CAPTAIN CARRIERS CASE.
His Attorneys Making Their Great
Fight Against ImprisOnmcnt.
washington Star)


Attorney-General Griggs is now active
ly at work upon the case Of Captain o.
NJ Carter, who was. found guilty by
court-martfa Of the misuse OF $l,6)0,OD OF
government funds. After the court-mar-
tial had rendered its verdict the President
referred the case to the Attorney General
TO review and decide The President HIM
self did not have time to review the case,
the documents of which compose an enor-
nous mass of paper. The Attorney-Gen-
eral also did not find time until recently
TO begin consideration Of the matter.IThe
attorneys for Captain Carter. his chief
counsel being Wayne McNeagh. former
Attorney General and Minister to Italy,
recently filed their brief and this will be
replied TO by Colonel Barr, who was
Judge advocate of the court-martial. COL
onel Barr has not yet filed his reply.
When he has done so the Attorney-Gene-
raj will permit an oral hearing, after
which he will reach a decision.
The attorneys for Captain Carter have
made great struggle TO save their
client. Among other things. they charge
that the officers who tried Captain Car
ter were prejudced, and that every OBJ
lection offered was overruled. Colonel

defence ten were sustained.

and friends will be directed TO saving
him from the penitentiary sentence i'm
posed by the court-martal. They are
willing to pay the fine and to allow Cap
tain Carter 10 be dismissed from the
army. if there is no chance Of having "A
verdict OF the court overruled. but their
greatest fight will be made against i'm

1t is said that the naval officers will
make vigorous kick against the proposed
change in their uniforms, which contem-
plates the abandonment Of the rather
neat blouse and the adoption of the
double breasted sack coat.
Aside from the surrender of type Of
coat distinctly American, the change
means the discarding of blue coats and
white suits and the expense Of much new
apparel. The military tailors are suspect
ed of being at the bottom of the affair.
If their wishes prevail they will pocket
$4,000 in new orders. The department
officials do not explain why they wish to
alter the dress of naval officers, but the
opposition raised will probably force them
&c declare themselves openly.

NrAIN-sTREET DEPOT.

the subcommittee of the Committee
nm Streets having under consideration
the franchises asked for by the two rail-
road companies will meet again to-day.
The Dispatch trusts they will make soou
speed with their work. Delays are ddh-
rerous. The conditions Of the money
market are such that 1t is advisable Tor
tha companies TO avail themselves III
once OF the opportunities that are before
,bem with franchises vested and con-
tracts once let there could be no hating
on their part But if the initial steps DE
deferred an unreasonable time, the COM
NAMES may not find it so easy to avail
themselves of the privileges that may be
granted them.
While we would have the sub-commit-
tee make all necessary inquiries and be
sure they are right before going ahead
we cannot believe it is essential that
every little detail should be explored and
Ye-explored. Some things must be left
TO settlement between our City Engineer
and the engineer of the railroad compa-
MES.
IL is a big offer that is being made TO
Richmond. and we ought to show our APP
probation of If. Many other cities Of TINS
country would be willing to pay money
down" and large sums, too, to have such
an opportunity as is now offered us in re-
turn for our franchises.
A passenger depot on Main street would
benefit our entire city. 1t would make
Main street a much more important tho
foughfare than 1t is at present. And IL
would greatly increase the value of real
estate in jefferson Ward, especially. Fur
thermore, a handsome depot. such as the
companies pledge themselves TO give US
would remove from us the reproach
which we are constantly subjected to on
account Of some of the depots we are now
compelled to use.
Whether considered in the light Of pub
Tic utility for years and years 20 come, or
IN that OF the immediate benefit we
should derive by reason of the expendi-
ture here OF about 100000, the enter
prise merits the warm support of this
community.
That the City Council and the railroads
will eventually come to an understanding
on all points of present controversy we
cannot doubt; but. we repeat, delays are
dangerous. Therefore, we urge that com
mitteemen should make all proper haste
Let the work of consideration go on
rapidly. Let every member feel that it Is
his especial duty to push 1t along. Don
let us have any hair-splitting. Practical
~ without cost to as, we are going u
get what some other cities would be will
ing to make a moneyed contribution t
obtain. We ought to make up our mind
quickly as TO what we intend to do. 1t j.
possible that time lost now may cost Vi
dearly. Almost any day may see chang
in financial conditions which may pre-
sent obstacles in a course that now need
nothing but the Councils sanction to be
come successful.

Negotiations are now pending in New
York for the formation of gigantic bath
tub trust with a capital varlously esti-
mated at from s250Oo,Ooo to SO, 600, geo
Among the firms interested in the scheme
are large Pittsburg, Baltimore. Phila-
delphia. and Louisville houseE. The popu-
larity of this great financial scheme can
only be ascertained when the views of our
tramp population are heard. Heretofore
these itinerant gentlemen have bitterly
contested every move looking to the adj
vancement or popularity of this much
needed household article. 1t may be safe
ly predicted that the Weary Willies"
will refuse to wash. rather than buy the
products of the proposed monopoly.

