Secretary Root Yesterday decided that
the examination of the men named by the
President for commissions as lieutenants
in the Regular Army will not be rigorous.
There has been a demand made by many
Senators and Members of Congress that
the test be made so severe that many of
the men named would be compelled to
drop out. leaving vacancies to be filled by
political power.
Secretary Root said yesterday that the
test would be practically that applied
when enlisted men are examined for com
missions. He believes that 40 per cent of
the men will ma Sc

THE BEAUMONT OIL FIND.
The Excitement Over the Strike
is SubSidinS.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 5o.-The
excitement over the Beaumont oil
find as now about died out, though
the activity among the real estate
agents continues at that place.
There is a general feeling that en-
tirely too much is asked for the
land which is supposed to be valu-
able because Of its proximity to oil,
and until something is really done
toward developing other wells,
there will be hardly revival Of in
terest, SO far as Texas is concerned
The fact that Captain Lucas has
several wells with caps on them in
different parts of the country, is
generally believed to be true, but
the exact location Of the well is not
known, and the further fact that the
oil is not Of the most valuable sort
induces caution. Several oil we'll
companies have recently been
chartered, however, and when all
OF them put rigs into the field aud
begin active operations, it is prob
able that their stock will find a
ready market in Texas. There are
now number Of California and
eastern oil men on the ground, and
their opinion seems to be that for
fuel, the Beaumont oil is excellent,
but for nothing eke, though a
Houston chemist has decided that
it is also fine lubricant. Elsewhere
for OIL wells and the coil fever' is
a recognized disease in south and
east Texas just now.

THE PARDON OF W/LL/E
FOREMAN.


commentator of the Board, Gov.
Heard has granted pardon to
Willie Foreman, who was convicte d
of mansiaughter in this parish in
April, 1898.
Willie Foreman was indicted for
murder by the Grand jury on Oct.
8. 1892. He was charged with the
killing of J. G. Bertrand, at Duson,
on May Is, 1892. The trial of his
case was taken up on Oct. II, 1892,
before the district court with the
Hon. A. c.. Allen as the presiding
judge. District Attorney Gordy
represented the State. The jury
failing to agree, a mistrial was en-
tered.
The tria! Of the case was re-
sumed on April 1883. On the
10Th the jury returned a verdict of
guilty Of manslaughter and recon-
mended the prisoner to the mercy
of the court. Judge Allen SEN
fenced Foreman to nineteen years
in the penitentiary. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme court,
but that tribunal affirmed the
judgment Of the lower court and on
the e1st Of July, 1898, Foreman be-
gan to serve Out his term. Four
years later, in August, 1897, he
made his escape from the camp at
Laiourche Crossing. On Dec. II,
1898, he was captured by Sheriff
Broussard. From that time to the
day of his pardon he was incarcer-
ated in the State peniten tiary.
AS was stated in the beginning of
this article Foreman's pardon was
by the three Members
of the board--the lieutenantgov-
ernor, the attorney genera: and the
district judge The petition asking
for his pardon was signed by the
members of the jury that
him, and it was also
signed by a large number of re
preventative citizens of the parish
Among the signers are many promi,
nent professional and business
men Of this town and parish. Re-
gardless of what may be SAID to the
contrary we accept a mans sigma
approval or disapproval Of thing
1t is therefore elf-evident that
the action of the Board and the
governor is IN accord with the
wishes of large portion Of the peo-
pie of the parish expressed in the
petition asking for the pardon Of
this man.
The Gazette, however, does not
wish to be understood as approving
this pardon. We have often stated
as our opinion that judgments of
the courts should stand, unless it Is
shown by additional evidence after
the trial that the verdict of the jury
is unj ustifab BILE. Otherwise, we be-
ieve that the exercise of the par
cause of justice. Far be it from our
purpose to withhold from any one a
1.-THE of mercy, but we believe it is
the duty of the State to be Just be-
fore being merctful. A strict and
i IN partial enforcement of the laws
is necessary to the we'll being of any
community. The projection Of life
and property can be secured only
through the supremacy Of the law,
though its DEGREES may at times
seem extremely harsh.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
Strong Fight Against the Meas
ure Being Made by Demo.
cratic Senators.

Washington, Ian. 3I.-The Demo.
cratic Senators and their CO.
workers in the Senate, who are op-
posed to the ship subsidy bill, did
not hold a formal conference to-
day to decide upon course to be
pursued with reference to that
measure, as it had been announced
they would do, the explanation be-
ing made that it had been dis
covered that the opposition was
still SO determined as to render a
meeting unnecessary. The plan is
to continue the debate with the
hope of being able to keep it goin,
until 1t will become necessary for
the Republican ma ority to take up
the appropriation bills and other
measures which should pass before
the fourth of March. They say
that they have speeches assured for
eight or ten days and that there are
probably other Senators who will
prepare speeches within that time
ators Daniel, Caffery, Berry, Ken
ney, allen, Money, Lindsay, Butler
and Pettigrew. Senators Clay and
Turner also will make speeches in
addition to those they have already
delivered on this question. 1t is
expected that Senator Caffery will
take at least two days. The oppo-
sition also count upon speeches
from the Republican side of the
chamber. Senators Allison, Per-
kins, Spooner and McCumber being
IN Guided in the list Of probable
speakers.
The canvass of the situation has
the Democratic leaders
that there are half dozen or more
Republican Senators who would
like to see the bill defeated, even
in its amended form but they do
not expect their votes against the
bill if It should come to vote.
On the other hand they count upon
the loss of some OF their own mem
bership in support of the bill.
