THE STORY UNCONFlRMED.
GRAY CABLES CANNOT BE
REACHED BY TELEGRAPH
OR TELEPHONE.
REPORT PROBABLY GRoUNDLEss
1t Spread Over the Country Rap
idly, but Its Source Could
Not Be Learned.

NEW YORK, Oct ia report
obtained wide circulation through
out the country at AN early hour this
morning that President Cleveland
had been assassinated at his home at
Gray Gables, near Buzzard's Bay.
Concerning this rumor the following
message has just been received from
Boston:
"All telephone connection with
Buzzard's Bay is through New Bed
ford. Can't raise Buzzards s Bay, nor
has it been on the, wire since 9
o'clock. The New Bedford operator
says nothing could have gone out of
Buzzard's Bay by telephone without
his knowing it, hence he believes
there is nothing in the report. The
Western Union closed ait Buzzard's
Bay long time ago."
According to report received at the
New York office of the Associated
Press from New Bedford, Mass, early
this morning, a woman was murdered
in the suburbs of New Bedford last
night. The police while searching for
the murderer passed within sight of
Gray Gables. They We're observed by
some of the country people and from
this incident the rumor is surpassed to
have originated.
1t is impossible to establish tele-
graphic or telephone communication
with the Cleveland residence tonight,
but in case of any accident or incident
of this nature the local police at New
Bedford would undoubtedly be noti-
fed Lieut.. Comstock, who is in
charge of the New Bedford police, said:
Il have heard nothing of the report
and to the best of my knowledge and
belief the rumor is untrue

SCORED sCHOFIELD.
EX-COmmander of the Army Re-
ceives n Severe Rebuke.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-Judge
Bradley of the district supreme
court today ordered the discharge
from custody of Capt. George A.
Armes, who was arrested on the
order of Lieut.. Gen. Schofield, just
prior to the latter's retirement from
command of the army, for having
written him an insulting letter.
Judge Bradley scored the action of
the late general of the army, charac-
terizing it as unlawful, tyrannical
and capricious. Judge Bradley
said: "The arrest and taking away
of Armes into custody and carrying
him away from his home to bar
racks, and holding him in close ar
rest without any antecedent charge
of crime preferred in any way
against him, was, and is, unjust, un-
lawful. ARBITRARY, tyrannical and
capricious on the part of Gen. Scho-
field, in whatever capacity he acted,
whether acting as lieutenant general
or acting secretary of war. The
petitioner is discharged.
The judge then went into the mat
ter at considerable length, and said:
mo charge was preferred against
Armes at the time of his arres = no
crime has been charged since, and
for the offence alleged no arresnrwas
necessary. The arrest and confine-
ment were unlawful and oppressive.
AS the offense charged would upon
substantiation result only in repri-
mand, suspension or dismissal, the
possession of the body of the accused
was not necessary to carry out the
charges, as would have been the case

PRESBYTERIANs IN SESSION.
Moderator Elected at the State
Conference Mt Winona.


Special to the Globe
WINONA, Mimi, Oct. 10-About 200
delegates have arrived in this city in
the past two days to attend the Pres
byterian state synod, which opened
this evening at the First Presbyterian
church, of this city, at half-past
o'clock. Long before the time for the
session to commence the church was
crowded. The interior had been dec
GRATED in most attractive style, pot
ted plants and cut flowers being placed
in a heavy bank on the front plat
form.
The session was opened by DIR. Bell,
of Winona, with prayer, Rev. F. N.
F1ndley, of Duluth, retiring moderat-
or, being in the chair. Dr. Hunter, of
Minneapolis, read the scripture lesson.
Prayer by Rev. Keirhley was followed
by the national hymn. Moderator
Ffndley delivered the address of the
evening from the text, jeremiah xxx,
l. He took up the subject of religion
and politics. The church was the
great power IN politics and exerted an
immense influence, often causing revo-
luuons. If the church retained the
governing power, the country was al
ways the better for it. Each Christian
voter should cast his ballot for the
maintenance of churchly purity in the
government. Nomination was made
of Pleasant Hunter, Minneapolis, for
moderator. IA motion was carried
closing nominations. Mr. Hunter was
elected unanimously and took the
chair. The roll call showed a large
attendance. George E. Keithley, of
Duluth, was elected clerk The report
of the committee on arrangements
was approved, and adjournment was
taken to $50 a. M
Those present attending the confer
ence from st. Paul are as follows: DR..

