CAPTAIN IMPEY ON TRIAL.
STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES IN NAVAL
OFFICERS COURT MARTIAL.
IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TR1BUNE.l


Washington, June 9.-An extraordinary case
that is exciting comment in the navy is that or
Captain Robert E. Impey. who is now being
court martialed for -'scandaIous conduct tend
ing the destruction of good morals" Captain
/ Impey has been officer above reproach. with
one of the longest records of service of any man
in the naval establishment. On September 81
this year he will have forty years service to his
credit. with the right to retire with the rank of
rear-admiral and annuity of S4.125 for life.
He entered the Naval Academy in 1861. was
graduated and has had important duty con-
tnuously and almost at the close of such a
long career with its varied experience. he would
be regarded about the last man to be put on
trial for a breach of discipline punishable by
dismissal
What is more remarka BILE is the character of
the alleged offence and the defence set-up in his
behalf which might be looked upon more leni-
emily he a youth just entering the service.
but which are exceedingly difficult to reconcile
with officer of his years and discretion All
the circumstances are most peculiar.
Captain Impey. who is stationed at the Mare
Island Navy Yard treated professionally by
dentist, who submitted a bill for $50 The bill
was returned the dentist by Captain Impey
with letter saying that he regarded it as un-
reasonable and inasmuch the officials Of the
Navy Department who settled for bills of this
character would also take that view and refuse
to allow the amount he suggested that the dem
tist reduce his charges The dentist declined to
make any reduction, and, after waiting for what
he deemed sufficient length of time for Captain
Impey to settle the BILL sent it and the corre-
spondence between Captain Inpey and himself
TO the Navy Department.
AS the officials of the Navy Department nave
no concern with the private debts OF naval on'-
GERS the statement in Captain Impeys letter
constituted a serious offence against the naval
regulations Before taking action against the
officer the department called on him for an ex-
planatfon. In his answer he admitted having
signed the letter which contained the statement
about the necessity of reducing the bill TO secure
it's approval by the auditor for the Navy De-
partment but explained that his signature had
been attached through oversight The letter
had been prepared by another person, he said,
and had been signed by him without knowing
that it contained the discriminating language
The Navy Department. however, decided that
the matter too serious to be passed over
without the fullest investigation, and the trial
of Captain ImDey by court martial was ordered.
The court is composed of Rear-Admiral Merrill
Miller and Captains Henry Glass. William H
Whiting James NJ Forsyth. George c. Reiter,
William ". Mead and Thomas Perry, with Com
modOre McCracken as judge-advOcate.

.HR.S. U'KINLEY BETTER.
SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN PRESIDENTS
WIFE'S CONDITION.

Washington June 9.-The slight improvement
in Mrs McKinley's health which manifested it
self in the latter part of the week continues. and
hope begins 10 be felt that she may recover from
the present attack. The Improvement. however.
is so slight as not TO change materially the ex-
trene gravity Of the case.
DR. Rixey. after his visit 10 the White House
tonight said leaving there at 1880 o'clock:
Mrs Mckinley is slowly improving. She is
resting comfortably now and is doing nicely.
Mrs Mckinley sat up a few minutes to-day.
II was the second time she has been able 10 do
so in some time. Surgeon-General Sternberg re-
mained longer than usual this evening Hereto
fore he has maintained a sphinxlike silence
about Mrs NcKinley's condition. but when he
left tonight he said: Mrs. Mckinley is doing
very we'll now. There are no new develop
rnents."
Mrs Mckinley will be taken 10 Canton when
ever she is in condition TO bear the journey. Ex-
tensive improvements have been made at the
Mckinley home in Canton, including the build
ing Of a covered driveway and the remodelling
of portions Of the house. and it was planned
last autumn that she and the President should
go 10 Canton about July l of this summer In
case Mrs Mckinley RECEIVERS this plan will be
carried out. though it is not expected that she
will be strong enough to leave here by July 1,
even If Improvement should continue steadily
DR. Rfxey said tonight he unprepared to
predict whether she would he able to carry out
these plans 1t is believed that considerable
benefit would accrue from removal to her old
home, especially it is cooler there than here.
There is no truth in the story that the dispatch
boat Dolphin is being sent here with view to
taking her out in that vessel later on.

Dental family continue to show their sympathy
