MEDICAL DimEcTOR WALES SENTENCED.— Secretary Whitney has indorsed the findings of the naval court-martial which tried Medical Director Wales, who was charged with culpable inefficiency in ihe performance of his duty and neglect of duty whlie acting as surgeon general ofthe navy. Whe court found Dr, Wales guilty ofboth charges and sentenced him to be sus- nded from rank and duty for five years on rough pay and tor tain his present number in his grade during that period. In approving the sentence the Secretary of the Navy says: “There 1s no evidence which tends to cast any Faflection upon his personal honesty,” but adds: “It is equally proper to remark that the charge offeulpable Inefficleney in the performance of duty’ and ‘neglect of duty’ are fully sustalned by the evidence.” King MAuieroa’s GIFTS TO THE PRESI- DENt.—Dr. Theodore Canisius, late United States consul to the Samoan Islands, who has arrived at San Francisco, is the bearer of a let- ter from King Malletou, ot the Samoan Islands, to President Cleveland, in which he congratu: lates the President on his “appointment to rule grey, all American people.” ‘The King sends the President gifts of mats and other native pro- ductions. Goop FEELING BETWEEN FRENCH AND AMER- ICANs.—Rear Admiral Franklin, commanding the European squadron, reports to the Navy department, under date of Cherbourg, France, that the French authorities have been very much impressed with the attentions paid to the representatives of France at the time of the reception of the Bartholdi statue in New York, and they have done all in their power to show to him and the officers and men under his com- mand, how much they appreciated this _kind- ness on the part of the people of the United States. On the other hund Admiral Franklin States that he has doue all he could to foster these sentiments, and issure that the presence of the Pensacola and Kearsarge in aFrench port has done much towards cementing the good feeling which already existed between the two ‘s. Admiral Franklin expected to sail Witn the Pensagola and Kearsarge for Copen- hagan the 19th qfJuly. The Quinnebaug was expected to arrive at Beirut, July 29th, Gen.

Personal Characteristics of the Great General—Some Interesting Reminis- eences. Knowing the warm friendship and intimate Personal relations existing between General Grant and Col. Markland, of this city, from the UUme they were boys together at the same school until the death of the former, @ representativ of THE STAR who met Col. M. with others at the residence of a mutual friend the other evening, took advantage of the opportunity to ask him for some light upon a point about which doubts were entertained. After the desired informa- tion had been furnished the conversation which followed between those present became rather general in its character, but still with General Grant as the central figure, and during its course Col. Markland related many interesting incidents which came under his observation, and described several of the dead hero's per- sonal charaoteristics—some of which have not before been made pablic. The conversation never assumed the form of an interview, but notes on some of the points were taken, and if the precise language is not presented at all tmes, nor the ortler of sequence preserved, care has been taken togive the exact substance in each case, AS A SCHOOLBOY. He was my school mate and play fellow in boyhood days, sald Col. Markland. At school he was a quiet, studious boy, rarely on the play-ground during recess, but then engaged in study. He was exceedingly kid in prompting those of his classmates who were a little negli- gent and behind in their recitations, He was very popular as a schoolboy, being even- tempered, gentle and generous. He wasa mem- ber of the Philomathean soclety, to which I be- longed, and he was a good debater at that time for one of his age, As an executive officer of that society, he displayed many of the traits which were'prominentin him in after life. GENERAL GRANT'S CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS: It was not in General Grant’s nature to give Personal offense by word or act, unless he felt that his kind feelings and good name had been willingly tritled with, and then he did not hesi- tate to resent such trifling in a firm and unmis- takeable way, He was never bolsterous in words, but very decided in word and act, ‘The governing, overshadowing tralt of his character was kindness for others. ‘or his bit- terest personal enemy he would try to make some excuse. When excuses were not gratified he severed friendly relations promptly and as quietly as the circumstances would adinit. He was very slow to. believe that any one would take adVantage of bis confidence or do him @ wrong. 