days prevented any reckoning.

So quickly did he move, that
he almost knocked a subor-

The captain had seen signals

ARMY NEWS.

REPORTED SPECIALLY FOR THE LIGHT.
A military convict, serving in
the Kansas state penitentisry a
term of ten years for an assault
upon Captain Pope, the comman-
dant Of the military prison, has
applied through counsel, for a
writ of habeas corpus. The papers
have been issued by Judge Foster
and served upon Warden Chase.
The grounds upon which the writ
is based is that the court which
tried him for the offence has no
Jurisdiction, he having already
been dishonorably discharged from
the service. The points raised in
the case have already been decided
by Judge Foster, a similar case
coming before him in 1876, but
the judge then stated that he
hoped the case would be taken
to the higher court for final
decision, as the points involved
were Of great Importance, and
while the court expressed slight
doubt as to the constitute onality
of the section 1861, under which
the trial took place, he was COM
PEELED in order to uphold a proper
administration in the army to de-
eide as he did, and the prisoner
was remanded.
The result of the target practice
Of last year is published. Company
g, Seventh infantry, secured the
highest general figure Of merit,
1888, winning the Nevada trophy,
now in possession Of troop X, Fifth
cavalry. The department Of Texas
has the highest general figure OF
merit, 1886, and California the
lowest, $3.50. The percentage for
the entire army to 64I5. In the
cavalry arm the Eighth cav.
airy stands first and in the
army it stands second. The
Tenth cavalry stands lowest in
the cavalry and the army stands
No. 81. In the infantry the Sew.
'enth is No. l, and the Third the
lowest.
Corporal Frederick B. Shaw, OF
Company A, Twenty-frst infan-
try, has been ordered to Fort Col
umbus for examination for promo
ton.

tain E. B. Savage, Eighth infantry
