THE OUTBREAK OF THE LIFE GUARDS
MajorGeneral, the Hon. Paul Sanford
Methuen, addressed the First Life
Guards at Windsor to-day. Lord Me
thuen inspected and drilled the men. and
found them obedient and well disciplined.
But when il came to endeavOrlng to
obtain an acknowledgement from them
of the proceedings of Saturday General
Methuen met with failure. He said that
he would advise those who had been
guilty of destroying their equipments to
confess the fact, and he would treat
their acts merely rs INSTRUMENTATION. But
if they should fail TO confess he would
have TO proceed on the grayer charge OF
nutiny. He would give them five
minutes, he declared to consider what
they would do The five minutes passed
but not q soldier spoke. The men were
sent back to their quarters, and General
Methuen will now report the affair tC
the commander-in-chief, the Duke OF
Cambridge.
The Yorkshire Post says. as Il result
of the recent outbreak of ''C' squadron
of the First regiment of Life Guards al
Windsor, the War Office has decided the
Guards shall henceforth be treated as
other soldiers, aud shall take foreign ser
vice like other regiments. The War OF
fee believes the Guards have been de-
moralized by the greater leniency shown
them and the privileges granted.

RecOnstruction Robberies in Louisiana.

NEw ORLEANS. Sept ga fraud in the
direct tax refunded to the State of Louisiana
by the General Government is being proven
by the research made by the State officials
here. Governor Foster has in bis posses
sion the rolls containing the list of the
direct tax refunded to the citizens of the
State bv the Federal Government and the
comparison of these rolls with the receipts
given at the time of the payment by the
coll ectors show glaring discrepancies.
In nearly every instance there is differ
ence of -, S3 or $6 between the tax re-
ceipts held by citizens and the sum entered
on the rolls. 1t is believed from the cursory
examination made into the matter thus far
that the people of the State were robbed
of hundreds of thousands of dollars by
this means during the reconstruction days
