GALLEY COURT MARTIAL.
New Light Thrown on the Findings of
Former Court.

New Light Thrown on the Findings of
Former Court.
OMAHA, March 2l.-Captain Galley, in
his defense in the court martial trial to-
day, introduced a document which
throws new light on the finding of the
court martial by which he was convicted
in 1880. In that trial Captain Galley was
convicted of cowardice for retreating be-
fore the fire of small band of Indians in
the Idaho Mountains.
Captain Galley introduced letter of
Judge Advocate General Dunn, to the
Secretary of War, on the strength of
which President Hayes set aside the find
ing of the court martial. In the letter
Dunn stated that Galley was in an unex-
plored country-in the head of a canyon
where there was no chance tor escape on
the other side, when he was fired upon
by hostile Indians. He knew nothing of
the force of the enemy, and there was
nothing left for him to do but to retreat.
The Judge Advocate General held that
there was nothing in the evidence to
sustain the charge of ocowardice, and
recommended that the finding be over
ruled. 1t was upon this recommendation
that President Hayes acted.
Captain Galley being unable to get
from Washington papers which he
claimed would show that he has been
disabled for active field service for more
than two years, an adjournment was
taken until Monday.

Government War Vessels Escape the
Vigilance of Insurgent Cruisers.
LONDON, March 2l.-A dispatch from
Santiago de Chile to the Times says: Con-
siderable excitement is caused here by
the report from Buenos Ayres that Presi-
dent Balmaceda's new war vessels, the
Admiral Lynch and Condell, which were
at Buenos Ayres, have escaped the in
surgent cruisers sent to intercept them
and that they may shortly be taking an
active part in the struggle now going on
in this country. The whole population,
and syndicates of foreign capitalists and
the clergy, except in the province of
Tarapaca, side with President Balmaceda.
There is no analogy between the troubles
now going on in the Argentine Republic
and the troubles here. The President and
his Ministers have guaranteed the funds
to be deposited in Europe for the pay
ment of the July interest upon the national
debt. 1t is believed the delay in the sup
preston of the troubles here is only due
to the hesitation of the Government, and
that the crushing out of the insurrection
is only the question of few weeks.

WASHINGTON, March q. - General
Joseph E. Johnston died shortly after IL
O'Clock tonight.
The General had been suffering for the
past three weeks with an affection of the
heart, aggravated by cold caught soon
after General Sherman's funeral. The
physician had been trying to keep his
strength up for some days, but his ad-
vanced age had given little hope for his
recovery from the beginning of his i'll
ness.
The General did not seem to suffer in
the least, and was conscious to the last.
The immediate cause of death was heart
failure, the result of degeneration of
the heart due in a measure to cold.
AT times for about two years General
Johnston has shown unmistakable signs
of a general breaking down. His mind
often became bewildered so he could not
tell where he was or how he came there
AT the beginning of his last attack of
illness DR.. Lincoln was summoned and
succeeded with much difficulty in arrest
ing the progress of the disease for a time.
Prior to a week ago yesterday the Gen
eral seemed to be improving, but on that
day he went down stairs without assist
ance. over-eXerting himself. Since then
he continued to grow worse, until about
+ O'Clock this evening, when the doctor
found him perfectly comfortable and ap-
parently little better There was no
warning that the end was SO near.
Governor McLane, Of Maryland, en-
tered the room a little after IL O'Clock,
and as he approached the bed heard an
almost inaudible sigh, and General john
Ston was dead.
The funeral services will be held in this

was mustered out OF service as Lieuten-
ant-Colonel of Volunteers, to be rein
stated by Congress in the army, with the

which, as Major-General of Volunteers,
he assisted General Lee in organizing the
men pouring into Richmond His sub
sequent service throughout the war is
well known.

GREEN BAY INDIAN SCHOOL.

