operate with the civil authorities
when called on. Information has
been received from Fort Griffin, at
headquarters, that the citizens are
making an earnest effort to arrest the

pressly for furnishing witnesses and
professional jurymen in any part Of

New ORLEANS, March l0.-The re-
lection of Pinchback by the United
States Senate is the absorbing topic In
political circles. His friends are bitter
in their denunciation of Senator Chris
tiancy and his following. 1t is said
that Pinchback will turn his political
influence over to the Conservatives.
That party will receive him, and when
the campaign opens he will stump the
State for the Conservatives. 1T is
further said that this was agreed upon
months ago in case of his defeat, and
the result will be 10000 negro votes for
the Conservatives In this State alone,
The effect will be the same In other
Southern States.
SAN FRANCISCO, March l0.-Norman
Wizard, now in the city, denies the
statement telegraphed from Washing
ton, iutimating fraud in conducting
the ordnance experiments. The
amount Of money he received from the
Government for carrying out the ex-
periments was about Sill 1000, vouchers
for which have all been satisfactorily
audited. The total amount expended
by him was about 1928, 900, the balance
coming from his own pocket, for
which he never made and never con-
templated making any claim upon the
Government. If he should receive
any intimation that his presence was
wanted, he should get nearer WASH
ington quicker than he should go
further away.
New YORK, March lC.--Henry c.
Bowen last night appeared before the
Special Committee Of Plymouth
Church to try his case. All the menu
bers we've present, as well as members
of the Examining Committee. The
charges preferred against Bowen by
the Examining Committee were read,
and Bowen made very lengthy reply,
which was a general denial OF all the
charges made by the committee. To
the charge accusing him OF Islander,
Bowen said that the publication of his
of February 4th had
made him liable to suit for libel before
the civil courts, and the fact that no
such action had been brought against
him, Is presumptive proof that he has
not been guilty Of Islander. Clerk
Olney conducted the case for the pros
ecution, and when he had concluded,
It was arranged that the committee
should meet next Tuesday evening,
when Bowen will put in his defense.
