the engineer corps of the army, was
summoned to trial by court martial on

of large sums appropriated by congress

estimated by Colonel Barr, representing
the judge advocate before the court
martial, that the government losses in
volved in the transactions which were
the subject of inquiry, reached the
heavy total of $1,720. 900. After a search
ing and minute investigation, lasting
four months, followed by q deliberation

The very highest intelligence and con-
science of the army found Captain Car
ter guilty of stealing $1,72OOOO, and SEN
tenced him to dismissal from the army
to pay $4,000 fine and to undergo i'm
prisonment. But Captain Carter has
not been dismissed from the army, he
has not paid his fine and he has not
been imprisoned. On the contrary, he
is still free and drawing full pay as an
army officer. Who is responsible for this
dalliance? William McKinly, president
of the United States.

II Gilbert McM. Ross was the princi-

the Comstock and he has tken it all
back. He confessed it was a sugges-
ton original with A. ]. McCone. 1t is
as dead as salted mackerel.
Sundays Bulletin said, in part, of
the meeting in San Francisco:
The presence of Congressman
Newlands was explained by the fact
that he is deeply interested in the well
fare of the Comstock mines and has
a large controlling interest in several
of the properties Of Gold Hill, besides
being a staunch advocate of cheap pow
er. Although he is ably represented
in the committee, he has gone outside
of that body and secured information
upon the subject for himself from lead
ing engineers, with the result that,
while he was desirous Of giving hear
ing to Mr.. Ross in his advocacy of the
steam plant plan. he is emphatically
opposed to that scheme, after investl-
CATION, and is in favor of the trans
mission of electrical power project, pro-
vided the terms are reasonable and the
mining companies are fully protected.

out hesitation-that there is prosper
Gus future before the Comstock with

The most important astronomi>
cal event during the month will be
the meteoric display of November
I3-I7, 1t is expected that the
maximum display will occur on
the morning Of the 10th, as the
earth will pass through the densest
portion of the meteoric stream at
that time. Only once in 33 years
does this occur. The last display
was in 1866, and was witnessed on
the eastern continent, but was in
visible'in the United States. The
motion of the meteoroids in their
orbits is opposite in direction to
that of the earth, SO the earth meets
them. Hence, in order to see them
to the best advantage, we must be
at the front. So, the most favor
able time for witnessing the display
will be from midnight till dawn.
AS the earth is several days in
passing through the stream, there
will probably be minor displays on
two or more mornings before and
after the 18th.

One Of the coming measures Of
national importance will be the
possible increase of the standing
army to 100000 men. This would
mcan permanent debt Of $780,
100000 for standing army in time
of peace, taxes would necessarily
remain high and trusts would not
be endangered by any uncertainty
regarding high import duties. This
matter will not be passed upon un>
til congress meets, as the present
army will be retained until July l,
1901. This is a distinctly repub-
lican measure.
