General Wheaton Says the Defendant
is Incapable of Commanding.
OMAHA, March 19.-The first witness
called in the court-martiai of Captain
Galley this morning was General
Wheaton. He said that Galley did not
accompany his command into the field
from Pine Ridge, and witness did not be-
lieve him capable of commanding under
fire. The Captain had been once court
martialed for cowardice in the face of In
dams in Idaho, and found guilty, but the
findings of the court was reversed by
President Hayes and Galley reinstated.
The accused croSS-eXamined General
Wheaton, and asked him if he (Wheaton)
had not been once court-martialed. After
objections and a lively wrangle, General
Wheaton replied that he had never been
arrested and tried. Captain Galley then
asked the court to send for witnesses by
which he said he could impeach General
Wheaton's testimony, and show that they
would not believe him under oath, but
the court refused to comply with the re-
quest.
Lieutenant Turner testified that the
officers of the Second Regiment believed
Galley unreliable and not capable of COM
mandlng company off the parade
ground.
Adjourned until tomorrow.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Just before
dawn this morning the United States re-
ceiving ship Vermont, lying off Cod
dock, at the Brooklyn navy yard, was
run into by an unknown steamer ocean
bound. The Vermont at this writing is
full of water, and it is feared she will
sink.
The crash tore a hole twelve feet square
in her bow.
The colliding steamer rebounded again,
crashing into the Vermont, and tore her
side along the water-mark, ripping her
open.
There was lively panic on board.
The sailors were sent spinning from their
hammocks and the officers from their
hunks. Nobody was injured, but much
of the interior furniture was damaged.
The unknown steamer veered around
and made with all possible speed for the
lower bay. AS soon as the marines got
their senses together, the first launch at
hand was started out in pursuit, with
sailors for duty. The steamer had start
of twenty minutes, and up to this writing
nothing has been heard either of her or
the launch. When the collision occurred
the steamer was hailed by sailors of the
Vermont, but the crew of the vessel re-
fused to disclose her name.

New YORK, March 19.-United States
Senator Power of Montana in an inter

in the last Congress made a mistake in
trying to adopt measure providing for
the absolute free coinage of silver. The
Senator is rated as one of the most ardent
of silver men, and his own State is full of
bullion-owners. He said, however, he
did not think it was sound policy to
jump too quickly to the free coinage of
white metal.

ing States to attempt to dictate the finan-
cial policy of the whole country" he
said. Colorado, Montana and Idaho, Of
course, want to dispose of their silver at
the best possible prices. think the rest
of the country is willing to act fairly with
these States if they do not ask too much

age while bullion is worth only 81 per
ounce. When legislation is enacted that
will advance the price Of bullion, which I
hope will soon come, free coinage will
