performed upon Arthur Holden, a 12-
year-old boy of this place. who was suf-
fering from a deadly disease Of the

The operation involved the removal

WILL REPRIMAND CHADWICK.
HIS ONLY PUNISHMENT FOR
CRITICISM OF SCHLEY.
The Latters Friends Demand His
Court Martial for His Public Ut
terances Against the Admiral.

New York, May l "A srecia, to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long will formally repri-
n1and Capatin Chadwick for his recent
criticisms of Rear Admiral w. S. Schley,
This will probab bly, be the extent of the
departments action. Captain Chadwick's
excellent record and the frankness with
which he acknowledges the offense,
While at the same time disclaiming re-
sponsibility for it, have forcibly Impress
ed the department.
Friends of Rear Admiral Schley desire
that Captain Chadwick be court mar
tailed, especially as he has told the de-
partment that the interview in which he
was quoted as criticising the rear ad-
miral was correct.
Captain Chadwick admitted that he
had criticised Rear Admiral Schley, but
SAID the statements he had made ex-
pressed his personal views, and he had
no intention of making them public
through the press. He charges that a
breach of faith was committed when he
was quoted.
Secretary Long looks upon the Chad
wick matter as similar in some respects
to the case of Captain Coghlan who was
reprlmanded for his criticism of the
German emperor. Many officers, how
ever, point out that the department ac-
cused Rear Admiral Schley of reprehens-
lble conduct in Il communication to con-
sfeSs. and as Captain Chadwick substan-
ually reiterated this statement in a per-
sonal conversation they do not see how
ne can be severely punished

CARMICHAEL ONLY FINED.
Public Sympathy for His Wife is Cause
for Light Sentence
Imposed.
Special to the Inter Mountain.

Helena, May 1.-Dr. D. L. Carmichael,
who assaulted DR.. c. Is. Miller in front
of the Power block. on Main street. April
II, intlicting injuries that for Il time it
was feared might prove fatal. pleaded
guilty to assault in the second degree in
Department No. l of the district court
today, an Information having been filed
making that charge. Judge DuBose
sentenced him to pay fine of 5000 and
to stand committed until the fine was
paid. The court said that he let the
doctor off with that easy punishment
because of representations made of the
serious condition of his wife. The court
also believed that Carmichael had suf-
fered as much already as though he went
to the penitentiary. The fine was
promptly paid. Miller has recovered
from the assault and is able to be around,
but no one knows yet whether the in
jury was permanent. The two men met
upon the street. An old difference
started a fight in which Miller got de-
cidedly the worst of it, being knocked
down three times upon the pavement.
1t is said that Carmichael struck him
once as he was down. but this was never
verified. The affair created a sensation
and for time it was feared Miller who
is past middle age and an old soldier,
would die. The maximum punishment
for assault in the second degree is five
years in the penitentiary or a fine of
$1,000, or both.

sWer, While an evasive reply is expected
an of ,ial said yesterday that the gov

believing that it would be satisfactory to
Turkey~aS well as to the United States.
This official said the president contem-
plated as a remote possibility the sever
ance Of diplomatic rela tons and this pos
sibiHty had almost entirely disappeared
as result Of the concessions the sultan
has already made.
1t is likely from all that can be learned
that the extent of the expression of dis
pleasure of this government at the delay
of the porte to pay the claims will be the
maintenance of a charge d'affaires in
Constantinople. Minister Straus is not
expected to return and until the claims
are settled it is not proposed that any
minister shall be sent to Turkey.
The conclusion of the administration
not to adopt the suggestions that this
government make a naval demonstration
in Turkish waters is undoubtedly due to
the knowledge that Europe would resent
the entrance Of the United States into the
Turkish question.
