AL0NZ0 WALKER RELEASED.
military Authorities Declared Ho Was Ar
rostod For Inciting Militiamen
to Mutiny,

to Mutiny.
FRANKFORT, KY. Feb. 5.--Alonzo
Walker, the stenographer who was
placed under arrest on the charge Of IN
citing the soldiers of the state guard to
n,utiny while pinning notice of pro-
posed application for an injunction upon
the door of Governor Taylor, was re-
leased.
The release was not made in response
to the writ OF habeas corpus which
ShcriH Sutcr tried III vain Saturday to
serve upon Governor Taylor. The lat.
ter concluded that Walker had remained
in custody for sufficient length of
time and told him to 20 home. The
charge OF melting to mutiny has not
been quashed, but Walker may not be
brought before courtmartial, as was at
one time contemplated by tho officers of
tlo state guard,
Adjutant General Collier said Walker
was not discharged, but simply gwen
his liberty until arrangements can be
made for his trial by courtmartial.
When this will be has not been deter.
mined as yet, and probably will not be
at present. MIR. Walker was not even
paroled, although he offered to sign q
formal parole. But this was not con.
sidered necessary, as he promised TO be
on hand when his trial was called, and
his word was sufficient.
Asked IL Walkers release was in.
fiuenced at all by desire to forestall
any possible application to the federal
court for writ of habcas corpus, Adju-
tant General Collier said: Not in the
least. AS said his arrest was simply q
matter Of military discipline. He was
the first to attempt to incite mutiny,
and we considered that any attempts of
that kind should be nipped in the bud. -
IA wrong impression apparently pre-.
walls in regard to the reasons for the ar.
rest said Colonel Williams. MIR.
Walker was heard to make statements
two days before his arrest that were re-
garded as mutinous. and persons over
hearing his remarks made affidavit to
that effect. Those affidavits are now on
file with the governor. The order for
his arrest was accordingly made out by
Governor Taylor, aud we were only
waiting for an opportunity to arrest
him. His arrest at the time it did oc-
cur was as unlocked for by us as it was
by him, aud was more of an accident
than design. Mr.. Walker himself will
tell You that the order for his arrest
was read to him two minutes after he
was arrested 1t is simply nonsense to
say that he was confined because he
pinned court notice on tho governors

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--In the house
the consular and diplomatic appropria.
tion bill, which Chairman Hit expects
to call up, probably will raise wide
field of discussion regarding our forciga
relations, touching. possibly, the recip.
rocity treaties negotiated under The
Dingley law, but more especially the
question of mediation in the South Afri.

of Michigan, expects to offer an amend.
ment for minister to the South Afr1.

of the Beers may be able to bring the
question to test.
Further discussion of the Philippine
question also is inevitable.

 One of the prettiest and most charm ing musicaleS which the people of Wa terbury have had an opportunity of listening to was that which the audi
 ence that well nigh filled the cosy lit lle hall at the Convent de Notre Dame was treated to last night, by pupils connected with that far-famed institution of learning. The musicale was in the nature of a Christmas clos ing by the seniors of the school and an excellent and fitting closing it was. The music was Of :: high order. and the selections. which included compost tiOnS from the premier authors and composers. were rendered with that delicacy and tinenesS of tOuch and ac
 ton which is the very soul of music
 The singing was of an especially charming nature. The singers were i'll splendid voice and well deserved the hearty applause which greeted their singing The chOruscs were exception ally fine and by their work showed they had been faithfully trained. The even ing's exercises opened with an over ture from Mozart by the Misses Cecilia Herringer and E. Madden. The fol lowing program was then carried out i'll an admirable manner: A greeting song by the convent choir: instrument al solos. the Misses Roselyn BrOwnell and Mamie Fay; q harp solo. Miss Julia Brennan: song. with violin accompa- niment. Miss C. Moriarty: instrument al solos. the Misses Norah Mccarthy and LilIa Loughlin: hymn to St Ce- cilia, chorus: piano selections. the Misses E. Madden and Amy Blanchett; vocal trio. the Misses F.. IaWlor. (. MCriarty and J. Brennan: piano solos, the Misses Cecilia Heringer and Julia Brennan; chorus. ''-Au Itevoir.' The entertainment was satisfactory and never did q more pleased audience leave a hall as the one last evening. This afternoon Christmas closing eX- ercises were held by the juniors. Little tots. who scarcely could reach up to the piano. rendered selections in | q praiSeworth manner, while others. | just as little gave several recitatons 1 in a charming style.
