Many Have Decided Not to Re-enter the
states Service for the Present,

States Service for the Present.
One of the officers of the National
Guard of Delaware prior to the turning
over of the regiment to the Federal
government, stated on Friday that
the prospects for reorganization of the
guard are not very bright, as very few
of the men who served in the First
Delaware Regiment during the war will
enlist in the State service, for the
present at least. He is of the opinion
that it will hardly be possible to get
two full companies in Wilmington and
very few of the towns down the State
can fill up u company therefore, for q
time at least, tho service will, in his
opinion, be crippled.
'.As matter of fact" he explained,
''most of us have had enough of soldier
ing and we do not care to embark into
it for fun. This is the way most of us
feel at present, but there is an impress
sion that Congress will make some
radical changes in the National Guard
regulations, which will affect Delaware
in common with other States and until
it is known what these changes will be
the sentiment among former soldiers
will remain about the same. 1t is
| likely that the National Guard spirit
may be revived after Congress takes
| some action, but it is believed that any
companies formed in Delaware will be
composed largely of new material. /"
1t was learned from another source
that some Of the members of the old
National Guard are laying the ground
to recruit companies when reorganiza.
| ton begins in earnest.

Washington, Dec. 30. Secretary Long,
today, officially announced his action
in the case of Naval Constructor John
+. Hanscom, who was recently court
martialed for alleged violations Of the
naval regulations in connection with
the conduct Of affairs In the construo.
tion department of the navy yard at
League Island, Pennsylvania. His
action is shown in the following in
dorsement Of the record Of proceedings
Of the court-martisl: ,} at
sin the foregoing case Of Naval Con-
structor John F. Hansconi, us. N,
the Navy Department approves the
finding OF mot guilty. on the first and
fourth charges, which involve fraudu-
lent conduct on the part of the accused,
it being evident that thcse charges are
not sustained Mr.. Hanscom Is, there
fore, entitled TO full exoneration in this
respect, and his character for honesty
and integrity, to the excellence Of
which much testimony was adduced at
the hearing from officers Of high rank.
stands unimpeached by the proceeding
sit is, however, plain that there was
an inexcusable and unexplained viola.
tion of the navy regulations; as indeed,
admitted by the accused, in not report
ing for two months to his superior
officer, and thereby leaving the depart
mept in ignorance during that period
rs to the Irregularities 10 his depart
ment, by which the government has
been defrauded of large amounts Of
money.
at further appears that the irregu-
larities, which, for some months, had
been escaping attention. wers dis
covered by an assistant, who took his
place during his absence, and that,
with the diligent and careful attention
to duty which is necessary on the part
of every officer, and which, When lack.
ing, is a proper subject of rebuke, he
should have easily have madeithe same
discovery. 1t is impossible, therefore,
| to escape the conviction that the &C.
oused is chargable With laxity and
negligence, and q proper regard for the
| interests of the government requires
that these should not go unnoticed.
To do otherwise, is simply to encourage
officials to be careless in their offioia
work, and to rely on their good reputa.
ton for exemption from responsibility
for tho damage which thereby mag
inure to the public service.
1.-THE department, therefore, approves
of the finding of mot guilty. Of the
court upon the second charge only. or
the presumption that the court must
| though unwarrantably, have regarded
the charge of 'culpahle inefficiency
as implying an element Of fraudulent
intent.
1.-THE department approves, of tht
finding of guilty" on the third charge
violation of naval regulations in mo-
reporting irregularities, but, in accord
ance with the recommendation of tn,
judge-advocate-general, and on tn,
grounds stated by him, disapproves o
the sentence as not punitory.l Nava
Constructor Hanscom will be released
from arrest and restored to duty
The sentence thus disapproved wa:
suspension for six months on furlougl
pay.

