Hazen’s formal charges against Assistant Adjutant General McKeever are accompanied by a letter to Col. M.V. Sheridan, in reply to the opinion of the lieutenant general, expressed through Col. Sheridan, that there was nothing in the informat charges against Gen. McKeever warranting his trial by court-martial In this note Gen. Haz-n Says that he cheerfully yields to Gen. Sheridan's wishes, but that “such publicity has been ziven to Uhe subject it 13 but Just to Lieut. Col. McKeever that [now make the charges formal, that he may have an opportunity, if it fs thought best to refer them to him, to withdraw his objectionabie state- ments, with any reparation or explanation he may see fit tomake.” Gen. Hazen disclaims any- ‘thing personal to himself in what he(Gen. NicKeever) did, but it seemed a plain, simple duty,ailke to men of ny command so carelessly wronged, to a due re- | gard for discipline and a proper sense of what should actuate an omcer of the army that official notice be taken of his actions.” Gen. Hacen then: Telates in detail as a ground for the charges the ob- | Jectionabee remarks regarding Lieut. Greely’s mis- | Management of the expedition and the action of the | Signal omice in mutllauing the records to pre- | Vent the public from learning unwelcome facts, | Which were published in interviews with an army officer in the evening papers last Sepiember. Upon inqutring at irmy headquarters to-day a Stak reporter was tnformed that Gen. Sheridan de- sired to say nothing regarding the matter. NO OFFICIAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN, ‘There is every reason to believe, as stated in THE Stax some days ago, that no official action will be taken In regard to thess charges, but that the matter will be dropped. Tae SraR reporter learned that the charges were not. referred to Gen. McKeever for retraction or explanation of remarks alleged to have been made by him, as requested by G n. Hazen, butit is understood that the charges were referréd beck to Gen. ‘Hazen without. action, it being the desire of the War departinent to drop the whole matter. % Gen. The Plucked Army Cadets.

THE GRANT BILL PASSES THE SENATE |MISSING ELECTORAL RETURNS. FRENCH SPOLIATIONS BILL IN THE HOUSE, ‘The Senate. MISSING ELECTORAL RETURNS, ‘Mr. Allison, from the committee un appropria- tions, pursuant to the recommendation of the President, reported a Dill, which was read three Umes and passed, providing for compensation and expenses of special electoral messengers to be sent to Jowa and Oregon for the returns of the late pres- {dential elections in those states. ‘Mr. Cockrell asked why such a Dill was neces- sary. Mr. Allison said the returns were not here, and the laws required that in such case a messenger should be sent ‘Mr, Cockrell suggested that a copy of the laws be sent to Iowa and Oregon, instead of messengers at great expense, Mr. Dolph explained that the snow blockade on the Northern Pacific was partially responsible tor the failure to receive the Oregon returns, The copy Sent by messenger had been received. ‘THE BILL TO RETIRE ORN. GRANT. Mr. Edmunds (calling Mr. Frye to the chair) took the floor and called up the bill yesterday offered by hin providing that the President may appoint to the retired list one person wiio has occtipied the po- sition of general commanding any of Uie armies of the Unitea States or general-in-chief of the United States army. He moved to amend it by adding, “with the rank and full pay of such general or gen- eral-In-clitef, ag the case may be.” ‘The ainendment was agreed to. ‘Mr. Cockrell desired to record his vote the Ui. not knowing whether the Yeas an would be called on it. ‘The retired st was not the Place for private citizens, It had been created for omcers who, being still in the service, had been rendered uniit for duty. 'There was neither Justice nor propriety in placing private citizens on such @ Uist. Gen, Grant was now enjoying the recetpt of $15,000 year, which was enough for the support of any American citizen, Mr. Edmunds agreed with that as a general principle, Dut he thought Gen. Grant oughé to be made an exception. ME. MAXEY EULOGIZES GEN. GRANT. Mr. Maxey favored the bil. He reviewed the misfortunes that had overtaken Gen. Grant. Asa southern man and a southern soldier he recognized and admitted the fact that when the supreme hour came and the south surrendered no man ever acted with more magnanimity towants the defeated than did Gen. Grant, Mr. Maxey held Gen. Grant blame- less