Gen. Hazen's Mild Repremand.

Gen. Hazen was tried for conduct to the
prejudice of good order and military discip-
line, and the offenses alleged to have
been committed were contained in three
specifications, which set forth-frst,
that in his official report for 1884 he criti-
cised tho official action of the secretary Of
war; second, that he addressed letter to the
secretary in which he claimed that the loss of
life on tho Greedy expedition was due to the sec
retary's decision not to send q steamer TO the
rescue in September 1888 and third, that with
out permission he caused the purport or said
letter to be published in Washington newspa-
per-
The sentence was a reprimand, which is
made by the president as follows
The proceedings findings and sentence in the
case of Brig. Gen. William b. Hazen, chief sig
nal officer of tho United States army, are hereby
approved. In giving effect to the sentence Of the
court martial, it is to be observed that the more
exalted the rank held by an officer of the army
the greater the responsibility resting on him to
afford, through his own subordination to his SUI
perior officers, an example for all others OF IN
ferior rank in the service. To an officer of
fins sensibilites the mere fact of being brought
to trial before a court martial must be IN it
self q modification and punishment In the
foregoing case the accused, whose high
rank and long experience should have splred
him with full realization of that respect for
constituted authority which is essential to dis
pline, has been adjudged guilty of indulging in
unwarranted and captous criticism OF his supe-
rior officer, the secretary of war; thereby setting
an example subversive of discipline and the in
terests Of the service SubordInation is neces-
sarily the primal duty of a soldier, whatever
his grade may be. In losing sight of these
principles the accused has brought upon him
self the condemnation of his brother officers
who examined the charges against him and Sc
riously impairs his own honorable record of
previous conduct 1t is 10 be hoped that the
lesson will not be forgotten.
Gen. Hazen will be released from arrest and
assume the duties of his Office

A Wicked Boy.

From an Exchange.
MThey say that the chief astronomer
at the Washington observatory was
dreadfully sold short time since. A
wicked boy, whose Sunday school
experience seems to only have made
him more depraved, caught fire fly
and stuck it, with the aid of some
mucilage, in the center of the largest
lens of the telescope. That night when
the astronomer went to work he perceiv-
ed blaze of light apparently in the
heavens, and what amazed him the
more was that it would give q couple
of spurts and then die out. only to burst
forth again in second or two. He
examined it carefully for few minutes
and then began to do sums to find out
where in the heavens that extraordinary
star was placed. He thought he found
the locality, and next morning he
telegraphed all over the universe that
he had discovered a new and remark
able star of the third magnitude in
Orion. In a day or two all the as
tronomers of Europe and America We're
studying Orion; they gazed at it Tor
hours until they were mad, and then
they began to telegraph to the man in
Washington to know what lie meant.
The discoverer took another look and
found that the new star had moved
eighteen billion miles in twenty four
hours, and upon examining it closely
he was alarmed to perceive that it had
legs. When he went on the dome next
morning to polish up the glass he
found the lightning bug. And they say
he went into it with a whole-souled sin
cerlty and vigorous energy. The bill
for telegraphing dispatches amounted
to 1900, and now the astronomer
wants to find that boy. He wishes to
consult with him about something.

oklahoma Boomers Get a Set Back

A Washington paper prints an interview be-
tween Capt Couch, the leader of the Okla
homa ~boomers," and the secretary of the in
terror, with regard to the Oklahoma lands, in
the course OF which Secretary Lamar said, re-
garding the course of the administration: 81
will state to you the policy OF this administra-
ton with regard to this Oklahoma country. 1t
considers the Oklahoma territory on which
the persons you represent are proposing to
make settlements, as within and part of the
Indian territory The administration regards
it as not part of the public domain open to
entry and settlement and the acquisition
of titles under tho land laws of the
United States, being Indian country; that
is territory acquired and reserved for
Indian occupancy. The government is
pledged to the protection of it and the
security of the Indians from intrud-
ers No white persons have q right to go there
and reside without permit, and when they do
go they are ntruders who are acting illegally
and wrongfully. The policy Of the president
is to execute the pledge of the government an
protect this territory from the intrusion OF
white persons, who claim that they have q
right to enter upon it and that it was public
domain, subject to pre- emption and homestead
or settlement" SIS this the final decision?"

forced" replied Mr.. Lamar. In reply to a
further question, Secretary Lamar said the adj
ministration was determined that the cattle
men on the Oklahoma reservation should
leave. They will not be permitted to Craze
their cattle within the limits of the territory:
He repeated this declaration with emphasis
