Executive Clemency.

In the case Of Union H. Grimlaw and w.
j. Grifnlar. convicted in Florida Of cutting
timber on United States lands, and SEN
fenced March 16 to pay a fine Of SIS and
costs. and to be imprisoned six months,
the President has committed the sentence
to four months Imprisonment
The President has denied the application
for pardon In the case Of Charles H. Glenn
ent convicted in California of embezxling
money from the mall. He also refused to
interfere in the case Of VIM. J. Meadows
now undergoing a life sentence for a muir
der committed in Arkansas. In his indorse-
ment on this case the President saws:
There Is no pretense that this convict was
not guilty Of most atrocious murder.
With a great deal Of hesitation the Presi-
dent committed his sentence Of death to
Imprisonment for life solely on account of
his youth. The best reason now urged for
his pardon Is the pardon granted to the
man convicted and sentenced with this con-
Wet Of the same murder. I believed the
man I pardoned was innocent know
this convict is guilty. II I have made a
mistake in pardoning one guilty man, that
is 10 reason why 1 should repeat the
error"

Guns to he Fired.

Gen. Schofield has issued orders to the
commanding generals of the department Of
the east and the department Of California
to have adjacent military posts respond to
any firing done by vessels of France on the
occasion of the funeral of President Carnot
Secretary Herbert considered the question
of issuing similar orders to commaniants Of
navy yards and stations. and to command
ing officers of naval vessels. but concluded
that it was unnecessary. as they would
undoubtedly respond, according TO their Gus
tom, without specific Instructions. Our YES
sells and naval stations will duplicate the
acton OF French vessels In their vicinity.
So far as known, the only French Tarshjp
in an American port at present Is at San
