during the recess that Major Lydecker would
be unable to appear before the court, as he
was still held before the congressional COM
mittee. The court, therefore, decided to con-
tinue the reading. Capt. Chester announced that
to the court that the testimony of Gems. New
ton and Duane, ex-chiefs of engineers, would
be valuable in view of their long experience in
engineering affairs, but that he Major Ly-
decker was not willing to call them on his own
behalf. as he does not wish to put himself in
the position of a defendant. Gen. Ruger made

Davis that Inspector Lucas had expressed a
desire to him to 60 upon the stand again in
order to make a statement. The recorder
communicated this to the court, but Gen.
Ruger said that he did not believe

ton of a specially-adapted building. and that

be obtained for the renting of buildings of suf-
tcient capacity.
WORK UPON THE NEW OBSERVATORY

The staff vacancies in the army which are
awaiting the Presidents action continue to be
subject of speculation in army circles and
there is great uncertainty about the coming
appointments except one. and that is the sue
cessor of the late Major Farnsworth in the in
spector generals Office. 1t is considered al
most as good as settled that Capt John G..
Bourke, of the third cavalry, will be the man.
He was such close second to Capt. Lawton in
the recent appointment that it is thought
hardly likely that he can be passed by again
1t is said that his conceded ability and the
favor in which he is held generally make Kim
leader in the race. He is on duty in the War
department
