MILITARY PRISONERS FREED
BY Decision Of Federal Court in St.
T,o,,io

dispatch from st. Louis yesterday saws.
Established precedents of the United States
army were overthrown and the freedom Of
nearly two hundred men. now confined In
FEDERAL penitentiaries, was assured by a de-
cision rendered by the United States circuit
court OF appeals today in the case of Peter
C. Deming,a former captain OF United States
Volunteers, against Robert w. McClaugh-
rey, warden Of the federal penitentiary at
Fort Leavenworth
Deming was imprisoned on the sentence
OF court-martial. composed of nine reeu-
lar army Oflcers convened by General w
II. Shafter, on March %, 1900. The opinion
OF the circuit court, written by Judge Wall
ter 5. Sanborn, Is that the court martial
which sentenced Deming acted I'm VIOLA
t1on OF article II Of the articles of war,
which provide that officers of the regular
army shall not be competent to sit on
courts-martial for the trial Of officers and
soldiers of other forces.
Ihe essential question, stated In Judge
Sanborn's opinion, is whether the volunteer
army is the same as the regular army or
whether 1t Is one of the "other forces''
mentioned in article II The opinion estab-
llshes the fact that the volunteer army is
at all times distinct from the regular army
Deming will bs released from the Fort
LeaVenWorth penitentiary within sixty days
ana all other former members of the vol
unteer army. who are confined in federal
prisons on sentences inflicted by courts
martial of regular army officers, will also
be liberated as the result Of todaHs deci-
sion. 1t is stated. E. A. Rozier, United
states district attorney. estimates the NUM-
Der of such cases at 200.

TWO THEMES DISCUSSED.
Recollections Of Washington Core
spondent-Washing Authors.

Observation-Disclosures Authors.
The members of the Columbia Historical
Society and citizens generally in attend
ance at the regular monthly meeting Of
the Columbia Historical Society, which
was held last evening at the Shoreham,
were entertained as well as instructed by
the able and interesting papers which were
read. "Recollections and Observations of
a Washington Correspondent Of Thirty
five Years Service" was the subject Of
paper by Mr.. Francis A. Richardson, who
recently retired from active work as the
head Of the Washington bureau of the
Baltimore Sun. In another column will
be found portions of Mr.. Richardson's
paper. 1t was most entertaining.
A paper on EARLY Literature in the Dis
trict,' by DR.. AfnsWorth r. Spofford, one
of the vice presidents of the society, proved
to be a valuable sketch Of the men and
women who have earned distinction by
their pens. He spoke Of the newspaper
editorS-men like Samuel Harrison Smith
Gales and Seaton. Father Richie, Peter
Force, CAMEL Bailey and others, who. he
said, were a power In their day and gem
Grafton His account Of the eccentric but
versatile Ann Rozel1, writer and newspa-
per publisher. gave an amusing glimpse
of her career. Included in this paper was
a list-probably the first ever prepared-of
authors who were residents of the Dis
trict, a notable array of men and women
who, while living here, have produced
books and done other literary work.
In the opinion of DR.. Spofford. no por-
tion of the country outside Of New Eng
land can furnish more fruitful list Of
authors than has Washington and it's inn
mediate vicinity.

An Inauguration Date. Suggested.
10 the Editor Of The Evening Star:

AS the change In the day of the presi-
Dental Inauguration is now before the nub-
lie 1 should like to send you a suggestion
on slightly different lines from the letters
1 have been reading In your able paper.
The day-March 4-for the Inauguration OF
the new President was fixed in the days
when roads and communications Of all
kinds were extremely primitive and it was
impossible to know the results quickly after
an election and for the electoral delegate
to reach Congffss with his official an
nouncement. When we think Of our pres
ent means Of arriving at the facts and that
the name Of the successful candidate is al
most certainly known before midnight on
election day, weqcan hardly realize that in
Virginia, for inBtances the full count could
hardly have been definitely known under
twenty days, and IN some other states It
would even have entaken longer.
Any one who HAS carefully followed the
course Of our Legislators will have observed
that during the short session, ending March
4, Just after a presidential election no inn
pcrtant legislation IL undertaken. The out
going President does hot like to hamper his
successor and Congress does not care to do
anything beyond passing the necessary ap-
The ~ weather la Washington is fine until
Christmas. and1H the Inauguration were
to take place otie month after elections,
ION the first Tues after the first Nom
day" in December, good day would be
almost assured. The new President could
come in with the new Congress at once
and not have to wait a year before the
win Of the people could be enforced,
which had been given an expression at the
election In the previous November. There
is q great want of sense In having an
election in November, with perhaps q burn
ing question before the country, and then
allow the opposite party a whole session
Of Congress to do what the people" do
not want, while the newly elected Con-
gress must wait a year and a month to
begin It's work, except an extraordinary
session be called. which Is not possible un-
der four months at least.
The world seems to have taken a fresh
start with the new century. and this waste
Of time should not now be allowed, as the
necessity for it is passed. A. L. O.

High Buildings.

