The first thing these two men aud boy dio
was taking q palace car at $50 day, for
which the total payment was 81, ,447 bsfor,
they got to New Orleans. Then they fur
nished themselves with "supplles." The
Utah Commissioners boldly charged for

charged only for supplies" which doubtless
included liquids and solids. He would ask
his friends on the Republican side OF the
chamber if Il was time to stop. This (the
Senate) was all the party had left The
Democrats bad possession at the ether end
of the Capitol and of the administration.
About the lst CT January the Commission
got ready to Start from New Orleans. From
the 1st of October to the 1st of January their
expenses were $4,000 Men who robbed

Suit against a railway Uompauv.

PITTsBURG, March 20.-The Humane Soci-
ETY. Of this city entered suit to-day in the
United States Court against the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, alleging that the
recent act of Congress which provides heavy
penalties on all public carriers of live stock
for failure TO properly care for the animals
during transportation has been shamelessly
disregarded, the defendant company having
allowed live stock shipped from Chicago to
be on the road sixty.two hours without food,
water or rest. The suit is O test one and
was brought at the suggestion of the agent OF
the National Humane Society. Should
plaintiffs win the case, an attempt will be
made to enforce the act in all parts of the
nited States.

GENERAL HAZEN.
An Able Argument of HIS Case by His
Counsel,

WAsH1NeToN, March 2O.-Judge Mackey
to-day concluded very able argument in
behalf of General Hazen before the General
Courtmartial. He said the return by the
Secretary OF War to General Hazen of the
letter written by the latter was a most gra-
cious act an act that should have awakened
only gratitude in the breast of the chief sig
nal officer It was so felt, but the sense OF
gratitude that was felt is marred by the
knowledge Of the fact that copy of the let
ter appears to have been kept. The Secre-
tary IN this kept his word of promise to ear
bat bi0ke it to hope. This was not the open
blow OF q Saxon, but the stiletto thrust of
an Italian. Judge Mackey called attention
to the fact that the accused is on trial before
q court with unchallenged membership.
The accused, he said, is aware that
while the court was authorized by the
President of the United States
that the order detailing it was from the Sec
retsry OF War. The accuser drew the charge.
selected the officers to try it, and appointed
the prosecuting officer. In closing, Judge
Mackey said: The accused awaits your
judgment with confidence. he feels he is
locked up in armor OF triple steel against
this assault. Re feels this Parthenian shaft
will be shattered on the bright shield OF his
SOldierlY record bat if your judgment be
against him, you infiict scar broader and
deeper than those he now bears upon his
BODY, to attest his honorable services in his
country's wars"
The Judge Advocate, in summing up, SIM
ply reviewed the charges and specifications.
Enough evidence, he considered, had been
adduced to sustain them, and at the conclu.
tl0n OF his remarks the court went into Sc
cret session TO consider the case.

ways of the Present Administration.


Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHINeroN, Match 2o.-Much surprise
has been expressed at the nominations that
have been made so far by the President.
This surprise is not considered as conveying
en- unfavorable opinion of the sppointees
nor rejecting upon Mr.. Cleveland, but
eYinces feeling that the ways of this ad-
ministration are not those entertained
and practiced by predecessors IN the
White House. 1t is now considered mis-
fortune by applicants for position to have
their names mentioned in print, siace that
class of men are invariably lef! out Of the
lists OF nominations being made up.
Generally it is thought that the President
makes up his mind largely from the impress
sions be gets OF men who ask for places. The
importunate ones be doesn't heed, because
he fears they will make him trouble If once
they get in.
