LESS HARDSHIP FOR JACK TARs.
Capt. Lemly says Prisoners or n Certain Glass
should Have Full Ratiens.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-Capt. Samuel c. Lemly.
Judge Advocate General of the navy, in an in
teresting annual report to Secretary Long. tells
Of an important change made by his department
in sentences imposed by summary court mar
tial. Hereafter, except in extreme cases, sum-
mary courts will not be allowed to sentence Of
tenders to solitary confinement on bread and
water. Full rations must DO given. Capt.
Lcmly wants legislation creating a retired list
for the enlisted men Of the navy, placing them on
the same footing with the enlisted men OF tho
army and the Marine Corps. He renews his
recommendation of previous years that a law
DO enacted compelling tho attendance Of civil
ian witnesses in naval courts.
Capt: Lemly thinks that some methods should
be devised by which the Government will Sc
cure some share in patent rights granted naval
officers on useful inventions and improvements
which have been made with facilities furnished
by tho Government. Many men who served az
sailors in the late war are borne on the rolls OF
the Navy Department as descrters. They can
have their records corrected only by act Of Con.
gross. Capt. Lemly believes this method works
frequent hnrdships. and he asks for the enact.
ment of legi lntion allowing tho Secretary OF
the Navy to make the corrections.

Con. Thomas w. Hyde or Mninc on the Hattie
In New York.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. Tho most
important municipal election ever hold in the
United states cannot fail to cnChain the interest
OF those OF us who, since Sum err was fred on,
have looked to the Republican party for part OF
our religion. Scarcely has tho country been
saved from tho dire evils Of dishonest money
and its salvation been due largely to tho stead.
fast fight OF tho Republicans and gold Demo-
Gratis Of New York, when It seems to US outside
that n resurrection OF the Mugwump threatens
to give tho silver hercsy a new lease OF life by
making 1t possible for its adherents to namo tho
Mayor of Greater New York. The Republican
party throughout the country has a vital inter.
est in this fight, and 1t is of interest to every
citizen how our greatest city, our centre OF ex.
changes, commerce., and progress, is governed.
Tho magnificent organization that did so much
for us last fall cannot be shclvcd or forgotten,
nor can the great Republican who led 1t to vic
tory be ignored.
Under which Kingi" Tho Republican party
has put up n candidate whom 1t Is difficult to
find sufficient words to praise; n great lawyer,
a business man of the finest temper and quality,
one to whom 1t Is an insult to say he Is any
mans man, a soldier and n statesman with few
living pcers-in short. an ideal Mayor for Great
er New York.
1t seems ct this distance that the patriotic
~ % 'to AcfANe up Nup bleh
victory in Now York last fall must realize this
full well, and will rally to his support in I'M
wavering columns. 1t would not surprise us IL
many Democrats should come to the support of
Gen. Tracy. We can remember how so many
New York Democrats strongly supported and
went TO the war, and how gallantly they rallied
for honest money n little while ago. Many pco.
pie are fatuous enough to think that parties do
not need leaders. and that leaders are always
q standing mark for detraction: the moro
eminent their services the more the dotraction.
Witness Mr.. Blaine; witness Mr.. Plat! Had
he no other claim to the gratitude OF his party
and his country, the candidacy Of Gen. Tracy in
the crucial election Of his city would entitle
him to the thanks of all good citizens.
From this distance 1t looks as II q conspiracy
to slauGht' r the Republican party in its con
sentative stronghold was on foot, which can
succeed only il the citizens who made the noble
fight against Organism fail to realize It.
On the one side are Tammany, Socialism,
and the Mugwumps, with a silver background
on the other. all the forces that are and have
been keeping the country in the front of the
worlds march toward what is better. Gen
Tracy knows how to decide quickly, how to do
eide rightly; and so. we believe here in Maine
does New York. THOMAS w. HYDE.