for the failure of Grant & Ward, except that ‘Grant, as he usually did, put too much faith in Others. He would vote for the Dill. Mr. Gibson expressed» a high opinion of Gen. Grant and his militury character. He believed 1t to be itis duty asa Seuator trom Loulstana to vote for the biiL “He would in that way reflect the een- Ument of his state, e declared himself in favor of the bill. the people of this country wanted to bestow this testimonial upon Gen. Grant, and he Would vote for it. Mr. Jonas sald that two years ago he voted agalust a bill for the same purpose, but he said then that if ever the tim: came when Grant needed aid. he would vote to give it to him. Mr. Jones (Fla.) called attention to the fact that he was one of several democratic Senators who Voted for tiie Grant retirement bill two years ago. He thought he did right then, and he would do Fight to vote again for the blll, * r, Voorhees referred to Gen. Grant’s pecuniary lossrs, and expressed himself as pleased to vote for the bill. He spoke of Gen. Grant’s courage in time of war and tn time of peace. When Secrevary Stan- ton wanted to imprison Gen. Lee after the surren- der at Appomattox Gen. Grant sald Lee was his aroled prisoner, and not a hairot is head should uc! ainst nays THE BILL PASSED. ‘The bill was passed after a very short debate— yeas 49, nays 9. Mr. Edmunds spoke strongly and feelingly in favor of the bill. Among the democrats Messrs. Maxey, Voorhees, George, Gibson and Jonas spoke also ip favor. ‘The Senators who voted nay were Messrs. Beck, Cockrell, Coke, Harris, Pendleton, Saulsbury, Sia- ‘Vance and Walker. ‘THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED. ‘The Senate, upon motion of Mr. Hale, took up the naval appropriation bill. The Senate appro- Plat committee’s amendments were concurred , and the bul was passed. The Senate then took up the inter-state com- merce Dill. mended to be allowed to continue under certain conditions, seven turned back to lower classes ‘and five recommenied for discharge. In the fourth class (the lowest) twenty-five are found deficient, of whom twenty-four are recommended for dis: charge. No recommendation is made regarding the remaining one, Cadet Zarala, whois in the academy wider pecullar circumstances, recelvin; Instruction in pursuance of an act of Congress, an ‘who could not be assigned to duty as an officer in any case. “The nuinber recommended for dis- charge in the fourth class seem3 unusualty lange,” sald the Secretary, “but in previous years it was customary for maiy cadets Of that ciass to resign, knowing thelr deficiency, and only the remaining number would then appear at the January exain- {nation as being deficient. Of the present cla only one tendered his resignation, as undera new Practice a cadet resigning under such circum- stances fs required to pss an examination, 80 that the number found defictent at the January exam- §natton tneludes those who under previous customs would have resigned. fn fact the number recom- mended for dischange 1s not $0 large as tne number in previous years really deficlent, about halt of whom were allowed to escape notice of the fact by Tesignation.” ~ ————— The Sherman-Davis Matter. ‘THE VOTE IN THE SENATE A SURPRISE. The vote in the Senate yesterday on the Hawley Tesolution, mentioned in THE Stax, Was a general House of Representatives, MISSING ELECTORAL CERTIFICATES. ‘Mr. Randall (Pa) sent to the cierk’sdesk and had read a letter received from the Secretary of State informing the House that one of the certificates of the electoral vote of Oregon, and one of the certifi- cates of the electoral vote of Iowa, not having Deen received by the President pro tem. of the Sen- ate, t became incumbent on him to send a g messenger to each of those states, as required by law. The Secretary requests that an appropriation De made to pay thé expenses and compens* ‘ions of these messengers. ‘The Soeaker lald betore the House a message froin the President on the same subject. Mr. Randall then introdyced a bill, which was immediately passed, appropriating $1,500 for the compensation and éxpenses of these messengers, (Note —The missing ceruifleates are the dupitcates Tequired to be sent by mall. ‘Thetrnon-receipt. will nov affect the counting of the electoral vote, as certificates have already been recetved from Oregon and Iowa by messenger, but the law under which the Secretary of State has acted is mandatory.} ‘Mr. Mills (Texas) introduced a Dill to create a revenue commission.

