THE CASE OF C.PrAlN SUMNER.
BE 10 Suspended from Duty for Six
Months on Waiting Orders.


Months on Waiting Orders.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l3.-The Navy
Department to-day made public i,s
action in the case OF Capt. George W.
Sumner, late in command Of the United
States cruiser Columbia, who was tried
recently by court.martial &C the Brook
Ign navy yard on charges growing out
of the injury sustained by his vessel in
docking at Sou champion in July last
The first charge was culpable in
efficiency in the performance Of duty.
The court found him guilty in less
degree than charged in that he did not
fully perform his duty in having proper
preparations made for the docking and
seeing that the supporting docks were
in proper condition for receiving and
sustaining her weight. The court ig-
nored that portion OF the chsrge alleg-
ing that, in consequence of that failure,
the vessel was subjected to severe
strains, resulting in damage to her hull
and necessitating repairs costing about
81 900.
The captain was found not guilty of
the second charge of suffering vessel
OF the navy to be hazarded in violati
of the naval regulations The speclG
cation under this charge, however, that
he suffered the vessel TO remain under
severe strain without causing the dock
to be flooded was proved.
He was found guilty OF the third
charge, neglect OF duty and the specifi-
cation under that charge was proved ,
namely, that he paid the charge Of
docking without protest. The sentence
Of the court is as follows: ITO be sus-
pended from dusy only for period OF
six months on waiting orders, pay, and
to be reprinanded bf the honorable
Secretary of the Navy"
The action OF the department. has
been stated to Captain Sumner with q
copy Of the proceedings, findings and
sentence of the court aud the statement
that these are approved. He is In :
formed that the publication OF these in
general orders is regarded as sufficient
compliance with that portion OF the
,entence calling for reprimand By the
Secretary of the Navy.

In the Waller Case, ~ 1t Is Viewed at the

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.--Thc state de.
partmcnt has been advised that the record

French authorities found II necessary to
send to Madagascar is expected to reach
Alden, on the Red sea, about the 18th inst
but it will he "a month before the depart
ment can bc in full possession of all the
facts in the case. In ali probability no
further steps will he taken by the depart
mcnt In this matter until an examina.
tion of the record shall bc made.
There Is growing feeling in the de
partmcnt that France has purposcly
sought delay in producing this record in
the hope of causing the United States to
make II pcrcmpJory and unconditional de
mand for Walters release. IL is believed
that if made this demand should be madc
and granted Waller would be de

nifty and the restoration of his land con

record which could not bc demanded after
his release, il would hc impossible To show
that Waller Ind been unjustly deprived of

THE OFFlceHoLoER IN POLITICS.
His Status as Citizen Dcfened by the
Civil Service Com,ni.-ion


WAsHIsGToS, Sept e.-Thc civil service
commission has been asked by certain
letter carriers TO decide what part they
were allowed To take III politics under the
civil service law further than merely cast
ing their votes. The commission replied
that any specific questions should be sub
mittcd to the postolfice department, but
called attention 70 the executive instruc-
tions of the president of July II, 1888,
which il said are vet in force, and are part
Of the postal rules.
In thi, declaration the president warns
ofiicchOldcrs against the Use of their Off
cial positions In attempts to control pOlit-
cal movements IN their localities. Office
holders should scrupulously avoid, in their
political action as well rs III the discharge
OF their official duties, offending by dis

forbidden the exercise of political priv

larg.d nor is their duty to party increased

follows: Those who enter tine classii.g ID

tanned merit as established by the civil
service rules. and are protected therein.
