The Posse Comitatus Clause.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Among the en-
barrassments growing out of the posse COM
itdtus close In the army appropriation bill, dis
cussed in the cabinet yesterday in addition to
Pacific Railway matters, were the cases which
have recently occurred--one in Arkansas and
the other In Texas. In Arkansas the U. S.
marshal appealed to the commanding officer
at Fort Concho for a military escort to pro-
tect him in the arrest Of an alleged murderer
who had taken refuge In the Indian Territory.
The request was referred to Gen. Ord, who
declined to furnish the troops, and In turn
referred the request to Washington for specific
instructions. The other case was the applica-
tion for the u. S. marshal of Texas to Colonel
Shafter for troops to assist him in arresting
parties charged with the organization of an
expedition to invade Mexico This request
was also declined and referred to Washington.
Cases were also mentioned in which the au-
thorities might be unable to enforce the neu-
traIity laws. The subject was not finally dis
posed of, but it is probable that instructions
will be issued to military commanders author
izing them to act with previous authority
from Washington. and upon their own re-
sponsibility, when they may be in possession
of evidence that the neutrality laws are to be
violated.