Under the caption "Our Part in the
Peace Conference" the New York Times
says:
1.-TWO points of Importance are fixed in
regard to the share of the United States
in the Peace Conference at the Hague.
one is that we shall have the cordial
sympathy and cooperation of Great Bril-
TAIN and~the other is that the common
aims of the two great English-speaking
nations will be such as 10 persuade the
world that the understanding between
them is a guarantee OF general peace and
in no wise menace thereto"
Which Is tantamount to serving notice
that the two Powers have determined to
have peace IL they have to fight together
for IL.

II is said that President Mckinley has
become regular smoker. The Major
explains this habit by saying the tobacco
helps his nerves, but the fact is noticed
that he has been the recipient of many
excellent Habanas since our occupation Of
Cuba. The White House has literally been
flooded with these presents, and the Pres
ident Is doing all he can to relieve the
pressure. What man-even President
can refuse such cigars when the other
fellows are setting EN- up?

The Democratic University, established
in Brussels a few years ago, is among
the educational institutions of the past.
When the free University of Brussels,
which is controlled by the Moderate Libe-
rails. refused TO elect the Paris geosrapher'
Eusee Reclus. as a member OF the
faculty on account Of his anarchisuc
sympathies, the radical and socialisuc
element among the students protested
against this attack on the freedom OF
scientific research. as they termed II. Inc
agitation ended in the founding of radi-
cal university in Brussels, when was
especially favored by a certain coterie OF
Younger scholars. Wealthy men OF radi-
cal and socialistic tendencies furnished
the financial backing, and the new uni
versity called men to its chairs from many
lands. without any reference to their
political or religious views. The Mode
rate Liberals and the Clericals fought the
institution from the outset, and the po-
litical authorities practically did the same.
The government denied TO the "Universite
Nouvelle" the right to bestow academic
degrees. and the commission intrusted
with the duty of conducting the state eX-
aminatlons refused to respect its diplomas.
Soon the necessary funds 10000 francs
per YEAR, were not forthcoming. and
a few weeks ago the Academic Council,
notwithstanding the protests of the pro-
fessors and the students, decided TO close
the seat of learning.
The rector was Or. de Greet, and not
q few persons will wonder II this is not
suggestive.

NEW UTOPIA SOLD CHEAP.
Ruskin Cooperative Properties in
Tennessee Bring Thousands
Less Than Cost.

The Ruskin cooperative colony prop
erty was sold the other day in a big cave
near Tennessee City, Tenn. Several
hundred people were seated in the cave,
including the colonists and their wives
nd children and farmers from the sur
rounding country. W. Blake Leech rep
resented the receiver.
Four tracts of land containing a to-
tai of 7S4 acres were first sold to Ran
som Leech for $1,000. Another tract
of a thousand acres, mostly worthless
land, went to George Wright for S1,45o.
He also bought the storehouse and lot
for SIS, making the whole amount re-
ceived for land and about 30 houses
thereon $12,465. The land originally
cost SIC, 500, and the houses cost several
thousands more: Growing crops go
with the land.
The minority stockholders, who had
the property thrown into the hands of
a receiver, were the purchasers. Horses,
mules, fine hogs, etc, went for a song,
mostly to neighboring farmers.
1t is said that the purchasers will re-
organize the colony on a somewhat diff
ferent basis. Fifty-fve majority stock
holders already have an agent out look
ing for new location. They may 60
to Virginia. The colony paper, the
Coming Nation, will be sold. It's cir
culation of 60, 900 has dwindled to II ,O00
Many of the women shed tears at the
sale, and there is much feeling over the
breakup of the new Utopia.

NEGROES MAY USE BATHTUBS.
Peoria Young Mems Christian Assoc
citation VIII Not Permit the
Drawing of Color Line.

Notwithstanding that the local
Young Mems Christian association has
lost some of its members, owing to the
fact that negroes were permitted to use
the bath tubs, the organization does
not propose TO depart from its estab-
Eshed custom.
Secretary W. 4. Brubaker says: 81
am very sorry that there should have
been trouble, but it is not due to any
fault of the association and there is no
remedy for it so far as we are con
cerned. We make no distinction be-
tween nationalities or creeds. The
privileges that we offer are for all alike.
So long as the members are satisfied
with the accommodations and other
benefits, they are welcome to remain,
but when any features of the associa'
ton become Objectionable to certain
members they are at perfect liberty to
withdraw their membership. The as
ISOLATION has never drawn the color line
and is too old and has been too success
full to make any radical change in or
der to suit few
Rev. p. NJ. Lewis, president of the
Afro-American council, is indignant
that the white members of the associa-
ton should have raised objection to thu
colored man bathing in the same tubs
as they, and upholds the association in
the stand that it is taking in the mat
