Scarcely had the court martial troueht

COLONEL Maynard to move his brigade

following dsy to make a reconnoissance

dered an ambulance for his prisoner 10
rilo III, since he had no option but to
take her with him The distance 20 be
traversed was bat few miles, and al
though it was nearly sunset before the
command broke camp II. was barely dark
when tho tents were pitched in the new
situation. Luckily a house was found
for the reception of the prisoner, and
tho headquarters OF tho colonel COM
manding were established near it.
AS soon as Maynard's tent was pitch
ed he went inside and shut himself up
from every one. The matter of the life
iii his keeping, His desire TO save his
prisoner, the impossibility of his doing
SO except by betraying his trust and con-
niving at her escape, were weighing ter
ribly upon him. a desperate struggle
between his duty as an officer and his
repulsion at carrying out sentence
upon woman which had once been
passed upon himself was driving him
we'll nigh distracted. One thing was
certain--he could not save Miss Baggs
without sacrificing himself. . He was
ready TO sacrifice himself il no could do
so honorably. He might even consider
the matter Of doing that which he had
no right to do, but since the devil may
caro- days Of his scouting new world
had opened to him, which made tho
struggle moro complicated than il would
then have been. he had wife whom
he loved deyotedly, and any obloquy he
might take upon himself must be shared
by her and his son. He knew that If he
could conceive it TO be his duty, or If
ho could make up his mind without tho
approval of his conscience to connive
at the prisoners escape, no would have
a fair chance Of success. Ho was charg-
ed with the execution, and this would
give him power over her person. On
tho other hand, such violation of trust
was too horrible even for consideration,
and if he did not soregard it the pen.
atty he must suffer--disgracc il not
death-would well nigh kill his wife.
For long while he, rovolved these con-
siderationq in his mind and at last came
10 q decision 10 would suffer the tor
ture Of carrying out the sentence He
would do his duty 10 his country, his
wife oi,l LIS son.
He had scarcely arrived at this deci-
sion when u rieesage came from the
prisoner asking to SEQ him.
The racking of his whole nature,
which had been partially allayed by his
decision, camo hack TO him with the

Ho felt that tho resolution be had
formed was OF too little inherent

JUDGE LONG WINS.

Courts Grant Mandamus to Com.
pei Payment of His $72 Pen
sion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Judge Brad
ley. OF the district supreme court, today
granted the mardamus asked for by
Judge Charles d. Long. of Michigan, to
compel Commissioner Lochren, OF the
pension bureau, to restore the former
rating of S72 per month to tile plaintiff.
The mandamus against Secretary Smith
asked for by Judge Long was denied as
unnecessary
Three questions were involved in the
caSe-whether Commissioner Tanner
was justified in issuing the certificate
giving Judge Long ST. q month rat
lag; whether the commissioner of pen
SionS is empowered to review and re-
verse the action of his predecessor upon
the same state of facts for alleged error
in Judgment, to change the status OF
the reiator On the pension rolls
and to revoke his pension
certificates, and whether the
court has the power by mandamuS to di
rect the commissioner to vacate his Or
der OF revocation. The disabilities of
Judge Long, said the court III review
ing the case. are so permanent and total
as TO require the regular personal aid
and attendance OF another person, the
class Of cases for which congress fixed
rating OF $72 per month. No duty
was imposed and no authority
conferred upon the commission
er, SAID the court, to order Il
special in this case and the only cases
wherein the commissioner could in
crease or reduce the pension according
TO right and justice are those i'll which
biennial examinations had been re-
quired. Discussing the functions of
the commissioner OF pensions, Judge
Bradley laid down the proposition that
the commissioner is neither The govern.
meht nor congress. and cannot
give OF withhold pensions at his
pleasure. The action of Commits
sioner LOchren in revoking Judge
Longs certificates, it was held. was il
legal, and his clear duty, therefore, the
court said, is to revoke that order, re-
store the former rating from the pres
ent rate to $50 per month, and enforce
continuance Of such larger payments.
Summing up the case, Judge Bradley
held that the court had the power by
mandamus to compel the performance
of that dnty, and accordingly granted
the mandamuS asked.

PULLMAN'S PLEAS N. G.
Attorney General MolOney Files
Il Demurrer.

CHICAGO, Jan. G9.-Attorney Cen
eral Moloney's quo warranto proceed
ings against the Pullman Palace Car
company occupied the attention CT
Judge Baker today. The lengthy in
formation filed by the attorney general
was first read. To this information
the defendant company had, through
it's attorneys, filed in answer five Separ-
ate pleadings, each in turn demurred
to by the attorney general as bad and
insufficient answer. At the conclusion
of the reading of the information
counsel for the company introduced a
sixth plea, which was a restatenent of
the substance Of the other pleas, dealt
with somewhat more argumentatively
and accurately. This new plea was
promptly demurred to by the attorney
general. The answer denied but few
of the allegations of the Information,
but set out TO justify the actions OF
the company. The main argument OF
the defendants plea was that since
1880 all the acts Of the defendant COM
pany had been well known to the peo-
pie. That III 1891 a committee OF the
legislature had been appointed to as
certain the holdings of the company to
see if the corporation had been prop
erly taxed, and that this committee
report had been accepted. That in
these fourteen years the acts of the
company had either been acquiesced
in or waived, and it was unfair and
unjust to come forth at this late date
with quo warranto proceeding.
The entire afternoon was consumed
by the attorney general in his argu-
ment supporting his demurrer. He
will continue the argument tomorrow.