To the Editor # The Evening Star:
Concerning the recent action of the Com
mssioners limiting the height of new
buildings, permit me to offer these few
remarks:
No one doubts the good faith of the Com
mssionsrs, whom We all respect and ad-
mre. and yet it seems to me their action
in this matter will temporarily at least
retard the growth and progress of our
city: especially at this time when our best
citizens have been holding meetings with
a view to the advancement OF our business
interests. Washington should no longer
be looked upon as village, but should
take rank with our larger cities. The
erection Of tall structures is said to be
especially Objectionable when located near
our government department buildings
Why not add three or four stories to the
patent Office, the old Post Office Depart
partment, the Treasury Department or
even the War, Navy and State Depart
ment? Surely their present foundations
would permit OF this, and II would not only
greatly improve their appearance, but
would be money saved to the government.
The additional office room gained In this
way is greatly needed and would be the
most desirable of any In the city, giving
plenty OF light and ventilation. which can
be said OF very few Of our present govern
ment offices. &c

To Entertain the Guests.

Oh the CauUIcS.
To Entertain the Guests.
Have, If possible, several pieces Of mu-
sic; violin, harp and piano are best for
small informal affairs. Dancing and cards
are the most popular forms of entertain
ment for small companies; and therefore,
have one room arranged for dancing, II
the guests are young enough to wish to
indulge in this pastime, and in another
room place a few tables for the card play
ers. After receiving your guests the host
and hostess must be free to look aIter
their entertainment, whether that oe danc-
ing, cards or merry chatter. Games are
a pleasant form of amusement with many
when the party is informal and dancing
and cards are not in order.

American Gas-Coal for Austria.

Consul F. w. Hassfeld writes to our De-
partment Of State from Trieste, as fol-
lows: There is an increasing demand in
Austria for a high-grade gas coal. Strange
as 1t may seem, the production Of artificial
gas Is advancing in this country. This is
due to two different causes. first, the Auer
incandescent gas burner. an Austrian in
vention. which is in general use here. has
greatly increased the efficiency Of gas light,
and in measure re-established the popu-
larity of gas as an flluminant; second,
the relentless war which is being waged
against the smoke nuisance in many cities
has led large portion Of the smaller es-
adjustments to employ gas as their motive
power. The increased consumption Of gas
necessary, especially In larger cities. and
has also greatly quickened the interest Of
gas experts In improved processes OF pro-
ductton. as well as in new and more pro-
ductive kinds OF raw material. In the past,
the bulk OF the gas coal consumed in SOUTH
ern Austria has been imported from Eng
land. The present price OF this coal I. o. b.
Trieste is about 1os C$462) per ton. and
the average quantity OF gas produced from
1t is from 20 to 30 cubic meters per quintal.
or about 106O0 cubic feet per ton. The to-,
consular district is probably about 1000
tons per annum In q recent number OF q
German gas Journal, the statement appear
ed that at test made In London, an Amer.
gas per long ton. Such q coal. II 1t really
exists, would be worth here not less than
So q ton. Emil Won Mafberg. manager OF I
the Eggenburg Gas Works, at Graz (25O
miles north Of Trieste). recently applied to
me for addresses Of American exporters OF
gas coal. and. referring to the alleged Lon-
don test, said: THE statement is astound-
ing II 1t be true. 1t would pay even in
Graz to use American COAL" / should be
pleased to receive from our coal producers,
for distribution among interested parties In
my district, analyses OF their Goals an well
as statements OF well-authenticated gas
tests. where such tests have been made.
That with properly directed efforts q good
market can be established here for superior
grades Of American gas coal. have not

MIR, TELLER ON PHILIPPINES.
Would Give the islanders the Govern
ment They Want.

Senator Turner Of Washington yesterday
concluded his speech begun In the Senate
last Friday, and Immediately afterward the
conference report on the urgent deficiency
bin was taken UP. Mr.. Hale moved to
accept the House amendment relating to
the opening Of state claims. This was
agreed to, which passed the bill.
The discussion Of the Philippine bill was
continued. Mr.. Patterson (Col) present
ed an amendment providing for the repeal
of the sedition laws applied to the Philip
pines.
Mr.. Teller gave notice Of an amendment
providing that it is not intended by the
government Of the United States to perma-
nently annex the Philippine Islands as an
integral part of the United States, but that
1t is intended to establish, with the consent
onG assistance of the inhabitants thereof, a
government or governments suitable 10
their wants and condition.
Addressing the Senate, Mr.. Teller said he
was not going to be disturbed by the un-
parliamentary and indecent charge made
against those who do not agree with the
administration policy that they are unpa-
triotic and have not the republics well
fare at heart.
Because I stand here with words of
sympathy for the Filipinos," said he, Il
am not guilty OF treason, as has been
charged against a senator In this chamber.
To be guilty of treason, he said, one must
commit an overt act.
Mr.. Teller said that in 1898 the question
was raised as to whether the Constitution
o. the United States, by it's own force. went
into operation in the Philippine Islands. He
expressed the opinion that it did not and
1t could not until Congress put it there by
a positive declaration of law. He main
tanned, however, that the Constitution
ought to be extended over the Philippines
SO that the Inhabitants of the islands should
have all the protection afforded by that
great document. Referring to the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court, he said he
had found difficulty in ascertaining what
the court meant.
Mr.. Spooner interrupted Mr.. Teller to
inquire whether he regarded the acquisition
of Porto Rico as a violation of the Teller
amendment regarding Cuba.
Mr.. Teller said he had not complained
Of the acquisition of Porto Rico because
the people of that island had desired it.
"And do not mean to say" he continued,
that IL the people of Cuba want to have
that island annexed and we want 1t, we
cannot annex it under that provision. 1 do
say, however, that we cannot annex Cuba
unless the Cubans agree to it with unanim-
ity"
Mr. Teller then yielded the floor for the
day and the Senate, at 4:2b pm, on mo-
ton Of Mr. Lodge, went into executive ses-
sion, and soon afterward adjourned.
