clusion of witnesses from the room during
the examination OF others, and this ques-
ton being settled, Captain George Wayne
Anderson was sworn.
He testified as to the court held on
the 9th Of November, and to the fact
that he was a member OF the court. when
asked for his reasons specifically and In
detail for his failure to try private Pohie
at the court-martial then held, he said
that something over a year ago. he having
been repeatedly detailed for court duty
by Colonel Jones, began to read up on the
laws governing the courts. He came TO
the conclusion that the courts ordered by
Colonel Jones were Illegally constituted.
and that every member OF the court laid
himself liable to civil action by the man
whom they tried. He stated that he had
called Colonel Jones's attention repeat
edly to this belief on his part, and II had
no effect upon him. He got of the court
for some time, but early In November was
ordered to resume his duties on the court.
He then appealed to Major Derbyshire
ard asked him 10 try and persuade the
Colonel that the courts as then being held
were illegal. Major Derbyshire declined
TO 10 so. He again asked that he be re-
lieyed from further duty with the court,
and stated to Colonel Jones that he could
not conscientiously serve under such or
ders. as he believed the proceedings to be
illegal. He was instructed TO reduce his
opinion to writing. and declined. because
ne maintained that that duty devolved
on the judge-advocate. He volunteered to
instruct the judge-advocate and have the
questions raised. and he left the Colonels
presence with the conviction that he had
his unqualified approval Of this course.
INSTRUCTED THE JUDGE-ADVO-
CATE.
Continuing. Captain Anderson said he
did instruct the judge-advocate and did
have the question raised in the court. and
II was with the utmost amazement that
he ascertained that Colonel Jones was
contemplating censuring the court for
what Il did. At the assemblage Of the
officers some days subsequent to the
court-martiai. ne said. Colonel Jones ere
ated the impression on the minds Of the
officers that the power had been AFRO

the court had acted. and succeeded IN

FINANCIAL JUGGIERY.
Mayor Strong Gets After the New York City
 Government.

Mayor Strong Gets After the New York City Government.
 New York, April 2.-Mayor Strong sent to the board of aldermen to-day a message on the financial condition of the city, in which he took occasion se- verely to criticise the former adminis- tration. Following statement of the city debt, the mayor says:
 "The condition of affairs, as herein presented, and the consequences of bond ed indebtedness that must be shown against the city at the close of this year, is attributable to the result of a system of financial jugglery as practic- ed by the previous administration in an apparent endeavor to mislead the public into the innocent belief that not withstanding the liberal and perhaps wasteful expenditures on special ac- counts during the year, particularly by the park department under the $1,OOO,, 900 act ostensibly to give work to the bAASAAAPAOJNo lhC NlNJ 1NPb iAeSt AACt bNNAA increased to the proportions that the statements herewith submitted indicate and with such delusion seek to produce a political as well as a. moral effect and leave to the future the realization and burden of the actual condition of the financial affairs of the city.
 An examination of the statements, as submitted by the comptroller justi- fies the belief that every technical sub terfuge was availed of to defer author izing the issue of bonds or to defer issu- ing them after they were authorized in 1894, leaving their issue and the respon- sibility of the same and the consequent increase of the bonded indebtedness to fall upon the administration of 1S95."
 The mayor also speaks sharply of mandatory legislation which increases the city debt, and goes over the history of assessments of corporations, which kept up assessed values, but many of which were set aside by the courts.
 He calls attention to the refusal of the board of estimates to pay the assess ment for the care of state insane in 1894 and 1895. and says that as the mat ter has been decided against the city the sum of $1, ,240, ,O7779 will have to be added to the budget for 1S96 which should have been paid in 1894 and 1895.