if imprisonment or death was to be
the sentence"
Speaking of the presidents power
in army matters the judge said:
''The president of the United States
is commandments of the officers
| OF the army on the retired list. This
function of the chief executive, how
ever, is unaccompanied by harrow
ing care or weighty responsibility
His title of commander-in-chie so
far as it relates to retired officers, is
shorn of all power to impose duties,
and appears to be an empty name.''
The judge advocate generals office
of the war department has deter
mined to take an appeal from the
decision of Judge Bradley. This will
carry the matter to the court of ap-
peals of the District of Columbia.
RIGHT OF COURT-MARTIAL.
Judge Bradley expressly recog-
nized the right to court-martial re-
tired army officers, saying: by sec
ton 1856 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States he is subject to
to trial by general court-martial for
any breach thereof " And he de-
clared that arrest was not essential
to a court-martial. Speaking of the
/, letter written to Gen. Schofield by
Afmes,F he cited the articles of war
relative to complaints by officers and
men, and said: This was a personal
and private communication to that
| officer. 1t makes grave charges of
persecution, injustice, wrong and un-
just and improper official action by
Gen. Schofield to the petitioner. If
these charges were true, would their
making be conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman, or conduct
prejudicial to good order and mil
itary discipline? If the petitioner
believed or thought that they were
we'll founded, would it be such con-
duct? Is it possible that an officer
in active service may lawfully seek
redress from the commanding Off
Ger of his regiment, who he thinks
has wronged him, and that COM
mon soldier may lawfully complain
of an officer if he thinks himself
wronged by him, but a retired Off
Ger, out of active service, engaged in
the pursuits of civil life, cannot COM
plain to the general commanding
the army of wrongs that he thinks
or believes that the general has in
fiicted upon him, without being SUBJ
jected to summary arrest and in
generation and ultimate trial by
court-martial? If so, then there is
a rigid unwritten discrimination
against such. an officer that should
receive early attention and righting
from our national legislature"
The war department officials were
naturally much disappointed and
chagrined at the decision of Judge
Bradley in the case. Secretary La
mont refused to say what his pur-
pose was, but it is inferred, in view
of the breadth of the decision, that
no attempt will be made to try the
captain by court-martial pending
the action of the appellate court up
on the appeal noted today. The
case has outgrown its original i'm
portance in view of the courts ac-
tion today, and now becomes of alb
sorbing interest to all of the army,
involving, as it is said to do, the
whole question of the amenability
of retired officers to discipline.

ALEXANDRIA, Mimi, Oct. 10
Edwin P. Evans shot himself this
afternoon after attempting to kill
his divorced wife. This afternoon he
followed the lady around town, meet
ing her several times, and about 4:45
the attempted murder and suicide
occurred. Evans met his wife.
passed her, and then turned and
fired three shots from a 32-caliber
revolver into her head, one striking
the top of her skull, one her face
and one her neck. He then turned
the revolver and put two bullets
through his own heart and dropped
dead. Mrs. Evans did not lose con-
sclousness, and was taken to the
doctors office, had her wounds
dressed, and was taken home. She
seems to be all right, but it will be
a miracle if she lives. He was about
twenty-five years old, and she is
several years younger. Last winter
the couple parted, and Evans claimed

MRS. Williams, but in court the evil

tuesday Judge Searle granted her
a divorce, and this capped the eli
max, and was the direct cause of
the crime. Evans was ALWAYS brood
ing over his wrongs, real or fancied,

looked for. He still loved his di-

FOR THE OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Robert II. Baker Soliciting Funds
From Government Employees.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-The civil
service commission has received in
formation of alleged solicitation of
funds from government employees for
Ohio campaign purposes by Robert T.
Baker, secretary of the Ohio State
Democratic association, who has been
acting as secretary to Represent tive
Layton, of Ohio. Whether Mr. Ba-
ker's action in issuing the solicitous
circulars constitutes a viola ton of the
laws prohibiting assessments by fed
eral employees is a disputed question,
the point at issue being whether he is
actually federal employe. He con-
tends that his relations with Repre-
sentative Layton, who pays him, are
entirely personal, and that his position
is not governmental. The civil serv-
ice commission have the matter under
consideration, but are not prepared to
say that the law has been violated.

Meyers telling the Indian police that

did not have the effect desired, as the
Indian police questioned Meyers right
to interfere. Some hot words passed.
1t is altogether probable that Capt

POWERS OF CoURTs-MARTIAI..
Assistant Secretary Doe Makes
Some Important Rulings

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-Assistant
Secretary Doe has made a decision
that tends to considerably restrict the
powers of courts-martial. He holds
that a soldier on bail for trial by a
civil court may be brought before a
court-martial for trial, and if the re-
suit of the military trial may be i'm
prisonment long enough to cover the
time for the mans trial by the civil
court, the military proceedings must
be postponed.
Another decision defines the respon-
sibility of a captain to his colonel, and
it is held that the regulation making
the captain responsible for theoretical
and practical instruction of his COM
pany does not make him Independent in
that respect of his colonel, who is re-
sponsible for the captains conduct.
decision of Importance to officers
who intend to retire under the thirty
years service law is to the effect that
in calculating the service the time
spent as cadet may be included.
