victim Of injustice and intrigue which
rivals French military justice and that he
will be vindicated II given fair trial.
Carter was declared guilty by the court
martial over year ago, but the Presi-
dent had ex-senator Edmunds review the
evidence and directed Attorney General
Griggs to hear oral arguments by the
counsel on both sides and render an opin-
ion. Meanwhile the-opponents Of Carter
charge that political influence has been
exerted to save a guilty man from the
punishment he merits, viz, dismissal
from the army and imprisonment. AS
sensational denouement, Gen. Elwell B.
Otis, now in the Philippines, who presid-
ed over the court martial, Is accused Of
perjury and subornation Of perjury In
this connection.
or all the vcandals concerning the hon
or and integrity of the army none has
been so serious as that affecting the rep
utation Of Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, late
Government engineer in charge Of the
works at Savannah, Ga. In the winter
Of 1893 IL was whispered that extensive
frauds had been committed in connection
with the Government work in Savannah
harbor. Capt. Carter had been in charge
Of this work for a number Of years, and
1t was his successor, Capt. Cassius X. Gill
lette, who first intimated that the work
ut Savannah was suspicious. Following
an investigation by Col. Gillespie, Maj.
Raymond and Maj. Adams of the engi-
neer corps of the Savannah works, the
charges were formulated against Capt.
Carter, then military attache to the
American embassy at London, to the ef-
feet that he conspired with contractors
10 defraud the United States and obtain
allowance for fraudulent claims amount
ing to two and half million dollars; that
he Endorsed false pay roll and did d.
vers other criminal acts, including embez-
element.
A court martial was ordered, with Gen.
Otis as president, and Col. Thomas H..
Barr as judge advocate. The proceed
ings Of the court martial were no sooner
begun than limitations were heard that
through the operations Of hostile clique
in the engineering corps of the army the
court had been packed against Carter
and that he was to be condemned to a
certainty. On the other hand, 1t was
charged by Carriers enemies that political
influence and wealth were being used to
secure his escape from punishment. How
ever this may be. he was tried, found
guilty in May, 1898, and the findings Of
the court sent to the President.

behaves as il the worst possible had been
fully provided for, and this country has
no reason to fear trouble from that source

Salisbury Expected to Abrogate Clay
ton-Buiwcr Agreement.
Administration officials do not expect
to experience trouble In securing the con-
sent Of Lord Salisbury to the abrogation'
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The re-
port that the Colombian Government pro-
poses to inaugurate movement in Eng
land with a view to continuing the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty Is not viewed with any
alarm at Washington. 1t Is said at the
State Department that there is a boun-
dairy dispute between Colombia and Mic
aragua over a strip of territory which Is
said to take in the Atlantic terminus Of
the proposed waterway, but Nicaragua
holds that there can be no doubt Of her
right to the territory. Besides, it Is point
ed out that Lord Salisbury agreed last
December to abrogate the Clayton Bull
wer treaty, and that the negotiations for
such abrogation were practically complet-
ed when Great Britain presented her de-
mands in the Alaskan boundary contro-
versy and declared that this dispute
would have to be settled before she would
conclude the Clayton-Bulwer negotia-
tions.
