Ohicera in the Philippines Guilty OF
Breach Of Military Discipline.
The war department has received
from General Otis, at Manila. the rec
ords OF the proceedings OF courts mar
tial in the cases of six commissioned
officers. The chief of these cases /,
that of Major George W. Kirkman,
Fortv.ninth Volunteer infantry, Gap
tain Twenty third infantry who was
dismissed from the service by order OF
General Otis on conviction by court
martial of conduct nnbecoming an otf-
Ger and gentleman, in having misbe.
haved in appearing on the streets oi
Manila in drunken condition.
The other cases received are those OF
First Lieutenant Robert q. Gregg,
Forty.ninth Volunteer infantry; First
Lieutenant Clayton J. Bailey. Twenty
seventh infantry; First Lieutenant
John j. Foley, Thirtieth Volunteer
infantry; and First Lieutenant Harold
Hamilton, Ninth infantry. These Off
GERS were tried OH various charges.
Lieutenants GREGG and Bailey were con-
victed and sentenced to dismissal and
Lieutenants Foley and Hammond were
acquitted. The sentence i'll each case
was approved by General Otis and were
disposed of without dismission to the
authorities at Washington. The rec
ords have been sent to the war depart
ment for file and recorded in the office
OF the judge advocate general.
At the instance of the secretary OF
war, Judge Advocate General Lieher
will make special report in the case
OF Major Kirkman, which report also
will have bearing on the cases OF
Lieutenants Gregg and Bailey, MS the
same legal principle is involved in each
OF them. Generally stated, that in.
wolves the right of General Otis to dis
miss the officers without the reference
to the president. as commander in chief
OF the army. 1t is admitted that such
power is conferred on generals COM

war, but it is contended that no such
condition existed in the case OF Major
kirkman at the time of the offenses
alleged to have been committed.

Somebody who has access to the
asi-private correspondence Of New
York concern, and who Is unable 10
keep a good thing to himself. makes
public the following extract from
letter written to the house by friend
~ firm In au interior town:
Upon our recommendation, Mr.. and
Mrs. of our city. will shortly
visit your New York house. with view
to making extensive purchases. II suited'
they may prove to be valuable patrons.
BE sure to pay particular attention 10 inc
tastes Of Mrs. ------ 'secohh wiie'.
Kindly consider this communication con-
tidential
1t is hardly necessary to direct at
tention to the implication contained IN
this friendly hint from one business
firm to another The point which the
out-of- town concern wished particular
ly to emphasize was that no amount
of attention bestowed upon Mrs. -
would be thrown away, for the simple
reason that she was Mr.. IS second
wife. Long and careful study of the
relations that exist between II husband
and his second wife seems to have con-
WINGED the intelligent mercantile class
es that the latter is very apt to eXer-
else greater influence over the former
than any first wife possibly could. We
are left in doubt as to why this should
be so, but people who are engaged in
vocntions which demand the exercise
of more than ordinary good judgment
| in dealing with humanity in general.
800. "nuse ann Is always to please, are
not likely to err greatly when they as.
sumo that. while Il husband may oc.
casionnlly disagree with his first wife.
he seldom or never finds it pleasant to
differ from his second, particularly on
II shopping tour. There is in the letter
quoted above suggestion for that
large and worthy element of our popu-
lation which is striving constantly to
explain the vagaries and idioSyncra-
sizes of human character. 1t cannot be,
Of course. that husband Is so entire

monial venture has been so we'll
trained that he Invariably makes Il
better husband for the second than he
did for the first woman of his choice.
No amount Of theorizing over this mat
ter will result in satisfactory con-
cluslon. 1t Is probable that in the
present instance there were special
reasons why the New York firm should
be particularly pleasing to the second
wife. The out-Of-tOwn concern could
not safely enter into these reasons. a
hint was thought to he sufficient, and,
trary. we must imagine that the New
York firm acted on and profited by it.
