Cartcr Hores Rerirfn-.

E6 former eTgin61r captain, MS tor
neys, and friends are gathering new hope
from their belief that the technical poiri
raised by Mr.. Rose, OF counsel for the con-
Wet may hold with the courts. The con-
t5ntioH IS that the law applicabla TO his
crse provides tha; court martial may pun
ish by dismissal fIom the army, or by fine
or Imprisonment The sentence under
which he is in duIance vile includes all
three wkereas his lawyers claim that h
can legally suffer only one punishment
He has been dismissed from the service in
disgrace, and has paid his fine of five thou
sand collars. This, according to Mr. Rose
constitutes double penalty, and he is now
undergoing a third

regarded by tho bench as confining e
power OF the couri-u martial 10 tie inaic-
ijon OF a single punishment, then. OF
course, Carter viii gst a new lease Of lib
eIty on bail, pending an appeal which the
Government is sure TO take. As The bah
would not be excessively heavy. tte sub
seGuent proceedings need not worry Car
ter. He could indemnify his bondsmzn
and 20 out and help the Beers. Re be-
comes a matter OF insignifcance compare !
with ihe serious question at la.ge o. the
Law and the power Of military tribunals
Under it.
On the theory OF the Carter counsel if
an officer steals a million dollars and has it
safely concealed about his person. he can
Ee dismissed from the army, or sent TO
jail, or fined; but if he be cashiered he
cannot have the other things done to him,
and if he be incarcerated or fined he can
not be dismissed. One can readily see
what a parodox this order OF things
might lead TO- 1t might happen that we
should some day see a brigadieF general
in full uniform pounding stone in the
Leavenworth penitentiary and every
month drawing the full pay of his rank
Perhaps Mr Mckinley may have intended
some reference TO such possibilities when
he mitigated Eagan's sentence TO suspen-
sion from rank, but with full pay Of
the rank thus taken from him and the
right to wear its insignia and side arms.

Then Mr.. Atkinson wrote the police and
likewise his friend, Mr.. Hewitt, in New

The unniIa-cavite Campaign.

Without the aid of a map it would be
natural for the average American newspa-
per reader TO fancy that Otis is redeeming
himself handsomely in the military opera
tions which began recently in LuZon. The
truth, however, is that the autumn cam
paign. which is not a strictly Often
siye one b. any means, is not open
ing brilliantly. Our troops have act
ually captured Cavite Viejo; that is
the old town of Cavite, adjacent to
the port Of Cavite where Montojos ships
were destroyed, And Noyaleta, the fall
OF which was secured through much fight
ing and some bloodshed. is only two miles
distant New We are tcld that the Ame-i-
can forces are camped within sight OF San
Francisco de Malabon, three miles from
Novaleta. where the rebels, five thousand
in number, are reported TO be entrenched.
But. while these movements are in prog
ress in Cayite province. the Tagals are
appearing in force in front of Manila and
already have attacked our outposts.
Wha; a commentary on OILS old daily
boast that the rebels will not in future
make any serious stand in the southern
provinces" is presented in the current situ-
alton, How did the rebels happen to be in
Old Cavite, Novaleia. ard San Francisco d.
Malabon? These places are within cannon
shot almost of cur navy yard and marine
barracks AT Cavite. Our columns swspt
over that territory and occupied the town,
named last spring. and not without much
loss OF life. Why do we have to commence
the autumn's maneuYres by taking them
again. and with severe fighting?
There is but enc answer to this question,
and il is Otis, But for his action in COM
pelling Gensral Lawton 10 surrender every
advantage Of position as fast as gained, We
should not be now in the humiliating poz.-
tion OF starting de novo to crush the rebel
lion, and in practical possession of 10 more
territory than We controlled last March
Nothing could more sternly point to the i'm
mediate need nr change of commanders
than the ridiculous situation in which we
are shown to be by the disclosures of the
past week.
Otis or Otisism is responsible for It.
Otis personally may be merely the too'.
but either he or the influence dominating
him has deliberately turned what was
tragedy enough to the killed and wolndad
OF the spring campaign into a hideous and
murderous farce. Not point gained
against the insurrection can be shown as
the net result of the Otis mismanagement
A system of Spanish corruption, bribery,
and plunder has been built up and -four
ishes in Manila to the great profit OF GER
tain friends of the Administration. But
what has happened in the field as a direct
consequence of Otis interference with real
soldiers? We must begin at the beginn n
and fight TO keep Cavite and Manila itself
from being besieged by Aguinaldo.
If Otis is the kind of conqueror and pa
cificator the Administration must have, we
are sure Mr.. Mckinley will agree with US
in the opinion that he comes high,

