that hearing is necessary to get con

Tho Case Closed an0 court AulouFns.
gS Scenes at the Trial.
wAsH1soroS, March 20. Judge Mackey,
General Hazen's counsel, concluded his
argument before the Hazen court martial
to-day. He reviewed the testimony Of
Mr.. Kaufman, the reporter who wrote
the published interview with General
Hazen, the Language Of which the prose-
cution charges, shows international disre-
spect Of the Secretary Of War. He argu-
ed that as the reporter admitted that the
report OF the interview was abbreviated
and General Haxen had testified that it
was inaccurate, and that'i the interview
he used no language intended to show dis
respect OF his superior oflicer-no court or
jury could interpret the published report
Of the interview as conveying intentional
disrespect TO the Secretary. He also
argued that Ills client, in writing his letter
TO Secretary Lincoln, did not intend to imt
pugn the motives OF that officer, but
merely intended to vindicate himself
from tho charges that he was the cause OF
the failure to rescue the Greedy party.
He meant no disrespect 10 the Secretary
in this matter, and his purpose in writing
1t was to exculpate himself and not incul-
patio the Secretaryof War.
The Judge advocate then briefly re-
viewed the case and submitted II, and the
court, taking 1t under advisement, ad-
iourned. s3 ttN

How Democratic Senators Manage to Elud,
omco.seelting Patriots.


WASHINGTON, March 20:-The central
point for cilice-seeker in the city seems to
be tho Capitol building, where the Senate
is still in session. The efforts Of Demo.
cratic Senators to get through theGorridors
and into the chamber without being col
Jared and importuned by these anxious
individuals is very amusing. Long before
noon the seats about the Senate are occu-
pied and the aisles thronged with people
in waiting, This has caused majority
Of the Senators towait until the session
has commenced, when the rules keep ev-
erybodY outside except those entitled TO
the privilege Of the floor.
The Secretary's office, where the nomi-
nations are brought after being sent into
The Senate, is The next point Of interest.
A regular procession files in and out all
the time the Senate is in session, looking
at the manifold sheets containing the
lucky names. To-day the Senate had ad-
iourned before Mr.. Pruden, the Presi-
dent 8 secretary, arrived. He had TO take
his communication back to the White
House, amid the laughs Of those aboutth
Capitol, who wanted to know why an
administration that got up att and com.
menced work at s could not get its nomi.
nations around in time for the slow-going
and easy Senate.
About the departments and the Capitol
to-day there was story that ex-senator
Mcdonald had been rendered the position
Of Solicitor General. This isdenied by his
friends. They say that there is no place
within the gift Of the Administration
which Mr.. Mcdonald would accept. The
Star says that since his arrival in this city,
the ex-senator has made no secret Of the
fact that he does not want and would
not take any public position. He has
said repeatedly that he entertains the
highest regard for the President and
the kindeat feelings for his Administra-
ton. His disinciination to accept position
does not proceed from any feeling Of re-
sentiment because he was not put in the
Cabinet. He has no regrets about that,
but he has law practice which yields
him $4,000 q year, and there Is no place
at the, disposal OF the Administration
which he thinks would compensate him
for abandoning that. While he does not
want office under the Administration, Mr..
McDonald gives 1t his warm support, and
