FOR CLOSER SCRUTINY,

Last week the Senate Committee charged
with the duty of investigating alleged irregu-
lqrities in the matter of the payment of Indian
depreciation claims, decided that more search
ing investigation was necessary, and that, pend
ing such an investigation. they would report
in favor of withholding all payments. For sew
eral days past this committee has been in ses-
sion, and has had before it Attorney General
Miller and Assistant Attorney General Colby,
who has charge OF the Indian depreciation
claims in the Department of Justice.
The claimants, whose judgments aggregate
in the neighborhood of $500, 600. are clamor-
ing for their money. Although the COMMITTEES
has. to q certain extent, Teopened the iByesti-
CATION. it is stated upon the authority OF
leading member of the committee that no ap-
preparation will be made to satisfy them at this
session OF Congress. The charge recently made
that there is looseness in the met od5 OF the
Department of Justice, although not inten-
ti0pal or approaching anything like criminal
earelessness, is again made. Without doubt those
having judgments against the Government will
be compelled to await a further investigation,
which has been rendered necessary. says the
committee. by reason of the doubtful claims
that have been passed upon, and hereafter all
claims Of this nature will be subjected to .
much closer scrutiny.

IMAM INSANE ASYLUM,
The Unhappy Lot Of the Newiy-weddet
Wife of Commodore Mayo.

The Unhappy Lot of the Newiy-wedded
Wife of Commodore Mayo.
Great surprise WAS caused in Washington by
the recent announcement that Mrs. Mayo, the
newly. welded wife of Commodore William K.
Mayo, u. s. Navy, retired, had been sent to a
private retreat for the insane at Liteb5eld,
Conn., after having made an unsuccessful at
tempt to end her life. She was married to
Commodore Mayo. who is many years older
than she, last December, after short acquaint-
anca formed last Summer in the White Mount
aims Commodore 3Iayo's family were very
strongly opposed to the marriage, and none oi
them attended the wedding ceremonies al
Waterbury, Conn, the home of Mrs. Mayo's
father, Mr.. Orville III. Stevens, large manu-
facturer of that city.
The Commodore immediately brought his
bride to Washington. where a largely attended
wedding reception was hold. Some comment
appears to have been made at the time about
what was then termed the eccentric conduct OF
the bride, but few persons attributed Mrs.
Mayo's return with her father to Waterbury
abou. Christmas time to anything but desire
on her part to be with her family during that
season. 1t has since developed that Mrs. Mayo
was suffering intensely from nervous prostra-
ton, and it is now said she showed symptoms
of mental trouble. Commodore Mayo has the
sympathy of large circle of friends here N
Washington in his affliction.

Swain This case has been pending ia the
Court of Claims for several years past.
The opinion, which is very elaborate and
exhaustive one, recites the facts that in 1894
the firm of Bateman s. Co.. private bankers in
Washington, sent communication to Secretary
Lincoln charging the Judge Advoeate-Genersl
of the Army with having defTauded them. and
they at the same time published their charges
in the newspapers. Secretary Lincoln referred
the communication TO the Judge-Advocate-
General, and his explanation not being salts
factory, brought the matter TO the attention OF
President Arthur.
The President ordered it TO be investigated
by court eff inquiry. and subsequently, on the
report of the court ordered the arrest of Gen.
Swain and his trial by court martial. Gen.
Sehofeld was President of the court, and the
charge preferred was conduct unbeeoming an
officer and gentleman.
After protracted trial the court martial
found that Gen. Swain had not been guilty of
fraud, but at the same time found that he had
been guilty of the lesser ofense of conduct preja
dicial to good order and military discipline, and
finally imposed sentence, which received
the approval of the President, that Gen. Swain
be suspended for II years, and forfeit half
of his pay 1t was to recover this pay that

For the first time since early last Fall Senator
Colquitt, of Georgia, made his appearance in the
Senate Chamber on Monday, Feb. 81. The
Senator gives strong evidence of the severity
of the paralytic attack by which he wasstricken
down. His face is very thin and drawn, and
the right arm, which he carries across his
breast, is evidently entirely useless. When
Senator Colquitt reached the Senate Chamber
the Senators crowded around him and shook
his left hand with warmth that was evidence
that they were all very glad to welcome him
back to his old seat in tho Senate. It will not
be possible for the Senator to attend to active
duties for some time to come.
