there is also the possibllity-a slender one, but
still an actual one-of a combination of circum-

WINTER VOYAGES.

There are two seasons of the year when Amer
leans go away from home in pursuit of health
and pleasure. In warm weather diversion and
regeneration are sought in reasonably high lati-
tudes but in cold weather semi-tropcal eli
mate naturally has the preference.
This second semi-annual migration is now
under full headway, having begun more than
a month ago, and the crowded condition of
the Cedric and the Caronia when they left New
York yesterday testifes to the growing popu-
larity of winter voyages to and through the
Mediterranean. Years ago. if one meditated
spending the winter in Southern Europe it
was not unlikely that he would 90 first to
Liverpool, Southampton or Havre, and cross
the Continent to reach his destination He
now finds the direct route more convenient for
many reasons. 1t affords a somewhat better
assurance of immunity from severe storms and
includes points of interest which would have
been inaccessible without an extensive detour.
The Azores and Madeira, both outside the
Mediterranean, now visited by many of
the excursion steamers that enter the Strait
of Gibraltar Moreover, some of the largest
and most commodious vessels afloat are now
devoted to this service Even if a journey Is
not to extend beyond the Riviera or Italy the
Mediterranean steamers afford fine facilities
for making It. whereas the extension of the
itinerary to Egypt and the Holy Land opens
up new possibilities to those who are disposed
TO prolong their explorations.
For persons who are good Sailors but cannot
spare the time and money for visit to Naples
and Cairo, there are many other attractive trips
to be made at this season of the year Some
are better suited than are others to the cond-
ton of ones purse after the holidays, and In
respect TO length also there is a considerable
variety. Again, the tourist can usually gratify
his taste, whether ne wants a good deal OF

The King of Saxony is to be sued for heavy

Inquiry has been made by correspondents con-
corning the right or power of the President to
infiict the punishment Of "dishonorable dis
charge" upon soldiers without court martial. If
1t be replied that he has such right power.
1t must be added that that question seems TO
have no pertnence to the Brownsville episode,
for the reason that the troops there were not
"dishonorably discharged" but discharged
without honor" which is different thing. Be-
tween the two the opinions of judge advocates
general have clearly distinguished. "A dishon-
"orable discharge is a discharge expressly im-
posed punishment by sentence" But dis
charge without honor is another kind OF dis
charge, which is employed in cases where there
has been sentence adjudging a dishonorable
discharge but where the discharge awarded is
induced by conduct or circumstances not honor
"able to the soldier" This form Of discharge
has been in without challenge since 1893.
1t is essential to a right understanding of the
under consideration that the distinc
tion between the two forms of discharge shall
be kept clearly in mind.
