CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

In the senate, yesterday, the military
academy appropriation bill passed.
The tariff bill came up but was laid
aside.
A bill establishing United States
courts in the western and southern dis
tricts of Georgia.
In the house the Geneva award bill
was made special order for April l tn.
The Chinese bill coming up, Nc
Lane, of Ohio, commended that con-
gress not only had the power to pass
the bill, but that its provisions were
expressly warranted by the Chinese
treaty. He favored the passage Of
the bill on the ground of expediency,
and in conclusion asserted that the re-
publican party was committed to the
principle of this bill on the ground of
freedom of labor. Should it now turn
its back on its battle flag its old war
cry and its platform, as if they were
claptrap, and be reticent to its prompt
trusts As a professional republican,
he stood by the white labor Of the Pa
cifc states, against the dishonorable
competition of Chinese labor, and he
could vote for the bill with a clear con-
science. Applause.

SERGEANT MASON.

There IS now no doubt that trying
Sergeant Mason by court-martial was
an error 1t is just now being discov-
cred that he has been so tried in vio-
lation of the constitution. and, also, Of
the Articles of war. There is no such
thing, it seems, as court martial-in or
out of the army-excepting in time of
war or public danger, and Mason should
have been delivered over to civil au-
thority for trial. The following is the
constitutional provision applicable to
the case:
ARTICLE 5. No person shall be held
to answer for capital or otherwise in
famous crime, unless on a presentment
Or indictment of grand jury, except
IN cases arising in the land or naval
forces, or in the militia, when in actual
service in time of war or public danger.
In addition to this plain provision
of the constitution, Art. 50 OF tine
articles of war made it the duty of the
officer having Mason in custody to de-
liver him to the city authority for trial
under penalty of dismissal from Office.
The unfortunate sergeant never was
demanded by any civil authority, and
the military authority seems to have
been unaware of the rule. All this
discloses a very reprehensible lack of
law learning in the proctor, or judge ad-
vocate, of the court martial that tried
him, and very reprehsnsible lack of
vigilence all round. 1t would thus
seem that the government owes Mason
something more than pardon. He
has not been tried at all because
court not of competent jurisdiction is
not a court. This is certainly rough
on Mason who has got to be GRIM
inal for failing to commit crime, and
convict without being tried for it.
There is probably no danger that the
president will not interpose the execu-
tive pardon under these circumstances.

AN OPINION OF SAN ANTONIO.

Travelling away from San Antonio,
you naturally fall in with people who
have visited the Alamo City and hear
their opinion of it. l fell in with three
gentlemen from Chicago, who very free
in expressing their views of San An
tonic; one of them said he had heard
of San Antonio as a beautiful city and
as superior health resort, but found
it .lud hole with no hotel aCcommo-
dations, being compelled to take shell
ter in a barn. These travellers related
circumstantially the scenes of mud they
had witnessed while in San Antonio
and commented on the ugly, squatty
buildings, there not being frst-class
house in the place, while even the
bridges that span the river are I'M
slightly.
The picture drawn was, of course,
exaggerated, but it contained truth
enough to be disagreeable. These
travellers referred Laredo to San An
tonic. "GlFF."

l remarked, after reading 1t the
second time, that l could see
nothing wrong; the same dim
ner at Delmonico's will cost
you ST. more. There is no law

ing that San Antonio newspaper men,

gested that Mr.. Hoxie was man of

in his complaint, he would prob
ably put on special car
and feed him for fifteen cents a day
rather than have him dissatisfied. On
investigation l found that this gentle
man was riding on pass, and was
"klcking" because he had been re-
fused sleeping car pass. This bill

financial ability induced me to try the
luxuries of a dining car, and to
express it mildly, they are simply i'm
mense. Leaving San Antonio on the
Hess train, you can order dinner to
suit your taste and finances, to cost
from 50 cents to $500. l ordered for
two, and with bottle of claret, our bill
was only $500, and | would not ask
for a better dinner in any country:
everything neat and clean and meals
cooked to order and served as YOU
want them. In fact, the enterprising
management of the l. & G. N, and
Missouri Pacific railroads now makes
a trip through Texas, Indian Territory,
Kansas and Missouri, one of absolute
pleasure and comfort instead of one to
be dreaded for weeks before and after
wards.