toria and force the enemy to split his
forces into three or four divisions of de-
fence, which the British general should be
able TO attack and defeat in detail: or to
suffer assault in front, flank, and rear,
with equally disastrous results. We fancy
that nothing would SO much conduce to a
return of sanity among the Boer leaders
to move On their capital from the base of
Lourenzo Marquee.
Kruger thought that, If given time, he
could probably excite sympathy in the
United States, sufficient to exert moral
pressure in Downing Street, and secure
the Intervention of some European power
In both of these projects he has signally
failed. The United States Government has
given Great Britain cordial assurances Of
its good will, and the ministers of the lat
ter understand that the "outburst' of hys-
terical sympathy in this country is
nothing more than a shrewd sideplay, clev-
erly engineered by the same people who
are working in the interests Of Aguinaldo
and his Tagal mutineers. The many amia-
BILE Americans who have been deluded into
endorsing the petition for mediation, have
acted in ignorance of the real facts of the
case, and in innocence of knowledge that
Kruger and his oligarchy are enemies of
liberty and human rights.
This ignorance is apparent in the adhe-
sion of Catholic clergymen and Jewish
rah ho he
stitution and laws Of the Transvaal pro-
vide that no Catholic or Jew shall ever
hold office, or have any voice in the poll
tics of the country. One Of Englands de-
mands is that these unjust determinations
shall be abolished. What American is there
who does not side with England on this
point? We can understand how individu-
ais like Joseph Pulitzer, Carl Schurz, Herr
Most E. L. Godkin, Eliot Norton, Ed
ward Atkinson, Senator Hoar, and the late
Grover Cleveland might consider the main
tenance of religious disabilities in the
Transvaal. as desirable and righteous, and
render them all the more fearful over the
woes of "our sister republic" but when
it comes TO real freemen-real men-we
are at loss to see an opening for SYM
pathy, or for anything but Indignation
and disgust. Whether through war or sur
render, these stupid, bigoted, and brutal
semi-savages viii have to amend their
ways and take on the semblance of mod
ern civilization. Ia their old form they
can be no longer tolerated by an enlight-
ened world.

YALE's EXHIBIT AT PARIS.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 1l.-Prof
Charles E. Beecher, of the Peabody Mu-
scum of Yale; Prof. Russell H. Cattenden
and Prof Charles S. Hastings. of the
Sheffield Scientific School, constitute the
committee on the part of the Yale Uni

quent conferences during the past six
months planning for the Yale exhibition.
Prof. Beecher said yesterday evening: Il

share of the exhibit will be. There will be
thirty-three large photographs OF the
choicest OF the specimens in the museum.
II will also include twenty three models
descriptive of the fossils in tie mus UNI
These photographs are each about thirty
inches square, and represent specimens in

curios will be sent because it is always
very difficult 10 get them back, particu arly

Prof. Beeeher also said there would be
some sort o. a general exhibit in addition
to those from the various departments.

statues in This CitS.

To the Editor OF The Times:
In synopsis of the sermon by the Rev. DIR.
Power, published in this mornings Times note
that the reverend gentleman iniers that nearly all
the monuments Washington possesses are those of
soldiers. of equestrian statues are neces-
sarly these of soldiers and the streets and squares
are the proper places for them. but the statues of
civilians in this city far exceed in number those
of soldiers, and they very properly placed in
such buildings the Capitol and the Congression-
al Library. There few exceptions, such as
those of Washington and Marshall in the Capitol
grounds, and their position sitting in chairs ex-
posed 10 the weather is incongruous enough.
If Mr. Power will take stock in the Siatuary
Hall and corridors OF the Capitol and in the Con-
gressional Library, he will find that my state
ment is correct. The streets and squares of Wash
ington contain twenty-five statues, not counting
monuments such the Washington and Peace
monuments, but even of these twenty-five one-half
are dedicated to civilians. while among the sixty
more statues and busts in the Capitol and Lib
rary there are scarcely half dozen soldiers.

however, is the titles of Lord Pauncefote's

Lord Pauncefote will retire from the

British Ambassador will take his pace at
the foot of the list of ambassadors next af-
ter the Mexican representative, and just
ahead of the senior Minister Plenipoten-

Convincing n Connofsseur.
From the London Chronicle. J

Apropos of the present discussion on the pro-
duction of cheap clarets, correspondent sends
us an interesting account of bold experiment he
performed in Jersey Some years ago the
late DR.. Colonette undertook TO make bottle Of
port that should not cost more than three pence,
which the best judges should be unable TO dis.
tinguish from the highest-priced wine that could
be obtained in the island. The preparation was
compounded openly before large assembase, and
three competent judges selectd to test the
product The basis of this compound was cider,
colored with infusion of logwood. To this he
added few grains of tartaric acid and salt of
tartar TO give respectively a rough taste and
meliowed appearance. When three glasses of this
compound ard three glasses of recognized port
were presented to the judges to taste and pass
their verdict, without being told which was which
they unanimously pronounced in favor of the doc
tors cheap preparation, and rejected the genuine
port. What they would have said the next morn
ing if they had consumed bottle of this prepare
tion remains matter of conjecture.

