The President has passed upon the record of the court-martial in the case of Colonel Compton of the Fourth Cavalry, who was charged with failure while in command of the military poet at Walla nana to take steps to prevent inn lynch ing of a man named Hunt under arrest for killing one of the soldiers under him. The court found him guilty, aud sen tenced him to suspension from rank and command for three years on half pay and to be confined in the limits of a inif- tary post. The President approved the proceedings of the court, but mitigated the sentence to suspension from rank and command on half psy for two years. The Director ot the Mint, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, has issued instructions to the superin tendents of the assay office in New York that in cases of deposits of foreign gild or bars such an approximation of value as in the discretion of the superintendent may be regarded. as safe, not axceed 90 'per cent, of the value, - oe paid pending the melt and aasuy. The pur pose of this regulation is to encourage, so far as can be legally done, the govern ment importation of foreign gold into the United State by allowing the im porters spot cash for foreign gold so soon as received instead of requiring them to wait while the deposits are being melted and the exact gold determined. Bv a recent decision acting Secretary Grant by inference held that the World' Columbian Exposition is a private and not a national affair. If Assistant Sec retary Grant is correct, it will raise the question with some people bow Congress came to decide the location of the exposition, by whi t authority the President named the Commissioner and why Secretary Foster haa been paying out pubKe . money to the government Fair Commissioners, who went abroad in the interest of the exposition. , As sistant Secretary Grant' decision came about in this way: There haa been some complaint that the building erected were not safe, and the Chicago people assert that tiiis complaint came from New York, where there never ha been a friendly feeling for Chicago or the fair. In order to diapoae of all these stories the Commissioner asked the Secretary of War to detail a corps of engineers to Inspect the building. The Commission ers thought a report by such a corps would have more weight than ii it were made by private engineers. In replying to the request Secretary Grant stated that Section 1224 ot the Revised Statutes forbade armv officer from performing work of any kind for private persons or corporation", nid for this reason he was compelled to decline a eumpitanoe with tli request.
