The sentence of Private Thomas Nc
unteer Infantry, who was condemned TO
be shot for striking commissioned Of
fcer, has been commuted by the Presi-
dent. 1t apears that this soldier, while in
an intoxicated condition, became engaged
in an alteration with one of his officers.
The controversy became so heated that
McVeigh struck the officer in the face.
He was Immediately placed in confinement
and later tried by a general court-martial
and found guilty OF the charge and SEN
fenced to be shot. The finding of the
court was sent to the President for his ap-
proval.
McVeigh is said to have been an excel
lent soldier and to belong to an influential
family.
After reviewing all the facts in the case,
Mr.. Mckinley commuted the sentence to
three years Imprisonment. This is the
first case Of the kind that has occurred
among the troops in, the Philippines. 1t
is noticeable fact that both during the
Spanish war and the Filipino rebellion no
American soldier has been shot for breach
Of discipline.
One case occurred in Porto Rico, but
the soldier was pardoned by the President.
Although the striking of superior officer
sftA
there are many mitigating circumstances
in the case of volunteer soldiers. The
President considered the following facts
in McVeigh's case: He had not been sub
joct to discipline and had associated with
his officers previous to enlistment; fur
thermore he was intoxicated and had
some provocation for his act.
The following order regarding the case
was issued today:

NEW YORK, Sept. l3.-The early deal
ings in the stock market indicated that
the more urgent liquidation, induced by
tn financial stringency, had abolt been
completed, and prices were much firmer
than they have been since the publication
of the bank statement on Saturday. Lon
don was also a favorable factor in the
market both furnishing higher range OF
prices and being buyer OF stocks here.
There was practically no news owe:
night TO engage attention, but seemingly
there was a more cheerful view taken o,
the probable immediate future in the mon
ey market. Tennessee Coal and Iron was
again a conspicuous feature in the mar
ket in further shape for advance, which
was subsequently shaded, though the stock
ruled above its closing figures of yester-
day. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was active
and weak on a continuation of the liquida-
tion that has been present in that STOCK
for some time.
The remainder of the market was only
fairly active. and. in the main, was steady.
