From Washington we learn that some de-
finite action will soon be taken in regard to the
frial of MI. Davis, now that the parties I'M

for treason, the proceedings, we are told, will,
of course, take place before civil tribunal. 1t
is added, however that from present lndica-
tons, it is more than probable he will be tried
before military Court as the leader or insti
gator of the conspiracy. "@ @.&
