GENERAL HAZEN'S CASE.

The Findings and Sentence of the Court
Martial Approved and Executed by the
Presidential Mild Reprimand.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April ls.-The
President in approving the finding OF the
Hazen court-martial, indorsed 1t with
an executive order in which he used
the following language: "The proceed
ings, findings and sentence in the FORE
going case of Brigadier-General WIN.
B. Hazen, Chief Signal Officer, United
States Army, are hereby approved. In
giving effect to the sentence OF the court

more exalted the rank held by an oft1-
Ger of the army the greater is the re-
sponsibility resting upon him to anord'
through his own subordination to his su-
perior officers, an example Tor all
others who may be OF 1nIe-
rior rank in the service. 10 an
officer of fine sensibilities, the mere 1act
of being brought to trial before court
martial must in itself be a modification
and punishment. In the foregoing case

respect for constituted authority whicn
is essential to military discipline, mas

warranted and captious criticism OF
his superior officer, the Secretary OF
War, thereby setting pernicious ex.
ample, subversion of discipline and the
interests of the service. Subordinatlon
is necessarily the primal duty OF a SOL

losing sight of this principle, the accused
has brought upon himself the condemna-
tion of his brother officers, who ex-
amined the charges against him, and
seriously impaired his own honorable
record of previous conduct. 1t is to be
hoped that the lesson will not be for

A CELESTIAL RAISING,

Terrible Explosion at a Chinese Laundry
Four of the Inmates Killed and One Fa-
tally Injured-The Parties Suspected Of
the Deed.
ANACONDA. MONT, April 17.-This
city was shaken yesterday by terrible
explosion. Hardly had the sound died
away ere another explosion, much louder
than the first, brought the inhabitants to
their doors, trembling with fear. They
thought at first that an explosion had oc-
CURED in the smelter, but soon learned
that a Chinese wash-house Immediately
adjoining the California restaurant, on
Front street, had been blown up and the
inmates horribly mangled.
Four of the six Chinese who were in
the building are dead, one other will die,
and one escaped unhurt. Giant powder
was the explosive used. The house is
complete wreck. Windows in the
vicinity were shattered, and stones were
found on the roofs of buildings two blocks
away. Some time ago two wood chop
pers broke open the house, hurled two
beer kegs through the windows, beat the
Cinnamon and stole some clothes. They
were arrested, and two of their number
sent to the Penitentiary. They escaped,
and it is supposed the fiendish deed was
done by them. The police are in pursuit,
and if captured they will probably be
lynched.

Thrilling Experience of a Work Train and
Its Occupants on a Colorado Railroad
Several Workmen Seriously Injured and
One Killed.
DENVER, COL, April IA work train
on the High Line division Of the Denver
South Park Road left Wheelers yesterday
for Kokomo, where the company has been
at work for nearly ten days tunneling
through the snow blockade. Some sixty
laborers were riding ON fiat cars. While
the train was running through cut
where the snow lowered thirty or forty
feet above the train, the fireman's elbow,
which projected from the window OF the
cab, grazed the soft snow and in an instant
huge avalanche of snow, powders and
gravel came laundering down, knocking
the fireman off the cab, and brushing
off the laborers from the cars to the OPP
posite bank and burying them. The en-
gineer was unhurt and quickly brought
the train to stop. Those who were un-
hurt went to work at once with shOvelS
to rescue the unfortunates, and the en-
gine was sent to Breckenridge for REIN
forcements and physicians. Only one
man, Charles Kans, was killed outright.
He was forced from the cars and ground
beneath the weels. The wounded are:
James Mac Mahon, fireman; severely in
jured internally and externally.
John Holiigan, both legs broken and
badly crushed about the hips.
c. S. Rhode, external injuries.
c. S. Baker, breast and side crushed.
These men, it is thought, will die. A
large number received injuries which,
although painful, are not necessarily
fatal

The Crops-The Prospects Reported BY q
Resident of Southeast Missouri.
Colonel n. j. Deal, of Charleston, Mis-.
sissippi County, was interviewed recently
as to the condition of crops in Southeast
Missouri He said: sThe planters have
commenced planting corn in Mississippi
and New Madrid counties. A much larger
acreage than has been planted for years
will be put in this season. All the over
flowed lands will be put into cultivation
this year. The overflow last year left US
at this time, but they didn't get their
fencing up in time for planting. Tt, po-
tato crop is already planted. They have
also commenced planting watermelons.
Ihe watermelon crop will not be so heavy
on account of the apprehension re-
garding cholera. The farmers are
afraid that they will quarantine
against watermelons. The wheat is dam
aged considerably, but the acreage is small
this year. Flowing has been excellent.
The ground pulverizes better than it has
!or ten years on account of the freezing
the past winter. The spring has been
backward for budding out and early grass
but grand for plowing."
Colonel Deal says he is opposed to CALL
ing together the Legislature on acc cunt Of
the cattle pleuro-pneumonia. The South
east is opposed to being taxed for sick cat
tie In Galloway County. They have had
the hog cholera, the overflow and other
misfortunes, but never asked the State for
help. He met Labor Commissioner
kochtitzky in st. Louis, who has gone
down to New Madrid. The Comm issioner
trusts that the expense of calling together
the Legislature can be avoided.

and Characterizes the Allegation
Silly Fa1sehood.
NEW YORK, April 16.-The colored peo-
pie here have been excited of late over
stories which have been set afoat touch
ing an alleged enmity of Secretary Bayard
toward the negro race. 1t was stated
that while in the Senate he took special
precautions to avoid any social Or per-
sonal recognition of his fellow-Senator
B. K Bruce, and that in other ways he
displayed dislike for the race.
Oswald r. Smith, an intelligent col
ored man of this city, and the Secretary
of the New York Colored Democratic AS
sembly, took the matter in hand and
wrote to Secretary Bayard, asking for an
explanation. The correspondence is as
follows:

State:
DEAR SIR send you the inclosed with
regrets, and would be pleased if you
would faver me with reply as to wheth-
er there is any truth in this statement.
am, and have been a faithful worker
among the very best classes of my people,
and was very faithful in my efforts in
Mr.. Cleveland's behalf, at the loss OF
many personal and valuable frinds, who,
since Mr.. Cleveland's election, fail to
recognize me in any way. Still / am
proud to say l am an admirer of Mr..
Cleveland, and was very proud of you as
his first choice in the Cabinet. l have
denied the truth of the statement, and it
is very important that l receive an early
acknowledgment of this letter, as l have
promised satisfactory proofs.
Very truly yours,
OSWALD s. SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 8, 1885.
To Os,cald r. Smith, Neeo York:
DEAR SIR have your letter of the
7th, inclosing cutting from the Irish
World, which purports to be an extract
from the correspondence of the Cleveldnd
Leader, and is entitled "Bayard and the
Negro" Your inquiry as to the truth OF
the statements contained is eminently
proper and just, and 1 readily answer
that the correspondence does not contain
one word of truth, but is a tissue OF
malicious and silly falsehood from be-
ginning to end. It is hardly fair, how
ever, for man in public station to ex-
pect immunity from assaults from the
class who insert such ISLANDERS, or the
profligate which gives them currency.
Yours respectfully,
T. F. BAyARD.
