THE STORY OF HIS WRONGS.
Captain Armes Testifies and Tells How He
Was Insulted.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Captain Armes
took the witness stand to-day before the
Armes court martial board and testified in
his own behalf He said that General
Barnum had invited him to become a mem
Der of his staff, but he had declined as he
expected to serve on Governor Beavers
staff. He made application in writing for
a place on Governor Beavers staff, and on
which he accepted. A few days later,
several gentlemen We're, on his recon-
mendation, appointed on the governors
staff On February %, General Hastings
told the witness that his appointment was
a mistake, and when the witness asked why
his name had been taken from the list,
General Hastings said he did not want to
talk about it.
Captain Armes said he then sent letter
demanding written explanation. General
Hastings in reply wrote that the witness
had not been appointed on the staff. He
called at inauguration headquarters next
day, and after some words, General Hast
ings lost his temper and ordered the wit
ness out of the office, but afterwards apollo
gized. Subsequently the witness was ten
dered a commission as special aide, which
brought him nearer the President.
While riding alongside the Vice-Pres-
ident's carriage, MIR. Morton and Senator
CullOm bowed to him, and he returned the
salute. Captain Gibson and Captain
Bour1e dashed up at this instant, and in a
boisterous and drunken condition ordered
the witness out of the parade and called on
the police to aid in ejecting him. Next day
he swOre out a warrant against Captain
Bourke and sent it to Lieutenant Guy.
Three days after his brother told him the
case had been nOlle prosecuted the day be-
fore on account of lack Of witnesses.
He then went to see the acknowledgement,
and after being informed that Captain
Bourke had preferred charges against him,
the witness said he would send letter pre-
ferring charges against Captain Bourke
and Colonel Gibson of assault on Governor
Beaver i'll the Riggs house. Armes tes-
titled that he urged Governor Beaver to
apologize to which the governor replied
that he (Armes) must bear in mind that he
was here as a private citizen and not as
governor of Pennsylvania; they were on the
same platform, but he did not propose to do
anything about the matter. As he turned
to 90 away, Armes reached up his hand to
stop him. The governor considered it an
insult, and some words followed.
The witness asked the court to notice if he
had reflected on Governor Beaver in the
letters he had written He added: But |
did not hesitate to reflect on General Hast
ings. 1 said he was not a gentleman. l
should have added that he was liar and a
coward"
In the course of a sketch of his career.
Captain Armes revealed the nature Of the
secret testimony given by Colonel Swords
and Sergeant alarms Canady. In effect
it was that ArInes was one of the ten
picked men sworn to secrecy who were to
act as a special body guard Of the President.
| His orders were secret, and even Governor
Beaver did not know about them.

the Indians rejected, chiefly because of the
unsatisfactory price and terms of the pay

be coded Hereunder.
The points of difference are summarized
as follows: Pine Ridge agency to be ex-
tended east eighteen or twenty miles, ana
Rosebud reservation to be correSpondlngly

and is given the benefit of and made subject
to the laws of the state or territory within
which he resides Heads of families who
desire to take allotments on the ceded
lands will receive 800 acres instead of lG0,

Especial 10 THE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Sher-
man is not disposed to pick up the gauntlet
thrown down by Senator Quay, of Pennsyl-
yania, over the appointment Of eX-Con-
gresham Hart as solicitor for the internal
revenue bureau. Notwithstanding that the
Pennsylvania Senator to-day dictated the
following for Pennsylvania publication: Il
consider Senator Sherman's actions as dis
creditable and dishonorable, and when / am
found doing anything for Sherman again,
the people of the country will know 1t.
1t seems that both Senators had candidates
for the position of deputy commissioner OF
internal revenue.
QUAY stated that Sherman asked him to
withdraw his mauin favor of the Ohio can
didate, promising in return to support
PENNSYLVANIA man for the SOlicltOrShlp OF
the bureau. Quay agreed to this, and went
home. Gilkeson, OF Ohio, was lappOinted
deputy commissioner, and Quay says 1t was
fully understood that Sherman should en-
dorse Frank WilllisOn, of Pennsylvania for
the solicitorship. But while he was away,
Alphonse Hart, of Ohio, was announced as
the Presidents intended selection for sOic-
itor of internal revenue, and for this action
Quay holds Sherman responsible.
Senator Sherman says the Pennsylva-
MAN has gone on II a Mt, ana Will feallZe
his mistake when he cOOlS off.
- Il have no knowledge of any agreement
with him. said the Ohio Senator last night,
land was in Ohio when the appointment
of Mr. Hart was made. l never urged the
appointment of Mr.. Hart to the position.
The Ohio delegation recommended him for
assistant attOrney-gene place he is
abundantly qualified to fill, for he is very
ableman and fitted for a much higher posi-
ton While I was away it seems that the
President and the attorney general decided
to offer Dir. Hart the sOlicitorship Of the
internal revenue. which he had not asked
for and for which Senator Quay had a can
didate. Mr.. Hart on looking at the matter
and seeing that the salary was the
same, although the duties are less
pleasant, decided to accept, and did so. We
could not control the President and the
attorney general. They might have taken
some outside man, as they often do. be
lieve SanatOr Quay's claim is that he with
drew his candidate for assistant commits
sioner Of internal revenue, Mr.. GilkesOn,
and so assured the appointment of Mr..
Hart, of Ohio. Mr.. GilkesOn was then
presented as a candidate for the solicitor
ship, and Ohio presented no candidate
against him. What passed between the
President and Mr.. Hart was beyond our
power to control.
Il think Senator Quay will understand
this when he considers the matter. / would
not say an unkind word about him, because
] have been mad myself sometimes without
Pod reason"

A BAD STORY.
One of the Danmarks Passengers Tells How
UnseaN orthy the Slip Was.

