STEELE REPRIMANDED.
Lesson Taught by This Incident
Instructive to Army Clubs.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE official
announcement of the findings in the
case of Lieut.. Steele was made public
at the war department this morning.
After the finding of guilty the report
says: "And the court does therefore
sentence him, Second Lieutenant Mat
thew f. Steele, Eighth cavalry. to be
reprimanded in orders and to be con-
fined to the limits of the post where he
may be serving for the period of three
months" The court is thus lenient on
account of tho great provocation undre
which Lieut.. Steele acted, and his eX-
cellent character, as shown in evidence.
In approving the finding of the court,
Maj. Gen. Schotield, commanding,
says: "a temnorary loss of self
control in dealing with the NUT
inous conduct of soldier has
already resulted in subjecting Lieut.
Steele to the punishment of public and
official censure, to which little can be
now added by formal reprimand. The
lesson taught by this incident is in
structive to all young officers of the
army, by showing them the absolute
necessity of Self-command as Qualifi-
cation for the command of men. Abuse
of subOrdinateS by words OF blows can
not be tolerated under any circum-
stances. The United States army has
heretofore won unbounded confidence
by the cool, diSpasSionate manner In
which its duties have always been per-
formed, even under the most trying cir

WASHINGTON, April I1.--In the house
to-day, Mr.. Lacey, of Iowa, called up
the contested election case of Waddell

trlct, and made an argument III favor Of
Mr.. Waddell, the Republican contest

branched off into discussion of the

of the Caucasian race and eritlcising
the Republicans of the North for hav-

said that cOlOred men had frequently

Mr.. Greenhalge, of Massachusetts, and
Mr.. Bergen, of New Jersey, spoke In
favor of the contestant. and Mr.. Crisp,
of Georgia, gave an able presentation
of the case of Mr.. W Use, the sitting
member, from a legal standpoint. E. B.
Taylor, of Ohio, discussing the race
question, asked if the condition OF
affairs at the South could always re-
main so and the country exist. He
would rather have Democratic house,
honestly elected. than have affairs aa
the house, at o'clock, took a recess to
7:3O p. M, the night session to be for the
consideration of private pension bills.
The house at its evening session did
no business, but the few members pres

and y''War Claims" Mr.. Enloe, of Ten
nessee, gave notice that until the house
would allow private bills to be con-
sidered on Fridays he would allow no

long speech in favor of the
payment of Southern war claims.
MIR. Boothman, of Ohio, followed with
an exhaustive speech in reference to
pensions. Both gentlemen were con-
stantly interrupted and the house was
frequently in an uprOar, laughter and
excitement alternating. On several oc-
casions rather personal and unparlia-
mentary language was INDUCED in, but
the general good humOr of the house
prevailed and anger and indignation
were laughed down. The house al

The Coming Cold Wave May
Bring a Very Cyclonic
Condition.
A Drop Of Fifty-Six Degrees
Predicted by Sunday
Morning.
Yesterdays Heat Comes Like
the Fiery Breath of a
Siroeco,
But Behind 1t Is an Icy Blast
Direct From the
Pole.

If Minnesota escapes a cyclone within
the next forty-eight hours the people of
Minnesota may be duly thankful. The
conditions are all favorable for such a
catastrophe, and a note of warning has
been sent from the signal office at
Washington, and supplemented and
emphasized by bulletin from the local
office, at late hourlast night. The situa,
is easily explained. Yesterday a perfect
sirocco swept down upon the state, and
at O'Clock this morning was still with
us,with perfectly serene and clOudless
sky. At the same time an intense cold
wavels sweeping down from the pole,
carrying with it drop in the tempera-
ture from 80 to AZ degrees. This cold
wave is moving with great velocity.
When the cold stratum meets the SUPER
heated stratum there is likely to be
music. 1t is possible that the cold wave
may be diverted before it reaches US,
but it is best to be prepared. At 10:30
last night the following message was re-
ceived at the local signal office from
Gen. Greedy at Washington:
Hoist cold wave signal. Temperature will
fall to about % deg by a. m. on April 13.
This will be change of 50 deg from
8 p. IN. yesterday, and if verified may
be serious. Signal Officer Lyons last
night issued the following bulletin:
Yesterday the maximum temperature In
this city was S3 deg That is the highest on
record for the spring season up to date, and
with but one exception the highest April
maximum ever observed at the signal Office.
The exception was in 1887, when 81 deg.
was the record but then that was April 80,
or nineteen days further on towards summer.
There has been a radical fall in temperature
over the Montana, Manitoba, North Dakota
and the northern portion of this state during
the last twenty-four hours, the fall ranging
from 80 to AZ degrees The winds are from
the pole and moving at considerable speed.
Several local storms are predicted by the cenr
tral Office at Washington.

