U. S. Courts to Take Jurfsdiction.

The War Department has settled in ad-
vance an interesting question as to the
application of civil or military law in the
case of a soldier who was killed by senti-
neis while trying to escape. The killing
took place near Fort Crook, Neb., and the
state authorities were about to step in
before the court-martial to try the two
sentinels, members of the 10th Cavalry,
when Attorney General Griggs, at the in
stance of the War Department, teiegraphed
United States District Attorney Somers this
morning at Omaha to appear for the de-
Tense and place his services at the disposal
of General Merriam, the commander OF the
military department in which the affair
happened This means that the United
States courts will take jurisdiction, and the
cases cannot be tried by0the state of Ne

judiciary committee of the last Congress-
that if Cen Wheeler after holding his com
mission in the army during the recess had
resigned from the army and presented him
self 20 take the oath on the first day of
the session of Congress. he would then
have been entitled to his seat; bat that by
retaining his commission after the meeting
OF Congress he forfeited his right to a seat
IN the House and created vacancy from
the eighth Alabama district. 1t is believed
that & majority of the House will sustain
TINS position if the question comes up in
that way.
1t is thought that the only thing which
can secure Gen. Wheeler a seat in the
house will be for him to be able to show
by the record Of the War Department that
he resigned his commission in the army
before the first Monday in December, when
this Congress convened. 1t is proba bly,
upon the theory that this is the case that
vacancy was saved for him on the ways
and means committee.

imprisonment at hard labor In the Chester,

GEN. wHEELER's CASE.
Not Likely to BE Seated Unless He
Gave Up His Comm ;ssion Before Dec. 4

In the last Congress Gen. Wheeler of
Alabama was member of the ways and
means committee and of the committee on
expenditures in the War Department. As
q member of the Fifty-sixth Congress he
would have been entitled to the same or
similar assignments. The failure to give
him an assignment In this Congress was
due to the protest of Mr.. Bailey Of Texas,
who questioned his right to a seat in the
House Speaker Henderson had assigned
Gen. Wheeler to his old place on the ways
and means committee. but Mr.. Bailey OBJ
iected to this assignment the ground
that Gen. Wheeler was not member of
the Fffty-sixth Congress, and on this OBJ
lection the name was omitted and a va
cancy was left in the minority representa-
ton in the committee.
Mr. Henderson's Report.
Speaker Henderson was chairman of the
Judiciary committee which passed upon
the question of Gen. Wheeler's eligibility
to a seat in tho House after accepting a
commission in the army. and he made the
majority report in which it was held that
Gen Wheeler had forfeited his seat. This
report was never acted upon by the House.
When during Sthe last stages of the seS-
| sion, Mr. Bailey attempted to procure ac-
! ton by the House, majority, including
majority of the democrats, voted not to
| take up the question; thus it was never
|
democrats to stand by Mr.. Bailey on
constitutional question was what led to his,

self and would insist upon settlement of
| the question at once. On account of this
