Chicago, Nov. 26.-The Tribune today
prints the following:
The finding of the court martial is
that the accused is guilty as charged
in the specification, and that he be
reprimanded by the reviewing artEor-
ity. The. court is thus lenient in view
of the good character of The accused,
as shown in the evidence
The foregoing is according - the
statement of a man who knows the
exact verdict of the court-martial
which has just completed its Iabors in
the case Of Captain Leonard Lowering
of Fort Sheridan, charged With brutal
treatment of Private Charles Ham
mond.
FIRST BALLOT.
1t took the court-martial one hour
to reach its decision. The first ballot
resulted in seven members OF the court
martial voting guilty and i've not

of 13 members, but Major Randolph,
who had been detailed 10 attend the
court, was unable to do 81, and 50 j.

city and brutality stricken out. It
was finally decided to consider toe
charges as they We're set forrn IN the
specifications, and the decision was
reached without making tie cnmses.
LIGHT PUNISHMENT EXPECTED.
A majority is conclusive il court
martial findings, and SO, after the fact
of guilt was established, the emily thing
to be considered was the measure Of
punishment. The officers had made up
their minds that HammOnd's career as
a soldier was not consistent, and this
weighed strongly in bringing them to
an agreement as to the punishment TO
be melted out to Lowering.
The evidence showed that Captain
Lowering had been connected With the
United States military service for %
years, and that his record had been a
good one. A number of the officers
came out plainly and said they would
not vote for { finding of guilty if Cap
tain Lowering was to be given a hui
initiating punishment.
1t was argued that HammOnds rec
ora, when placed by the side of Cap
tain Coverings. was OF such 4 .,harac-
ter as unaVoidably to gain sym, Dathy

FRENCH AMRITION.

The French have been aiming at the
establishment of q great African en-
pire and despatched expeditions to the
Hfnterland Of Lagos and CarnOtville to
establish headquarters. The British
Niger company, however, getting wind
OF the French plans, despatched Cap
tain Lugard TO Nikki, the capital OF
Pargua, for the purpose of negotiating
a treaty with the native ruler, and the
English officer was fortunate enough to
reach there before q French officer,
Conmaudant De Occur, who was bound
for the same place and with the same
intention, although the latter had the
start, and Lugard secured his treaty
and carried it away three weeks before
De Occur arrived at NiiIld. The French,
however, seemed to have chosen to dis
regard this fact and have despatched
armed expeditions not only to Nilzki.
but to Broussa. which has all along
been credited to be within the sphere
OF British influence.
To settle these and other questions in
dispute. commissioners representing
Great Britain and France are now
tardily beginning to deliberate in Paris.

Berlin, Nov. ga dispatch to the
Frankfurt Zeitung from Rome reports
that a sanguinary conflict has taken
place between the French and British
at Nikl1i, in the Lagos Hinterland
Later in the day a rumor was re-
ceived at the British colonial office to
the effect that there had been a conflict
between the French and British forces
at Nikld, which is said to have been
captured by the French troops.
The officials of the colonial Office,
however, regarded this report as high
ly improbable, as they explain the
British police in the Hinterland. who
are in very limited numbers, had strict
orders to avoid any collision with the
French. II is also understood that the
French forces had been instructed not
to come into conflict with the British
The British forces in the Hinterland, it
is further stated, are larger in force.
ORIGIN OF THE DIFFICULTY.
A conflict between the French and
British forces in the Lagos Hinterland
has been anticipated for some time
past. Both countries have been hurry
ing troops into the disputed territory.
The trouble is of about 80 years stand
ing. In 1870 France and Great Britain
opened negotiations for the settlement
OF their respective frontiers in West
Africa, and it was decided in substance
that French influence and authority
should be confined 70 the north of d
certain line and that Great Britain
should have a free hand south of this
line The outbreak of the Franco
Prussia war interrupted. the negotia
tons There was considerable oppO-
sition in both countries to the cesstOn
of any territory and during the next
five years difficulties frequently oc-
Cured Finally, it was resolved to ap-
point commissioners to reconsider the
whole matter, and, as a result, in the
course OF the next ten years four sep
arate agreements were concluded.
But since these agreements were ar
rived at, further difficulties have
arisen, owing to the failure of the
boundary commission of Great Britain
and France to agree among themselves
as TO the frontier lines. Since then,
both parties have turned their atten-
ton to getting treaty concessions from
the native chiefs
