Ex-Captain's Counsel Claims He VAS

Improperly Convicted.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-Frank p. Elair,
counsel for ex-Capt. OberIin NJ. Carter,
has applied for a writ OF habeas corpus
for his client. who is confined III the pen
tentiary at Leavenworth, Kan
The ground upon which the writ Was
asked was that the sentence OF ten years
imposed on Carter was excessive, and
that he could not be convicted twice on
the same charge, which, it is asserted,
was dcne in this case. Before Mr. Blair
went into the argument of the case he
informed Judge Thayer that he had ap-
peared before Judge Caldwell last June
at st. Paul on the same mission. Judge
Thayer said that out of courtesy TO
Judge Caldwell he would not interfere in
the matter. Mr.. Blair returned to Chi
cago to prepare papers for submission to
Judge Caldwell.

is very well acquainted with the Hon.
Robert Z. MeKisson, of Cleveland, de-
cIares that that puissant person is in
cognito in Washington at present, and
that his mission is OF vast Importance to
Mr. McKiRIeys interests in Ohio. Mt.
McKisson is an implacable enemy of Mr.
Hanna, and at various times since tae
opening of the campaign ii has been re-
ported that he had bolted Mr.. Mckinley
because of his hatred of Hanna Why
he should keep in hiding in Washington
at this time, il that is what he is doing
cannot be understood by persons not &C
quainted with the peculiar brand OF Ohio
politics for which all Republican fac
tionS in that State stand. But it is in
ferred that it means something great
Probably the Cleveland man is here to
wiring some concession from the PreSi-
dent a this interesting juncture as a
condition precedent to supporting him.
1t is conceded that If Mckisson wanted
to do so he could make it very interest
ing for MIR Hanna and Mr. Mckinley in
Cayuh2ga county by secretly conniving
with the Jones forces there and throwing
that district against the Republicans.
That he is disgrunIled everybody knows.
That he doesn't hesitate to apply the
knife when by so doing he can inf1ict in
jury upon Hanna also is known by every
body. Wherefore, it is reasonable to
suppose, that if McKisson is here incog
nito it means that he has been called
to the Capital by the amiabie Mr. M
Kinley himself who, 1t is known, has re
leved Mr. Hanna of the mana cement of
the campaign in Ohio for good and stiffi-
cient reasons.

Although some doubt may still rest upon
The matter, officially considered, il seems
to be pretty well understood that Great

This coalition naturally viii carry Austria

For breaking the complete concord of

ctpttancy of this country's jump at the
Russian proposition to evacuate Pekfn. a
proposition which was not previously COM
municated TO the other parties in interest.
and was accepted by the Administration
without notice or reference to them. it is
regarded as certain that the game so
adroitly planned to rupture the concert
would not have been pressed. 1t depended
for its success upon catching the United
States mapping, and NJ. de WoiIant was the
lucky catcher. He waited until he found
the American Department of State in the
astonishing condition Of being without a
normal head. and in temporary commission
under the direction of a committee COM
posed of the War Minister. the minister of
Postage Stamps, and the Cabinet represen-
tattve OF Cabbages. Then arrived his op-
portunity, and most beautifully he seized

the torture and butchery of our mission

It is quite probable that the reduced

above quoted. recommends retreat from
the capital then we have forgotten the
art Of reading English His closing SEN
tence plainly conveys the opinion that
Pekin should be occupied as an armed
camp while peace negotiations are being
conducted elsewhere: and that advice CO.
incides with the views of the allied rep
resentatives and commanders on the
ground, those of Russia alone excepted.
The dissent of the Russians is due to po-
litical motives which we do not share,
which tend to defeat our interests, but
which we have gratuitously and foolishly
abetted by our astonishing adhesion to the
Russian proposal. without waiting to dis
cuss its terms with the Governments We
were bound in honor to consult before
committing ourselves to a line OF action
which would necessarily result in break
ing the concord of the powers.
Bat MI Mckinley evidently argues that
since he finds himself On the run at home,
he might as well be consistent and be also
on the run in China. AS we have before
ventured to remark. he may have eXeei-
lent political and personal reasons for such
an attitude 1t may appear to him wise 10
evade participation in a general peace set
tlement which most undoubtedly would de-
velop the fact that a state OF war has ex-
listed in China. involving the United States
equally with the other invading powers,
and if such declaration were to be made
by an International conference or commits
sion before the Presidential election, there
might be consequences of an uncomfoTta-
able nature. The truth that the American
Executive has been conducting formal war
is upheld by the opinion of Minister Con-
ger, and the published statement of Special
Commissioner Rcckhill. But the Admin
istration appears TO think itself strong
enough to heat down such authorities on
the subject. 1t might be different if the
representatives. of the invading powers
were TO establish the fact of war as nee
cssary condition precedent TO the consid-
Grafton of terms of peace. Then the new
maxim that while the war-making power
OF the United States is vested exclusively
in Congress. the Executive may ignore the
Constitution. ard make war on its own
account so long as it refuses to call what
ii is doing war" would be destroyed as
far as the invasion of China is concerned.
From this point OF view, the sCuttling pol
icy IS perhaps not difficult Of explanation
