der rises against an officer in Articles Xxx and
XXI, which read:
Any officer or soldier who behaves himself
with disrespect toward his commanding officer
shall be punished as a court-martiaI may direct.
Any officer soldier who on any pretence
whatsoever, strikes his superior officer or draws
or lifts UP any weapon, or offers any violence
against him, being in the execution of his office
shall suffer death. such other punishment
as court-martial may direct
The British army regulations provide that any
officer or non-commissioned officer who strikes
or otherwise iIltreats a soldier shall be pun
ished with dismissal.
In the German service there is an article bear
ing the subject, and the laws against striking
an enlisted man are strict. and have been main
tanned in late years. although some years ago
there were frequently rumors of harsh treatment
of the the part of officers and non-com-
missioned officers. a captain in the German
army still has power to inf1ict summary pun
ishments.
In Russia a corporal has power TO infict pun
ishment by imposing days confinement
days extra duty. a captain in the Russian
army could, few years ago, give to a second
class private soldier corporal punishment up TO
fifteen lashes, major could give twenty-five
and a colonel up to fifty.
Nov" said the Army officer If man has
authority legally 10 nfiict punishment with the
whip the step TO the fist IS not far. I have no
doubt that legally it IS forbidden in all armies
to strike a soldier, and that upon d report the
man would have redress. I don't know OF an
officer in our Army who swears at his men in a
personal way-man TO man-buJ at drill. when
men are scattered out over long distances and
things get twisted up I have known one or two
who would 'cuss out the whole bunch-'What
the are you men doing? Come I'D on the
T5ra r all aGy az-S
behind" or something ike that-which the men.
if the officer is kind 10 them and feeds them
well. do not care much about one way an
other. But even this is rare very rare in our
Army.
An unruly OF insubordinate soldier would be
turned over to a non-commissioned officer and
several men, who would take him and lock him
up until he got sober, unwritten and We'll
observed rule being that officers refrain from
seeing drunken men, requiring them always TO
wait until sober before presenting their case.
simply locking them up and being satisfied that
the men are physically not suffering or being put
upon. There are certain punishments for ex-
treme cases that haTd-bTead and water
and on. up to the death penalty; but they
all according to law. and you are not interested
IN them much as in the general relations

SCENE OUTSIDE OF RE1DEs PLAY.

From The London Globe
The revival Of It's Never Too Late to Mend
at the Princesss on Saturday next will recall
the extraordinary scene that took place in that
theatre the night Of the first production of
Charles Reade's great play, October 4. 1850.
During the prison scene large quantity of
water was thrown over Miss Moore, who took
the part Of Josephs, the character done TO death
by the warders One OF the critics, Mr.. TOmlin,
OF The Morning Advertiser" rose from his seat
and publicly protested against the unnecessary
cruelty. This aroused almost a riot among the
audience and the action of the play was stopped
for some considerable time. Fuel added to
the fire by George Nining. the lessee Of the
theatre. who was playing the part Of Tom Rob
insOn. and vino made most Imprudent speech
IN which he practically insulted every critic
present with the result that the theatre was
left severely alone by the press for many months
The play. however, turned out TO be popular
success. and had. for those days, the phenomenal
run OF 40 performances.

NEW YORK. Feb 17.-Prior to the pub
lication Of the bank statement today, the
dealings in the stock market, which were
almost entirely for professional account,
were governed chiefly by the common eX-
pectations that the banks would make
poor showing These views appeared 10
outweigh all the other factors in the sit
uation. and in consequence declines were
common throughout the market with few
exceptions Western Union and Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western were the most
conspicuous in this last respect, although
nothing that was new attended the move
ments in either stock.
The declines in the railway list were
generally limited. but the whole Industrial
ouarter was particularly weak. American
Steel and Wire. Federal Steel, and Ma
tional Steel all reflected pronounced pres
sure. There was nothing that was new
that attended the movements in these
stocks but il was a subject Of interest
that most OF the selling appeared TO be
for Western account. London was not

irregular changes. while the operations
