LIEUT.. MAHONEY'S SENTENCE,
1t Is Approved by the Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy

1t Is Approved by the Acting secre-
tary of the Navy.
Acting Secretary McAdoo has approved
the proceedings. findings and sentence of
the general court-martial in the case of
First Lieut.. James E. Mahoney, United
States Marine Corps, stationed at the
Brooklyn navy yard. The charges in this
case were scandalous conduct, tending to
the destruction of good morals absence
without leave and drunkenness The ac-
cused pleaded not guilty to the first charge
end guilty without intent" to the other
two charges. The court found him guilty Of
the first and third charges and not guilty
of the second, and sentenced him Ito lose
one-half of his present pay for the period
o. one year, amounting to 81 $50; to lose two
numbers in his grade and to be publicly
re primanded by the Secretary of the Navy.
In his review of the case the Judge adyo-
cate general of the Eavy says there are OBJ
1ect1onS to sentence of this character.
After mature consideration and notwith-
StanClng some doubt respecting The aGe-
qUacy of the sentence" he says, in view of
the circumstances of aggravatlon attending
the case, l have reached the conclusion
that the return of the record to the court
would probably serve nc useful purpose,
and considering that the sentence as it now
stands is one which the court in its discre-
ton had power to impose, | have the honor
to recommend its approval by the depart
ment- Believing, however, that it is mad
v-sabie in cases where substantial SEN
tcnce is imposed by the court, that an Of
ficer suffering such substantial punishment
should, in addition thereto, be subjected to
a reprimand, it is further recommended
that no repriTand be administered except
such as may be involved in the publication
of the substance of the comments herein
contained with such additional remarks as
the department may proper to add
thereto in the general order promulgatinS
the ease. In conclusion, the attention OF
the department is invited to the recon-
menGation of Clemency in this case, signed
by six of the nine members of the court,
based on the exemplary character borne by
the accused in the Marine Corps, as testi-
fed to and shown by the reports of fitness
from his commanding officers. Entertain
ing, as L do, grave doubts respecting the
adequacy of the sentence imposed, / am
UEable to concur in this recommendation. -
The acting secretary indorsed the record:
Approved as recommended by the judge
advocate general, and the comments here
inbefore contained will be embodied in the
general order promagating the result of
the trial.

TEX AS AND VIRGINIA
Republicans Pleased With the Developments
in Those States. -
Failure of Fusion in One and the
Combine in the Other May Lose
..It.. Both for Bryan. I.l.u.

The republicans are naturally pleased
with the developments in Texas and Vir-
ginia. The failure of fusion between the
populists and democrats in Virginia and
the accomplsh hment of fusion between the
republicans and populists in Texas, may re-
suit in Mckinley carrying both those
states. The circumstances surrounding the
failure of fusion in Virginia are calculated
to anger the populists of that state, and to
cause the loss of many votes to Bryan.
Ordinarily the democrats do not count a
fusion as necessary to secure the state of
Virginia to them, and they have shown
great independence in dealing with the
populists. and have finally slapped the
populists in the face. Apparently they
have not taken into account the fact that
they are going to lose the sound money
democratic vote, which will follow Gov
ernor OFerrali. The way the local demo-
clats have treated the populists and the
intensity OF feeling between the sound
money and the free silver democrats NAV
cost Bryan the state.
The Condition in Texas
The best private information concerning
the republican-populist fusion in Texas in
dicates that it will give great strength to
the anti-Bryan ticket. Col Sterett of the
Galveston News. who has been studying
the situation in the state with great care,
travelling for several weeks through all
sections, says that the populists have a
perfect organization in Texas, much bet
ter than either of the other parties. The
fact is that the populists there are we'll
enough organized to render them of them
selves very respectable rivals of the demo-
cratic party, and the combination of the
republican forces with them puts the state
so far in the doubtful column that no one
can make any intelligent prediction as to
the result.

THE EXECUTIVE MANSION
Fixing It Up for the Occupancy of the Presi-
dent and His Family.
Expected to Return to Washington
This Week-Wfll Probably
Go to WOodley.

Active preparations are in progress at
the White House today for the return of
the President and Mrs. Cleveland. An army
of workmen is engaged in laying carpets in
all the parlors, corridors and Railways,
ard another force is at work rehanging the
portieres and curtains, busting off the fur
niture, and otherwise preparing the prem
iseS for the occupation of the chief eXecu-
tive and his family. New carpets are being
laid in the east room, the main corridor
on the first floor and the library on the
second floor. They are beautiful speci-
mems of the weaver's handicraft, and give
brighter and more cheerful aspects to the
apartments which they adorn. That In the
beautiful east room is of an old gold color,
with figures of a darker hue harmonizing
ely with the general white and gold eff
feet of the decorations of walls, ceiling and
furniture.
Expected This Week.
Although none of the officials will admit
knowledge of the subject, it is generally
believed that the President and family will
leave their summer home at Gray Gables,
on the classic shores Of BuZzard's bay, to-
morrow or the next day, i'll order to take
up their abode at the national capital for
the winter. They were not expected to re-
turn before the 1st of Novmber, but it is
supposed that the cold spell now prevailing
IN New England has caused change in
their original plans. In all probability they
will make the trip from Gray Gables TO
New York in MIR. Benedict's steam yach;
Oneida, which is now anchored off their
summer home.
While Mrs. Cleveland and the children
will probably make short visit to Mr.
Benedict's family at Indian Hill on their
journey home the President will undoubt-
edly come direct to Washington by the
first train from Jersey City. Details of his
proposed movements, however, are 'things
that no fellow can find out"
Will Probably Go to wOodIcy.
Although the presidential family may be
here before the close of the present week
1t is not likely, however, that they will take
up their residence at the White House fer
seH eral weeks yet, notwithstanding the
fact that the building will be ready for
their occupancy in few days. 1t is said
that the President desires to devote the
next few weeks to the preparation of his
annual message to Congress, and, mas
much as he usually prefers to do such
work in the seclusion of his country home
at Woodley, 1t is presumed that he will
spend most of his time there until he
moves into the Executive Mansion for the
winter. AS is well known. his country
home was badly damaged by the recent
storm, the roof and upper rafters being
blown away and the large windmill
wrecked. This damage has been entirely
repaired by a large force of workmen how
ever, and the premises are once more in
condition for occupancy.

Mr.. Samuel Blackwell, auditor Of the

last fiscal year the aggregate amount of
such cases Unsettled was $S4,269,7l3. a re-
Guction of more than one-third during

unsettled claims and accounts, $,3,O57, ,556
are in the pension division, $l,2o1, ,455 in the
Indian division, and S10,1O2 in the land,
files and miscellaneous division. The au-
ditor reports that all current work Is up
to date. He also says that another years
test of the Dockery accounting system has
convinced him of its great superiority over
the old system.
a Record Building Needed.
The auditor makes a strong argument IN