6 At Cairo, In 1861, It was reported to General Grant that a young officer, who was stationed at Fort Holt, across the Ohio river, in Ken- tucky, had been culpably derelict inthe dis- charge of some delicate duty. The General was much angered, and_ directed Colonel Webster to bring the officer to him in trons. Capt. Rawlins, the adjutant, sald “What ts the use of General’Grant giving Webster such an order as that? If Webster brings that man here in irons, Grant will reprimand Webster and recommend the officer for promotion.” When Col. Webster went to Fort Holt and dis- covered that the officer had been misrepre- sented to General Grant, he simply asked the officer to return with him to the General's quar- ters and make his statement of the cage. When the officer came into the presence, of General Graut he was received with much kindness, and when be had told his story the Gener apologized for having caused bis arrest and iuortification, Not long after that the General did recommend his promotion, as Rawlins had. predicted, and he found in him a valuable offi- cer during the war, HIS REGARD Fok SUBORDINATES, The General's sympathies were always with the private soldier and that class of officers who had not received a military educatios and training. At Fort Donelson, after the surgen- der, a complaint was made to him that an offi- ger was not diligent in enforcing discipline. ‘The General replied: “He inspired them to fight atthe right time and in the right way; that is the Kind of discipline we want.” ed At the same time a German officer who com- manded a battery of fine new guns came and reported to the General that his battery had been captured. The General asked him If he spiked the guns before they were captured. The officer astounded tne General by exclaiming: “What! Spike those good guns?_My God! No.” The General smiled and suid: “Tum satisfied that the captain fought his guns to the last, and would have taken care of them as public ‘prop- erty, if for no other reason.” HIS MAGNANDUTY, On the day of the surrender of Donelson a, newspaper reporter called at the quarters o General Grant and introduced himself, giving the name of the paper he represented. General Granfsaid to him: “Yes; I don't think your paper has ever said a kind word of me, and has hever failed to abuse me; but that makes no difference. I will have to be abused a good deal before they find out what kind of «man I am, My confidence is in the soldiers and not in the néwsrapers. We will have~something to eat uiler awhile; stay and get dinner with us,” * When President Grant was about to appoint a prominent gentleman tothe position of Com- missioner of the District of Columbia, his at- tention was called to the fact that the ; entle- man in question nad slighted hita wnen in bis poverty and want of employment, and had as sailed his private character in the darkest pe- riod of his com: nd during the war. General Grant replied: “He was mistaken then, and he knows lis mistake now. He has qualities that fit him for the place, and I am going to'ay point bim;” and he did eppuint hing ne °° HIS IDEA OF WAR. When I first met General Grant at Cairo I had gone outfrom this city, and he was much interested in knowing the feeling here asto a Nigorous prosecution of the war or a hope of some kind of a compromise. He said: “I see by the papers that General McClellan is having big reviews and that sort of thing. I think that is amistake, A compromise at this stage is im- possible. It will have to be fought out, and 1 intend to make it as hot as I'can, go that it won't last long.” TUS PERSONAL COURAGE, General Grant was absolutely fearless, He had a boundless faith in his judgment and luck. He and his staif viewed the naval fight at Fort Henry from the decks of a small tug boat, which was more nearly in the of the guns of the fort than were the irondlads and Sunbowts, Gewl Tiighinan told me after ‘the Surrender thatif he had known that General Grant was on that tug during the fight he would have blown it out of water, and deprived the Yankees of one of the best men they had. ate ‘The soldiers of the south who had been in the Mexican war knew Grant's value as a fighter. When be left Corinth for Grand Junetion and Jackson he went on a platform ear, wholly un- protected, and passed through a seciion of coun. try infested by guerrillas, We The non-combatants who visited bis head- quarters, and who were proud to ride around thelines with him, will remember that they never wanted to go with him but once.

