MAJOR ARMIES LIBERATED.
The Court Says His Arr est Was Unwar-
ranted.

Washington, October 10. Judge Brad
ley, this morning ordered the discharge
of Major Armes from the custody of the
military authorities by whom he was
held under orders Of General Schol6eld,
as acting secretary of war.
In an extended opinion reviewing the
facts in the case. the court said that
Major Armes's arrest and confinement
were in violation not only of the spirit,
but the letter of the army regulations,
and that in whatever capacity General
Scholfeld may havo acted, be it either as
lieutenant general of the army or as
secretary of war, his action was unwar-
ranted, illegal, unjust and tyranlcal.
The prisoner was entitled to his discharge
and such an order was issued. Some
applause followed the decision, but it
was promptly checked by the officers OF
the court
The Judge in his opinion held. that the
was the only occasion for the arrest and
confinement of Major Armes. Statements
made in letter delivered to Gen. Scho-
field contained some grave charges. Ii they
were true, or if Major Armes believed OF
thought they were we'll founded, was 1T,
the court asked, a breach of military
discipline for him to complain or seek
Justice for what he felt a grievance?
From the order discharging Major Armes,
Mr.. Morrison of the judge advocate
generals staff. attorney for the secretary
Of war, gave notice Of an appeal This
injected an unexpected element of un-
certainty into the speculatlons regarding
the future course of proceedings. 1t was
stated at the War department when the
charges were formally preferred against
Arlnes that court martial would be
summoned, and the prisoner prosecuted
before it, irrespective Of the decision in
the habeas corpus case. From Mr
Morrison S action it is inferred that the
proceedings against Armes in court
martial will be held in allegiance. await
ing further proceedings in the habeas
corpus case.

SOUNDED THE SEA.
Old Orchard Board of Trade Measuring &
for a Pier-Portland Steamboat oo-
panies Promise Aid.

Old Orchard, October 1o.-The Old
Orchard Board Of Trades committee
appointed to look up a suitable LOCATION
for the proposed pier, made some sound
ings in front of the beach at low tide this
morning.
1t was found that the water Increased
in depth about one foot in one hundred,
so that there is depth of fifteen feet at
a distance of 1900 feet from the shore.
The depth was found to be nearly the
same at all points, equally distant from
the shore and from this it is argued that
as far as these conditions go there Will be
practically little advantage in any OF the
proposed sites. Fifteen feet of water at
low tide, it is thought would be sufficient
for any excursion craft that would ce
likely to touch at Old Gerhard.
Thus far everything points to pier for
Old Orchard, and even if money enough
cannot be raised here, 1t is SAID there is
outside capital willing to go INTO me
project. Apparently wooden pier IS the
kind generally favored, though there are
some of the citizens who think an IRON
one would be most suitable and most
economical in the end. 1t is SAID thae
ST., 600 would pay for a wooden structure
complete, with the necessary paVlllon Oh
it, while $40, 600 at least would be re-
quired for an iron pier. Those who adyo-
cate the building of a pier of wood, claim
that the difference in lasting qualities
would not be so great as many imagine.
A heavy storm might cause the loosenlng
of an iron beam which would endanger
other parts of the structure. But doubt
less, this matter will be decided as a
majority agress
A stock company will probably be
formed shortly, and preliminary arrange
ments made SO as to begin work on the
pier early in the spring. Tho question
of location may cause a great deal OF
discussion. The committee which
sounded the depths of the Atlantic this
morning. had two sites in mind: They
made measurements in front OF the street
running past the Seashors House and the
railroad station, and also in front OF
Atlantic avenue, and it is said that each
of these places has its advocates.
Several steamboat companies, whose
lines run into Portland have been inter-
viewed by members of the Board of Trade
committee, and four or five OF them have
expressed hearty appreciation of the pier
project, and have promised substantial
announcement.

