FENNEssY ExoNERATEo.
But Board Found That His Accusers Are
Subjects For Discipline.

Washington, November 22.-The court
of inquiry has entirely exonerated Lieut..
I G. Eennessy, quartermaster OF the 9th
Mass of charges brought against him by
officers of that regiment but finds that
four of these officers are SUBJECTS for mill
tarv discipline. Lieut.. Fennessy was
charged with cowardice and with failing
in his duty as quartermaster. The bfard
not only exonsrates Fennessy but finds:
s.That the allegations made In the pub },
lie press of Boston referred 10 the 9ouiS "
inquiry for investigation are Ialse, uh-
founded an d malicious. ,s-
ssThat Captain George y. n. murray
company B, Captain j hn X. Dunn, 20.
/, and Second Lieutenant Micnaei ).
Desmond, company B, and Second Lieut.
james A. Gully, company l. all OF the
9th regiment Massachusetts, volunteer IN
fantry, are subject for military
discipline"
The men named will not be brought to
trial for the reason named in the follow
ing Endorsement of Judge Advocate Cen
eral Liber:
"Jnasmuoh as this regiment Is
about to be mustered out OF the service OF
the United States and as it is believed
that the finding with regard to the four
officers named as having made themselves
subject to military discipline being pub
Iisbed will show the char acter of their ao-
en- sations and make clear the fact that
these charges against Lieut. Fennessy
were unfounded. proceedings against
them are solely for these reasons are not
commended"

Mr.. Myrick, editor of the American
Agriculturist in his address before the
grange in New Hampshire, presented the
objections TO the annexation of tropical
territory from the farmers standpoint
with great force He pointed out that
the fres importation of sugar from this
territory, which will be inevitable if an
nexed, will completely kill the beet sugar
industry in this country, which has been
entered on the West with such hattering
prospects of success. Even if the sugar
rails rs of Hawaii and Cuba were com
PEELED TO pay the same prices for labor as
the American farmers their competi tion
would be ruinous to the latter, but with
coolieslab which they are now plotting
to have legalized by our Congress they
would not only drive the producers out of
business, but make vast fortunes for them
selves. Mr.. Myrick shrewdly guesses
that the most urgent advocates Of annexa-
ton will be found TO be men who see this
opportunity and have the capital to take
advantage of it. He points out that the
loss of revenue from sugar will have to be
made up by direct taxation of the people
of the country, the farms con tributing
their share with the rest. Thus the farm
ers will be hit in two directions. They
will lose their protection, and at the same
time will have to contribute to make up
the loss of revenue by reason of the free
admission of products which are now
subject to duty.

Some light on the cost of colonial en-
pires in the tropics in human lives is
shed by the French army statistics for 1895
which have recently been published. They
show that while the mortality among
French officers in France in 1895 was s.
per thousand, in the colonies it was
39.s. Among the troops the mortality per
thousand was: France, COS; Algiers,
1877; Tunis, lila; marine, IL; colonial
army, 1885; Madagascar. 1881; West
African Soudan, 1911. How many
a merican young men are likely to volun-
teer to take these chances for the sake of
promoting civilization among the Sulus
and Tagals of the Philippinesa
The Portland daily press., 1898-11-23

The declaration of our commissioners
that our policy in the Philippines will be
to open them to trade to all nations on
equal terms with ourselves-to maintain
the sfopen door, Els of course pleasing
to England, not merely because it as
surss her equal advantage in the islands,
but also because it IS in accord with tbs
policy she is trying to establish with
reference to hina. It will deprive us of
course of any special trade advantages
in the Philippines, but on the other hand
1t will tend to keep open to us the Chi
ness market on the same terms as other
nations, whereas contrary policy would
undoubtedly have provoked retaliation
and discrimination against us in other
markets in the East. 1t Is argued that the
announcement of this policy ia tanta-
mount to declaration that We have ne
intention of annexing the islands, since
the constitution provides that no regu-
lation of commerce or revenue shall be
made which shall give one state a pref
erence over anoUher, and with free
trade in the Philippines and protection

MUSTER OUT ORDERS MISSING.
No Orders for Muster Out of Signal Corps
Can Be Found.

Captain G. W. Butler of the Maine
Volunteer Signal Corps, was in Augusta
Monday on business with Adjutant Gem
eral Richards. He was about to order his
command to meet in Portland, which is
the headquarters of the corps, December
1, for the purpose of being mustered out,
or at least to be in readiness for that
ceremony, as they were instructed in
September. There is something wrong
about the orders that were issued by the
war department. regarding the muster out
of the corps, SO it Is possible that 1T may
he delayed for time.
1t seems that no orders for muster out
can be found. a'he war department has
relieved Captain Rogers of the duty OF
muster officer for this state, and has
detailed Captain G. g. Morton of the 9th
infantry, formerly lieutenant colonel OF
the First Maine volunteers for the service.
He has examined every order issued re-
garding the Maine troops, and in none
can he find one where the muster out OF
the Signal Corps is ordered. He is In
communication with the war department.,
but it may be weeks before the matter
can be cleared.
1t is the earnest hope of the corps that
the muster out can be postponed, for they
all have the feeling that there is more
trouble ahead before the present trouble
is settled, and they want to be in it. They
have tried every way they could think of
to be retained. but have received no en-
couragement any more than receiving
the high praise they deserve, and also the
promise that in case they are needed, they
will To called upon.
Captain Butler says all but three or
four of his men will be able to report for
muster out He does not know whether
the three officers who were attached to
the corps will be present or not. as he has
no knowledge of their whereabouts, and
cannot notify them. They did not report
when they were detailed to report to him,
and of course he had to report them as
absent without leave, or practically
deserters. OF course they would not be
classed as deserters, as the fault in their
not reporting lies with the war depart
ment, and not with them.

Congressman Roberts of Utah, who is
credited with three wives. may not find it
altogether pleasant for him in Washing
ton. There is apparently growing feel
ing that inasmuch as he is openly yiolat-
ing the laws of his state as we'll as the
lave of the District Of Columbia which
are made by Congress, he should not
be permitted to retain his seat in the
House. 1t is said his Populist rival will
make contest for his seat on the round
that Roberts is in open practice of polyg-
amy and If he does there is no doubt
that he will get a good deal of support.
Representative Dinghy thinks Roberts
can be expelled if the charge that he is
living in open practice of polygamy can
be sustained.

BUY OUT BEHRING SEA sEALERs

Washington, November 22.--The Beh-
ring sea question was the main topic be-
fore the Anglo-American commission to-
day when 1t resumed it's sessions. For the
first time the two sides were prepared to
exchange their estimations on the value
of the Canadian sealing fleet the purpose
being to arrive at some fair valuation and
retire the fleet by purchase. 1t is under
stood that both appraisals are consider
ably below what was expected and that
they do not M oh exceed a half million.
After the Joint meeting of the commission
q suecial committee consisting of Lord
Herschell and Sir Louis Davies, Senator
Fairbanks and ex-Secratary Foster took
nm fine Betting sea estimates Besides
the written report of the appraisers the
latter were called in person and examined
regarding the sealing fleet.
