of the rate department of the latter, under the general freight agent, with his headquar- ters at Washington. Mr. McGovern was with the Louisville and Nashville when Traffic Manager Culp and General Freight Agent Smith of the Southern were with the Louisville and Nashville. When Mr. McGovern left the Louisville and Nashville he went to the Richmond and Danville as assistant general freight agent, and later he was general freight agent of the Geor- gia Pacific. For the past three years he has been assistant commissioner of the Southern States Freight Association, which position he resigns to accept his new po- sition with the Southern Railway Company. The Grain War in the West. The Wabash railway entered the grain war Friday by reducing the rates from Kansas City to Chicago and St. Louis to meet the competition of the Missouri Pa- cific and the Chicago lines, and has made a rate of 8 cents on flax, 7 cents on wheat and 4 cents on other grains to St. Louis. To Chicago the rates are 13, 12 and 9, re- spectively. The freight offices of the ¢ast- bound roads from Chicago are much exer- cised over the immense diversion of oats from the all-rail to the lake lines, and are anxious to have the board of managers of the Joint Traffic Association authorize a reduction in the all-rail oats rate be- tween Chicago and New York. About Passenger Rates. Western railroads have refused to make a rate of one fare for the round trip be- tween points in their territory and Louts- ville, Ky., for the national meet of the League of American Wheelmen, August 10-13, , They have also voted down the proposition to make a rate of one and one- third fares for the round trip to St. Louis on account of the meeting August 5 to 11 of the Catholic Total Abstinence League of America. The Knights of Pythias refused to hold their encampment this year at Minneapolis after all arrangements had been made be- cause westerr roads would not grant them a rate of a cent a mile, and selected Cleve- land as the meeting place, and, on a sec- cnd application by the committee of ar- rangements of the K. of P., the same roads voted down a proposition to make a rate of one fare in their territory. The reason given is that central passenger committee Unes refuse to limit the return tickets for use cn August 2), 30 and 31 only. The threatened western passenger war over rates from Chicago to Salt Lake City on the occasion of the meeting of the chiefs of the fire departments of the United States Is now regarded as certain to occur, and it is probable that the round-trip fare from eastern points to Salt Lake City will be the lowest ever known. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Company has made a rate of $30 from Chicago to Salt Lake and return, and the Chicago and Alton has given notice that it will meet the rate. An effort has been made by influen- tial members of the Western Passenger Association to persuade competing lines to ignore the cut rate made by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, and also to get the latter to withdraw the reduced tariff, but both were unsuccessful. The officers of the latter road declare that the $30 rate will not be withdrawn unless the Union Paeific withdraws what is known as its “diverse route arrangement.” The outcome will probably be that the round-trip rate from Chicago to Denver will be reduced to $25, and tnat the one-way rates will be half that of the round trip. ee Fgene Field’s Estate. An inventory of the estate of the late Eugene Field has been filed and approved in the probate court at Chicago. It shows an equity of $1,000 in the poet’s Buena Park home, $3,808 in from books, $6,508 worth-of books and: furniture and $100 in cash.