Mr. Wells (owa) introduced a bill to refund the Donded debt of the United States at 2% per cent surprise, It was expected that the Senators would | divide on par;y lines, but Instead of that alt but | ten of the demhcrats Voted for it. Senator Bayard | led off with a distiuct “aye,” and Senator Beck re- | Sponded in the same way. While many of the | democrats regarded the resolution as entirely out | Of piace, they did not think tt worth while to carry | on a heated political discussion about It.

It 1 proper that Senator Vance should his Statement, a8 his name had been 80 prowinenuy mentioned {a connection with the con Toversy. ‘The moderts tone of the debate yes- terday was a great, disappointment to the crowds in the galleries, Who had gathered in anticipation of a lively time, cae ‘The Late Schuyler Colfax. PARTICULARS OF HIS SUDDEN DEATH—A BRIRP SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. The following particulars of the death of ex-Vice President Schuyler Colfax tn the Omaha depot at Mankato, Minn., yesterday, as mentioned in 7 Srax last evening, have been recetved by telegraph: Ne arrived at Mankato on the Milwaukee and St Paul raliroad from the east at ten o'clock and uked to the Omaha depot, a distances of three fourths of a «ile, with the thermometer 50 decrees below zero. “He Was posstng through Mankato on a business trip, a3 he has large business urerests in the northwest. On arriving at the Omalia depot he entered the waiting room, set his satchel down, and stepplug over to the window looked out.

After ing out of the window a short time he returned his seat, In a moment the agent and what few passe! ‘Were in the depot were startled ana Riarmed to. see him fall suddenly forward ea ihe floor, and with one or two short gasps he died with- out Saying a word. It 1s supposed that the ex- treme coid, the subsequent heat. and over-exertion caused a s'oppage of the flow of blood to the heart. ‘The Odd Fellows of the city took charge o mains, and they were forwarded to Ind., av 11 o'clock lust night. Mr, Colfax was born In the city of New York on the @2day of March, 1921 His grandfather was the commandant of* Washington's body guard during the revolutionary war.

Under the special order the House proceeded to the consideration of business reported from the committee on foreign affairs. ‘The first Dill considered was the Senate French spollation claim bill.

