WASHINGTON, November l4.-Judge Ad.
yoca.e General Swain, in his annual re.
port, which has Just been made public,
dsyotes much space to q review Of the law
governing military court.martials, and the
defects In the same. He takes exception

General Of the Army, In which the latter
sayG "Desertion Is the most heinous
crime possible TO o soldier, but under the
beniVn influences OF our bureau OF mill.
tary Justice has grown 10 be. considered as
OF little more concern than lor laborer to
quit his employer without leave or notice"
General Swain protests that this recon-.
mendatien applied solely to desertion In
time OF peace, and that he believed the pun.
ishment for that offsnse to be too severe,
while desertion In time Of danger or war is
undeniably heinouS crime, and Ia usually
punished by death In the military service.
General Swain also touches upon the legal
questions affecting the BlaDdln case. In
regard 10 the question OF the limitation to
prosecution for deeertion General Swain
hoidsfphat a court martial has exclusive
jurisdiction to try party duly entered In
the army for the offsnse Of desertion, and
that the Limitation prescribed for the trial

WASHINGTON, d. O., November l4.-The
widely circulated reports that the charges
against certain Of the inculpated pension
agents have been Withdrawn, have no
foundation in fact. They were deliberate.
ly manufactured and put in circulation for
effect. So far from this being true, steps
In advance OF q mere recommendation for
suspension have been taken in several
of tho cases, and criminal prosecution
recommended in addition. The Pension
Office has notified all who were recon.
mended for suspension 10 file written
replies to the charges against them by the
30.h OF November. All who at that time
are in default with their defense will be
recommended for disbarment.
The claim agents are very busy pressing
the argument that, II they are disbarred,
those having incomplete Cases in their
hands will suffer. In other words, they
must still be allowed to swindle all they
can entrap Of thoee who have no valid
claims, lest these they have caught whose
claims may-prove good shall suffer.
The argument 6ss been used here for
years, and has had considerable effect, bns
the saindling has now grown to such enor.
nous proportions that il seems best to all
dealing with the matter TO stamp the whole
gang out as the only means Of saving the
largest number from loss.
As matter Of fact, those having honest
claims in the hands Of theso SCENTS would
suffer very little from the change, as in a
majority Of cases such claimants would al

TORONTO, November l4.-Dispatches
have been sent to all parts along the
Georgian Bay in hopes that the steamer
Francis Smith, from Collingwood to Port
Arthur, running in connection with the
Canada Pacific railway, has succeeded in
reaching harbor, but so far nothing has
been received which will warrant the hope
that the vessel Is safe. She left Colling.
wood the latter part Of last week and Ia
several days overdue. She has nearly one
hundred passengers. These, added to the
crew, will swell the number Of souls on
board to round hundred. The vessel,
though s,aunch, was worn by age, and il,
as Is feared, she encountered the ter.
rible gales, of the past. three days In
Georgian Bay there is every reason 10 sup
pose that she succImbed to the gale
and went down with all on board
The anxiety which is felt By all is further
heightened, by the fact that about year
ago one OF the great vessels in the same
line went down In the came locality in
which the Smith should be. The bay is
the most treacherous place in all the great
lakes, and in severe storm such as has
prevailed 1t is almost impossible for even
the s.aunchest boat to live. The steamer
Is very large side.wheeler and belongs to
a Canadian named John Smith, Of Owen
Sound. She piled altogether in the pas.
senger business between Collingwood and

the past had great deal Of trouble. She
was valued at S2S.000, rated at q and

A Democrat who BenicS Tildcn's Robust
fFnltl,

Health.
WASHINGTON, D. O., November 14.-A
prominent Democratic Congressman, who
has had occasion 10 visit New York on
party business several times lately, gives
the following as true account OF the con.
dition Of Mr.. Tilden.: "He is," he says, "as
neardead as q man can be to entitle him
to keep out Of the grave. He is fed with q
spoon likes helpless baby, and he does
not pretend to attend to any business. He
refers everybody to his man OF business,
Andy Green. II rHoney'is asked for poll.
Tics, charity or religion, the matter goes to
Green. Idon't believe that Tilden takes
any interest in politics, or cares anything
about politics, but there is crew who de-
pend upon him for their political breath.
Without Tilden they would be nothing.
"They do oil that is possible to keep
alive tho Tilden influence, and the old
man simply permits them TO make capital
out Of fiis name, because he Is too indiffer-
ent to care anything about it. He. may be
in better physical condition now than
when saw him last, few months ago,
but at that time didn't believa-he had
life enough in him to last till nowsn
II Believe" added the Congressman,
'that when Tilden dies some men in the
Democratic party will still be intimidated
by the fear Of his ghost. ~ -.
