and st would be difficult to make a
reasonable guess today as to whether
Tracy or Low will receive the largest
vote. While the confusion is so grea,
that anything like reasonable estimate
is impossible. the Indications now are
that the contest may in the end be

quite as much torn away from their

REPRIMAND OF LOWERING.
The Punishment Declared made
quate For the ORense.

The Punishment Declared made
quate For the ORense.
Washington, Dec. 6,-Secretary Alger to-
day made public the reprimand administer
ed to Capt. Lowering by sentence of court
martial, as follows:
by ordor of the President, the proceed
ings, findings and sentence in the case of
Capt. Leonard A. Lowering of the Fourth
Infantry are approved. 1t Is, however,
disappointing that an offense so grave, and
as an example so far-reaching as this,
should have been visited by so light a
punishment. There is no question but
that Private Hammond deserved punish
ment for his conduct, but he should have
received it in a lawful way. The military
laws governing the army are most explicit
listed men, with the penalties for their
violation. Under them both have rights
and Obligations. When, therefore, an Of
ficer, with the intelligence and experience
with which Capt. Lowering is credited,
not only violates these laws, but exhibits
such a lack of humanity as is shown in
this case, he should receive a more severe
sentence than mere reprimand Com
hitting such acts degrades the officer more
than the soldier he Furnishes and shows I'M
fitness for the care and command of men.
Under excitiment men frequently do things
which in cooler moments they will recall
with sorrow and regret, but this case is
aggravated by the fact that, after weeks
of elaboration, this officer evinces no re-
greet for his wrongful acts

PRISON PUNIsHMENTs.
The OLD Question of Corporal Disci-
pIine BObs Up Again.

Austin, Tex, Dec 6.-At the morning
session of the national prison congress, the
reports of the standing committees on pris-
on discipline and prison punishments were
submitted, showing marked progress in
both departments. The old question Of
corporal punishment bobbed up again and
during the course of the discussion War
den Stark of Missouri said that rapists, in
cendiaries, murderers and robbers were
sent to penitentares, and yet TO hear the
northern brethren one would think that
nobody but Sunday school children were to
be found In penitentiares; that in Missou-
ri no man was punished until he needed il;
that the way the northern brethren talked
the convict was the finest thing in the land
and should not be touched.
A resolution was passed along the line
providing that at the next meeting of the
congress in indianapolis each state shall
make an exhibit of pentitentiary work and
discipline in order that ALI may be bene-
fitted thereby.
The congress closed its final session TO-
night, and quite a Rumber Of the members
will leave to-morrow on an excursion to

ADAMsON LOADED WITH BILLS
One of the Number a Result of HO-
gansviIIe's PostOffice Middle.

gansviIIe's PostOfice Middle.
Washington, Dec. 6.-Representative
Adamson who represents the Georgia dis
trict in which the Hogansville postofice
is located, to-day introduced a bill to
amend the postofice regulation intended
indirectly to adjust the difficulty now ex-
isting at that office. one of the provis-
ions of the bill directs that the mail boxes
on all cars shall be kept open at all sta
lions, except when closed for sanitary
reasons
Since the alleged shooting of the colored
postmaster at Hogansville the citizens of
that town have refused to patronize the
postoffice, and have mailed their letters
at the postal car The department author
lied the postal car to be closed a HoganS-
vile, hoping by that means to force the
citizens to recognize the Objectionable
postmaster.
Another feature of Mr. Adamson's bill
provides that in making appointments at
presidential postoffices, the postmaster
shall be appointed upon the joint recon-
mendation of the two United States sena-
tors, providing they can agree upon the
candidate. If they differ as to the person
to be selected the representative of the
district in congress shall control the ap-
po1ntment.
There is also a provision in favor of
making all postoffices money order Of
fees, and that the free delivery system
shall be used at all fourth class postoffices
once a week.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Adamson's bill
contemplates some radical changes in the
postal laws. and he may not be able to
convince both houses of the wisdom of
his proposed measure. He says he is in
earnest on the subject, and will endeavor
to secure favorable action.
He also introduced a bill to settle the
financial question 1t provides for the
free ard unlimited coinage of silver pro-
vdes for legal tenders of both gold and
silver, repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on
state banks, retention of the greenbacks,
the issue of coin certificates, redeemable
in either gold or silver at the option of the
secretary of the treasury, and the coming
of the silver bullion in the treasury.
Mr.. Adamson has cut out a large piece
of work for the present congress, provid-
ing the bills he presented to-day receive
serious consideration.
1t is the judgement of the most conser-
vative men in both branches of congress,
that no radical financial legislation will be
enacted during the present session. The
tone of the Presidents message, does not
give much hope in that direction.

ISSUE TAKEN WITH THE BISHOP.
Rev. Sid Browne Denies There Is
warrant From God For Murder.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 6.-Rev Sid H.
Browne, editor of the Christian Neighbor,
and president of the South Carolina Peace
Society, takes issue with Bishop Capers
as to some statements made in his call
to ministers to preach against murder. The
bishop, who was a general in the confed-
crate army, therein stated that the soldier
on the battlefield, the citizen in protect
ing his life and the law officer were ex-
cused from the guilt of murder because
they acted by warrant of the rulers, who
are the ministers of God. Mr.. Browne
says the bishop speaks like valiant gen.
eral, but there is no warrant from God