ATTACK WEI-HAI-WEI.
.yAPS ATTEMPT A STRPis ESE
AND GEE EREPJASED.
Advance Made by Land and Sea-
Invaders Suffer Severe
Less.

LONDON. Jan. pa dispatch to the
Times from Shanghai says the Chinese
military and naval commanders tele-
graph via Che-Foo that at 3 o'clock on
the morning of Jan. 26 the Japanese
fleet advanced upon Wei-Hai-Wei in
two divisions of nineteen ships. The
search-lights betrayed their presence
and the guns Of the Chinese fleet and
shore batteries opened fire on the iirst
division of the enemy's ships when they
were within a thousand yards
of the Chinese fleet. The fastest
Chinese man-of-War and torpedo
boats made dash at the
enemy, and, after heavy firing, drove
them off. The first division went to
the northwest and the second division
southwark. The Chinese claim 10 have
injured several OF the enemy's ships.
At the same time the Japanese made a
land attack upon Wei-Hai-Wei from
Ning-IIai. This was surprise from
the west. The alarm was given, how
ever, and the Chinese repealed the at
tack. The Chinese lost twenty seven
sailors. The japanese losses amounted
to more than 800 killed and wounded.
Several foreigners are said to DE assist
ing the Chinese.

LAWMAKERS. HONOR THE LAW

| LAWMAKERS, HONOR THE LAW
One of the most important duties
which the present legislature has to
perform is to enact some measure
covering the ground of the pine
land investigation ordered by the
last legislature. The committee has
submitted report covering some
thing like ninety pages of PAM
phlet and dealing with every branch
of the subject 1t is not to be eX-
pected that the legislature as a
body, or all the members, will read
the tiresome array of speculative
statistics contained in this lengthy
report, but there are one or two
facts in connection with the in
vestigatiOn upon which every men,
Der should be absolutely clear.
1t seems that very large sum,
about $4,000 in fact, has been arbi-
trarily taken from the school fund
on the recommendation of this COM
mittee for the purpose Of paying
attorneys fees and expenses in the
conduct of the case. There could be
no clearer or more unmiStakable vi
olation of the constitutional act gov
erning the disposition of the money
accruing from the sale or lease of
school lands. The timber in question
was cut from school lands, and
when it was paid for there is 10
fund to which it could be properly
credited except to the school fund.
The silly expedient of crediting it to
miscellaneous receipts and subse-
quently transferring it to the school
fund in no way lessons, if it does
not positively aggravate the irregu-
larity of the proceeding.
If the legislature accepts and ap-
proves this portion of the commit
tees work it becomes a party to the
violation of the law, and will be
justly entitled to even more CEN
sure than the interested parties who
have been benefited by the transac-
ton
If the committee exhausted it's ap-
preparation there was only one
course for it to pursue; to ask the
legislature for a deficiency appro-
priation. If the work Of the COM
mittee justified such an appropria-
ton it would be ungrudgingly given,
but the haste with which the COM
mittee has thrust its hand into the
school fund for the payment of I'M
authorized bills would indicate that
it did not expect the approval of the
legislature, and wanted to reimburse
itself while it had a chance
The very fact that it became pos
sible for any person not properly an
official Of the state and under no
adequate bond to have free access
to the fund sacredly set apart for
the use Of the children of the state
is sufficient to stamp the whole pro-
ceeding as irregular and against
public policy.
The committee should be required
to turn into the treasury, to the
credit Of the school fund, every
dollar it has collected for school
land timber, and the legislature
should then make an appropria ton
to cover every reasonable and le-
climate expense of the committee.
This is the only way in which the
expense can be legitimately paid,
and it is the only way in which the
committee can comply with the re-
quirements of the law Therefore,
it is the only course which can prop
erly be adopted.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-The alter
neys for all parties interested in th3
will Of Senator James q. Fair met today
in conference regarding the THEFT or the
document from the county clerks
vaults. The counsel for the Fair chill
dren maintain that tile purlo!ning of
the will was in the interest of the eXecu-
tors. 1t is claimed by some that the
will filed with the county clerk is a
forgery. LII proof OF this it is stat
ed that after Fair signed the
Will six sheets were removed and
substituted by others containing The
provisions creating the trust, the conui-
lions under which the executors act and
the disinheritance of any children who
may be born to Charles l.. Fair. the sur
yiying son. 1t is said that the subSti-
tuted sheets of paper were OF a differ
ent manufacture than the others, and
some assert that the theft was designed
TO cover up this discrepancy. There Is
no clue to the robbers, but the deputy
in the county clerks office rests under a
cloud of suspicion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The secre-
tary of the treasury has directed the
assay officials at New York to exchange
gold bars for legal tenders at all advance
of one-tenth Of l per cent instead of
one-eighth. This reduction was made
for the reason that nearly all of the
gold coin now Oh hand Is new, and,
therefore, has lost nothing by abrasion.
