Gen. Butler on Private Iams' Punishment.
Gen. Butler, in an interview yesterday In Bos-
ton, expressed himself very forcibly against the
recent punishment Of Private Iams at Home
stead. Said he: THAT sort of punishment was
not permitted in the war by any rule OF war
that know Of Cruel and unusual punish
ments are as much prohibited by the Constitu-
ton in time OF war as in time Of peace, and
that prohibition should cover every case.
The proceeding is barbarous, cruel and I'M
justifable by any law in peace In war and if 1t
ia not reprobated SO fully and thoroughly by
public sentiment that it will never occur again
1t will do much to disorganize our state
militia.
81 have seen another most remarkable state
ment about treason. There has been talk in
the papers that the performance of Carnegies
in bringing their fortified vessels up there to
commit murder was treason. While it was
wrong in every sense of the word, as a matter
Of law, right and propriety, yet it was not
reasonable in any shape or form under the
definition have just given"
Illus Private 1ams any redress in this case?"
IF there is an honest jury in Pennsylvania
he has. In the first place the colonel should be
tried by a military commission of National
Guards and his punishment by that tribunal
can only extend so far as to take away his COM
mission. Then he should be tried by jury for
Il cruel assault and put in Jail or fined; and
then he should be sued by the man and made
to pay many Thousands of dollars, if he can pay
it, for the outrage That is all that ought to
happen to the colonel that can think Of now.''

Explosion in n st. Louis Sewer,

An explosion Of coal oil gas occurred in the
Mill creek sewer, st. Louis, yesterday after
noon, tearing up Chouteau avenue from the

by the sewer filling with the coal oil which es-
capped during the burning Of the Waters-Pierce

fire on account Of the intense heat and the ex-
plosion followed. The sewer caps, weighing
300 pounds, were blown off at the street inter-
sections as far west as 14th street. The gas ig-
nited the alcoholic gases in Furch's whisky dis
tillery. Six pedestrians are known to be
buried in the wrecked sewer. One fireman,
caught beneath the debris of the falling walls,

Farm Stock & Home Corrected.
A statement has been published
abroad that T. J. Meighen, Chair
man OF the State Central Committee,
is not sound on the platform-re-
pudiates the subtreasury, etc. We
have written Mr.. Meighen to state
his views on the matter. II he does
not stand on the platform the ALI
ance has not understood him. 1t
is also stated that he quoted Mrs.
Lease as not supporting the sub
treasury. We state distinctly that
this is not true, in any sense what
ever. Mrs. Lease helped make the
subtreasury a national issue, and de-
tends it with all her peculiar power.
LATER.-Mr. Meighen's reply just
comes to us, and we will publish next
week. Mr.. Owen may not have in
tended a violent wrong, but it was
done just the same. Mr.. Meighen
says he has not repudiated the SUBJ
treasury, and that he did not state
that Mrs. Lease was disbeliver there
in-that she had always sustained
it in talking with him. What has
the F. S. & 81. come to when it thus
publishes actual errors which must
have been understood?
