Names OF the Candidates for Some of
the Fattest Places.
WASHINGTON, March 12-The Presi-
dent to-day designated Marcellus Gardner
to represent the Interior Department in
the executive board of the New Orleans
Exposition, vice Benjamin ButterwOrtb,
resigned. The friends of Gen. Mcclellan
predict that he will be among the first
foreign representatives to be named. Mr..
Z. II. Butler, one Of the Presidents
Buffalo friends, who has been named as a
candidate for the position of Public Prin-
ter, is understood to be seeking for Capt.
Burrill's place at the head of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing. The law re-
qulres that the Public Printer shall be a
practical printer, and this bars out
Mr.. Butler and some of the other
supposed candidates for Mr.. Rounds
place. E. w. Oyster, of Wash
ingtOn, who is prominent in labor
organizations, has been added to the list
Of applicants for Mr.. Rounds place, and
is backed by a number of Senators and
gressmen Phil Thompson, of Kentucky,
who have regarded him as certain to
be the successor of Internal Revenue
Commissioner Evans, are disturbed to-
night by persistent reports that the next
Commissioner will be an unnamed gen.
tleman from West Virginia.
The Ohio men here are confident that
ex-Representative Frank HuId will be
nominated for Solicitor General, in place
of Mr.. Phillips.

gard 10 the appointment of Phil ThOmp-
son, of Kentucky. as Commissioner of In

Democrats in Congress, besides the en-
tire kentucky delegation, have added
their efforts in his behalf. Mr.. Morrison

ing his appointment.
Senators Beck and Voorhees, called on
Mr.. Manning again this morning, and
urged the matter with great earnestness,
while Mr.. Blackburn was clOseted with
the President for a long time on the same
subject. The only opposition to the ap-
pOintment is said to come from Mr.. RAM
dalI, vet it threatens to prove more
powerful than all the influence that is
brought on the other side. His opposition
is upon the grounds that the position
should not 90 to Kentucky. He is said to
have warned Secretary Manning that the
appointment OF Kentucky man to that
pfaoe would be a great misfortune to
the party. Upon this Secretary
Manning has taken a stand in opposition
TO Mr. Thompson, and while he does not
declare that he will not yield, he says
that he thinks that it would be bad ap-
pointment. The point made is that the

GEN. HAzEN's TRIAL.
A "staI" Reporter the First Witness to
Take the Stand.


WASHINGTON, March I2.-In the Hazeu
cOurtmartlal to-day the Judge Advocate
read to the court the admission of facts
promised by the accused yesterday.
The accused admits that in his annual re-
port OF Oct. Is. 1884, he used the language set
out in the first specification.
He also admits that without authorization
by the Secretary of War, and without a re-
quest from the latter, he the accused) ad-
dressed to the Secretary OF War a communi-
cation containing tn language set out in the
third specification. The counsel for the ac-
cused stated that IL was the purpose Of the de-
Tense yesterday TO extend the admissions be-
yond what had been admitted, but that upon
d comparison OF the third specification with
the documents to which it refers they decided
not to make admissions they had intended to
make. The Judge Advocate SAID that this
change Of purpose on the part of the defense
made 1t necessary for him to bring another
witness INTO court and thus delay the court
somewhat.
The President OF the court interrupting the
Judge Advocate, said: II don't see how you
can require more than has been done If
they say that they won't admit anything
further, you can't make them, and there's no
use talking about it further"
The Judge Advocate then introduced in ev-
ldence theannual report of Gen. Hazeu, of
Oct. 10. 1881, and the letter of Gen. Hazen to
the Secretary of War, of Feb. IL, 1888, upon
the language in both of which the charge
against Gen. Hazen is in part based.
THE FIRST WITNESS.
The first witness for the prosecution, Ru-
dolph Kaufman, a reporter OF the Erenin0
Star of this city, was then called. He testified
to having had a conversation with Gen, Hazen
on the evening OF March of this year, and
to having written report of that conversa-
tlon, which was published in the Star of
March 2. The newspaper in which the report
was published was then produced in court
and the article in question identified by the
witness as having been written by him. 1t is
the article in which Gen. Hazen is reported
as having admitted writing the letter of Feb.
II, 1888, TO the Secretary of War throwing the
blame of the tragic terminal on of the Greedy
Polar expedition upon the Secretary of War.
The witness testified that the
article was written from memory
OF the conversation, he having taken
no notes, that it represented the substance of
what was sand, and that there was no injunc-
tion on the part of Gen. HaZen against publ-
cation OF the conversation. UpOu cross eX-
animation the witness said that he did not
tell Gen. HaZen at the time that the CONVEX
satiOn was to be published, and Gen. Hazen
did not request Its publication. On the redi-
rect examination the witness said that Gen.
Hazen knew the fact that he reported for the
Star. and that he had, on other occasions,
published items of news obtained from him
(Hazen) without any request for their publ-
cation and without any statement by the wit
ness that he intended to publish tn am.

WALLACE REPLIES TO GRANT.

Preparing an Article for the Century
In Reply to that OF the Old Com
mander.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 1O.-The In
dianapolis Times has the following:
Gen. Lew Wallace, now our Minister to
Turkey, feels keenly the criticism Of him.
self by Gen. Grant in his article on the
battle of Shiloh, in the February Centuru,
and will, upon his return home, which
Will be in very snort time, prepare and
publish In the Century an article in
which he will give full and perfect his
tory of the movements of his division
throughout the two days of the battle.
1t will be thorough and exhaustive.
Gen. Grant seemed to have forgotten
when he wrote the Century article that
he ever gave Gen. Wallace an exonera-
tion which covers a point he recently
made against him as a glove covers a
hand. He forgot another peculiarly in
teresting and pertinent incident. After
the battle of Monocacy he was full of
gratitude. In saving Washington Gen.
Wallace had in a large measure saved
GRANTS military reputation, and in tacit
acknowledgment he invited Gen. Wallace
to spend a couple of weeks with him at
City Point.
The General accepted the invitation.
One day at the dinner table some
officers were discussing the battle of ShI-
lob. Gems. Grant and Wallace both lis
tened attentiyely. AT length Gen. Grant
turned to Gen. Wallace, who sat at his
right, and said in low voice: "If mad
known then what | know now, would
have ordered you to move as you started
for she field" This incident has never
been mentioned outside OF the Generals
own family, because it was table-talk and
might have been considered as confiden.
tial, but the Generals friends now feel
that the Century article relieves both the
General and themselves from restraint.

Judge Blodgett denied the motion for a

fenced each to two years imprisonment
In Joliet, and also imposed a fine of 81, 900
on each. He then ordered them into the
custody OF the United States Marshal and

the prisoners were taken in charge by the

case by Judge Gresham will probably be
drawn up and presented in court tO-mOr-
row, and the prisoners will then doubt

to be the last step that can be taken in
the case, and if he declines to interfere
with the verdict the prisoners will be
taken at once to the penitentiarY.

PITTsBURG, March 12.-There is no
special features in the miners strike to-
day, except that the Castle shannon forces
joined in the demand for cents. The
operators assert that the extent of the
strike is greatly exaggerated, and that
fully two thirds of the river mines are still
in operation. There is no indication of
weakening on either side. Thus far the
strike has been conducted quietly, and
10 fears of trouble are entertained.