New YoRK, April 20 -Olof Wgg!und one
of the few English speaking people in the
party of the Dannia-k's passengers which
arrived here today, said that before the
accident occurred one of the Norwegian
emigrants told him he had overheard con-
versation in the officers quarters One of
the ships officers said to the others in the
apartment that he thought the vessel would
never reach New York. Her machinery
was in bad order and had not received the
care it should have had before the steamer
started. Her pumps were broken, and in
case of accident would be found of little
service.
ssI'm afraid the Danmark's officer is re-
psrted to have said, ''we'n meet the fate of
the Geiser." The Geiser was the vessel of
the same line sunk off Nova Scotia by col
lision with the Thingvalla year ago.
Wuglund further said the vessels coal
boxes were aire on two occasions before
the machinery gave out. The first fire oc-
Cured o'clock on the night of the 29th of
March. The second at $3.50 in the afternoon
of the following day. The passengers heard
of both fires and showed more uneasiness
over this comparatively slight accident
than when the vessel became totally dis
abled. Wuglund is loud in his praise of
the captain and crew of the Missouri which
rescued the Danmark's passengers.

An Official View.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The secretary of
the interior to-day received telegraph re-
ports from the department inspectors sta

Everything is quiet here. A good class of
people is in charge of affairs. The Guthrie
land Office is in full operation. Kingfsher
will open about Thursday. The people will
settle the townsite question quietly, and
await legislation to perfect their titles.
There is absolutely no ground for admins
trative uneasiness. The public meeting
here tonight is as orderly and conservative
in character as it would be in New York"

Attempt to Rob Bank in Bright, Broad
Day Light.

VENTURA, Cal, April 23.-To-day at noon
bold attempt at bank robbery was made
by man named Mccarthy who was
recently discharged from the county hos
pital.
He entered Collins & Sons bank
while Cashier Collins was gone to
lunch, leaving Jack Morrison alone,
and complained of his poverty and
the desperation which had driven
him to think of suicide. He laid package
on the counter which he said was dyna-
mite, and drew q six-shooter and de
manded $50, 600 Morrison lodged behind
the counter and ran out Of the back doors
The rebbeR then siezed tray
containing about four hundred dol
lars, and walked into the street
Morrison gave the alarm and people gath
cred in the street. The thief had a horse
hitched near the bank, and was making for
that when the sheriff, who happened to be
near, but without firearms, stepped into
hardware store and seized a shot gun.
The robber surrendered. All the money
was recovered except twenty dollars,
which was probably lost on the strecas.

Prosperity in ENGLAND.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Consul- General
Waller at London, in report to the de-
partment OF state, says there has been a
general revival of the trade and commerce
of the United Kingdom since his return.
He says it clearly shows decided improve
ment, both in volume and character of the
business done in 1888, over the previous
year, and this increased prosperity promises
to continue, and is not confined to any par
ticular industry. 1t is apparently due to
legitimate trade and not to speculation. The

SUFFERING IN OKLAHOMA.
There is Neither Food, Water Nor Shelter There
for Many.

CHICAGO, April pa Daily Ne,Us' special
from Guthrie, Oklahoma, via Arkansas
city, says ''Guthrie is plunged into a
seemingly inextricable confusion. The
difference is between rival factions at this
place to control the town. The efforts of
half dozen public meetings to settle them
have been baff1ed. The excitement is at a
very high pitch and confidence is beginning
to waver. The suffering of $4,000 un-
sheltered and dnprovisioned people is
something that could be endured only
amid such a furore. The scenes by
day and by night are unexampled, Thou
sands are fleeing to the country and thou
sands more are filled with an uncertainty

Mexican Freight Rates.

NEW YORK, April pa reduction of so
per cent. in freight rates between New
York and Mexico has been made by the
railroads from this city. Rates are now 65
cents. The break was caused by the action
of the Ward line Of steamships which was
taking freight as low as 10 cents. 1t was
forced to this by the competition of the
Mexican subsidy Lopez line.

ClearIng New York OF Wires.

New YORK, April 23.-Broadway from
Twenty third to Thirty third streets is now
entirely cleared of poles. A gang is work
ing between Thirty third and Forty second
streets and expect to have that portion
cleared to-day.
This morning, Mayor Grant ordered all
telegraph and telephone wires on Broadway
from the city hall to Fourteenth street and
from Fourteenth to Fifty-ninth streets and
all sorts of wires taken down, except the
fire department. This will create havoc, as
the telegraph companies, especially the
Western Union, have important offices
along the route. 1t is believed that the
downtown business district will be at
tackled next, and Wall street is beginning
to be scared at the prospect of being cut off.
