CHICAGO, June IL.
A Washington special says; The adj
ministration organ here, under the head
Of what is to be done with the Mo-
docs" has some questions which have
been agitated by both legal and military
circles for some time. 1t says that per-
sons who profess to know, are predicting
that neither Captain Jack nor any of his
followers will be hanged. The Military
Commission will be organized by General
Schofeld. and will doubtless try them
promptly. but the findings of that Court
must be approved by the President, and
then comes the tug of war. The first
question to be brought before the Presi-
dent, by the adherents of the peace
policy, will be denying the legality of the
Military Commission which is to try the
culprits. The ground that General Candy
was not killed as Commander of the Army
in the Department of the Columbia, but
was killed while acting as Peace Com
missioner-having been placed at the
head of the Commission by a special
agreement between the President and
the Secretary of War. In the order an
nouncing General Canby's death, dated
April l4th, says he was killed while en-
deavoring to mediate for the removal of
the Modocs from their present rocky
fastenesses on the northern border of
California to reservation where the
tribe could be maintained and protected
by the proper civil agents Of the Govern
ment. They further declare that General
Candy was not surrounded by any troops
when he was killed, but having gone out
as Peace Commissioner, away from his
command, he met his death, and the
murderers cannot be touched by mill
tary tribunal, but only by the civil au.
thorities. As to the killing of Maj. Thomas
and those with him at later date,
tue Military Chmmission can take no
cognizance Of that offense, as state Of
war existed between our troops and the
Modocs. Should the President over
rule these objections the peace men viii
then propose to bring the whole question
before the Supreme Court of the United
States by writ of habeas corpus The
peace men claim that the language Of
the message from the War Department
announcing General Canby's death
shows conclusively that he was acting al
a Peace Commissioner; and they quot,
therefore the question which speaks o
General Candy having gone with tn,
Peace Commissioners, after which ht
seems to have accompanied them to
last conference with the savage chiefs il
n su-~oSnd f~;andlv onunnil and Their,
met his death by treachery outside O
his military lines.
New YORK, June II.
The following from official sources az
fords a clear statement of the Geneva
award business, which has been muddled
by kilograms from Washington. The
sum awarded by the Geneva Conference
to the United States in the settlement Of
the Alabama claims is due from Grea,
Britain September fourteenth, and semi.
ofhcial advices state that it will be paid
on the 10th, instead of the 18th, accord.
ing to contract. This amount is due in
gold coin ut Washington, but Secretary
richardson, at the suggestion of the
Syndicate, recently called in twenty mil.
lion of the 20 bonds, interest to cease
on September 16. This was done to pre-.
vent, SO far as possible, any disturbance
in the London money market, which
might interfere with the further funding
of the Public Debt by the Syndicate.
1t is likely that fifteen million five hun.
dred thousand dollars of the so called
bonds will be brought in and transmitted
for the payment of the Geneva affair
after September. The skies bonds will
be virtually gold checks in the Treasury
at Washington.
The trial of Frank II. Walwortb. for
