the mayor when the latter proceeded
down Cameron street from his resi-
dence, saw him enter his store on Royal
street, leave ii, proceed up the south
side of King street and kept him in
sight almost all the time his honor was
making his tour of inspection. The
lieutenant has summoned all the per-

hours and of eight. He, however, now
asks the privilege of having sixteen
hours off every third day, which is at
present accorded the privates of the
force.

A GRAVE QUESTION
Clash Between State Authorities and
the War Department

the War Department
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Captain Louis
c. Duncan, surgeon of the Twenty-second
Kansas regiment, is held by the sheriff OF
Fairfax county, Va, to answer an indict-
mont charging him with desecrating con-
federate graves at Bull Run near Manas-
sas.
1t appears that Duncan, whose case has
become famous, was not sentenced to five
years Imprisonment, as reported from
Camp Meade, Pa, but escaped much more
lightly at the hands of the military court,
there being lack Of evidence to prove that
he actually took part in despoiling the
graves. He was tried by court-martial
under the sixty-first and sixty-second gen.
eral articles of war.
The finding of the court-martial approved
by General Davis, was that Surgeon Dun
can be deprived of his rank for two months,
he confined to the regimental camp and for
felt half his pay for the same length of
time, and that he be reprimanded by the
commanding general
How DR.. Duncan is TO be confined to regi-
mental camp for two months when he Is
now the prisoner of the sheriff of Fairfax
county ds difficult to unders tand. His
regiment has moved from Thoroughfare
Clap to Camp Meade, Pa. 1t Is understood
that when the sheriff presented his warrant
for him under the state indictment, Dun
can voluntarily surrendered. A clash be-
tween the state authorities and the war de-
partment may develop The case has not
heen brought to the attention of Washing
ton as yet.
