WASHINGTON, April 25.-There will be
shaking up in the army as well as in the
navy after the Worlds fair ceremonies are
over and the cabinet officers get back to
the daily routine of their duties. Secre-
tary Lamont has discovered that a num-
Der of army officers know SO little of their
regiments that in some cases colonels who
have been steadily with their troops would
need introductions to some of their subor-
dinates who have nominally been belong
fng to their regiments for years, but have
been absent on special duty of one sort or
another for years. 1t has been called to
the secretary's attention that out of 1,5S9
officers 505 are for one reason or another
absent from their regiments. OF the alb
sentees 10S are at military colleges and
other institutions as instructors, OF on
leave, 10 on staff duty and So on recruiting
service. Special appeals doubtless will be
made in many cases to the secretary and
influence brought to prevent officers being
sent back to their regiments. but many Of
them will find the appeals unayailing.

sault upon young Miss Bessie Baxter last
week by an unknown negro. Judge
Lynch's court has been In session several
days trying suspected persons. Peterson
had been folloEGd through the country TO
Columbia, anu arrived here Saturday and
claimed Governor Tillman's protection.
The governor sent him to Denmark to be
tried.
The mob, however, would not allow a
legal trial. Judge Lynch's court duly as
sembled and Peterson was carried before
Miss Baxter. He never hinched and Miss
Baxter declared he was not the man. The
crowd was disappointed at this dctlara-
tion and eagerly seized on other points to
his disadvantage. A negro woman, who
Is said to have been angry with Peterson,
testified adversely to him, and Miss Bax-
ter's father came in declaring that his
daughter was In such a condition that she
would never recognize the man.
The crowd then grew wild, took Peter
son out strung him to a tree and riddled
him with bullets. There appears to be no
doubt that Peterson was innocent. Gov
ernor Tillman's action in sending Peterson
to the mob is drawing universal cond&mna-
tion on him.
