The Sun misoonceives the situation
as to the Citizens Coke and Fuel Gas
Company's charter. This charter bill
was passed by the Legislature after
that body had passed the bill creating
the Street and Sewer Department, de-
fining its powers and fixing its author
ity. The Incorporating act, being the
later act Of course repeals the prior
act in so far as the two may conflict.
AS the Incorporating act gives the cor
poration authority to use Wilmington
streets under direction OF the City
Council and fails to mention the pres
ent street department, it appears that
the legislative purpose was to prohibit
interference by that department and
to require the company to take its in
structions from the City Council only.

Ientz,s Hot Words.

"You are here defending the War
Department and the Administration
against the damaging testimony before
this committee. You are the consistent
friend Of the War Department, and you
have good reason to be on friendly
terms with it, because you have secured
there nineteen appointments OF relatives
and friends. Two OF them are your own
sons--one a lieutenant colonel, who
never smelled powder"
These words we're hurled at Chairman
John A. Hull by Representative John J q.
Lentz, in the House Military Affairs
Committee during the Idaho bull pen
investigation Monday,
Another startling development before
the committee was the testimony clearly
demonstrating that martial law had been
suggested by President Mckinley before
Governor SteuGenberg, of Idaho, had
issued his proclamation declaring mar
tial law.
Aside from these incidents the delib-
erations ol Of the committee leading up
to them were OF an important and
interesting character.
Representative Lentz brought out the
fact that the War Department bad not
furnished the committee with all the
official kilograms IN its possession,
relating to the troubles in Idaho and
which would supply several missing
links in the chain of evidence, placing
the responsibility for martial law on the
Administration
Representative Lentz then produced
telegram from Lieutenant Lyon to Gen.
Merriam, which indicated that a former
telegram was suppressed by the War
Department.
Mr.. Lentz also referred to the report
OF General Merriam 20 Adjutant General
Corbin ON the riots in Idaho, in which
General Merriam referred to a telegram
from Secretary Alger as his "Orlgnal
instructions" These had also been
suppressed by the War Department.
After some discussion. in which the
Republicans endeavored to bluff Mr..
Lentz from his purpose to force the
hidden documents from cover, by a
partisan vote At was decided to postpone
action until next morning.
II was also brought out by reference
TO the kilograms in evidence that Gen
MerrIam's request for authority from
Washington to declare martial law
antedated by one day Gov. Steuenberg's
proclamation to that effect, thus repell-
ing the charge OF the Republicans that
martial law was first declared by the
Governor and not by the military
authorities. Gen. Merriam's announce
ment of martial law was made to the
War Department and received by and
approved by it and the President March
a. 1899. while Gov. Steuenberg's procla-
nation was dated May 4, 1899.
CIinching this circuwstautial evidence
the follow ing telegram was produced as
testimony conclusivelY showing that
under instructions from the War Depart
ment martial law was proclaimed on
May 3, BY the Military Governor, who

Bynum will be Confirmed.

The nomination of ex Congressman
Bynum. OF Indiana formerly Democrat,
and given a position on the board OF
appraisers for services rendered the
Republican Presidential candidate in
1896, will be confirmed.
Mr.. Bynums nomination has been
before the Senate Committee on Finance
for some time, the Democrats asserting
that he had declared himself Republi'
can, and was not, therefore, legally
entitled to be appointed on the board
as the Republican quota was full. The
question OF his politics was referred to a
subcommittee, consisting OF Senators
Aldrich and Jones, OF Arkansas, but the
committee, voting on party lines,
decided that Mr.. Bynum's name should
be favorably reported to the Senate, on
the ground that he is still Democrat,
1t is not possible, unless hlibustering
tactics are resorted to. for the Demo.
Gratis to prevent Mr.. Bynum's conhrma
tion IN the face OF this favorable report,
and f!ibustering Is hardly feasible, in
view of the fact that the session will not
adjourn until next June.
