LIEUTENANT MANEY'S ESCAPE,

ETesiuent considered the verdict InaGc-
quate and Set 1t Aside.
WASHINGTON, Aug. G.-The presidents
action in setting the Nancy court-martiil
verdict aside has caused much comment.
There are various rumors afioat. Some of
them go so far as to declare that the
president had nothing to do with the mat
ter. This is the truth The president ex-
amined the report and verdict, and was
disgusted with them.
He believes. and Secretary Lamont be-
lieves, that the court-martial should have
r-ronsurcntievi- 'Nnney' disrnfss;fi. Had it
done so the verdict would have been ap-
proved. The offense merited such n ver-
dict, in the presidents opinion. The ver-
dict found was, they considered, so grossly
inadequate that the president set it aside
The whole incident will close with the is
suing of an order instructing Nancy to
report to his regiment at Fort Sheridan

CHICAGO, Aug. G.-The convention of
the American Railway union by unani-
nous vote decided to conform to the laws
OF the organization and take no action in
the way of declaring the strike Off The
action OF the convention leaves the strike
situation in exactly the same position
that it was before the delegates assem-
bled. Under the laws of the orgarization
strike can only be ordered by three
fourths vote of the men on a system This
was the procedure that brought on the
recent great tie-up. Under the same law
the strike can only be declared Off by the
members themselves, and this is the way
such action will have to be taken, if it is
taken at all. 1t is understood, however,
that the strike will be declared off on Sew
eral systems, and that the men will go
back to work. On others where there is a
possibility OF continuing the fight it is
said it will be done. The entire day was
consumed in hearing the reports of dele
gates on the various lines.
Will Depend ON the Ballot.
Before the convention assembled in the
morning there was a private meeting Of
the delegates from the west at which they
decided upon the policy that they will
pursue in the future. What this was the
delegates refused TO say but it is said to
be of an important character The most
important action that the present conven-
tion has taken during the present session
was taken at u meeting held in Uhlich's
hall. At that meeting the committee on
resolutions. consisting of Charles Dahl
and James Bruce, submitted lengthy re-
port, which proposed to settle the trouble
of the railroad men at the ballot box The
resolutions submitted by the committee
called upon the railroad men particularly,
and working men generally, to support
the political party "bearing the sovereign
name OF the people, This is taken to
mean that the American Railway union
has gone on record for the Peoples party,
and that they will do all that lies in
their power to secure the election OF the
candidate of that party.

T. W HiGGINsoS. der In continuation
with Wendell Phillips and Theodore Park
er, and only escaped through a technical
flaw in the indictment Yet Colonel HiR-
ginson has philosophic reason for his op-
timism.
"A reformer," he says, "can always
glance back upon his life with a certain de-
gree of satisfaction, for he sees how the
world has advanced during his own life,
and he recognizes the fact that many things
for which he has worked are already accom-
plished, and he looks forward with conf
dence to the future. Many changes must
come in our social arrangements, but the
reformer thinks OF them with composure
The conservative, on the contrary, has no
such satisfaction in looking backward He
feels that things are not what they used to
be when he was young, and he realizes that
the world has gone away from him."
An ardent reformer Colonel Higginson
certainly was, He was one OF the earliest
and most enthusiastic of the abolitionists
In Massachusetts and was forced to resign
the pastorate Of the Unitarian church in
Newburyport because Of his antislavery
preaching. He was one Of the famous Wen
dell Phillips bodyguard, organized to pro-
tect the silver tongued aboltionist from the
attacks of mobs in his native Boston. He
was dctlNe III tne Tree SOIL agitation and was
candidate for congress on the Free Soil
ticket. He was personally acquainted with
John Brown and served as brigadier on
the free state forces of James H. Lee He
helped organize an unsuccessful expedition
to rescue two of John Browns companions
from prison at Harper's Ferry and went to
the front in 1862 as captain of the Fifty
first Massachusetts volunteers. In Novem-
Der of the same year he was appointed colo
mel of the first regiment Of freed slaves
mustered into the Federal service, and a
year later received wound that disabled
him and eventually caused his retirement.
Colonel Higginson was born in the shadow
Of Harvard college, Of which his father was
steward, Dec -, 1923. He graduated from
the college in 1S4l and from the divinity
school six years later. He was ordained for
the service of the Newburyport church
mentioned above, and after leaving there
accepted the pastorate of a free church In
Worcester, where he remained from 1852 to
1858. when he left the ministry and devoted
himself to literature
He has contributed much to current lit
erature, and several of his best known
books consist of essays that first appeared
In The Atlantic Monthly, in the first vol
ume Of which his first published article ap-
peared. His Outdoor Papers" and his
Young Folks History of the United
States" are probably the best known of his
literary productions.
