The record of court martial in the case
of Gen. w. 8. Stanley on the charges of con
duct unbecoming gentleman and prejudicia
to service in charging Gen. William B. Hazer
with cowardiee, has been, considered by the
Judge Advocate General of the Army and il
has been decided to issue an order reconven
ing the court at Governors Island, New York
harbor, for the purpose Of making up and pre-
senting more specific findings in regard to the
conduct of Gen. Stanley. The private opinion
of all the war department officers seems to be
that Stanley has sustained his charges against
Hazen at least to very great extent, and that
he has in no way dishorned himself in bring
ing them against Gen. Hazen, but 1t is con
sidered that the Interests of the service re
quire that Stanley should be specifically ad
monished against bringing charges, writing
letters and adopting the course which he hat
taken during the past few years in order tc
expose and humiliate Gen. Hazen.

A Believing Elephant.

During recent high wind, the large
lantern on the top of the elephant-house
in the Geological Garden of Philadelphia
was demolished. Pieces of the thick
glass fell into the cage occupied by the
elephants, and the female, treading on
one Of the fragments, received a painful
wound.
Instead Of displaying the heroic pa
thence under, suffering that might have
been looked for in creature Of her di-
mensions, she set up a howl that made
the roar of the storm seem the signing OF
a zephyr by contrast.
The keeper, attracted by the din, hast
ened to the scene, and found her rolling
about the cage, believing the while in
cessantly.
Her companion was found to be COM
forting her as well as he could by trying
to roar louder than she did, and by letting
halfpint tear of sympathy now and
then roll down his trunk, which was
wound tenderly about the wounded leg OF
the PROSTATE beast.
DR.. Henry c. Chapman, surgeon to the
Geological Society, was summoned. He

fast, so that she could not interfere with
his operations in her agitation.
She was secured by ropes, and thrown
on her side on bed of straw, treatment
| which evoked from her some extra efforts
in the roaring line.
When DR.. Chapman began to probe
softly around the wound with a lancet
however, she showed an elephant in.
stinctive respect for friend by ceasing
her believing, and holding the injured
foot perfectly still.
The operation occupied but few min
utes in It's performance. DIR. Chapman
successfully removed the fragments Of
glass, stopped the flow of blood from the
wound; and in few minutes the. huge
beastwas again on her feet, looking as
amiable as lamb.

On the Congo.

SANKEY'S men had no less than thirty
two battles with hostile native tribes on
the river Congo, a good many of their
men being killed first and last. And
they also lost considerable number by
drowning, as the river has great num-
Der of rapids and whirpools, and is q
dangerous one to navigate. In one in
stance no less than nine men were drowned
in single afternoon. It was sometimes
necessary to haul their boat and canoes
for long distance round these rapids, a
task which was very slow and difficult.

enumeration of the wonders forming an
aggregation the most extensive that

IN Philadelphia the exhibition has met
with unparalleled success, and the at

electric light. There are eighteen cleo
trio light chandeliers, equal to 33,0Oo
gas Jets. 1t is run by thirty horse
power engine and makes 900 revolu-
lions per minute. Of.this wonderful
machine the Philadelphia "Times' OF
20 day says: "Above the head burned
what seemed to be two small balls of
fire, without any flame or smoke. and
of such dazzling brilliancy that the
naked eye could hardly stand the glare
for an instant. A million little needles
Of variegated light seemed to be per
petually shooting out from the body OF
the fire, giving each the appearance OF a
small chestnut burr" The Menagerie
is complete one and is formed Of the
most valuable selections from all parts
OF the globe. The talent engaged In
the circus department Is OF the best.

the question Of immigration h-tween

CONGREGATIONAL.

The United States Senate was not in
session Saturday. In the House, Mr..
Stevens bill directing the Treasury to
redeem the subsidiary silver coin in
legal tender money was considered dur.
ing the morning hour. A motion made
by Mr.. Garfield was adopted, substitu
ting "lawful money" tor the phrase
'legal-tender."
M-ssrs Mckinley, Frye and Blackburn
engaged in a spirited personal contro.
versy, the latter charging the former
with having made garbled quotations
from his recent speech on the army bill.
He never complained Of a manly blow
struck from the front, but only of an
unmanly stab delivered in the back.
The controversy grew out Of the read
ing by Mr.. Frye of an editorial extract
from the Okalona (Mis..) "Statps,"
which pretended to quote some extreme
sentiments from Mr.. Black burns speech.
and indorsed them as representing
Southern sentiment.

Mr.. Frye some time since as to political
outrages and murders in North Carolina,
characterizing the republican laudation
of the free ballot as transparent
mockery, declaring that the constitu.
tional amendments were regarded in
the South as entitled to respect and
obedience, and attributing the rise and
existence of the ku-klux organization
in North Carolina to the conduct of
carpet-baggers holding Office in that

Strike ~ the Eleventh street


This morning learning that strike
had taken place at the Eleventh street
quarry, a reporter of the REPUBLICAN
visited the place. The men were hard
at work with their picks and shovels,
and judging from the number of work.
men it hardly looked as If there had
been strike. While the men were
busy digging in the earth no carts were
visible and no one appeared to be taking
the dirt away, Upon investigation W.
learned from the contractor, Richard H.
Rowe, that the men in charge of the
carts had struck for an advance in
wages.
When the dit was taken over Third
Street Bridge, the carriers received l3
cents load. and on commencing this
morning TO take the dit over Eleventh
Street Bridge, the price was reduced to
8 cents per load. The carriers thought
that they shonld rpceivejust the same
price for taking dirt over Eleventh
street AZ they did over Third Street.
Bridge, hence the cause Of the s'rlke.
Mr.. Rowe further stated that the
strikers except the leaders, (and he
would not hire them at any price, }
would return to work in the afternoon
at the price named above. This is, OF
course, Mr.. Rowe's statement Of the
strike which like all other questions
may have another side to it. We were
unable this morning to see any cf the
strikers, hence cannot at present give
their statement of the affair.
