UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS.
First Lieut.. Cushman Reduced in
Rank and Fined.

The arrest and trial by general court
martial of First Lieut.. Herbert Cush-
man, Twentieth infantry, at Fort As
sinniboine, Mont, charges of disobe-
dience of orders and conduct to the
prejudice of good order and discipline,
has created a sensation in the Depart
to the late Roscoe Conkling, and Sc
cured his appointment to the army in
1865 as a second lieutenant by President
Grant through the influence of friends
in Philadelphia, Of which city he is
native. While on duty with battalion
Of his regiment at battalion drill,
Lieut. Cushman refused to obey the
orders of his superior officer,
Maj. Daniel d. Van ValZah, and
when ordered to proceed to his quarters
under arrest openly inSulted Van Val
zah and defed his authority. Upon
trial Lieut.. Cushman pleaded not guilty.
The court martial, however. found him
guilty Of both charges, and imposed the
following sentence: TO be reduced in
rank so that his name shall appear OH
the army register as fifth instead of first
in the regimental list of first lieutenants,
and to be confined to the limits of the
post where his company may be serving
for one year; also to forfeit to the
United States 500 per month for one
year. Gen. Kruger, in reviewing the
proceedings of the court, confirms the
finding and sentence, except that he re-
duceS the fine to $75 per month, and
orders the sentence thus mitigated to be
executed. The case is a peculiarly I'M
fortunate one for both the regiment and
the culprit. Aside from his fine of 5000.
Lieut.. Cushman, being the ranking first
lieutenant, would have been promoted
to a captaincy In less than thirty days,
upon the retirement of Capt William
II. Maize. He drops from No. to No.
on his regimental list, while i'll the
linesl list Of first lieutenantS Of III
fantry he loses ninety-nine files.
Mai. Leonard Y. Loring, surgeon, has
been granted six months extension of
leave of absence.
Second Lieut.. Henry P. Mccain, Third
infantry, now at Fort Smelling, has been
detailed by the president as professor
of military science and tactics at the
Louisiana State University and Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college, Baton
Rouge. La, and ordered to report in
person to the SUPERB ntendent thereof
without delay.
The superintendent of the general re-
cruiting service has been ordered to
prepare and forward to such point OF
points in the department. of the Mis-
souri, as the commanding general there

Sixth infantry. A similar order has
been issued for the preparation OF

OUT OF THE MESHES.
Editor Burns Not Guilty of Black,
mail.

By decision of Judge Schoonmaker,
Editor Burns, of the st. Paul Herald,
charged by John Il. Black with black
mail, is again a free man. The case
came up for trial yesterday, the munich
pal court room being packed with
curious spectators. About fifty wit
nesses subpenaed by the defense, and
large number for the prosecution, occu-
pied the space inside the rail. The
prosecution having previously rested
their case. the trial opened yesterday
with the testimony for the defense.
Attorney Knittle, of Minneapolis. took
the stand and testified as to the reputa-
ton of Detectives King and Quinlan,
after which the defendant testified in
his own behalf. The principal point of
his testimony was a denial that
he had had ever received any
money from the detectives for
suppressing the publication of any mat
ter rejecting on the character of Chief
Black. The receipt for 500 produced
by the prosecution he declared was
forgery. After the hearing of Burns
testimony the court adjourned until 2
o'clock, when the state was granted
permission to slightly amend the COM
plant and reopen the case for the pros
ecution. Qninlan was again sworn. but
there was nothing new gained from his
testimony. Attorney Johns moved for
dismissal of the case on the ground
that there was insufficient evidence to
convict.
The court sustained the motion, stat
ing that there was not sufficient testi-
mony upon which the defendant could
be held TO the grand jury, and that
there was no evidence that. would war
rant the grand jury III finding an in
dictment against him.
The crowd was evidently made up of
friends CT the defendant. as the de-
cision of the court dismlssing the case
was greeted with boiSterous applause,
and it was several minutes before order

The Way to Go East.

10. The way to 60 East from Chicago is
Shy way of the Pennsylvania Lines.
1.-THE management OF this remarkable
system of railways manifests its con-
slant vigor in the continual improve
ment of tracks, bridges and rolling
stock, and in the details of transporta-
ton, the successful handling of which
contributes in no small degree to the
total success of a railroads operation.
The Pennsylvania Lines are short and
direct to Baltimore, Washington, Phila-
delphia and New York, and their
through train service to these cities
is the best that has ever been
known. Five excellent trains leave
Chicago every day-the PENNSYLVANIA
Special at 1880 a. m. the Fast Line at
3:15 D. M, the Pennsylvania Limited at
500 p. M, the Eastern Express at S:15
p. m. and the Atlantic Express at II 80
D. m. The Pennsylvania Limited is the
magnificent Pullman Yestibule train
that runs through to New York in
twenty-five hours and in time proper
tionately short to other seaboard cities.
Pullman Vestibuie Buffet and Sleeping
cars are carried on all trains.

TOW BOATS TIED UP.
The Grand Lake Coal Compar

The Grand Lake Coal Company
Clutched by Hungry Creditors.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 15.--The Grand
Lake Coal company, one of the largest
coal firms in this city, has confessed
judgments for $4,000 in favor of Isaac
S. Van Voorhis in trust for certain cred
itors. The sheriff made levy to-day
on three of their tow boats, the Samuel
j. Miller, j. S. Mercer and j. A. Black
more, and they will be sold next Friday.
The extent of the failure is not known.
The firms property. which runs up into
the hundreds of thousands. is distrib-
uted along the river, from this city to
/ the Gulf of Mexico, and the announce
,ment of the failure -oecasioned great
surprise among the coal men of this
city. The embarrassment, it is said,
dates back to last August, when the
great storm at New Orleans destroyed
large amount of the company's coal and
craft. The members of the finn are
John and James Williams and Thomas
Patterson. The company was a mem
der OF the Pittsburg d Southern coal
combination, but other members of the
latter concern say that the loss to it will
not be heavy.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 15.-Sen-
ator Dawes, from the committee on In
dian affairs, yesterday reported without
amendment bill granting right of way
to the jamestown & Northern Railroad
company through the Devils Lake In
dian reservation in Dakota. The bill
will pass the senate inside of a week,
and also pass the house.
81 see no reason why we may not pass
the bill opening the Sioux reservation"
said Senator Dawes this afternoon when
it was announced that the bill had
passed the house. II under
stand" he continued. ''that the bill
as amended provides for obtain
ing the consent of the Indians.
That is. as | advised you last December.
a prerequisite for the passage of the
bill. InaSmuch as the Indians are to
be permitted to decide the question. it
seems to me that the bill ought to be
passed and approved now within a
week or ten days" The senator has
effectively crushed all ideas of the
possibility of securing legislation upon
this measure without his consent, and
he seems happy and amiable.