DAVENPORT, To-. April 11.--Early this
morning the body of man was found
on the side of the Rock Island road, a
mile east of Iowa city. The head was
fearfully beaten with club, and there
were signs of severe struggle. The
body has been identified as that of
Frank BolZer. He came TO Iowa City
with companion Thursday morning
from Homestead, To-, and they left that
afternoon for Davenport. They walked
because, as Bolzer told another man, he
was afraid his companion would rob
him and wished to be considered penni-
less. He also stated that he had left a
large sum of money with parties for

cumstances. This high character can
not be maintained if officers permit
themselves to be governed by feeling in
their official conduct toward each other
and the men under their command. 1t
proper to remark in connection with
this case that Lieut.. Steele
committed an unfortunate mis-
take in acting as prosecutor
in the trial of soldier with whom he
had had personal difficulty. This re-
suited from the accidental circumstance
that Lieut.. Steele was the judge advo-
cate of an existing court before which
this case was sent for trial. Although
the judge advocate of court martial is
not one of the judges who try the case,
and although there is no provision of
law for the challenge of judge advo-.
cate by the accused, yet nice sense of
perception and due appreciation of self
interest should suggest to an officer the
wisdom of requesting to be excused
from the duty of prosecutor under such
circumstances. Such a request would
of course be respected by the command
ing general who appointed the court"

way the record stands OH the registry of
ST. Louis county jail, but if rumors are
true it will be strange if the prisoner is
prosecuted for only larceny. The other
day Detective MAIDEN wired the Cloquet
officials to arrest one j. B. Bell, as he
was wanted in Duluth for the larceny
of coat. He received the following
terse reply: We've arrested him our
selves for stealing watch" Chief
Briggs, of West Duluth, is also anxious
to put bracelets on Bell for a similar
crime. Now graver charge has been
brought against him. Some time last
year the jail at Minot, Dak.,Was broken
by several prisoners, and among those
escaping was SAID to be this Bell. He
and companion were so badly wanted
that the officials offered a reward OF
$500 for their arrest. Bell will be tried
for his minor crime in few days, but
as soon as the Minot officers arrive he
will be surrendered to them.

WAYNEsBORo, Miss, April 1.-THE
trial of Rube Smith was resumed this
morning, and the. examination Of the
witnesses on the train robbery case was
completed ats o'clock this afternoon.
]. L. Lindley, of Lamar county, was
very unwilling witness for the state.
and came here under threat of
being attached. He would hesi-
tate when asked direct questions
by the district attorney and say Il
would rather not tell" The following
evidence was extracted from him. and
answers number of queries put to
him: Il boarded the train at Crueo, on
the Georgia Pacific, to accompany my
sister-in-law to Tupelo; Rube Smith
was on the train; this was Oct. II, last;
said that he had been working above
Birmingham and was going to
get off at Salligerto. the nearest
station to his fathers. l told
him he'd better not; that the sheriff was
looking for him, so he did not stop
but paid his fare on further. He had
several hundred dollars which he ex-
hibited to me-" After considerable
protesting on the part of witness,
he admitted that Rube said to him
he had recently been with Burrows.
James Smith, Rube's father. testi-
fed that RUDE was at home and
slept there the night of the
robbery, and was at home from
July to Oct 6. Jim Burker, an uncle
of Rube, testified to sleeping
with Rube the night of the robbery.
Rube was the last witness to testify.
On crosS-eXamination . the attorney
brought out these facts: [ am twenty
four yeors old; born in Lamar county;
farmed on my fathers place In the
years 1886 and 1887; made three bales
of cotton first and one bale the second
wear: in 1888 bills were gotten against
me for robbery and grand larceny; went
to Texas Feb. 1S, 1889: worked one month
and went into Indian territory; left
here July 10 0Eand returned to Lamar
county. Ala; made SIS a month out
there; had been dodging the sheriff in
Lamar county since 1888. He admitted
having money, but failed to explain
how he came by it. His evidence was
very conflicting. Argument in the case
began at o'clock this afternoon and
was concluded at IL tonight. When
McClung finished his testimony on the
Rube Smith trial this evening he was
rearrested and taken back to
jail on indictments found in
Lamar county charging him with
robbery, grand larceny and one or two
misdemeanOrs. Sheriff Metcalt, of
Lamar county, has been here since the
trial began with indictments and proper
requisitions, awaiting McClung's re-
lease as witness. The sheriff also has
four indictments against Smith for rob-
berry and grand larcency in Lamar
county, and in event of his acquittal
here will carry both men back to Lamar.
Smith and McClung were indicted for
beating an old farmer named Johnson
at his home, about twelve miles from
Vernon, and Iobbing him of S400. This
occurred in January. 1889.

