Recommend. smiths retirement.

In this General Smith has signally failed
and for this he has been Justly convicted.
Although the sentence imposed Is exceed
ingly light, II carries with IL a condemna-
ton which for an officer of his rank and
age is really a severe punishment.
For this reason and for the further rea-
son that General Smith has served this
country long and faithfully. has exhibited
high courage and good conduct In many
battles, has been seriously wounded in
the civil war and ia the war with Spain
and Is about concluding a long AMI Eun-
orable career as a faithful and loyal Sc. V
ant of his country, 1 recommend that the
mild sentence imposed be confirmed.
Should you approve the findings md
sentence OF the court, in addition TO this
recommendation l feel safe to say further
that in view of the findings and sentence
and OF the evident inhrmities which have
made 1t possible that the facts f6 und
should exist, II is not longer for the good
Of service that he should continue in his
rank. His usefulness Is an example, gUide
and controlling interest for the Junior Of
hcers Of the army. is at an end, and as he
Is already upward of 50 years of age, 1
recommend hat you exercise the discre-
ton vested in you by law and now retire
him from active service.

BOYS MURDER THEIR UNCLE
Jury Finds Verdict of Guilty and
They Arc Sentenced to
Death.

HUDSON, N. Y, April 1S.-The jury in
the case of Burton, Willis, and Frederick
Van Wormer, charged with the, murder Of
their uncle, Peter A. Hallenbeck, today re-
turned a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree against all three Of the accused. The
death sentence was pronounced a few min
utes after the jury brought in its verdict.
The crime was committed last Christmas
eve. Early in the evening of that day the
three brothers and Harvey Bruce, their
cousin, who is also under indictment for
participation in the murder, drove to the
Hallenbeck home at Greenport, this (Co-
lumbia) county. The young men wore false
faces and also wore their coats turned in
side out. Hallenbeck, who was a very old
man, opened the door in response to their
knocking, and as he did so they fred upon
him, inficting wounds of which he died in
a short time. At their trial, which lasted
about two weeks, the accused men declared
they went to Hallenbeck's house merely for
the purpose Of frightening him, with no
thought of i~njuring him Bruce, who Sc
cured a separate trial, testified against the
brothers.

ROURKE'S PRUNING KNIFE
Base Ball Manager f. Preparing to
Cut on SuperHuous Men
ON Team,

w. A. Rourke has returned from st.
Joseph, where at a hastily summoned ses-
sion Of the Western league magnates yes
terday M. H. Sexton was elected president
of the organization to succeed Mr.. Whit
field, deceased. Mr.. Rourke had several
base ball matters of vital local inerest to
tell about yesterday. Said he:
at did not take us long to elect a presl-
dent. The meeting lasted about thirty min
utes, there being no other business trans
acted. Five of us were there in person,
with three proxies. Burns was there for
Colorado Springs, with Packard's Denver
proxy. l carried Omaha's vote and that OF
Des Moines. Van Brunt held Mllwaukee's
sanction besides speaking for st. Joseph.
Then Manning for Kansas City and Barston
for Peoria completed the party.
w are all pleased with the selection,
and I am especially so. as 1 favored Sex
ton all along as a first choice. 1t does not
look now as If we had sidetracked him. 1t
does seem now as if the Western league
had its world by the tail. with a down hill
pull, and we will start the season next
Wednesday in nj shape all along the line.
81 am new nearing the point where l
must begin to Gull out my team players.
One fielder, two pitchers and two catchers
must be dropped. The pitchers l shall not
bother until June 1, carrying the five men
l now have till then. That will give me a
longer time to look them over, which is es-
sential in the case Of twirlers. On that
date, however, Eddie Gordon joins the team
and two men must go. Just now owen
looks very good to me, and l shall prob
ably keep the left handler, Graham. But
you cannot tell yet anything about what my
pitching staff will eventually be. Risley
may make extremely good in the next
month, and / like him. Brown and Alloway
have given satisfaction so far.
with that fielder, 1t is a toss-up be-
tween Carter, Stone and Burg. Which one
am I to let go? Carter's experience recon-
mends him. Burg's industry and his ALL
around ability to play either in or outield
makes him a strong card. Stone is a hitter.
and there you are. l have not decided yet
whom to cut off. but I'll do it on May l.
II shall drop two catchers next Wednes-
day, at the opening of the league season.
Gonding will surely stay. l shall not keep
Reid. That leaves 1t between Hayes and
Thomas for the other job. Hayes has done
better at backstop work so far. but Thomas
acts more like a ball player. He has the
ginger, which people like to see."

RROOKLYN.
SWEET BREATH
when. Gomez is Left ON.