II is with much pleasure that we recog
nize the ability of Mr.. Mckinley and his
official family to learn lessons from eX'
perience. Before the Dewey celebrations
all Administration talk on naval subjects
was strongly and Extensively Sampsonian.

ovations to Rear Admiral Schiey there has
been a marked change. None Of the band

OF the navy, did not venture TO glorify the
one man in the Spanish war who was dis
creditabIe to it.

HONOLULU, Oct. 8, via San Francisco
Oct 10-It is probable that when the
transport Aztec arrives at Manila, Captain
Trask will receive orders to return to Hon
olulu instead of San Francisco. The Az
tee carries horses and mules, and the plan
is to have her and another steamer on the
run between here and Manila, while the
Leladew and the Continental will run be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu. In this
way the horses and mules will have a
chance to rest on shore while the Govern
ment will not have to pay for idle trans
ports.
Hawaii by the steamer Pekin will notify
Commissioner Peak that she will require
the same space in the Paris Exposition as
is allotted to other States and Territories
1t has been decided to guarantee $12,0 600
for expenses. For the Government will at
once begin to gather an exhibit, which will
be made as complete as possible.

EXPLORATIONS IN YUcATAN.
The Smithsonian Scientists VIII Not
Senrch for Trensures.

Professor Holmes, of the Smithsonian,
Institution, said today that ex-
plorations now in progress in
Central America and YucataH were
of much interest TO archaeologists
who love to study the stone age, but that
there is little to be obtained there of in
terest to the general public He said that
the published reports of treasures being
found there were untrue and that when he
explored The territory two or three years
ago nothing but very ancient stone ruins
were found. He places no faith in the So
called resemblance of the tombs 10 those
Of the early Egyptian days.
Nearly all Of the exploration now being
made in these countries is being carried on
by Europeans. The New York Historical
Society has an expedition there. but the
Smithsonian will not send one. Professor
Holmes said that these exploration par
ties are very expensive, and that they
prove Of but little use because the govern
ments Of Yucatan and Central America
will nc. permit the explorers 20 carry
away the articles and interesting relics
they find. These governments insist
upon the right to select for themselves
whatever they want of the discoveries, and
,his usually means all that is OF value to
the scientists.

Cause for Change of Mind.
(Frcm the Philadelphia Record.)


Senator Hoar of Massachusetts says that ac-
cording to his present opinion he shall vote to
seat Mr. Quay the Governors appointment
In such action Mr.. Hoar would be consistent.
He holds that the Governor may lawfully appoint
in the recess of the Legislature For this reason
he voted for the seating of Mr. CCrbett, ap-
pointed by the Governor OF Oregon, differing
with Senators Quay and Penrose, who voted
against Corbett. When Senator Hoar shall dis
cover that the constitution of Pennsylvania
makes it the duty of the Governor to call an
extra session of the Legislature to fill Senate
rial vacancies during the recess he may caange
his mind to the propriety of the acticn Of
Governor Stone. However that may be- he de-
clares he does not how it is possible for
Senators who voted against Mr.. Corbett to vote
for Mr. Quay.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Commissioners Praise Trade Bodies
Tint Work for Reforms.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
announced yesterday that the organization
of the national commercial associations,
formed for the purpose OF asking legisla-
ton from Congress TO so amend the inter-
state commerce act to make binding the
rulings of the Commission, is meeting with
great favor.
Out of ffty-six national associations
twenty-six have signiied their intention
Of cooperating with the Millers' National
Associations TO seek the desired relief.
The so-called Cullom bill. introduced in
the last Congress, will be practically
adopted. The amendments to the inter-
state commerce act desired are to give the
Commission power 10 approve or disap-
prove rates made by the railroads. the rul-
ings of the Commission TO stand unless
reversed by the United States court.
No objection will be offered 10 permit
ting the formation of pools by competi
tive railways, subject, of course, to the
Commissions approval.
The matter will BE- taken up tomorrow
by the Commission, when Secretary Barry,
of the National Millers Association, will
confer with the Commissioners and Sec
retaries Moseley and Decker. A meeting
is to be held in the early part OF No
vember, when an opportunity will be given
to discuss the proposed legislation and 10
decide upon the question of its support.
