GEN scaorrEIp,s REPORT


tho Ar.y-The Sioux Outbreak.
WASHINGTON. Oct 21.-Major- Con, Schoileld.
commanding the army. in his annual report,
says that tho past year was marked by dis
turbance among the Sioux Indians which was
formidable In fact and threatened to DO for
more formidable than any Indian war that had
occurred In many years. Nearly one-half tho
infantry and cavalry Of the army was concen-
trated at the scene Of disturbance. These
movements resulted In tho suppression Of the
uprising without loss Of life on the part OF
peaceful citizens. though the army suffered
considerable loss. and quite q large band OF
Indians was destroyed in conflict with the
troops
Gen. Schofeld says that this campaign
teaches tho lesson that the entire military
force OF the United States would DO wholly in
adequate to prevent great loss Of life and dam
age to property IL a general Indian outbreak
should occur He suggests that by tho ad-
dition OF few thousand men to tho enlisted
strength OF the army whereby sufficient
force might at all times be stationed in the vi
cinity OF tho grent reservations. the danger Of

they are already strong than they
are now. The same arrangements for local
government would augment the influence OF
the priesthood in many Irish constituencies
and might render their influence irressti-
BILE. should the hierarchy decide TO prefer
the Union plus Catholic education to nome
rule minus the educational boon.
While such are the possibilities OF Tory
strategy In ireland under tho guidance OF a
thoroughly informed and far-sighted states
man, It Is also by no means certain that In
Great Britain Mr.. BALFoUR may not devise
means OF widening the breach between the
workingmen and the Gladstonian lead
ers, of which we have seen indications
since the meeting OF the Liberals at New
castle. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
GLADSTONE expressed only a reluctant and
qualified adhesion to tho demand OF the
Trade Union Congress for tho payment OF
members of Parliament. lIo was willing,
no said. that such members as could prove
that they would otherwise DO unable to dis
charge their public duties should receive q
modest compensation not exceeding $1,000
year. Now suppose that Mr.. BALFoUR
should assert that 1t would not become the
spokesman Of the people to sue in forn,a pd't-
peris for a Just remuneration OF their ser
vices, and, moreover. that the labors devolv-
ing on member OF the British Parliament
were every jot as arduous. and deserved
to be as we'll rewarded. as those OF
q member OF the American House OF
Representatives. Who doubts that a pro-
posal emanating from the new Tory leader
to give all members. without any invidious
discrimination, the pay OF $4,000 year
would pass the House Of Commons with q
rush Then. again. who knows what may
be the attitude Of Mr.. BALFouB toward the
qualified form Of an eight-hour law de-
manded by tho Trade Union Congress? He
has heard Mr.. MORLEY commit himself
against such measure. and Mr.. GLAD
STONE discourage it. but meanwhile he has
made no sign.
So much, at all events. Is certain, that
with Mr.. BALFouR in the foreground tho
era of Tory stagnation and dependency Is
over. and q lively, interested, aggressive
period begins.

q monument to HENRY W. GRADY in Atlanta
yesterday was exhibited when Governor HILL,
in his admirable address. recalled the magical
effect OF GRADY's speech at the New England
dinner in this town In 1886. That was one Of
the occasions. which have become exceeding
few in these modern days, when oratory with
one impassioned stroke fulfilled mission
that no other agency OF human intercourse
had been able completely to accomplish.
The orator presented no unknown facts but It
was the privilege Of his genius to mako his
hearers. and the whole North. SEQ the new
South In tho light In which 1t was striving to
be recognized. From that moment bitter
memories that had yet fingered on both sides
vanished. and the nation felt the completeness
OF It's reunion az 1t had not felt It before. As
Governor HILL well said. HENRY W. GRApY's
mission was mission Of peace" and the
South cannot cherish his memory more dearly
than docs the North.

A Naval Habcas Corpus Case.

An important decision relating to the
misconduct Of persons In the naval service
has Just been rendered by Judge ROBERT
w. HUGHES Of Norfolk In the District Court
OF the United States for the Eastern district
Of Virginia.
JAMES VAN VRANKIN. n paymaster's clerk

court martial in August for having misap-
propriated moneys OF the Government, and.
upon conviction. was sentenced to one years
imprisonment in tho penitentiary. While
awaiting confirmation or disapproval Of
the action OF the court martial by the
superior authorities, tho clerk was confined
upon the receiving ship Franklin. and an
application was recently made In his behalf
to Judge HUGHES for the release OF the
prisoner on the ground that tho court
martial had no Jurisdiction to impose q
sentence OF Imprisonment In the penitenti-
airy. and furthermore on tho ground that 1t
had no jurisdiction to try q paymaster's
clerk Mt all.
A writ OF habcas corpus was issued and
the application for the prisoners discharge
was vigorously opposed by the United
States District Attorney. A decision, how
ever. was rendered on Tuesday. ordering
the prisoners discharge from custody on
both the grounds stated.
AS to the sentence. Judge HUGHES holds
that there is no statutory authority which
empowers naval court martial to send o
defendant to the penitentiary except upon
conviction of a crime punishable by death.
This view we suppose is based upon con-
sideration Of the provisions Of article Of
the articles for the government Of the navy,
which provides that naval court martial