SENATOR LAMAR KNOWS NOTHING OF IT. A Stan reporter to-day called the attention of Senator Lamar to a publication setting forth that the southern Senators had appointea an advisory board, consisting of himself (Lamar), and Messrs. Harris, Cockrell, Vance and Coke, to advise with President-elect Cleveland in regard to southern appointments, After reading the article Senator .Linar sald: “If there is any such committee I have not only been excluded from its constitations, Dut 1 have not even been apprised of its existence.” WHAT OTHER SENATORS SAY. Senator Coke, when approached on the stbject, sald to THE Srak reporter: “The first I ever heard of this matter was when 1 was informed of the article in the New York World. The whole thing ts a fabrication from innin:stoend, It is without the least particle of foundation,” Senator Harris, another who was mentioned 98 of the advisory Board, sald that he never heard of such a board of anything of the character until his attention Was called to the World article. He added: “There is not a word of truth in it. There is nota Senator mentioned in that article who Would offer to advise the President-elect unless Specially invited to do 80, By the way, I saw another article published tn the Nashville World, aga Was dispatch, stating that a caucus of democratic Senators was held to take some action in the way of advising the President-elect as, to appointments. Now, that was as far from the ith as the other atticie. No such question was thougnt of in the caucus. While I w..s not present myself, I know from others that the caucus related soley to business before us as Senators.” Senator Cockrell also stated that he had never heard of such a committee until the publication Teferred to. Senator Vance sald: “I never heard of the thing untila World correspondent asked me about it, Saying he had printed it. I told him I thought 1¢ would have been better for him to have made the inquiry before printing the article. There 1s not one word of truth tn {t; not a word.” ‘Some of the democratic Senators taukhed at the article stating that a southern advisory board to look after patronage had been appolated, while others expressed indignation. ‘The southern Sena- tors say that such a step as that described 1s about the last thing they would seriously think of. ‘They Maintain that their earnest desire 1s to keep sec- Uonaitsm tn all its forms out of the next admints- tration, and that to appolut a special committee to look atter patronage for the south would be about the most objectionabl> form in which they could resent it. No action of any kind has been taken yy democratic Senators, having the remotest con- nection with any question relating to the next ad- ministration. ——___+0-____ EPIPHANY CHURCH CONSECRATED The Services To-day Conducted by Bishop Paret-Sermon by Hev Dr. Hodges. ‘The Church of the Epiphany was to-day set aside from all secular and worldly purposes and formally consecrated to the worship and glory of God. ‘The church buliding was erected in 1844, énlarged in 1867, and remodeled in 1874, and the debt which has rested upon tt having recently been paid the formal consecration took place. ‘The former rector and the newly-made bishop, Bishop Paret, per- formed tho service of consecration—nis most im- portant act since he entered upon the discharge of the duties of his office. ‘The clergy, comprising all ‘the rectors of parishes in this District, met in the Sunday school room, in,the rear of the church, ‘where they robed. Athalf-past ten the procession moved to the main entrance of the chureh, where AL was met by the wardens and vestrymen of the church. The line of clergy ‘and the bishop passed through, and as he en ‘the door he be- an torecite the 2th psalm: “The Earth 1s the ae” Ge. ‘The clergy following the bishop as he moved slowly up the main ajsle—the congrepation ising to their feet—repented with the bishop in alternate Verses the words of the psalm. When the procession reached the chancel the bishop went within the rails and seated himself upon his chair, the clergy seating themselves tn the chancel and in the front pews The members of the vestry, who brought up the rear of the mn, also occupied the front pews. Then Mr. Lewis J. Davis and Mr. W. D. Baldwin, wardens of the church, advanced to thechancel, and, standing before the bishop, the ee transferring the church to the care of the Bishop of the diocese was read by Mr. Davis, At- teched to the paper were the names of the war- dens and vestrymen, and upon the conclusion of the re ding it was presented by Mr. Davis to the Bishop, who received it and placed 1t upon the com- munion table. The prayers prescril in the form of the consecration service were then read by the bishop. Then, the bishop sitting in his chair, the sentence of consecration was read by Rev.’ Mr. Leonard, and then laid by him upon the commu- nion table. Rev. Dr. Townsend, then res the ser, ‘Yies for the 7, agsisted by Rev. Mr. le ant Rev. Mr. McKiroy. The bishop then proceeded ‘with the service of consecration, the epistle being Tead by Rev. Mr. Buck. ‘The sermon Was delivered by Rev. Dr. H of Baitimore, who selected as the subject of course the words as recorded in Psalms, 48th chap- ter, 12th and 13th verses, “Mark ye weil her bul- warks, consider her palaces, that ye may tell it to the generation following,” &c. The sermon was a very clear exposition of the subject, and the large congrezation listened to the words of the reverend speaker with deep interest. Upon the conclusion of the sermon the commu- nion of the Lord’s supper was administered, and the services were brought to a close. ‘The music was rendered by the regular choir of the church, and consisted of the selections as indl- cated 1 the prayer-book.
