RESTORED TO RANKS,
Offenders in Military Prisons Re-
leased without Trial.

In consequence of the many changes
which have recently been made by the War
Department in the location of troops. it
was found necessary to leave at different
posts throughout the country quite a num-
Der of military prisoners awaiting trial for
various Offenses with which they have been
charged.
1t has become quite a difficult problem
for the department to convene the neces-
sary courts-Inartial in most of these cases,
for the reason that 1t has been impractical
bic TO take the required number of officers
away from duties Of a more pressing ma
ture, which could not be postponed.
IN view or the uncertainty as TO the time
at which Il might be practicable to bring
SuCn prisoners to trial, and Furthermore
because of the fact that in some cases the
movement of troops and the muster out of
volunteer officers have rendered il extreme
ly difficult, If not impossible to secure suf-
hclent evidence for conviction the acting
secretary of war has Instituted inouirv Gov
er1ng cases of both classes scattered
throughout the various military DEPART
ments OF the country. He has investigated
over a hundred cases of the character tpdt-
Gated, and, as measure of Justice has
gwen directions that wherever through nm
aNoldable circumstances, the prisoner can
not De brought TO trial within thirty days
ne be discharged. This order was made
aiter conference with the judge adyocate
general, VINO also recommended that in GER
tain cases the soldiers be restored to dutv
without trial: and in about thirty cases
~here the facts clearly call for such action.
the acting secretary of war has approved
the recommendation of the judge advocate
general that the men be discharged without
honor
Ine adJufant general has been instructed
oy the acting secretary of war to issue the
necessary orders. by wire to carry into ef

BRYAN LAYS DOWN THE LAW
Tells How BOlting Democrats May Get Back
in Party.
They Must Acknowledge Their Err
rOrs and Subscribe to the
Chicago Platform.

MILWAUKEE. Wis. April 12.-The Jour
nal prints the following:
To Editor Milwaukee Journal:
Dear Sir: 1 am just in receipt of your
favor of March D. in which you say:
1T is asserted here that many democrats
who voted for Mckinley in 1896 feel that
they have been trified with by the republi-
cans and are likely to vote the democratic
ticket again at the next presidential cam
paign. though they may not be in full ac-
cord with the platform
And ask:
What, in your opinion, would be the
wise course to pursue toward these people?
In what way may their reaffiliation with
the party be best facilitated?'
Only Speaks for Himself.
In reply, would say that i have no au-
thority to speak for the democratic party,
and. in what l say. express only my own
opinion. 1 am satisfied that you are cor
rect IN saying that many of the democrats
who voted for Mckinley are disappointed
with the republican administration and will
vote the democratic tickets in the future.
i think that the same statement could be
made in regard to many of those who voted
the Palmer and Buckner ticket. The doors
of the party are always open to receive
new additions, whether they be new con-
verts or former members of the party. To
err is human and those who erred in 80
have only to admit it and subscribe to the
party creed in order to be taken back into
the party They may dissent from some
portions of the platform, as some did in
90 and yet subscribe to the platform as d
whole.
Must Subscribe to Platform.
/ have found among the democrats 10
hostility toward those who wish TO return,
provided they recognize that the democratic
party now has platform that is satisfac-
tory to the democrats. A democrat who
comes back merely for the purpose of fight
ing against the reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform will not find the party con-
genial. Those who recognize that they
erred in SO are not likely to insist upon
prominence in the party management until
they have time to bring forth works meet
for repentance If they do aspire to promi-
hence they will have to convince their asso-
ciates of the sincerity of their purpose to
aid the party in Its fight against pIutocracy.
The only unwelcome guests are those who
deserted in 96 and still claim to be better
democrats than those who remained with
the party. and who demand the surrender
OF the Chicago platform as the price of
their return. Only those who are willing
to stand upon the last platform ought 10
nave part in the writing Of the next plat
form Yours truly, VIM. j. BRYAN

To be Given Three Nights and Two Matinees at the Hyperion.
 Big audiences will see the pictures of the Jeffries-sharkey fight at the Fly perion on Monday, Tuesday Wednes- day, December 1S, 19, 20, and they will probably not be confined to men adher- ents to the art of self-defence at all. Many ladies were present at the ex- hibitions at Music hall in Boston, and they seemed to enjoy the vivid portray al of the great fistic contest as much as their escorts. For dfstinctness and steadiness these pictures have never been surpassed From the time the hall was darkened and the pictures began to show the pompous preliminaries un- til the end of the twenty-fifth round when the American flag is thrown over Champion ,Jeffries, every movement is shown with wonderful vfvidness It is like being at the ringside Jeffries and Sharkey adherents will be out in force and applaud every notable point scored by the fighters. Those who want to see the fight accurately shown will find much enjoyment in watching these pictures, and those who care nothing about the fight itself but wish to sec a remarkable display of moving pie

Greasy and Blanche Dayne in "Grasping an Opportunity" led the galaxy and gave that quaint bit of comedy depicting an old New Hampshire farmer under the wiles of an attractive book agent with signal success. Montrell, a bright young Frenchman with a grotesque assistant, did series of juggling feats that sur passed anything ever seen here. He is a decided sensation. Matthews and Harris have a sketch by Greasy called Adam the Second" This is play on what might occur if an aeronaut should land in a modern Eden where man nev- CT trod before and there encounter an ingenious and curious young woman. Fernandez with trick violin solos, the Eldredges with a red hot new "coon" sketch, the Patterson brothers in a really sensational bar act that brings down the house and Dashington and Bryant in comedy sketch are other fine. numbers of the bill. Prices 10 cents and 20 cents; ladies at matinee 10 cents. Reserved seats 30 cents.