the same technical charges, alleging
malfeasance in Office during the period

set up by the defense under the pre-
vious charge was insanity, and experts
have been giving testimony on this
point for some days. Yesterday the at
torneys for the government argued for
dismissal for want of jurisdiction in a
case where insanity was plea. De-
cision was reserved until to-day. In
the meantime these latter charges were
preferred and Fulton rearrested. He
will remain in custody without the al
tentative of bonds. To-day the point of
lack of jurisdiction was overruled and

for waht of evidence to warrant ver-
dict of insanity, and this was taken

Kelly saw August CIint,a convict, clean
ing lamps, he being tine only person in

did not stun him, and he again started
to get up to fight for his life, as he

rather kill him than run the chances OF
being caught and losing the liberty
which they intended to gain. AS
See started to get up both men

if he wanted to save his life he had

selves they went down stairs into the g
basement of the prison and, unlocking
a side door, made their escape into

the woods, towards New York city.
AS soon as Kelly and Feeny had disap-
peared Keeper See recovered enough to
sit up, and he began trying to free hlm-
self. With his fingers and teeth ne
managed to loosen the rope about his
legs. He then hastened to the prison
Office, where he told Warden Brush and
Deputy Warden ConnoughtOn what had
happened. The warden at once called

with carbines and revOlvers he dis
patched them to look for the prisoners.

Bronson and citizen named CharleS
Ambler discovered the fugitive prison
ers in the woods back of Long hill, three
miles from the prison. Bronson and
Amber Immediately raised their car
bines, and, covering their men, ordered
them to throw up their hands and sur
render, and if they did not they would
shoot. Both prisoners raised their
hands and submitted peaceably to be-
ing captured. They were handcutfed
fed and taken back to the prison. They
were taken into the warden'S office.
where their clothes were taken from
them and they were made to put on
their striped prison garps again and
were locked up. Keeper See, who is
nearly sixty years of age, had narrow
escape from death. his GOODNESS saved
him from further injuries. He knew
that if he resisted it meant death to
him. and he could run no chance in
fighting the two men.

OBNOXIOUS TO CATHOLICS.
Bitter Opposition to Manitoba's
New School System.

New School system.
Special to the Globe
WINNIPEG, Man., April 1.-THE
Catholics of this city have decided on a
programme of opposition to the new
national school system which goes into
effect Oh May l. They will econtinu
their separate schools as at present con-
stituted, ignoring completely the new
law, and ii the government attempts to
enforce the national system they will
apply to the courts for an Injunction
and fight the matter by legal processes
till it reaches the privy council of Eng
land if the case goes against them in
the Canadian courts. Lawyers who
have studied the law say it is not ap-
plicable, its provisions not being ample
for the merging of the assets and liza
bllitieS of the Protestant and Catholic
schools. The Catholics are very bitter
on this question, and there will un-
doubtedly be serious trouble before the
law is enforced. The clergy, who are,
with one or two exceptions, all French,
have virtual control OF all Catholic
school affairs, and they do all they can
to strengthen the impression that the
law is direct attack on their religion.
Protestants appear to be Indifferent, but
at the same time they firmly believe
that the principles of the law are cor
rect and will do much towards building
up a national sentiment, virtue with
which Canadians are not richly ell
