AscSs - Lewis TROUBLE
HIS DRINKING HABITS PROBABLY TO BE
BROUGHT BEFORE A COURT-MARTIAL.
Rev. j. Vaughn Lewis, post chaplain in the
army, stationed at Omaha, has got into trouble
flate through an uncomfortable appetite for
strong drink. He has more than once been
put under arrest for drunkenness, the last time
on record being onlylast month. a courtmartiaa
ordered by the department commander to meet
at Fort Omaha leads to the impression at the
War department that Rev. Mr.. Lewis is to be
tried by court-martial No other officer has
been placed under arrest at Omaha recently
and the fact that the court is composed Of
the full complement of officers, thirteen,
shows that an officer is to be tried, and is a
strong indication that his commission is en-.
dangered. AS the court is ordered by the de-
partment commander, there will be no record
of its proceedings forwarded to the War depart
ment, except In case the accused is sentenced
to dismissal.
Mr.. Lewis is well known in Washington,
having been the rector of st. Johns church
from 1865 to 1879. He was appointed chap
lain in the army by President Arthur, Deem
Der II, 1888, it is said. through the influence OF
the Ffelinghuysens.

THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN RETURNS TO PRINCE
TON WITH HIS FATHER-THE WRONG MAN
SAID TO HAVE BEEN EXPELLED.
Alexander Britton, Of this city, the Princeton
sophomore, who with others of his class was
expelled from the college, as it was alleged, on
account of engaging in hazing arrived home
last evening. He left for Princeton this morn
ing, accompanied by his father, Mr.. A. T. Brit
ton, who received notice Of his sons expulsion,
but the notice stated no reason for the action of
the faculty. Young Britton stated that he had
taken no part in the hazing of the freshman,
Alexander; and that when Alexander was
being hazed he was not present, but was play
ing ball on the college ground. The first day of
the college session, twelve of the sophomOres
were caught by the proctor while hazing some
OF the freshmen. In order to secure the liberty
ofthese twelve men, the entire sophomore class
signed pledge to abstain from haZing, and
not to engage in the cane rush. Britton says
he abided by this pledge honorably, and that
he endeavOred to dissuade others OF his class
mates from taking part In hazing enterprises.
MIR. Britton's friends say that young Alexander
himself will state that Britton took no part in
hazing him. They say also that the news
papers have greatly exaggerated the whole
matter.

Situation Still Critical.
SPECIAL Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Sept. 26.-The announcement of q
conference OF the powers, probably at Constan-
tinOple, and q special cabinet council, have
Gained the general anxiety in regard to the
eastern situation. Nothing new is to be gath
cred from the utterances of diplomatists.
Lord Salisbury, who Is nicknamed the "Uplo-
matist of Dieppe," preserves a strict silence.
The outburst of indignation at the rumor of his
intended interference in behalf of Turkey,
must have convinced him that he is
helpless. Meantime every telegram brings
news Of further developments in the east.
Even the rumor of the assassination of King
Milan has gained considerable credence. The
dismissal of the Turkish MINISTRY has no
special meaning. Somebody had to be the
scapegoat for the recent events. Unless Prince
collision, or Macedonia breaks out, a peaceful
solution is possible. The papers here, however,
all describe the situation extremely critical,
and says no time is to be lost. Diplomacy must
be quick.