children that they might become noble
greater Importance.
Closely connected with the subject un-
der discussion was the next topic on the
programme, ga State Board of Educa-
tion." Mrs. Osgood explained that the
board of education proposed for this state
is modelled on that of Massachusetts.
1t would consist of six or seven persons
some of whom would be women. whose
terms of office would be so arranged that
one would retire each year. The mem
bers would be appointed by the governor
and the board would have charge of the
normal SCHOOLS and the expenditure of
school moneys now expended under the
direction of the Governor and Council.
The board would also appoint a Sec
retary who would do the work now done
by the State Superintendent of Schools.
The hour for adjournment having ar
rived, the discussion of the matter was
deferred until a later session. This
afternoon interesting papers were read
by Mrs. Fl. e. Mcdonald, president of
the Saturday Club of Brunswick, on the
Relation of the State Federation to the
Clubs; by Mrs. Augusta Oakes Larned
of the Women's Literary Union Of Lew
iston and Auburn, on the Relation of the
club to the Fedeation; and by Mrs. Noah
r. burgess OIL HOrUlanu, Oh JIle Ndluo

London, October 1O.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette publishes a second letter from It's
correspondent in Kucheng detailing the
difficulties attending communication
with Foo Chow and describing the trial
of the prisoner implicated in the out
RACES upon the missionaries. When the
court was ready, the writer says, the ac-
cused man was brought in handcuffed.
He is filthy in appearance and has the
wild and CHASTITY look of starved man,
the proceedings by swearing he was no.
where near the scene of the massacre,
and then the torture begins. The man
is first compelled to kneel with bare
knees upon a coil of chain. His head is
dragged back and his pigtail fastened to
rack high above his head; pole is
thrust across his legs and two soldiers
stand on each end of it, crushing the
poor wretch's knees into the coil of
chain The British consul could not
stand this method of extracting testimo-
nv ana insisted on it being stopped. This
was done as far as the proceedings in the
court were concerned. For an hour af-
forwards shrieks OF the tormented prison.
ers could be heard coming from an ad
jacent room where the torture continued.
When the magistrates wanted to hear
confession of tortured man. the prison
er was brought back into the court room.
If he held back the confession he was
threatened with a resumption Of the tor
ture This was usually sufficient to
cause the prisoner to tell all he knew,
rather than return to the torture cham
Der.
Besides the torture described, the pris-
oners were beaten with bamboo sticks
until they emitted yells most horrible
to hear. One prisoner appeared in the
court room unable to walk from the beat
ing he had received and unable to kneel
because his knees were broken by chain
links, and his thighs lacerated by strokes
of bamboo rods
In the midst of such misery, cakes,
fruits, tea and wines were served and
partaken of by native officials, who could
not understand why the foreigners pres
ent refused to touch the delicacies.
The correspondent declares the powers
ought to demand justice without tor
ture.
The whole business, he says, lies at
the door of corrupt officials.

ly take Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. This now
famous medicine has been for centuries
regularly used by the Indians. Their
freeness from this, as we'll as all similar
diseases is ample proof of its great
merits. When it is remembered that this
is skillfully compounded of roots, barks,
gums and herbs of the forest, and
contains no poisonous ingredients what
ever, it will be seen that no harm can
possibly attend its use; and the rapid
manner in which it accomplishes its
wonderful results will prove to the sufferer
that he has found at last that which
will give to him a new lease of life.

METHODIST.

Tt is the desire of all Methodists to erect
one of the university buildings as a
memorial to the late Rev. DIR. Aubry.
The money for this will be entirely given
by the clergy of the United States, that
they may thus perpetuate the name of
one who struggled to plant the faith in
the days when new trials, sufferings and
self-sacrifices came with every rising sun.
1t will be named ''Asbury Memorial
Hall - There is a strong probability
that the corner stone of this building will
also be laid at no distant day. Several
years ago, Mrs. John A. Logan devised
a means of raising million dollars for
the "Woman's Building" and it will
probably be the fourth structure Of the
series erected.

A SERIES OF STRUCTURES.

The general plans of the university call
for series of buildings
hall, hall of science, hall of history. hall
of philosophy, hall of languages and
literature, hall of law, hall OF medicine
and a woman's building. These will be
scattered over ninety acres of ground,
which affords many commanding sites.
1t is the wise policy of the university
trustees to steer clear of debt. Hence, no
buildings will be commenced until the
necessary funds are at hand
The hall of history seems to have
claimed the greatest interest OF the
friends of the university, who have sub
scribed $3.50, 900 for it's erection. There
fore, it will be the first structures OF
the series erected. The subscriptions were
all made in large sums.
General j. Watts de Pr ster OF Tiyoh,
N. Y, has founded by his munificent
donation of $15O, 600, the hall Of languages
and science. It will bear the name, .De
Peyster College of Languages. The
corner stone Of both these structures will
be laid within the next few weeks, with
imposing ceremonies.