The Removal of the Catholic Teachers
Raises Storm of Indignation.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The removal
of four Catholic teachers who have had
charge of the Green Bay, Wisconsin, In
dian school, has raised a storm of indig-
nation among Catholics throughout the
country.
Commissioner Morgan, in dismissing
these Catholic teachers, acted upon letters
from Agent Kelsey and Representative
McCord, who charge neglect of duty,
insubordination to superiors, etc.
1t is charged that one of the teachers
sheltered white man on the premises,
and when Indian Agent Kelsey ordered
him TO leave Miss Mcintyre denounced
him in strong terms.
Representative McCord's letter accuses
the principal with continual absence from
duty and allowing the School-house and
pupils to become invested with vernlin.
Letters received here by Rev. Father
Stephanie charge that Kelsey evicted the
four Catholic sisters in cruel way, hard
" allowing them sufficient time TO pack
their personal effects. The letters say
they pleaded in vain for more time to
prepare for their leave-taking.
Father Devensthal says the parting be-
tween the pupils and teachers was pitiful
III the extreme. The former, affected to
tears, clung desperately to the skirts of
the teachers, begging them not to leave.
Father Stephanie laid these letters be-
fore Secretary Noble and received the
following reply:
'The matter will be investigated by
me. Ifany wrong has been done, it will
be righted."
The Critic says tonight: A rumor has
gained credence tonight that the Presi-
dent has requested Morgan's resignation.
1t is reported that Noble is out of patience
with Morgan, who is puritanical, accord
ing 10 Noble, thus accounting for the dis
missal of the Catholic sisters. Noble
holds Morgan responsible for the trouble
he was involved in by the Sioux massacre,
at which time he was humiliated by hav-
ing the Indian reservation put under con-
ssol OF the War Department.

CHICAGO DEMOCRATS.
Two Factions Nominate a Candidate
for Mayor.


CHICAGO, March 21-The result of to-
days Democratic Conventions makes it
sure that two nominees for Mayor will
be in the field on the Democratic ticket,
the present incumbent, Dewitt G. Gre
gier, and ex-Mayor Carter II. Harrison.
The Harrison men assert that they did
not have fair show at yesterdays pri-
maries, and that force was used against
them.
When the regular convention assem-
bled to-day the Harrison delegates made
demand for the seating of the contest
ants. The Credentials Committee, how
ever, decided against him, whereupon the
Harrison men bolted the convention in a
body, and, together with the contestants,
formed another convention in Uhlich's
Hall, nominating Carter Harrison by ac-
clamation.
AT the regular convention Cregier was
nominated for Mayor, George Weiss, a
wealthy German brewer, for City Treas
urer, Jacob Kern for City Attorney and
James c. Strain for City Clerk.
The Harrison convention made no
nominations except for Mayor.

this week is, at least in England. dis
tinctly worse than last. -Four days have
elapsed since Maurice Healy promptly
accepted Parnell's challenge to resign and
go before the constituents, but nothing
more is heard from Parnell. The anti
Parnellite press and platforms ring with
taunts. Parnell, as usual, goes his own
way, Indifferent to the criticism, which
to men who accept the ordinary code OF
honor or morals would be maddening.
He will wait, his friends hint, till after
the North Sligo election.
Justin Mccarthy has already found the
task OF leading the Irish party too much
for him. His health has broken down.
He leaves England shortly for the CONT
nent. Nominally he remains leader. 1t
does not really much signify whose
name is used, there is no real leadership
among the Parnellites.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Itis is rumored
that the President has definitely aban-

about the report, said it was by no means
certain that the President would make
the trip. He had never fully determined
to go, but had simply said that be would
go If the condition of public business
would admit of his leaving Washington
during April. 1t is understood that the
ladies of the White House have made
plans for next month that would be
broken up by the Western trip, and alto
gether it seems very unlikely that tho
journey will be made.
Private Secretary Halford said to-day
the President is coming West if he can,
but will abandon the trip if the state
OF public business makes it necessary.
