PAY OF soLplERs.
Recommendations Of General Smith
in His Annual Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.- Eaymastnr-ger-
eral Smith, in his annual report to the Sec
retary of War, calls attention TO the fact
that the soldiers deposits nave increased
s795S2 during the year, a gratifying in
crease, in view of the fact that the deposits
had been falling off in preceding years, and
of the further fact that a soldier with a
deposit account rarely ieaves he service
without an honorable discharge. The ex-
penditures on account Of pay of army
show an increase of $275,553 over the pre-
the enlisted force was more nearly kept at
it's maximum limit. The fact that the ex-
penditures on account of pay of volunteers
were $493, ,653 less than last year Is taken as
an indication that these claims are being
exhausted. The paymaS:er-g al queS-
tions the beneficial effect of the system Of
withholding a portion o. the soldiers pay
ance of the soldier is ample t. take him
home when discharged, anu il is not nec
esSary to withhold pay for that purpose.
Any system which makes the soldier a de-
pendent detracts from mis- manhood and
efficiency. Many men enlist being told that
find that through deduction on accCun. Of
clothing and withheld pay two or three
months must elapse before ne can receive
any pay. He regards this as a breach of
contract and deserts. Therefore, it is recon-
mended that the system, which is cu.uoer-
some. complicated and absolute. be abol-
ished. 1t is also recommended that there
be but one common pay chez; fer the army
and that all disbursements be made through
the bonded officers of the pay corps, IN
stead of being divided between n,nbonded
disbursing officers, who. las- year, distribu-

CORONER SEEKING NOTORIETY.


WASHINGTON c. H., o., Nov. 15-Coro-
ner James Edwards. of this city, began his
inquest on the five persons that were shot
in front of the courthouse in this place
on the night of Oct. II. 1884, two or three
days after the occurrence. and obtained the
testimony of ninety-eight witnesses. 1t was
quite surprise to many OF the citizens
when they learned that the coroner had
turned his verdict to-day, as it was gener-
ally understood that the verdict would be
withheld until Col. A. F.. Colts testimony
could be obtained. Following is Coroner
Edwards verdict:

nent danger of serious destruction Of prop
courthouse or the remotest danger to the
prisoner, William Dolby (colored), being res
cued from the custody of Sheriff Cook"
Up to this time the Common Pleas Court
has not impaneled any special grand jury
TO consider the case of Colonel Colt and
Sheriff Cook. The regular term of the Com
mon Pleas Court will not be held till the
first week in January, 1885, and it is not
known whether the cases will be deferred
until then or taken up at once. The coroner
has turned over Ill testimony taken in the
inquest, and his verdict TO the prosecuting
attorney and the action of the court is now
awaited with interest 1t is said in
indictments are found against Colt and
Cook that there will be change of venue
and the trial will be held in some other
county.
The widely circulated story that Colonel
Colt would have been in any manner mis-
treated in case he had come here to testify
is absurd, as the city has long since re-
sumed its normal condition and no attempt
to annoy the Colonel is even dreamed of.
There has been no disposition among the
citizens to interrupt the course of the in
quest, and Colonel Colt would receive re-
spectful consideration just any other
witness. OF course ii is well known that
prisoners held on charges of murder in the
first degree not eligible to bail, and
Colonel Colt, who was assistant Adjutant-
general of Ohio under Governor Campbell

AFTER INFORMATION.
Mr.. StOrcr Wants Cleveland to Tell
AbOut His Mediation Offer


WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Representative
Bellamy Storer, of the committee on for
egn affairs of the House OF Representa-
tives, intends presenting to Congress when
it reassembles resolution Of inquiry as to
the action of Secretary Gresham in sug-
gesting to China and japan that this coun-
try will act as mediator in the settlement
of the present war. Mr.. Storer is now
making a careful examination of the sub
ject, with a view to taking the initiative.
The resolutions when drawn will request
the Secretary of State to transmit to Con-
gress all correspondence on the subject not
incompatible with the public service. They
will also ask for information as to what
departure, if any, from the traditional poll
icy of the government, as embodied in the
Monroe doctrine, is contemplated by the
executive branch in becoming a faction in
Asiatic entanglements.
Mr.. Storer says he has no desire to en-
barrass the executive branch in any for
eign policy they wish to pursue But as
member of the committee on foreign af-
fairs, he says such a foreign policy as is
now contemplated should properly have the
attention and Judgment of Congress. In
examining the treaties of 1853 between
China and the United States, under which
this government has suggested it's willing
ness to mediate, Mr.. Storer says the Ian
guage does not contemplate mediation by
the President or executive branch alone. 1t
recites in substance that the United States
will exercise their good offices in case any
nation acts untustly or oppressively against
China. This, Mr.. Storer points out, sug-
gests the good offices of the United States
but not of the President, so that it would
be proper and perhaps essential that the
congressional branch OF the government
should act in case such good offices are to
be exercised. From a casual inspection of
the treaty. Mr.. Storer added, "the clause
would hardly seem to warrant a PROPOSE
ton of mediation unless, as the treaty
states, China is being. treated unjustly or
oppressively, and / do not suppose this
government would PREJUDICE the trouble be-
tween China and Japan by saying the lat
ter was acting unjusty or oppressively."
Mr.. Storer says that any action ne takes
will be on conservative lines, as he desires
to make his inquiry for information rather
than criticism until the facts are presented.

has gotten into trouble as the result OF
shooting and wounding Kafrir. whom he
suspected of burglarious intent The shoot
ing occurred early in last September and
Mr.. Hollis was afforded prompt tria,.

officer, he could claim no immunities not
accorded any foreign resident: On trial IL
was shown that the wounded kaffir was
innocent OF the burglarious intent, and,
therefore. that Mr.. Hollis had been guilty
of homicide. He was sentenced 90 six
months Imprisonment, but the prosecutor
regarding the sentence as Inadequate, noted
an appeal, which may be done under the
Portuguese law. This appeal was referred
to Lisbon, and If IL is rejected, as antici-
pated, the consul will be declared innocent