ALASKA RESERVATION.
1t Is to Be n Large Tract. Including Ct
Michael ana Much Mainland.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-By direction Of tho
President an order will be issued by the Secre-
tary of War tomorrow establishing 81. Michael.
Alaska, and n large part of the nearby terri
tory. as q military reservation over which the
United States will have exclusive jurisdiction.
This step will be taken to permit Federal troops
to assume complete charge of the mainte-
nance Of law and order at st. Michael. Recent
reports from army officers and others have
shown that there is a likelihood of trouble al
st. Michael this winter. A company OF twenty
five infantrymen from Fort d. A. Russell,
Wyoming, left Seattle a short time ago to es-
tablish a military post there. and probably hays
arrived by this time. 1t is the intention OF tho
President and Secretary Alger TO extend still
further the boundaries OF the reservation.
The Acknowledgement OF the army to-day re-
ceived a telegram from Capt. T. II. Ray Of the
Eighth Infantry, who was sent to Alaska some
time ago to select q site for an army post at the
nearest available place, on the American side, to
Dawson City. The telegram was dated Yukon
River. Sept. 6. and 1t said that the steamer
Hamilton. on which Capt. Ray was making tho
trip up the river. had been stopped at Fort
Yukon by low water, and that no more supplies
could get to the Klondike by that route this fall.
Capt. Ray said he would proceed up the river to
Circle City in a whalcboat.

FROM ANOTHER Low sIGNER.


-ebps AAA0 aNt@s
To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: I was
among those oeset on street corners and else
where last summc to sign the Low petition. and
did so to get rid of importantly. Il believed Mr..
Low to be the man whose nomination would be
acceptable to the Republican party. As things
have turned it is clear that the attempt Of
the Cts to make "the tail wag the
dog" was too previous and premature. They
should have waited for n joint deal with the
Republicans. With political experience since
the time Of Fremont, and with all respect for
Mr.. Lows ability, l am confident he stands no
chance of election whatever in the present con-
test. The only result of his candidacy will be
to cut down Gen. Tracy's vote and help turn the
coming government OF our imperial CITY into
the hands Of Bryanitcs or Socialists, for the real
fight will centre on Tracy, Van Wyck, and
Henry George.
The old Mugwump element appears strong
in the names on tho Cts Governing Committee.
The last term OF Mr.. Cleveland ought to have
cured them OF their ~Mugwumpery. 1t cured me!
The end Of the Harrison Administration left tho
country highly prosperous. The change OF adj
ministration plunged business into depression

only cloud on the welfare Of the Greater New
York is tho danger of its government falling
into the hands Of the Bryanites or Socialists,
whose hcrcsies were temporarily drowned out
in the national contest last year.
Gen. Tracy stands unequivocally on the same
platform as Mckinley for sound money prin-
Ciples. good government, and prosperous times
for all men irrespective OF party; therefore 1
shall vote for him, and I know others who signed
the Low petition who express the same deter

New York Campaign.

There are so many complications In the
New York city campaign that It Is i'm
possible to forecast the result. OF the
four principal tickets in the field II Is
possible for any one OF them to win, and
yet the parties are so badly divided and
there are so many phases to be consider
ed that no one can make a certain pre-
dictton as t which one 1t will be. Every
day new phases develop and new compll-
cations arise.
Greater New York, or rather the terri
tory now embraced In the city, cast 3d.
2S6 votes last fall, and the campaign
managers of the four leading candidates,
in their estimates of the result of the
coming election, are dividing this vote as
follows:
Tracy estimate-Tracy, 165, 900; George,
1876, 900; Van wyck, $4,000; Low, III, 900,
George estimate-George $4,000; Low,
49, 900; Tracy. 10000; Van Wyck, 1O0,OOO.
Van wyck esttmate-Van Wyck, $780,
900; Tracy. $4,000; Low, 100000; George
1000.
Low estimate-Low, 10000; George,
40, 900: Van Wyck, Ig5 5000; Tracy, 100, 600.
There you have 1t, Each candidate is
elected in his campaign managers mind
and the reader is at liberty to take hts
choice.

sound sense From Bolsu.

