The Arreat was Uniust.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Counsel for
Major George A. Armes, whose sensa-
tional arrest several months ago for in
subordination by order of Major Cen
eral Schofeld, then acting secretary of
war, was followed by his discharge by
Judge Bradley, with scathing denun-
citation of the arrest, fled their briefs
today in reply to the governments ap-
peal to the court of appeals. They ask
the discharge of Armes from further
liability, first, because no power what
ever existed to make the arrest, and,
second, because he was not informed of
the nature of the accusations against
him. Counsel say there has been no
process of law in any sense and no
legal commitment, and believing,
therefore, that the arrest was unjust, a
violation of the law and subversiye of
the liberty of the citizen k1ast that
the Judgment of the lower court be af-
frmed. Military law, the counsel
argue, is supreme in military affairs,
not arbitrary Imprisonment. The case
was argued in the appellate court to-
day. Some time will probably elapse
before the case is decided.

Americans in the Conspiracy.

New York, Dec. "A special to the
Herald from st. Petersburg says:
Another disturbance broke out in
Seoul, the capital of Corea, November
80, during which the royal guard tried
to obtain by force entrance to the pal
ace. 1t appears, however, that they
were not successful. It is stated on
authority that there were Americans
mixed up in the conspiracy. The jap
anese deny that they have anything
whatever to do with this latest con.
spiracy in Corea, but they are now in
clined to think that the retirement OF
the Japanese troops will be the signal
for all the old troubles to recommence,
as in former times.

by Twelve Minutes.

New York, Dec. 4.-The first mill

Second separate company, District OF
Columbia National Guard, dismounted
at the barge Office at 4:48 A. M, IL

to cover the distance, 249R miles.
Lieutenant Libby was the bearer of a
special message from General Nelson
A. Miles, at Washington, to General
Thomas 81. Ruger, ON Governors ISL
and. Libby and Pitkin rode all the
way from Washington, starting earlier
than the others, and arrived at New
Brunswick in time to rest before start
ing on the last relay. Libby said:
1t began to rain as we came out of
New Brunswick and the roads were
vile all the way here. We came by
the plank road from Newark, but the
riding was bad. Some policemen
stopped us because our lights were out,
but let us proceed when we told them
our mission. My left leg is a little
stiff, but otherwise I feel all right. !"
Pitkin looked as fresh as if he had rid
den but ten miles instead of $50.

-PuLlTzER.s GIFT.


Paris Is Presented With . Statue of
washington and sndLafaycsse.
Paris, Dec 3.-Bright weather shone
upon the ceremony today of unvelling
the group of statuary Of Washington
and Lafayette, modelled by the we'll
known sculptor Frederick August Bar
tholdi, and presented to the city Of
Paris by Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the
New York World. A notable as
semblage witnessed the unveiling.
Among the company present were
Henry Vignaud, first secretary Of
the United States embassy; Major San
ford G. Kellogg, military attache, and
Lieutenant r. P. Rodgers, naval at
tache of the emabssy; the Hon. Will
lam T. Quimby, United States minis
ter to the Netherlands; Samuel e.
Morss, United States consul-general in
Paris; General McCook; M. Bartholdi,
the sculptor; the project of the Seine;
M. Frelmige, designer Of the pedestal;
a number of French officials, and many
ladies.
The site of the bronze group is at the
west end Of the Place des Eatts Unis,
in the most fashionable quarter of
Paris.
Ballard Smith, London correspond
ent Of the New York World, first made
a short speech, presenting the group Of
statuary, and was frequently applaud.
ed. He said:
81 am here today as the representa-
tive of Joseph Pulitzer, who honors
himself and his country in presenting
this statue of Washington and Lafay-
ette, kindred names in the deepest afeo-
tions of the two peoples, to this beauti-
full and historical chief city of our sis
ter republic. If he could have been
here, Mr.. Pulitzer would doubtless say
more than can Of the patriotic and
affectionate motives which inspired his
gift; but we can perhaps sufficiently
interpret Mr.. Pulitzer's cardinal mo-
tive by quoting the inscription that he
has prepared for the statue, which is
meant to be, as he has written it, and
speaking as he. undoubtedly may, for
all our fellow-citizens:
Homage to France, in gratitude
for her generous cooperation in the
struggle of the people of the United
States for liberty and independence.
Mr.. Smith then alluded to the fact
tina it was Mr.. Pulitzer's good for
tune, as editor and proprietor Of the
New York World, to inaugurate the
popular subscription which gave a
worthy pedestal to Nj. Bartholdi's
statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World" in New York harbor, and in
conclusion, in Mr.. Pulitzer's name, he
presented the group to the city Of
Paris.
The military band that was present
thereupon played the "Marsellaise.
M. Bourd, vice-president of the Paris
municipal council, in accepting the gift
for the city, briefly reviewed the his
tory of the two men thus represented
! in bronze, and said that the union of
flags under which Washington and La.
fayette stood hand in hand represented
really the union Of the people Of the
| two republics. He hoped the echoes of
today's cheers would traverse the ocean
and unite even more closely the two
nations. He thanked Mr.. Pulitzer
warmly. and also NJ. Bartholdi for
the manner in which he carried out biz
conception.

