THE EUROPEAN MISSIONS.

Warner Miller Said to be President Har-
 rison's Choice for England-Whiteiaw
 Reid, Murat Halstead and John c. New
 Down for Other Posts.
 NEW YORK, March 15.--A W Washington special to the Mail and Express says The man the President has in mind for the English mission is Warner Miller, of New York. This explains his objection to Whitelaw Reid for that post and his desire to give the New York editor any other court. The situation is such that Whitelaw Reid may decline to go abroad in any capacity, claiming the English mission or nothing. Murat Halstead is pretty sure to get the German mission. France is held open for MT. Reid, or he can have Germany if he says so, and Mir. Halstead will get France. John c. New is to go to Austria. The adjournment of tho Senate until Monday has upset a thousand calcula- tions, and made those nervous who sup posed yesterday that their men would go in to-day.

 MILITARY TRIBUNALS.
How General and Garrison Courts Martial
 Are Conducted.

AEe AunuuCteUs
 The Articles of War; provide for the trial by courts-martial of all per. sons under the control of the military authorities of the country who may be accused of offenses committed against the regulations and laws enacted for the government of tbe armies of the United States. Unlike the practice ir civil life, the combined powers of both judge and jury are vested in the officers composing q court-martial, they delib- erating upon the evidence of the wit nesses, determining as to the guilt or innocence of the defendants, and pass ing sentence upon culprits. An officer is appointed as Judge-Advocate, whose duties are to conduct the prosecution as we'll as to act as counsel for the ac- cused when the latter has no legal ad- wiser of his own, and to object to any questions that might lead to an answer on the part of the defendant tending to criminate himself
 So-called general courts-martial are convened for the khearing and iudg- ment of important cases and for the trial of commissioned officers, and may be appointed by any general officer commanding a separate army or de- partment. Such a court consists of thirteen members, unless the exigen- cies of the service prevent the assem- bling of that number of officers; but in no case may general court have less than five members
 Garrison and regimental courts-mar- tial, having three members, are ap- pointed by the commanding officer of any post or regiment, and are con vened for the trial of minor offenses on the part of any of the enlisted men forming the command. As the law now stands, even the slightest infringe ment of the rules of discipline calls for action by court-martial, and such petty breaches of good conduct as ab- sence from roll-call or from quarters after ''taps," slovenly or untidy dress, quarrelsome or abusive language to comrades or non-commissioned officers, etc., the penalty for which is usually the imposition of slight fine to be stopped from the soldiers pay, are treated with all the form and cere- mony of trials for grave offenses. The sworn testimony of the witnesses, &C., cording to the rules of evidence, must be reduced to writing. and report made of the proceedings in each case, as the regulations prohibit the execu- tion of any sentences by a court-mar- tial until it's action is confirmed by the officer ordering the court. When the fact is taken into consideration that according to the report of Colonel Lieber, Acting Judge-Advocate-Gen- eral, there were 10,447 trials before garrison courts during the past year in an army the total peace footing of which is limited by law to force of but 25, 900 men, it would seem that system less cumbersome and less irk- some to both officer and men might be devised by which petty violations of regulations could be punished sum- marily without injustice to the sol- dier r-Harper's Weekly.

Aroused, as Robinson is Believed to Have
 Been Innocent.
 TExARKASA, Ark, March 15.--The wild est excitement ever witnessed here was caused last evening by the report that the body of J. E. Robinson had been found hanging near the water tank, half a mile west of town. An investigation, however, failed to find the body, but it is hinted that the matter is being kept quiet on purpose to shield certain parties thought to have been participants in the supposed lynching. Although at this writing no one can be found who will say that he viewed the body, some think it was found and afterward spirited away. Rob- inson will be remembered as the young man who was arrested on March charged with cTiminally assaulting the eight year old daughter of Thomas Tierney and afterward taken from the officers by mob and not seen since. The mob gave out that they only flogged him severely, but as he has not returned to his home, fifteen miles distant. the gravest fears are entertained by his friends. He bore an excellent character, and 1t is not be- lieved that he was guilty, as he was charged. Bad blood has existed for long time between Texarkana and the vicinity in which Robinson resided, and his friends are wrought up, and de- nounce the outrage in the strongest terms. It is feared the trouble is not yet over.

He himself very seldom knows, and the human imagination is weak, indeed, when it contemplates a big aggrega- tion of dollars. Most of the people in this country can not understand the sensation of owning Sl00 in lump. It used to be a common saying that A. T.

 There is a member of Congress from Massachusetts whose close friends range from $4,0O0, ,000 to $250, 900 in estimating his wealth. But on the basis of popular guesses the figures of Senatorial wealth that l saw to-day footed up $139, 900, 900.

 VICTORIA, B. C., March 15.--A man sup posed to answer the description of Tas- colt, the murderer of Millionaire Shell, of Chicago, has been arrested at Nanai- mo. He gave his name as Charles Palmer. He arrived on the noon train yesterday, and his suspicious actions at once drew the attention of the officers. He engaged a boatman to row him to Gibriola Island, telling the latter he was hunted and wanted to escape from his pursuers. A storm coming up, the voy- age was not made, and Palmer then of- fered liveryman twenty dollars to drive him out of town as far as possible. While preparing to leave, Palmer was arrested. He shows indications of insanity.

Probably thousands of people in this sec. tion of country, and this section is no eX- ception to any other in this respect in the United States, have read the report said to have been written by Prof. s. A. Lattimore, Ph. D., IL. D., Analyst of Foods and Medl- cines, New York State Board of Health and Professor of Chemistry in the Rochester, N.

e street Lights.

Mr.. Z. b. Humphreys who has for years
kept burning a lamp suspended from either
end of his building at the corner of Main
street and East Avenue which are lighted
every night in the year from dark till day
light, and at many times are the only ones
lighted within the borough limits, has add
ed four additional street lamps and one
in his yard at the rear of his store.
Three of these are IN the west side of the
street. and one on East Avenue about $50
feet from the corner. The lamps are a
great improvement on those in use by the
borough authorities, and possibly don't
cost the taxpayers half as much money,
the cost being 1925 a piece. If any one
outside of the councilman who furnishes
these in use by the borough knows wheth-
er they cost our people five or fifteen dol
lars each, we will be glad to bear from
them. Although Mr.. II. is the largest tax
payer within the borough, and with only
one exception in the township, he lights
these with his own oil, and cares for them
without any cost to any one but himself.
The posts on which these are set are of red
cedar nicely turned, and painted white.
This last idea would be q good one for our
councilmen to initiate. If they would
paint theirs white, people would not take
the risk of running into them when they
are lighted.
