A MILITARY AUTOCRAT.
The President Reverses the Decision of
Court Martial.

An order of the Secretary of War transmitted
to Gen. Ruger at st. Paul yesterday says: "By
direction Of the President the unexecuted por-
ton of the sentence in the case of Dell P. Wild.
late private troop +. eighth cavalry, is RENTED
in recognition Of the fact that the punishment
adjudged was excessive in q very marked
degree. The prisoner was ordered ty the
second lieutenant of his troop, N. F. Steele, to
assist him in placing q canvas upon a shed.
He refused to do so upon the ground that
he did not enlist to do such work. He
was cursed and struck by the officer, soon
thereafter placed in confinement and
brought before q court-martial, of which
Lieut.. Steele was the judge advocate, con-
victed of disobedience of orders and SEN
fenced to dishonorable disharge. with for
feiture of all pay and allowance, and confine-
ment in the military prison at Fort Smelling
for one year. No action appears to have
been taken against Lieut. Steele, whose
breach of discipline was of an aggravated nature.
1t is also grossly improper that Lieut.. Steele
should have been detailed as judge advocate of
the court Tue President does not believe this
case to be, nor does he think it Just to the army
that it should appear to be, fair illustration
OF the administration Of military justice.

SAYS 1T is A FALSEHOOD.
The Clerk Of the Florida Court Replies

Senator Chandler today received the follow

United States district court at Jacksonville.
Fla:
ut having been stated on the floor Of the
Senate that the principal lhw-breakers in
Florida are officers of the United states courts,
desire to brand this as an utter falsehood,
which for five months has been published
by venomous, ultra-partisan press
for the purpose of covering up the real issue.
Not caring how much they melted their tools
to commit murder as long as they could cover
up their friends, they have kept this up until
my life and other members Of the court are
not any more safe than Saunders
was in some localities This l am
ready to prove by democratic testimony

committee will investigate this entire matter
the election frauds and the court-neither the
republicans Of Florida nor the people Of the
United States will be ashamed of us and can
assure you that if elections were conducted as
they are in Connecticut or New Hampshire,
none of the present delegation in
either House from this state would be
misrepresenting us. / have been clerk of these
courts for nearly twenty years. have never
been charged with any crime until now. I
made up the present jury in every particular
and drew il the same as all other juries during
