INJURIOUS TO DISCIPLINE,
President CIevcIand's Reason for yctoinf
the Bill Retiring Capt. Wells.

President CIevcland's Reason for vctoing
the Bill Retiring Capt. Wells.
In vetoing bill for the relief of Eugene
Wells. late captain in the Twelfth Infantry,
President Cleveland has given an expression
of his viows on the proprlety of special legis-
lation for the retirement OF Army officers
which will be exceedingly interesting to
officers in the regular service A number of
cases similar to that Of Capt. Wells are now
pending.
The bill authorized the President TO appoint
the beneficiary a second Lieutenant of artil-
lery, TO be placed on the retired list for dis
ability without the usual examination by a
retiring board. The President writes:
appointments to the Army under the
authority of special legislation. which names
the appoiDtee. and the purpose Of which is the
immediate retirement of the appointee. are
open TO serious objections. though confess
have been persuaded through sympathy and
sentiment on a number of occasions to ap-
prove such legislation. When, however. it is
proposed 10 make the retirement compulsory
and without reference to age or previous ex-
animation, a most Objectionable feature is in
troduced.
Il am impressed with the belief that legis-
lation of the kind proposed is Of extremely
doubtful expediency in any save very excep-
tional cases; and am thoroughly convinced
by the facts now before me that the discipline
and efficiency OF our Army as well rs Justice
to Its meritorious members. does not permit
my approval on any ground Of the bill here
with returned ~

the impeachment of Judge Kicks was eonsid-
cred by the House Judiciary Committee
yesterday.
Representative Bailey, of Texas, explained

was referred to the subcommittee. of which
Representative Bailey is the chairman. with

Mr.. Bailey will. therefore. introduce in the

Vessels for the Naval Militia.

The bill authorizing the Navy Department
to lend ships and equipment not in active
service to the States for the naval militia use
having become law the officers of the de-
partment have already begun to cast about
to see what ships are available. 1t appears
that there are none on the Atlantic coast suit
able for this service save the monitor Wyan-
dotte. now at Norfolk, and she probably will
be placed at the disposition of the Maryland
naval militia. This organization. however, is
not yet ready for active drills aboard ship. so
the monitor will probably not be used until
next summer. 1t is not the intention to send
her out on cruise. but she will be towed to
Baltimore. and the militia can live aboard
and practice at boat drills. landing parties,
and such exercises as do not involve the use
of the monitors motive power

The Championship Record.
HAD NO MERCY on MERCER.
Wards Giants Hit Hard and Often and
Won Hands Down.

A fair-sized crowd saw Capt. Joyce make a
home-run hit on the first ball Rusle pitched
yesterday afternoon. II was an excellent
start, but a lamentable ending resulted. Mer-
Ger. who has enjoyed the fruits OF many
victories, was in the box. He tried hard to
pitch, but ii availed naught, and he was hit
hard by the New Ycrks, who are going pen
antward at a fast pace.
The Senators played just about like fellow
feels who has had bad night of it. They
might have suffered from their trip on the
boat the night before. Quite the reverse with
the visitors. who were as vigorous as youth
full woodchoppers in the forests of the North
west. Eddie Burke's play was a feature OF the
game and won great applause He made a
number of brilliant catches, taking Abbeys
short fly in the third. and a moment later he
captured McGuire's long hit in grand-stand
style. O'Rourkes failure to attempt to get
several hits was also a feature.
Tim Keefe was the umpire. and many OF his
decisions were as erratic as his pitching dur
ing the last days of his career on the diamond.
Roaring Bill" Hassamer was so slow in
right field that lie was supplanted by Radford
in the sixth.
Joyces home run was all the Senators
scored in the first Selbach's single. Cart
wright's triple, and Mercer's single scored
two runs in the third. Another one was
earned in the sixth on O'Rourke's triple and
MERGERS single. In the eighth singles by
Shieisck, O'Rourke. and Joyce. and an error
by Ward put three runs across the plate.
One was added in the ninth on a base on balls
and O'Rourke's two bagger.
The Giants began in the first with one on
Davis double and Sebachs drop of Doyle's
fly. In the second Van Haltren and Murphy
singled and Rusie reached third on single
10 right. Fuller went to first on balls and
Davis hit safely. This scored three runs. Six
runs were scored in the third on singles by
Murphy. Fuller. Burke. Davis, and Doyle.
Van Haltrens base on balls and a double by
Wilson.
After Fuller hit safely in the fifth he was
thrown out trying to steal second. Then
Burke landed a two-bagger and Davis a tri-
pie, and when the side was retired three runs
had been scored. The eighth netted four
more runs on two errors by joyce and one by
Shiebeck Il single by Van Haitren and a
double by Burke The score:

The Navy Department has decided to have
the new cylinder for the United State steam
ship Montgomery to replace that cracked on
the trial trip. made at the Norfolk navy yard.
instead of allowing the contractors to replace
it. This will be work of two months. and
meantime. in order to permit the vessel to re-
main in active service, the broken engine will
be compounded, or run with two cylinders in
stead Of three until the new cylinder is fin
ished. 1t is possible that in this way the
