The President has passed upon the

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

tary post. The President approved the

the sentence to suspension from rank

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.
