Has Not rendered His Resig-
nation and Does Not
Propose To.
Believes the Report Sprung
From a Casual Remark
to a Friend.
Thinks He Is in Full Accord
With the Views of the
President.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Secretary
Gage was seen on his return from New
York and questioned as to the truth OF
the published report that he had ten'
dered his resignation to the president
and that 1t had been firmly declined
with many expressions Of confidence
and appreciation Of his ability, as
shown in his administration of the
treasury department..
Mr.. Gage was not inclined to discuss
the matter at length, but said that he
had not rendered his resignation, nor
had he any reason to believe that he
and the president were not in substan.
tial accord Oh the
Great Questions Now Before the Country.
The report, he said, probably sprung
from remark he Lad made to intimate
friends that not for anything would he
mbarrass the president and that if he
was doing this he would resign at
once. He added:
"a cabinet officer ought always to be
ready to surrender his Office at the call
OF his chief, the executive, but I have
not the slightest reason to believe that
such action on my part is even re-
motely desired by the president. The
desires Of other people in that direction
am not disposed to consider.

The sentiment of justice in the Amer
lean people commends the public repri-
mand administered to Captain Leonard
A. Lowering of tho Fourth United States
infantry for his brutal treatment OF
Private Hammond at Fort Sheridan.
Private Hammond had gone away with
out leave from the post where he was
stationed in the east. Fearful of arrest
as Il descrtcr, he soon after gave himself
up at Fort Sheridan. He expected to be
sent back to his post He was put under
arrest. He was also ordered to do some
work, which he refused to perform OH
the ground that he was i'll. Then Cap
tain Lowering ordered him to 80 and do
it anyhow He refused and resisted tho
attempt to make him obey. Then he
was tied with ropo, forcibly dragged
out and kicked and punched with bayo-
nets, Captain Lowering experimenting
tho performance. Hammond certainly
was insubordinate, hut, as the findings
of the court martial show, there were
abundant means to punish him without
treating him like dog. The lesson will
be salutary one to West Point upstarts
in general.
