ness managed to bring about the exposure.
Herman Clark, of the firm of O'Brien &

engaged in the work were for the Demo

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Beck
today. introduced bill providing for the
formation of commission, to consist of
the secretary of the interior, the president
of the board of commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia and the secretary of the
Smithsonian institute, to select a tract of
land not more than 100 acres in extent
along the shores of Rock Creek, a stream
separating Washington from Georgetown,
such land to be used for the purposes of a
national geological park.
Senator Brown today introduced bill
intended as an amendment to the inter
state commerce law. 1t provides that any
shipper who shall misrepresent the
character, weight or value of his ship
meats with view of securing lower rates
than are charged to other shippers of like
property, shall be guilty of a misdemean-
or, and shall be punished as prescribed by
the interstate commerce act Any rail
road company or common carrier which
shall receive shipments knowing them to
be misrepresented as above referred to
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and be
punished accordingly.
Confrmations-Leu Colonel c.
B. Comstock to be colonel major; J. A
Smith to be lieutenant colonel; Brigadier
General Geo. Crook to be major general;
Col. j. r. Brooke to be brigadier general.
In disappearing the sentences of dis
missal in the cases of Captain j. A Ohm
stead, Ninth cavalry, and First Lieutenant
Montgomery ID. Parker Ninth cavalry,
the president said in his order that: AN
examination of the cases, tried by che
same court martial, has fully convinced
me that condition exists at Fit Du
Chesne that must, if allowed to continue,
result in scandal and Decentralization. This
condition should and must be promptly
corrected by more effective plan than the
approval of court martial proceedings
which rest on suspicious and weak evil
dence and which, it may well be feared,
originated in questionable motives"
1t has been practically decided at the
war department to assign Major General
Crook to the command of the division of
the Missouri, with headquarters at Chi
cago, and an order to that effect viii prob
ably be issued in day or two.
1t is said that Major General Howard
commanding the division of the Pacific de-
sired to be transferred to the Missouri,
but that it was found that the interest of
of the service could be subserved better by
retaining him at San Francisco. and as
signing the new major general to the di-
vision of the Missouri, the duties of which
command have been performed by Lieu
tenant General Sheridan at Washington,
from the time that Major General Terry
was granted leave of absence.