gallantry, Withdrew his annoying and
impertinent questions. But what was
not to be told in so many words could
be brought out by inference. She adj
mitted that she had dined with Dun
ming in the upper rooms OF Delmonico,s
and Marchand's.b She had drunk with
him in tho retirement Of, the Hoffman
Cafe. With him she had journeyed to
the Hermitage, i'll Fruitpale.
Now, there are some merry wags on
that Jury who know fplltw that the
upper rooms of San Francisco's cele-
brated "French restaurants" are not
used rs the meeting places for Chris
tian Endeavor societies, and that the
Hermitage is not y place of Sunday
school picnics. Then, too, the rear
rooms Of the Hoffman Cafe are not
given over to the discussion OF
ethnology and the evolution of species.
Beyond this Mrs. Botlsin did not
deny y great deal Of what Dunning
and Mrs. Ruotf and Miss Liyernash
had said. Her story contradicted thom
in some important particulars, but
enough Of their stories remain undis-
puted to do her deal of harm.
Her cross examination was not what
had been expected Evidently Judge
Cook thought it would BIO fer more ey-
tended and severe; for when she had
completed her direct testimony, he said
he supposed the cross examination
would run over the time agreed on for
adjournment, and advised the calling
of other witnesses who could easily be
disposed of within the hour. But
Hosmer was through long before noon.
He led her along easily, for the most
part, and Just as people thought he
was ready to spring some sensation he
consulted moment with Chief Lees
and Attorney-G General White and said :
THAT'S allr' ~ II
The waiting crowd didn't know
what to make of it. There had been
no wrangling with the witness; no lay
ing basis for contradiction and inn
peachment. Chief Lees was asked why
The cross examination had been SO brief
and lenient.
"Why, the lawyers debated long
time whether thoy would ask her a
single question, I" the chief replied.
"There was no use in trying TO break
her down, for she is an intelligent
woman, and has had all these months
to think over her role. A person could
become letter perfect in the dictionary
in less time than that. Then, too, she
had admitted most of the stories told
by Dunning and Mrs. Ruoff and Miss
Livernash. So there was nothing TIC
De gained by badgering her."
As for Dunning, when she. first took
up her story, he stood in the CROWD
near the stove, and where he could see
her. Soon he disappeared, but bobbed
up again and stood by the fire fol
awhile. Now and then she looked his
way, but she was too busy with hel
story to give him much notice or atten
tion. Shortly, he went AWAY again.
As Mrs Botkin stepped quickly from
the stand, when Hosmer so unexpectedly
announced the closing of his cross
examination, Knight seemed stupefiet
for an instant. Quickly collecting him
self, however, he made grand-stand
play. Striking fine attitude, he asked
heroically:
'Is there any juror who would like
to ask the witness q question:"
Not juror had anything tos say. ant
Knight then announced: tt y
THAT is our case" - ~ "

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE.
Second Anniversary Celebratsd-congress-
mum Handy and John Q. Gray Spenk.

Second Anniversary Celebrated-congress-
man Handy and john @. Gray speak.
The Democratic League celebrated
its second anniversary last night week
at its headquarters, Fourth and King
streets. William s. Alexander, presi-
dent of the organization, presided, and
others on the platform were Congress-
man L. Irving Handy, State Senator
John Pyle, John G. Gray, John +.
Salisbury Of Dover, George b. Morton
and Charles S. Hurlock. President
Alexander said that although the
league had met with severe reverse,
as had also the Democratic party,yet it
would still be found fighting tho bat
ties of the party along the lines of the
Chicago platform.
Congressman Handy made an anti
expansion speech. He prophesied the
triumph of the Democratic party. He
denied the reports that he was going
out of politics. Although IL was true
that he would in few months retire
from public life yet he would ever be
found fighting the battle of the Demo-
cratic party. He proposes to continue
in the fight in 1900, which he says will
be along the same lines as the, CAM
paign of 1896 and under tho same
leader, William j. Bryan. aUsoi ci.i
Discussing State questions, Mr..
Handy said that if the Republicans do
not manage the State properly tho peo-
pie can hold them 10 strict account
at the next election. He urged that
none Of the Democratic Representatives
in the coming Legislature combine OF
fuse with either of the Republican
parties, but let those two parties work
| out their own way.
John G.. Gray followed Mr.. Handy
in vigorous free silver and anti-ex-
| pansion speech.