The presenta- tion of a leather medal to the staff officers of general whose headquarters were near those of General Grant was thought of. It was not desired that General Grant should know of this proposed merriment, and it was therefore not commenced until he’ was supposed to be asleep. The presentation speech was made b; General Horace Porter in an impressive an effective manner. That speech gave evidence that Porter in @ high degree the qualities of a postprandial speaker, since 80 admirably develo Other really Speeches were made, and when the ceremonies Were ended and the’ festive participants had returned to quarters they congratulated them- selves that they had had a good time and that the General had not been disturbed. At break- fast next morning, however, General Grant startled his military family ‘at table with the question: “Why did you not ask me tothe pre- sentation lust night?” Continuing, he said: “I might have made a good speech.” He had been disturbed by what was going on, and had gone out himself to ascertain the cause, and is ob food nat itened to the speeches un HIS NEVER-FAILING AFFABILITY. Nearly all General Grant's staff officers were youngerin years than himself, and his rele- tions to them were as a father tosons. When in camp, if the staff officers were not out about the adjutant general's office, which was the usual rendezvous, the General would look around for them, or visit their tents, to sa} morning or @ pleasant word to them. He Was most careful to never slight any one in po- Lite attention about his headquarters. HIS RESISTANCE TO POLITICAL PRESSURE. ‘When General Grant was ordered east to take command of the armies, he said to me: “I will want you with me there, Isaid: “Possibly the department will expect me to remain in the west.” He replied: “I will arrange that. I under stand the business better than the depart- ment.” I bad not been over here very long when Post- master General Blair said to me that there was & great pressure to have me go to the western army again, and anew man appointed for op- erations iu the east. le asked me to see Gene- ralGranton the subject and know what his wishes were. Accord{ngly, when I returned to headquarters I reterred to the subject. General Grant sald: “Yes, that matter has been mentioned to me by a Congressman, who has a friend he wants around here. I was just going to write a letter to the tmaster General not to make any change, telling bim that if he did make the a) polntment, ag requested, the new man should hot come to my headquarters.” LOOKING AFTER HIS Boys, General Grant was specially thoughtful about his staff before he left the army to enter the Presidentia: office. In December, 1868, I was invited by him to go in his special car to Chi- cago to the grand reunion of all the armies, Shortly after leaving Baltimore he sat down beside me and entered into conversation about the future of those who had been personally identified with him during the war. He told me the various offices he had thought of for such of the gentlemen as were or would be out of the any. at the time of his tnau; fag and then asked me if there was any office Ib thought I would like to have, I answered him that had not, because I was doing as well, 1f not better, in the busiuess I was then engaged in than I would In any office he would be justi- fled in giving me. He mentioned three or four ition he had thought of tendering me. I told im that I could iiod aegelnd enter upon the duties of any office before a specified time, cause of the business arrangements I was then bound by. Nothing more was said to me on thesubject. Atthe time the business engage- ments of which I had spoken closed, he, with- out any intimation to me whatever, sentmy name to the Senate for confirmation toan office he had not before alludéd to, and gave as a rea- son for it that that office required a disburse. ment of thirty million dollars a year, and that he wanted an officer in it, who would see that it was properly disbursed. ‘The compliment was more valuable than the office. HIS UNSWERVING BUSINESS INTEGRITY. While General Grant was last in Washington Ireceived a letter from a friend who had some surplus money which he proposed to invest in timber lands along a proposed line of railway in Mexico, of which General Grant was Presi- dent. Heasked me to see the General on the subject, and if the General made a favorable re- port or expressed a favorable opinion of the in- vestment he would go to the office in New York and make arrangements to invest. When I called with the letter the General and Mrs, Grant were out driving. I sat down and wrote anote to the General, stating who my corre- Spondent was, and the desire I had that he should have accurate information, also inclosing: the letter of my friend. I havé here in