A test was made to find II Just the leav-
ing OF of coffee alone would produce an
equal condition Of health as when coffee
is left OF and Postum Food Coffee used
in it's place.
A man from Clinton, Wis, made the ex-
pertinent. He says: About a year ago
left off drinking coffee and tea and began
to use Postum. For several years previous
my system had been in wretched condition.
/ always had a thickly furred, bilious
tongue and foul breath often accompanied
with severe headaches. ! was troubled all
the time with chronic constipation, go that
/ was morose in disposition and almost
discouraged.
At the end OF the first week after max
ing the change from coffee to Postum l
witnessed a marvellous change In myself.
My once coated tongue cleared on, my
small appetite increased, breath became
sweet and the headaches ceased entirely.
One thing / wish to state emphatically,
you have In Postum a virgin remedy for
constipation, for l certainly had about the
worst case ever known among mortals and
l am completely cured Of it. l feel, in
every way. like a new person.
During the last summer l concluded that
/ would experiment to see II the Postum
kept me In good shape or whether / had
gotten well from just leaving on coffee.
So / quit Postum for quite a time and
drank cocoa and water. / found out be-
fore two weeks were past, that something
was wrong and / began TO get ~costive, a.
OF old. Il was evident the liver was not
working properly. so 1 became convinced
II was not the avoidance Of coffee alone
thai cured me but the graet value Oams
from the regular use OF Postum"

ldNubg dppealeu lToiu the decision OF the
chair. The vote was taken by %teIlers.
Henderson Ruling.
Speaker Henderson was the first member
to pass between the tellers in support Of
the chairs ruling. 1t was an interesting
spectacle, as the issue was put to the test.
The whole democratic side rose enmasse
end watched the republicans to see how
many would decline to vote with their
colleagues. Not a democrat voted to sus-
tain the chair.
The Louisiana delegation was the first
to go through IN opposition to the chairs
ruling. Then came the republican recall
citrants, thirty-seven strong. The demo-
Gratis cheered as they went through. When
the announcement was made that the chair
had been overruled. 100 to 121, the demo-
Gratis and the republican insurgents cheered.
A dozen members we're on their feet -four
ishing amendment and clamoring for recog-
milton, but the chair recognized Mr.. Payne,
the republican floor leader. Amid profound
silence he addressed his republican col
eagues. He said II was useless to address
the other side. The opposition. on his
own side, he said, claimed to be friendly
to the beet sugar industry. The amend
ment was a proposition to reduce the duty
on sugar from beet sugar countries. He
warned those friends Of beet sugar that he
proposed to show his friendship for beet
sugar by voting against the amendment.
Morris Amendment Adopted.
The vote then required on the Morris
amendment, which Was adopted amid demo-
cratic cheers by a vote Of 1854 to Ill. The
majority for 1t was. so. overwhelming that
Mr.. PAYNE did not demand ~teilers.
On motion of Mr.. Payne, the committee
then rose and reported the bill to the
house. The previous question was ordered
and Mr.. Payne demanded a separate vote
on the Morris amendment to abolish the
diferential on refined sugar and the roll
was called. The Morris amendment was
adopted, 1879 to 105. All the democrats, and
the following republicans, voted for the

QUEEN HAS TYPHOID FEVER
Complications Arise in the Illness of the
Young Ruler Of Holland.
PATIENT PASSES FAIRLY QUIET NIGHT
Physicians Say that In 60 the Present
Time, However, the MRIady
Has Run Its Ordinary
Course.

THE HAGUE, April tS.-Ap official bull
letin was issued this morning from Castle
Loo stating that Queen Wilhelmina passed
a fairly quiet night. Her fever continues.
The alarming fever which complicated
the queens condition is now oficially ad-
mitted to be typhoid.
A special edition of the omclal Journal
this morning publishes the doctors state
ment, as follows:
The supposition, entertained by the
queens, physicians since the commence
ment of her majesty's Illness, has become
a certainty. IL Is now established that the
queen is suffering from typhoid fever. Up
to the present time the malady has run its
ordinary course.
The question Of establishing a regency
is being earnestly considered by the Meth
erlands government. and It is thought prob
able, in view of the possible long illness
Of the queen, that the states General Par
Lament will be summoned, in joint ses-
sion, at an early date, to take action in
the matter.
The gates Of Castle Loo have been pla-
carded with a notification reading: ''Ty-
phoid fever within"
This was in compliance with the Dutch
law requiring every house in which a case
of contagious disease exists to post a mo-
tice to that effect outside.
1t has not yet been discovered where her
majesty contracted the disease. 1t is de-
clared that while the water supplied to the
castle is good, the queen had been in the
habit Of drinking sterilized milk.

Be 1t said in sorrow. however. yesterdays

were too many, and served to mar the
contest considerably. some of the mistakes
being such as to cost many runs. On the
whole the game was probably the nearest
to unsatisfactory base ball that the Omaha
team has exhibited this year, and the col
legians also did a few deplorable things
which 1t is not their habit to perpetrate.
For much of this the wind and hercely
blowing dust can doubtless be blamed. It
