The lIazen Court Martial


WASHINGTON, March 16.-Gen. Hazen
testified in his own behalf before the
court martial to-day. lie admitted writing
the articles in controversy, but said he in
tended no disrespect or discourtesy to the
Secretary of War lie gave as a reason
for making the statements that he had
been held to a most serious responsibility for
not effectively rescuing the Greedy party;
that it had been published all over the
world that he was at fault, and that in his
own defense he simply wished To state
that Greely could have been rescued and
that he Hazen) did all in his power to
have him rescued. The Secretary of War
in his annual report had largely con
firmed the opinion expressed in the press
that he Hazenj was responsible for the
death of these men. The report either
made him wilfully cnlpable or neglectful
and Inefficient in his work. Neither was
it true that he wrote letters simply to re-
lieye himself of that blemish upon his
record, which the Seeretary's report wrong
fully placed there.
In an argument upon an objection,
Judge Mackey, counsel for Gen. Hazen,
said: we know that the prosecution
does not want to touch Cape Sabin. The
accuser does lot want to face those horrors.
We propose TO show the animus of the ac-
cuser that he was imbued with malice,
deep and deadly. against the chief signal
officer. He became blind upon any ques-
tion touching Arctic matters, suggesting q
deep, tireless hate; that, indeed, his very
body exhaled malice whenever the chief
signal officers name was mentioned
When the attention of the witness was called
to the fact that his letter TO the Secretary
dated February 18th last was endorsed by
the Secretary as having been received at
the War Department February 26th, and
also 10 the tact that a statement concern
ing the contents of this letter Was pub
lished in the Chicago Tribune February
25th, and asked where the letter was kept
prior TO February 26th
Gen. Hazen replied that il was kept in
his desk.
Judge Mackey asked whether within
recent period official letters had not been
purloined from desks in the signal Office
and taken To the Secretary of War.
The Judge Advocate objected to this.
Judge Mackey said the purpose of the
defense was To negative the presumption
that the accused circulated the contents of
\ MS lttttI. ne salu ne pIolloSeu 10 ShON
that letters had been purloined from desks
in the signal Office and taken to the Seere-
/ tary of War by the person purloining
them. and that that person received special
employment after purloining the letters.
/ He said he wanted to show the general
/ course of the administration with refer
ence to the chief signal officer; that moth
ing was safe or sacred in the office of the
chief signal officer from the hands of the
i Secretary OF War, day or night.
/ The Judge Advocate said he did not feel
I called upon TO reply TO the insinuations OF
the counsel in respect to the Secretary of
War That official, he said, needed no de-
fense at his hands, and the attacks upon
him was in very bad taste to say the least

And for one sanity face knew
All babe are fair
Because oG two wide, earnest

Which looked with yearning gaze

All eyes now fill mine own with tears

Because OF little death-nsrked lips
Which once did call

No voices fall
Upon my ear in vain appeal
From children small.

To clasp each baby hand stretched out
In fear Of foe.
The lowest cannot plead in vain,

The Cattle Syndicate.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The Okla
homa question is being further considered
by the administration, and Gen. Weaver
and Hon. Sidney Clarke, representing the
settlers, are here earnestly urging imme-
siiate action. II is probable that a conclu-
sion will be reached in a very short time,
possibly tomorrow, as the situation in
Southern Kansas is considered critical.
Information received here tonight shows
that the settlers are very much exasper-
ated because the cattlemen claim that the
action of the government leaves them in
exclusive possession. The Oklahoma and
Indian Territory representatives of the
the settlers here understand that pro-
clamation requires the removal of all
cattle syndicates.

PORTLAND, Ore, March 1s.-In the
United States Circuit Court to-day Judge
Deadly decided the case of the Oregon
Railway Company limited and the Scotch
Narrow Gauge railroad against the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company. The
former company brought suit to recover
rents according to the terms of the lease
and to compel the defendants to operate
the leased lines. Judge Deadly gave judg-
ment for the plaintiffs for Sos, 900, the
amount of rent for six months. He held,
first, that the defendants could not be al
lowed to deny the plaintiffs corporate ex-
istence and power to make lease. Second,
that the defendants, under the corporate
act of Oregon and its own articles Of incor-
poration, had power to take the lease and
to make a contract to pay rent for 80 years.
This decision is final, so far as the lower
court is concerned. The case will probably
be appealed to the United States Supreme
Court on writ of error

DENVER, March 1s.-A special TO the

says: BY order of the President detaeh-

afternoon and escorted to Las Vegas, for
safe keeping, the besieged officers, Lee,
Kimberly, Hixenbaugh, slayers of the
three desperadoes Roger, CurTie, Red River
Tom. in their attack on the officers in the
jail on Monday last. While many of the
cowboy avengers left town last night
many still remain, determined TO avenge
the death of their comrades as soon as
the officers make their appearance. OF this
the latter were advised, hence the request
of the Governor for military escort out of
town. On the arrival of the train the in
habitants flocked to the housetops, and
the greatest excitement prevailed, as IL
was expected an attack would be made on
the soldiers and an attempt made to seize
the officers and hang them. No demon
strations were made, however. The train
arrived at Las Vegas at o'clock this morn
ing. The desperate Currie was the same
who shot and killed the actor Porter some
years ago.

Relief from the First Application.

When a person has suffered the I'M

clans have failed, and when a liniment

to cause thinking people to pause and
consider if bottle of it ought not to
be in immediate readiness in every

aches and pains that affiict mankind.

To the Teachers of Warren County

To the Standard:
Many Teachers Institutes will be
held during the month of June and
July. Many plans have been devised
to improve our commen schools, and
to excite greater interest in the cause
of education. Our county superin-
tendents expect that teachers will
strive to improve themselves, and that
they will use great efforts to elevate
the standard of education.
1t would be we'll if every teacher in
Warren county could attend a summer
normal, for one month, either at Lewis
burg, Winchester, Knoxville, or some
other place in the state. But the ex>
pense resulting from an attendance of
one month at either of the normal
schools in the State is so great that it
will debar nearly all the teachers in
Warren county from attending any
one of them. The expense at VIM
chester (Which is probably less than at
any other normal in the State) will be
