CASE OF CAPTAIN CARTER.
WAYNE MACVEAGH, COUNSEL
FOR THE ACCUSED,
Appeals to Attorney General
Griggs for a Judicial Hearing
of the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Attorney
General Griggs to-day gave a hearing
to Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, Counsel in
the court martial case of Captain Car
ter of the army.
Mr.. MacVeagh asked for judicial
hearing in the case, saying that if the
President affirmed the proceedings he
would be guilty of an act of great
cruelty and wrong. The record was,
he contended, so saturated with errors
OF law that it is impossible in a country
governed by law to affirm the finding.
Before proceeding with his argument
proper he corrected what he described
as erroneous reports concerning the
case. The first of these to which he
gave his attention was statement that
Secretary Alger had allowed the at
torney for Captain Carter to take away
and keep possession of the record in
the case. This was he said, absolutely
untrue. The counsel for the accused
had never seen the original record, and
had received no favors.
1t was also false that representatives
OF Captain Carter had importuned the
President in the Captains behalf. On
the contrary, the only pressure brought
to bear upon the President was from
the other side for the affirmation of the
fnding. He recited eleven instances of
what he termed positive inventions re-
tailed to the correspondents of the
newspapers during the past eighteen
months Sooner or later he expected
to reveal the authors of these reports
and expose their motives, and then to
hold somebody responsible for proving
their truth.
He had thought of asking the new
Secretary of War to signalize his en-
trance upon his duties by posting this
notice over the doors of two of the di-
visions of the department:
mo falsehoods shall be disseminated
from this office during office hours"
Mr. MacVeagh also denied that the
hnding of the court had been unani-
nous, Notwithstanding, he said. that
the War Department had so stated.
In asking that the court martial ver-
dict be set aside, Mr.. MacVeagh urged
the unfitness of such a court, composed
OF men unframed in law, to deal with
questions such as those involved in this
case. The findings of such a court
nave no validity, and carry no weight
Inc innings were based on a jumble of
1ncongruous and discordant charges,
ranging from embezzlement and deceit
In the smallest matters to charges of
conspiracy of immense magnitude.
In reply to a question from the At
torney General, Mr. MacVeagh admit
ted that no objection to the misjoinder
OF charges had been made in the court
martial
Mr. Griggs suggested that the OBJ
lection should have been made at that
time, adding that he was expressing no
opinion upon the merits of the points at
issue.
Continuing, Mr.. MacVeagh said only
fair trial was asked, and a fair trial
could not be had upon such a collec-
ton of charges as had been made in
this case
Mr.. Macyeagh also dwelt upon the

FORMER BANKER BACON.
He Will Have to Serve Seven Years
in the Utah Penitentiary.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 27.-Judge Thayer
of the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals yesterday handed down de-
cision affirming the decision by the
United States Court for the District OF
Utah in the case of the United states
of America against James H. Bacon
The decision of Judge Thayer means
a term in prison of seven years for
Bacon and he is ordered to surrender
himself to the United States District
Marshal for Utah.
Bacon was indicted, tried and con-
victed in the United States District
Court of Utah for making a false re-
port to the Comptroller of the Cur
rency as to the condition of the Amer1-
can National Bank on December %,
1893. at which time he was President
of the institution. He was sentenced
to a term of seven years in the Utah
Penitentiary. His attorney appealed TO
the Circuit Court of Appeals, alleging
error in the trial.

point that the charges were brought,
Notwithstanding the statute of limita-
tfons. He contended that the fragrant
violation of this Act of Congress was
sufficient to yitiate the proceedings
He had no doubt that Captain Carter
was convicted from the time he pleaded
this statute before the court, but this
was done under advice, and was at
least legitimate
With reference to the checks issued
by Mr.. Carter Mr.. MacVeagh con-
tended that he could not, under the
law, have avoided their issuance. The
same was true of every act performed
by him in this connection Not one
act was optional.
Speaking of the high price for SER
vices paid by Captain Carter, Mr. Mac
Neagh said they were paid on lettings
OF advertising; hence the profits of the
contractors were not legitimate evil
dence against the officer in charge
Moreover, in many instances the prices
paid were no higher than those paid
for similar service by other officers in
like cases

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Talk Of Another Passenger Train
on the Central Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-The
Bulletin" this afternoon published the
following:
An important conference will be held
tomorrow and Saturday at Salt Lake
City between officials of the Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific and Northwest
ern roads. The Southern Pacific will be
represented by J. C. Stubs, julius
Kruttschnitt, J. A. Fillmore and T. H.
Goodman. The officials here say that
there is a great deal of business to be
transacted, the exact nature of which
nobody seems to know. One matter
will, however, come up for discussion
which, according to Master of Trans
portat1on Richardson, has been weigh
ing heavily on their minds for the past
two months This is the running of
an extra train between here and Ogden
This train, should it be run, will leave
here at p. m. and will cut down the
time by three hours. This is regarded
as very good railroading, and the Off
Gals think that anybody who does not
thlnk so have not the slightest idea of
the difficulties that are encountered for
last travelling between here and Ogden.
Ihey also scout the idea that this extra
tram is put on owing to fears arising
from the competition which will crop
UP through the advent of the Santa Fe
into this city
The reason for the innovation is in
creased business. The different pas
senger agents of the Eastern lines be-
heve that we shall have an enormous
travel this winter, that they say will
arise from the fact that the thousands
OF soldiers who have been in California
VIII all take glowing reports home, and
that, said one, to-day:
is the best advertising that the
state has ever. received. 1t is going to
bring US in thousands upon thousands
OF dollars. We all anticipate quite a
rush this winter. The through busi-
ness is good now, and there is a big
travel for the Orient. 1 was down to
the Copuc yesterday, which sails for
Hongkong on Friday, and I saw that
IN order to accommodate the big travel
they were busy converting the second
class CABINS into first class cabins You
can depend upon it that we shall have

American officers north of Manila tell
the correspondent of the Associated
Press that Aguinaldo is attempting to
enforce good government after the

to suppress a band of robbers, three OF
whom were executed at Mariqua. He
has also prohibited gambling in the
villages under his control.
Paterno, the President of the So
called Filipino Cabinet, has fallen into
disfavor among the Filipinos on ac-
count of his peace proclivities. They
suspect him of planning to repeat his
treachery of the former insurrectlon,
when he went over to the Spaniards,
and they may expel him.
Aguinaldo has issued decree lnvlt'

MANILA, Sept 27. - The American
authorities have declined the request
of General Jaramillo, the Spanish Off
Ger, who is settling Spain's military af-
fairs in the Philippine Islands, to send
a vessel under the Spanish flag to coli
1ect the Spanish prisoners at insurgenl
ports, as stipulated by the Filipinos, on
the ground that the ports are closed;
that such a step, therefore, would he
unlawful, because they declined to ac-
cept the Filipinos' dictation. The au-
thorities are ready to send an Ameri-
can vessel. The Spanish Commission.
therefore, will return to the insurgent
lines and endeavor to effect an arrange
ment for the delivery of the prisoners
on board an American vessel.
Aguinaldo has issued a statement
saying the warlike activity of the
Americans has prevented the concen-
tration of the prisoners, as intended,
but that they will be delivered up Oc-

The insurgents seem to be trying to

American prisoners a card by which TO
gain outside sympathy. Two English
men who have arrived here from Tar
lac report that the Americans are
treated more like guests than prisoners.
They are fed on the best that the coun.
try affords, and everything is done TO
gain their favor. A Filipino paper says
that on the occasion of a recent fete at
