Dir. J. =. Morrison. of the Judge-Advocate-

Closson, Commandant at the Washington Bar

of the District Supreme Court, for the execu-

in the case of Maj. Armes. In submitting this
mandate Of the Court to Judge Bradley, Mr..
Morrison announced his purpose not 10 ask
that there be any actual return by the Court
its officers of the body of Maj. Armes to the
actual custody of Col Closson. The explana
tion OF this action of the Governments attor-
ney i'm this case is that the Secretary of War is
not inclined to proceed further against Maj.
Armes unless his future course of conduct
shonld render such step necessary. The
officers of the law department of the Army
regard the action Of the Court OF Appeals as
complete viDdicstion of the course of action
taken by the military authorities in the prem

read of it decided to attend. 1t is an easy

little Chinese lady who stood in her quaint
robes, bowling amiably, and saying: How do"

crowd was so great that the only way to get rid
OF it when o'clock came was TO close the tea
room, then there was no difficulty in ending the
reception, which looked like very bad manners
for the Americans.
few years ago the Legation tried to give a
ball, and issued goody number of in vitations,
but mob of unlimited folks came who, from
curiosity, and because they had heard that wine
was to flow like rivers and souvenirs of great
worth were to be presented, forgot all courtesy
and all decency. The rooms were too crowded
to dance in or even to talk in and the refresh
ment tables were literally besieged. 1t was
really dsgraceful affair, and the Chinese may
entertain in Washington.
The trouble is in Washington that most big
receptions are more or less public; that strangers
who want to see the sights in Washington can
attend many Of the entertainments, and WASH