my. Pocket, I think, his letter in reply, and it has more of the true character of General Grantin it for truth, integrity and fatr dealing than you will easily ‘dud “elsewhere, He never inien- tionally ‘misled any man, unless it was his military adversaries. and when he captured one Of these he treated him with unbounded mag- nanlmity. , Yes, here is the letter, au autograpl all through, and a perfect photograph of the character of the man: eee “THE ARLINGTON, April 8th, 84. “Dear Colonel: “Tam sorry I was out when you called. I return Mr. — letter. Of course if he should call I would see him. But I goto New York on Saturday, where it would be more convenient probably for him, It is well to say, however, that the Mexican road with which my name is connected is not commenced, nor ts it likely to be soon. I have never been over that portion of the road along which abundance of valu- able cabinet and dye woods are said to exist. ‘The in- formauion I could give, therefore, would not justity visit to (hat country for the purpose of locating tim- ber lands, much less investing in them. “Very truly yours, Sela eee U. 8. Guawr. Less than one’ month after this letter was written General Grant was financially ruined by the failure of the bank. His heart was broken, and he made rapid steps to the grave because of the treachery ofone to whom he had given his confidence. UNDER THE SHADOWS. ‘When I, in company with my wife, was at the general's home, in the latter part of October last, he tried to be cheerful and talk of the days of auld lang syne, but I could see that it was an effort, and that the fire of his life was dying out. I will never forget the expression of his countenance as I caught it or the sorrowful tones of his voice asI heard it.

These doorways were quite elaborately made when it was intended to have @ temple at the base of the monument. Now, however, the structure is tobe mude as muck like an ol as possible.

Special Cable Dispatch to Tae Evextxe Stan. Loxpon, August 1.—There isa distinct and | almost unprecedented upheaval in all parts of | the political world here. The situation may be almost described as volcanic. The open split | in the conservative ranks is due to a combina- tion against Lord Randolph Churchill, whose speech against Earl Spencer and supporting Parnell gave great offense and caused alarm | throughout the country. Ilearn of the follow- | ing occurrence in the house of commons when Churchill proposed his visit to Liverpool: He met Whitley, a member for Liverpool, in the | lobby, and said: “What train do we take?” | Whitley replied: “I am not going.” “Why not?” “Because I disapprove of your Irish | policy.” “I don't care a rap what you think of my policy,” retorted Churchill, “but I am not going to Liverpool unless you both support me.” Tory opinion is divided. The younger and more progressive members fuel they can accomplish nothing by the policy of Churchill's opponents, The older and more cautious see certain danger, and possibly the disruption of the party, as @ result of Churchill's reckless- ness, The Standard received a hint trom high quarters to attack Churchill. It prints this morning many letters of approval. Churchill ‘has weathered similar attacks, but notso strong and united @ one asthe present. I believe the breach will be healed, and that Churchill will speak at Liverpool later, Thave taken pains to learn from politicians their diverse views of the nature of the situa- Uon, so that I can state the following with some confidence. The situation is tending toward She evolution of a definite radical party. The whigs are thoroughly alarmed, both for thelr rineiples and themselves, and & combination ‘tween them and tho ‘respectable tories is quite possible. This may be hastened by the strong action the radicals will take everywhere soon. The signs of this are the remarkable Itb- eral tone of the Standard lately, attack on the Parnellites, Chamberlain's in- creasing boldness and the general uneasiness at the prospect of the enormous Irish vote in the next parliament. The liberals are calling fora platform from. their leaders and saying everywhere that the ery of the “Old man, old cause and the old um- brella” is not good enough; that mere phrases lke “Dealing with the laud laws" are useless and they must face the electors with definite berfain, with his stat eagacits iy proeasiee iain, Is usual Ly, is prey ing to satisty these desires froma radical standpsint and rise on this wave. - THE PARNELLITES, Giving Their Attention Just Now to Organizing the Irish Vote In Eng- land. ‘Special Cable Dispatch to Tae EVENING STAR, Lonpon, August 1.—The Irish vote in the next election will be like the same vote tn the city of New York in the last presidential elec- tion, an uncertain quantity, Last night I had @ long talk P.
