The Swain Court Martial.

WASHINGTON. December lin the
Swain court martial, to-day, witness
Seth A. Terry, who was examined
Yesterday, was recalled by the judge
advocate for further cross-examinatiOn.
The principal part of the examination,
and one which proved highly sensa-
tional, was directed to impeaching the
credibility of the witness. Under the
close questioning of the Judge advocate
the witness stated he was formerly the
secretary of the Territorial Land and
Building Association of this city and
severed his connection with that assocl-
alton upon the confession by him OF
shortage in his accounts; that he was
indicted for embezzlement, but was
never tried, the District Attorney hay
ing informed him that thee was no case
against him, because the association was
not incorporated under the laws or
the District of Columbia, and
that the amount of the en-
bezzlement was $4,000. In an
swer to inquiries by General Cos
venor, OF counsel for defense, witness
said he had not embezzled any money,
and that the charge was brought against
him to blackmail him. He said that
one of the directors of the association
told his attorney that they proposed to
have blood or money, and, he added, he
had no doubt that II. B.
James, the head of the customs
division of the Treasury Department,
is instrumental in pursuing him with
this charge and bringing it into this
court. Witness said his application for
appointment in the office of the Judge
Advocate General was accompanied by
letters from fifty to seventy-five prom
inent persons. among others from Cen
eral Howard, Minister lIangston and
Mr.. Leduc. then commissioner of agri-
cultures He said all these people knew
the circumstances attending his indict-
ment for embezzlement; that he had
told them all about it. Adjourned.

ing Of the Trans-continental railway AS
ISOLATION to-day, most of the afternoon
session was devoted to the discussion Of
q resolution by the Central Pacific, that
the members define their position in re-
gard to the action Of the seabOard trunk
lines in refusing to concur in the new
basis of rates to the Pacific Coast.
The resolution was defeated. 1t was
finally decided to instruct Commits
sioner Ristine to telegraph Commits
sioner Fink, suggesting a truce till
January 3lSt. next. 4 majority OF the
association opposed a continuance of
the subsidy Of t. per cent. on San Fran
cisco business to the Northern Pacific,

They also opposed a like subsidy to the
Central Pacific for its Oregon Short
Line to Portland. 1t IS believed, how
ever, that both viii be granted subsidies,
but that the allowance viii be less than 8
per cent. each. The entire day having
been consumed in discussion, the
Central Pacific offered a resolution,
that the auditor be instructed to settle

December 3ISt. The meaning being

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, December Ex-senator
Slater to-day introduced b2s to pro-
vide that no statute of limitation hereto
fore enacted shall be deemed to prohibit
the adjudication of claims for co1npensa-
ton for property lost in the military
service of the United Stntes, when such
loss is matter of record in any oaicial
record of the War or Treasury depart
ment. 1t is provided, however, that
this shall not be construed to exte1sd to
any classes of property other than those
for the loss of which compensation has
been authorized by existing law.
The'Secretary of the Interior, IN yes
pOnse to the House resolution, informs
the House of Representatives that So
S72 fee contracts, at $50 each, have
been filed in the pension office under
the act of July 4th, 1884. OF this num-
Der it is estimated that not less than
IS, 600 relates to pension claims Sled
prior to July 4th, and for which $40
fee only can be legally charged. By
this trick, the claim agents hoped to Sc
cure a large amount of money they were
not entitled TO.

GreeIV-Howeate.

WAsHINsTo05, December 17.-Secre-
tary Lincoln, to-day, said to
Star reporter, that recent
publications made it useless TO
continue, ut present, the search FOR
Howgate, and he believed they were
made in the interest of that defaulting
official. "kt is intimated," suggested
the reporter, that Lieutenant Greedy
was an accomplice of Howgate.
Il have had no such suspicious in she
matter replied Secretary Lincoln,
"but Lieutenant Greedy was unfortunate
in allowing his own name to be used ss
giving out the information, which was
rendered useless by being published
and if he is correctly reported in making
the remark as TO his friendship for and
willingness 10 assist HOwgate, Which
implied that he regarded him rs an un-
fortunate man, rather than an escagsd
criminal. l say that it was unfortunate,
in that it tends to give a color of sus-

with him in the Signal service