ways devoted to the cause in which
she enlisted. One of the greetings sent

DEPARTMENT OF WAR
Annual Report of the Secre-
tary of the Navy.
A VERY EXHAUSTIVE DOCUMENT
A High Compliment Paid to the Excel
Iency of Construction OF the
New Vessels.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The annual
report Of the secretary Of the navy is a
very exhaustive document Of $4,000
words with numerous tables.
After reciting the facts OF the COM
pletion and commissioning of the new
Warships Olympia, Minneapolis and
Indiana, built by contract, and the
Maine, Texas and Amphitrite, built at
government navy yards, the secretary
calls attention to the failure Of the
ram Katahdin to make the rate of
speed named in the contract for her
construction, and refers the matter to
congress. He says the department ex-
poets the Terror and Monadnock to be
In commission by February /, 1896.
and the Puritan about July /, 1895.
He says delays have occurred in con.
struction of vessels by the custom of
transferring workmen from the oon-
struotion to the repair department., in
order to avoid increasing the force of
workmen. This custom has been abol-
lshed in the government yards, and
the secretary enters protest against
the habit of congress of relieving CON-
tractors from penalties imposed tor de-
lays by the department..
The secretary pays high compli-
ment to the excellence of construction
of the new vessels.
OF the vessels now in course Of con-
struction, he predicts that the first
class battleship Iewa will be completed
about October, 1897. The first class
battleship Massachusetts is practically
completed, except as regards the
armor. 1t is estimated that the ves-
sci can be completed in about eight
weeks after the delivery Of her armor.
The first class battleship Oregon is as
far advanced as is practical before the
delivery of armor and gunmounts-
About six months will be required for
their installation. The Brooklyn will
not be ready for trial in less than one
year.
No substitute for wood for some
parts of vessels having been found, the
department. has adopted the electric
freprooing company's method of treat
ing the wood used.

bring water from Butte creek, over
forty miles. This will be expensive
1t will give water all the year around.
James G. Birdsey, who has large
holding on Kane creek, is at the head
of these enterprises. James Branden,
an Indian man, is at the head of still
larger enterprise, to reconstruct an old
canal on Rogue river, first, four miles
to Gold Hill, and then six miles to
Foote creek. The canal will be sixteen
feet on top, eleven feet on the bottom
and five feet deep.

AN ARMENIAN PARDoNED.
The Sultan Acted Fayorably Upon
Request From This Government.

Columbus, Ind, Dec. About a
year ago Rev. 2. T. Sweeney, of this
city, formerly consul-genera1 to Con-
stantinople, under President Harrison,
was asked to carry a petition to Wash.
ington, representing the woman g board
of foreign missions of the United
States, for the pardon of Sahag Maids
sian, an Armenian schoolteacher, who
translated sentence of scripture for a
friend, who circulated it in the market
place of an interior Turkish town. For
this offense both were arrested and sent
into exile to Mourzeook, in the oasis of
Fezzan, in the desert Of Sahara. The
friend died, but Sahag has lived
through great abuse and suffering.
The Rev. Mr.. Sweeney, while in
Office, opened up communication with
Sahag, and sent him money through
Sir Drummond Hay, the English con-
sul-general at Tripoli. These mission
airy societies took up his case, and
Elder Sweeney, in company with ex-
Congressman George w. Cooper, pre-
sented petition signed by 400, 900

ment at Washington, which forwarded
it to the sultan. News has just reach

That Eastern Question.

1naG EaSt6rn question:
New York Trlbune.]
For the first time in the history of
Oriental politics, the six great powers
of Europe are thoroughly in accord and
acting in conert in bringing the Otto
man government to its senses. Their
combined fleets have sailed for Turkish
waters, with the object of impressing
upon the porte that the civilized world
will no longer put up with mere prom
ises of reform, but requires the inn
mediate execution of long -unfulfilled
pledges. The projected naval demon
stration of the powers at Constantine
pie may be relied upon to bring mat
ters to crisis. For it will prove to
the Turks that Europe is in earnest as
well as in accord, while it may like
wise serve to strengthen the position of
the well-intentioned, but unfortunate
sultan, by proving to his ieges that if
he yields to the unbelievers it is not by
mediation, as they allege, but under
oompulsion.

An upper berth isn't worth as much

quite probable that the uppers in any

The Rumored Cabinet Crisis

Berlin, Dec. 4.-The newspapers
state that Baron Won Koeller, Prussian
minister of the interior. has been
granted an indefinite leave of absence
and will undoubtedly be dismissed.
Herr Zuoulis, councillor of state and
Trainer of last years anti-revolution
bill, which failed to pass the reichstag,
in spite of strenuous efforts in it's be-
half by the government, is designed as
his successor.
Dissatisfaction with the cabinet has
seemed to center for some time past on
Baron Won Koeller, and Emperor Will
lam is said to have been displeased
with his recent maladriot prosecution
of socialists for les majestic.
This action towards Baron Won Koel-
Ter gives confirmation to rumors Of a
cabinet crisis, which have been current
for some time past.
