MAJOR PRICE GUILTY IN PART.
But Gen. Grant Thinks His Acquittal on
Charge OF Intoxicauon Unvarranted.

Major David Price of the Artillery
Corps, recently tried here by oourt-mar-
tial, has been found guilty of conduct
to the prejudice of good order and mill
tary discipline. in violation of the
~sixty-second article Of war" and Of
failing to perform certain duties to which
he had been assigned; but on the charge Of
conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man. in failing to keep the pledge he had
signed, he has been found not guilty.
The sentence of the court is that Major
Price be reduced five files in the lineal list Of
major of the Artillery Corps, and to be repri-
manded.
Major Price was ordered last February to
make inspections at Syracuse, Auburn,
Troy, Geneva. Albany and Fort Grebel. He
reached Syracuse on February 9. What
happened to him there was told in detail at
the trial. He admitted hat he drank some
malt, but no intoxicants. The malt, he
said, must nave been dragged.
In reviewing the case by way of reprimand
Gen. Grant says:
None Of the witnesses who observed him
or came in contact with him during this
period have testified positively that he was
intoxicated. but all the circumstances Of the
case point with %unerring certainty to in
toxication as a fact; that his condition on
being found was produced through excessive
use of intoxicating liquor. that such condition
could have been produced in no other way.
Investigation and statement Of the Witnesses
prior to trial create the belief that they have
failed to tell the plain truth to the court that
Major Price was on a drunken debauch.
The finding OF the court and lis sentence
hold Major Price responsible for neglecting
bIe dut1t HtrriuU the time m antiOnp1. In the
opinion Of the reviewing authority. he should
have been found guilty Of the second charge
and its specifications.
The sentence il therefore approved. The
remarks herein are believed TO be a sufficient
reprimand. and the sentence will be forwarded
to the Wal Department in order that the re-
duction In rank may be executed.

SOUTH ASKS FOR RECOGNITION,
Senator Daniel Says That Section Has Beeu
Ignored Long Enough.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Senator Daniel
Dem. Va made a speech in the Senate
to-day appealing for greater recognition
for the Southern States that were in the
late ~Confederacy in the higher walks Of
official life,
The speech was made on the Urgent De-
fciency bill and related to the clause
in the bin making appropriation for
the Pan-American Conference at Rio ia
metro. The clause carried the provision
that the delegates on the part of the United
States should be- distributed among the
various sections Of the country.
Mr.. Daniel favored the provision because
for a long time the Southern States had
not had their fair share of proper repre-
sentation in the higher walks Of official life.
The discrimination he attributed to tie
late civil war-a revolution that swept away
all tie old landmarks. 1t was time now,
however, that the South Rad some repre-
s~entation, especially in view Of the spirit Of
the new national regime. 1t was under
stood. he said. that five delegates were to
be appointed to the Rio conference. The
earrings before the committee disclosed a
purpose to appoint two dele gates from Chi
York and the other the Porto Rican dele
gate in Congress. The South and the sec
tion west Of the Mississippi would DO un-
represented.
AIR. Hale (Rep., Me-, in charge Of the
bill, suggested that he would consent to in
crease the appropriation from $50, 900 to
SIS, 600 to permit Of the appointment Of two
moro delegates to theR Rio conference, which
would give an opportunity to recognize
the South and West in the appointment OF
delegates.
The amendment was agreed to, and Mr..
Daniel. apparently satisfied, ended his
speech with brief tribute to the new South
Thereupon the Urgent Deficiency bill was

Flagler's lawyers produced an affidavit
setting forth the failure to get an important
witness and Justice Dixon decided that this
affidavit wouldn't 60 because the process
server simply had been told the man wasn't
at home. The court refused to allow an
adjournment and then the lawyers got
busy with the telephone. They called up
Mr.. Flagler, who had not personally ap-
peared, and explained to him the dilemma
in which they found themselves, He
told them to settle the case for 81 900, and
Justice Dixon instructed the jury to return
a verdict for that amount. Mr.. Springer
was in court with his counsel. Alexander
Simpson.

The board Of county commissioners
met specially this morning. to take &C;
ton upon the petition Of the c.. M &

nehaha avenue for purposes connected
in the projected new carshops of that
road in South Minneapolis. The, COM
mittee on roads and bridges viewed the
ground yesterday and; this morning.
William Lochren, as attorney for the
road; c.. G. Sturtevant and r. C. Girls
void appeared before the board, and
before the report was read, discussed
the matter -voluminously in its various
bearings. F. G: Griswold, while ad-
hitting the public policy of fixing the
carshops at this city, was opposed to
granting any part Of the public high
way for that purpose. C. G. Sturtevant
showed that the route by Riverside
avenue was shorter than by Minnehaha
and desultory debate ensued, after
which the committee reported in favor
Of the petition and the board voted to
approve the report, Commissioner Ward
only voting against it, This. action Of
the board settles practically the coming
of the shops. Ground will be broken
week after next and the work on the
foundation will begin at once and be
continued during the winter If the
weather permits The force with which
the shops will open will be 500 men, but
this number is apt to increase steadily.
