WHY THEY DO NOT CONFLICT WITH THR FINDINGS OF THE PROTEUS COURT OF INQUIRY OR REFLECT ON ‘THE PRESIDENT—GARLINGTON’S ALLEGED INHUMAN CARELESSNES3. “There seems to be @ concerted effort in some quarters to have the charges which I have pre- ferred against Lieut, Garlington entirely tgnored,” sald Gen. Hazen toa Star reporter to-day, “and I how see,” he continued, “that it 1s claimed that in making the charges I have cast a reflec tion upon the course of the President on the ground that the Proteus court of in- quiry was ordered by nim, and that he ap- Proved the report of the court, which was in effect that no further action was necessary. Now, I will state that before preferring those charges against Lieut. Garlington took particular pains to see that I was not precluded from making them by, the proceedings of the Proteus court of in- quiry. ‘The charges against Lieutenant Garlington sre for a violation of orders, and that as a conse- quence of such violation 14 enlisted men and 2 coin- missioned overs of the army perished from star- vation. No such charges were considered by the Proteus court, the Jurisdiction of which was lim!t- ed to an inquiry into the failure of the Proteus re- Nef expedition, and whether the conduct of any ofticer called (6r further proceedings before a court martial. ‘The charges against Garlington, which are included in 15 pages, and Not. 80, a3 stated, are based upon facts ot in evidence before the Proteus court, many of which transpired atter the date of its fin Many were elther not dis- closed before the court of inquiry, not being at- tainble, or, belng within the knowledge of wit hesses, Were suppressed or misstated. ‘The in Gubitable proof which Ihave was not in any de- gree considered by the Proteus court.” “What is that proof?” asked the reporter. “Why I have but to refer you to the statements in my report and the annex submitted subse- quently,” was the reply “to show that had Lieut. Garlingion and Commander Wildes possessed the feelings of common humanity or been actuated by the perseverance or energy characteristic of officers of the army and navy,all of the Greely party would have been alive to-day. Lieut. Greely's letter to me when death was staring him in the face, show- ing hat had Garlington inspected & cer- tain “cache near .

Had Garlington left at Cape Sabine two-thirds of the stores saved from the Proteus, instead of one-fourth, which tn- considerable amount was left, I suppose, only be- ‘cause 1c Was inaccessible, being five miles off, all of the Greely party would be alive. He might’ have left all of those stores and trusted to the provisions in the cache at Corey islands, only a short distance off, and which he had himselt only a tew days before. ‘Then he might have killed ton of walrus and hidden it in the snow with Dut littie trouble.

I must say thatI have been treated very considerately since I have been here, and have not been over- whelmed with questions that it was known before- hand I could not answer. I spent nearly the wh day yesterday looking about, and recelved a most favorabie Impression of Washington, ‘The office of the private secretary at the White House, which I presume I will occupy, struck me as being an un- usually, picasa room, with plenty of air and room, and @ magnificent view.” WHEN THE PRESIDENT-ELECT WILL COME TO WASE- INGTOX, In answer to @ question of the reporter he sald: “Mr. Cleveland has not yet fixed a day when he will come to Washington, but I am pretty sure that he will not arrive until within a very few days of the lnauguration. I know he felt as if a great load had been lifted from his shoulders when his resig- nation as governor took effect, for you know tie last week of his administration was an unusually onerous and busy one, He now has tine to attend to the future.” aM Lamont naturally declined to state if he es y of the intentions of Gov.

It does not strike the Commissioners that way now, The manner in which this bill pro- gressed as far as it did last session of Co! throws a cloud over it. Bills or resolutions which concern the District of Columbia, no matter how small an Srpenalaire involve have heretoiore been invariably sent down to the Commisstoners for examination and report; but here is a bill par- Ually acted upon, involving an increased indebt- edaess to the District of over $6,000,000, which was ‘sought to be dragooned through without any refer- ence to the District Commissioners, Maybe these gentlemen will be able to convince us of the pro- riety of such methods, but it 1s doubtful How- ever, it 1s right that all gldes should be heard.” WHY THERE ARK LARGE AKREARAGES OF TAXES. ‘The chief reason for the |: amount of arrear- ages of taxes in this District is believed to be the fact that tax titles are so worthless that scarcely any one, unless interested In the property, will bid at the sales.