We may now expect TO see the Bryan
organs denounce Ex-Governor Boles. OF
Iowa, as a traitor To the sacred cause OF
the free coinage OF silver at a dishonest
ratio, because he has written a letter in
which he says that" the Chicago plat
form has had it's day in court before the
tribunal of last resort" That Is true,
and the governor proceeds to give a rap
in advance at those who may charge him
with treason for this remark, and says;
Must Democrats, to be loyal, adhere to
1t forever? The objection Is at variance
with the whole theory OF our form OF
government. II valid elections would
settle nothing then maJorities would
to rule, and when a political issue
was nee Joined the warfare over It
would go on until one or the other of the
parties to 1t was totally annihllated,"
This Is a gentle rebuke to the gentle
men who. In spite of the overwhelming
rejection OF the heresy last year by the
people, and despite the disproof of every
argument advanced in its support that
nature and the revival of business has
furnished, are still harping on the same
old line. They are growing beautifully
less In number, however, and there are
many who. like Mr.. Boies, who was n
OF the chief leaders OF Organism last
year, are accepting the situation and
modifying their views in the light of the
logic OF events.

Protected BY Treaty.

Some thoughtless newspapers are
specializing on probable remonstrances
from Spain on account of the escape of
Evangelina Cisneros from the Cuban
prison and her flight to the United
States. Their idea is that the incident
might p~recipitate trouble between this
country and Spain, This is nonsense.
The girl was a political prisoner, the Of
tense charged against her being enmity
to the throne Of Spain. All extradition
treaties between countries exempt such
refugees from their provisions, This Is
one of the established principles Of In
ternational law.
The fact that an American newspaper
man aided the girl to escape and brought
her to this country, where she is now in
the hands OF friends, is not a matter
which involves this government in any
sense. Had the rescuer of the prisoner
been caught in Cuba be would have been
liable only to the local municipal law.
Spain cannot make any claim for the
delivery of the girl or her rescuer, and
both are perfectly safe in this country.
1t Is a principle which is observed by all
countries that no government surrenders
political or military refugees from an
other country.

Result OF Mrs. A,hinson,. Trial.

The result OF the trial of Mrs. G. W.
Atkinson, the wife OF the governor OF
this state. the progress Of which has been
watched with great interest by the pub
lie throughout the country. Is gratifying
to her hosts Of friends in the state, al,
though a more complete vfndtcatton at
the hands OF the Jury was most heartily
desired, AS It is, the disagreement of
the Jury, with a majority In favor OF ac-
quittal. is a virtual ~vind1cadon from a
prosecution for forgery which seemed to
thousands of people to be inspired large
ly by malice, and the Intelllgencer be-
lleves that should another trial be had,
Mrs. AtkInson's triumph would be COM
plete, Public sympathy has been with
her from the beginning of the proceed
ings. in view of the peculiar circum-
stances that surrounded the case and the
conditions under which the indictment
wac brought.
1t Is unnecessary TO discuss these
things now, since ii would involve a dis
cusston OF delicate matters IN Whlch the
public has no concern. Suffice 1t to say
that the Intelllgencer believes It reflects
the sentiment of the entire state in con-
graduating Mrs. Atkinson and her hus-
band, who so faithfully stood by her in
her trouble, that the effort to convict her
of a crime for which she could have had
no motive. has so far failed.
As the wife Of the governor of West
Virginia, Mrs, Atkinson has had the
profound sympathy of the people of this
state. and they have all felt a
deep concern for her, from the day when
the newspapers of the country an
nounced her indictment in an interior
county, on almost the very v OF her
approaching marriage to the governor,
until the present, and they will now re-
Joice with her and her husband that they
have been spared the greater humiliation
which might have been theirs.
