SPEAKER REED Is IN TOWN.
And II Goes Without saying That He Il In
Great Demand.

eHso ~ ootS w btuOut Say1OG Vn0I He IL IN
Great Demand.
Washington. Dec. speaker Reed
arrived in Washington yesterday after
noon and took up his old quarters at
the Shoreham for the winter. The
speaker said he did not care to express
himself concerning any Of the important
questions which are likely to come be-
fore congress at this session more than
to say that he saw no reason why the
session should be protracted. Reed
was accompanied by his secretary, AL
len. As soon as his presence in the
city was known he had q flood Of callers,
many of his associates in the house as
well as several senators being among
those who paid their respects. The
speaker looks exceedingly we'll and says
he was never in better physical condi-
ton.
General Alger, secretary Of war, has
been particular to have IL understood
that the reprimand in the Lowering
case will be severe, and that 1t will be
oouched in terms that will be in effect
also a lecture TO the court for making
the penalty so light. II the reprimand
IL so s;ernly worded as the secretary
or war expects IL to be, the order will
reflect the views OF the head Of the de-
partment and not those of the man who
draws Ii UP. Adjutant General Breck,
who Is that man, expressed himself
quite feelingly In the matter. and said
that in view OF what the army has done
for Chicago referring to what General
Miles calls the Chicago Instruction
OF 1880 he thought the citizens and
newspapers of that city were unjust
and harsh in their denunciation and
treatment Of Captain Lowering.
He left no doubt upon the hearers
mind that he was not inclined to regard
the captains offense as objectionable,
and. in fact. seemed quite inclined to
him. saying that the prisoner had to be
brought to the court, and as he had
said that he would rather die than pro-
coed. there did not seem to have been
any other method left for Captain Low
erirg than the one he adopted. General
Breck evidently considered the testi.
mony OF the post surgeon at Fort Sherf-
dan-that Hammond had but two trif.
Sng wounds-mere scratches-as the
result Of the terrible '.prodding with q
sword and kicking charged against the
capta.n-as conclusive as TO the in
juries OF the insubordinate soldier, and
as showing that they were not entitled
10 any consideration. He also seems
to think that as Hammond insisted
that he should be carried II would moi

End of the Railway Hearing.

Washington. Dec. 4.-The hearings of
railroad men before the interstate COM
merce commission in the matter Of ex-
tending the time for the equipment Of
railway cars with safety appliances
have come to an end, but there will yet
be some testimony given under oath.
1t is hardly probable that the commits
sion will extend the time more than
three years, and it may only extend it
q year at a time, requiring each railway
to do q proportionate amount Of equip
ment each year on pain Of having the
penalty applied.
