WAsnlxoroS, Sept. 2i.--A few month";
ago It was reported from Pensacola, Fla.
that Sergeant Michael MeGauren, signal
officer at that station, had refused tc
recognize Q eolored man, named Green,
who had been appointed his assistant
and had gone down there from Waahing'
ton. McGauren had been notified thai
Green was coming, and was asked to se.
cure boarding house for him. McGau.
ren engaged room at his own boarding
house, and also made arrangements fol
Green to board there, but when he found
that his aSsiEtant was negro he refused
10 recognize or treat with him as such.
Wherenpon Mciauren was ordered "a
Washington by the Secretary Of War, and
Il was given out that the administration
would show the country that though Il
was Democratic Il would be patriotic, and
treat one class Of citizens ~ well as an
other.
AicGauren was brought to Washington
and with great eclat thrust into dungeon
st Fort Myer, while General Hazen, Chief
Signal Officer, preferred charges Of insub.

administration wanted 10 show that II

A lew weeks went by, and then the talk
about the prosecution OF McGaulen died
away, 70 be revived, rs it was thought,
when his trial came of. Chief Signal
Officer HALen went on Q trip TO
Europe, but 1t was understood that he
had done all be could to bring the man in
the Fort Myer dungeon to justice, In pre-
ierring the charge. There his duty ended.
A few more weeks skipped by, and the
time came for the trial, when lo!it was
suddenly discovered that the charges and
specifications against MeGauren had dis
appeared. Whittier they had gone no
one knew, and 1t was ruled that in the
absence Of the Chief Signal Officer there
was no one 10 prefer additional CHANGES.
So Meiauren went untried. Not liking
to thus drop the matter without eere-
mony IL was ordered that the sergeant
should be reduced to the ranks for time,
and then he was set at liberty. That is
all the punishment be Ia likely to receive.
It was stated that the charges were lost,
but il Is more probable that they were
quietly pteequ.holed, because the admin
issration did not want TO compel . man to

rights which . whise man is bound To re-

offend the great body Of Democrats Of the
country, and while there was . psessnse

tofore it has been generally understood
that these warrants were simply fraud

OnieeFH Of tho signal corps Investigating
the Causes OF tho Rseent Cyclone.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 2l.-oficera
Of the Signal Corps are investigating into
the causes of the recent series ottornadoes
in Ohio, one Of which swept away the
town of Washington Court House. They
have an idea that meteorologists have
long entertained wrong notions on the
subject ot storms, and among other things
that the theory advanced by Professor
Ferrol, which has been recognized as a
true one, is all wrong.
Professor Ferrol's theory is that the
cooling Of the atmosphere al o great height
causes it 10 condense and create a vacuum.
The air OF the lower strata OF the atmos-
phere, rushing up to I'll the vacuum, vio-
iently aYitates the air near the surface ot
the earth, and brings about the tornado.
It Is contended that this theory is wrong,
and for that reason careful invsstig atoms
are being made OF the facts concerning
every storm reported. 1t is believed that
balloons will be necessary 10 follow up
the Investigation.
CAPTIVE balloons would be employed.
The great velocity OF wind sometimes felt
at the top Of Mount Washington Is thought
10 be due TO the fact that the current up
the side OF the mountain Is added to that
OF the horizontal currents, and an incress-
ed momentum IS impaired. Should & bal
loon be anchored to the mountain and al.
lowed to drift away a few thousand feet
where the influence Of the earth in the
peak would not be felt, opportunity for
the testing OF Professor Ferrors theory
might be offered. Balloons could be an
chored at great heights in various parts OF
the country, and then comparison OF the
data acquired would reveal important re-
suits.

vienna, Sept. 2l.-An inspired article
in the Fremdenbtaa states that the union
istic tendency Of Bulgaria and Roumelia
has repeatedly attracted the serious atten'
ton Of political circles. The powers, the
paper says, continue to cherish the desire
to respect and maintain the treaty OF Ber-
Lin. The action OF Prince Alexander, Of
Bulgaria, in placing himself and his army
at the head OF the rising, constitutes q
grave violation Of international law.
Europe cannot for the benefit of single
Balkan State endorse the intraction Of
treaty rights, entailing disruption Of the
balance Of power, and the National polit-
ical forces OF the Balkan peninsula, as fixed
by the Berlin treaty. 1t spremature TO say
definitely what action will be taken by the
power, but il is certain the treaty will be
kept in the nArrowest possible boundaries.

Edward Cooper, who is recognized.as the

with the President during the summer,
and Hubert o. Thompson, Mr.. Coopsr's
staunchest hacker, has been given virtual

nothing is advanced to show that the Ad-
niinistration has taken any hand in the

does not look upon Governor Hill as q

been severely criticised for several acts as

II neard more talk OF union among

in Bulgaria. Ths question Of union
was forced upon the Rounelians by

steady at work building roads and rail-

1t is considered strange in view Of the
fact that Mr.. Washhurn appears TO be 80
