membered that by her will Mrs. Van Ris-
wick left to her daughter Mrs. Martina
Carr. only a life estate in house No. 1419
X street northwest and a half interest in

Mrs. Carr objected to the probating Of
this will, claiming undue influence and,
after long trial. the jury, in Judge Nc

quently an agreement was effected by the

was maintained until after five volleys

between each volley.

Gen. Ordway's Views.
General Ordway believed that these SIM
pie rules for deciding the success or failure
Of turning movement and a direct attack
would be sufficient to govern the decision
of umpires. and at the same time gave
great latitude to the commanding officers
of the forces opposed to each other. At a
glance the commanding general thought II
would be perceived that at the very mo-
ment a flank attack appeared to be sue
cessful the party defeated on its flank
might deliver a counter stroke by direct
attack on the front of his enemy, and
thereby completely nullify its effect. and
necesSitate a complete rearrangement OF
lines on both sides. or decision by the
umpire that the action was ended. The
movements and combinations possible were
so great that General Ordway considered
1t useless to suggest them to Intelligent
officers.
The army officers on duty with the Dis
trict Guard who acted as umpires OF the
engagement, pronounced it a complete sue
cess, the strategy displayed by Colonel
Clay being particularly complimenied-
Mini, ThompsOn's Statement.
In speaking of the objection raised by the
Morton Cadets to an entry in the guard
record hook made by Major Gilbert Thomp-
son of the Engineer Battalion, when the
latter was serving as field officer of the
day, Major Thompson had the following to
say to The Star CORRESPONDENT:
II see by The Star that the Morton ca
diets are not satisfied with an entry OF mine
in the guard book. l made no mention OF
their execution of the manual of arms, but
that in contrast to the practical, alert
manner of the company they relieved they
appeared very inexperienced in guard and
sentinel Guty. | will state that until TINS
evening / never knew that such COM
pany was the Morton Cadets, nor do L
know now the title of the company the
Mortons relieved. 1t is also evident from
the statements of Capt. Slocum and Major
May that my criticism had beneficial
effect
1.-The performance of duty by the guard
could not be excelled. A large number of
people visited the camp. but notwithstand-
ing this they were handled well at the
wharf when returning that not a single
disturbance took place. The officers and
men should be commended" c. f. c.

A Legal Victory Achieved by COunse
for the Accused.

A Legal victory Achieved by Counsel
for the Accused.
The proceedings of the Mullan court
martial, which has been in progress at the

lied today by a signal victory for the de-
febse. Yesterday afternoon after The

! with Commander Mullan at the club, the
Escambia Hotel and other places in Pensa-
cola; that the commander had drank beer
on sue occasions. and that witness had
never seen the accused under the influence
of liquor.
Paymaster Jewett was present at the
Escambia Hotel on several occasions
when witness and accused were to-
gether, but the accused was not intoxi-
Gated on such occasions. At this point
Mr.. Hayden stated to the court that in
the specifications against Commander Null
Ian, Payfnasfer Jewett had stated in a
very indefinite way that Commander Null
Ian was dndef1 the influence of LIQUOR at
the Eschfhbia sHotel on several occasions.
He stated that Col. Bren.'s testimony
stated he had met Paymaster Jewett there,
but accrsed MAS not intoxicated. Col.
Brent's testimony was further examined
and read further when Attorney Hayden
objected to thA admission of a question

PRINTING OFFICE CHANGES
Investigation Conducted by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission.

The civil service commission is investi-
eating the character OF charges made in
the government printing office by Public
Printer Palmer. The commissions evil
dence SO far secured tends to show that
politics has been an essential factor in de-
Gliding promotions reductions, reinstate-
nents and removals. OF thirty-eight cases
so far examined by the commission, the re-
suit has been to find that republicans have
been favored, while democrats have been
removed or lowered in rating
The civil service commission has COM
plete records of changes made in the gov
erimeIt printing Office since that branch
OF the public service has been classified.
These records for last April show that
there We're fourteen discharges, fourteen
designations and thirty reiEstatements.
During the same month there were thirty
seven promotions and thirty-nine reduc-
tionS in salaries.
In last May there We're eight DISCHARGES
thirteen designations and two employees
dropped while there were thirty-four re-
instatements. There were in the same
month ffty-four promotions and thirty
eight reductions of rating of employees.
The numbers of employees who left the
Office through discharge and resignatio
and the number reinstated. it will be seen.
are very similar, as are the numbers of
promotions and reductions
II Is CANNED by many of those who have
been removed or reduced that their places
were made vacant 10 allow the reinstate-
ment or promotion of republicans.
II ii is found that politics has dictated
the changes in the government printing
office the commission will protest against
such violation of the civil service law.
Other departments will be investigated
to ascertain whether politics is an ele-
ment in making charges in the classified
service. The investigation of the govern
ment printing office will be disposed of,
however before any other investiga ton
of government department is begun.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to Is a bona fde one.
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell Its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands, which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however.

lions don't give them.

many thousands in excess Of any
