An Adjournment Until To-morrow at the Request of the Accused Officer. The only marine left In Washington stood guard over room 32,on the basement floor of the Navy department, today. Inside the room the naval court appointed to try Medical Direc tor Philip 8. Wales was in session. The court met at 12 o'clock, and haif an hour was occu- pied in reading the record of their last session, held a month ago, ‘The Judge advocate announced that Mr, Blair, assistant attorney for the Department of Jus- tice, had been designated to assist the prosecu- tlon. A motion was then made by the defense that the Secretary be asked to suspend the rule re- quiring all motions to be made in writing, so as to allow oral motions, &c. The court directed that the request be made of the Secretary, Judge Wilson, one of the counsel for the ac- cused, then rose and announced that the coun- sel for the defense had applied fora writ of habeas corpus, raising the question of powers of the court; that the case had been dismissed by the court this morning without a decision, and that it was the purpose of the defense to carry It up to the Supreme Court. They expected, stated, to present the question to the Supreme Court ‘to-morrow or next day,and he asked that no further proceedings be had by the court-martial untif the question was decided: ‘The Judge advocate replied that he had ‘no knowiedge (official) of the proceedings in the District Court, but that he had no objection to an adjournment until to-morrow. ‘The conrt was then cleared to consider the question, ‘The court was reopened at twenty minutes Past one o'clock and adjourned until two clock to-morrow to awaita reply from the Seoretary of the Navy to the Tmotlon of the ac- e ‘THE CHARGES AND SPECIFICATIONS in this case are voluminous, The first charge of “culpable inefficiency in the performance of duty” embodies sixty-three specifications, each having reference to a particular voucher bear- ing the written endorsement and approval of Surgeon Gen. Wales. Itis set forth, in sub- stantially the same terms in each case, that the particular voucher referred to was fraudulent, and that by reason of the omission of the ac~ cused to exercise such care and diligence as to see that all bills approved by him should be for articles actually purchased and delivered for the use of the United States, he wasculpably in- efficient in the performance of this duty. The second charge, that of “neglect of duty,” contains but one specification, which in brief sets forth that the accused, well knowing that it was his duty to carefully’ supervise the busi ness operations of his bureau and to scrutinize its records, did, nevertheless, neglect his duty to the great scandal, disgrace and injury of the service and to the loss and damage of the United States to a large amount, to wit, the loss of $50,000 and upwards, —— The Wales Habeas Corpus Case. THE COURT IN GENERAL TERM DISMISSES THE Weir, This morning, in the Court in General Term, Judge James announced the decision of the court dismissing the writ in the habeas corpus case of Dr. P. S. Wales, ex-Surgeon General and €x-chief of the bureau of medicine and surgery, Navy department, in which he sought to be re- lieved from the custody of the Secretary of the Navy. The case was argued last Saturday by Messrs. Jere Wilson end F. P. B, Sands for the petitioner, and Lieut. Lemly, of the navy, and Mr. Blair, Assistant Attorney General, for the respondent. Judge Jumessaid that the Secretary of the Navy issued an order to Dr. Wales for his trial by court martial, in which were the word “Yon will consider yourself under arrest, and Will confine yourself to the limits of the elty of Washington.” The Secretary makes return, and It ippears that the restraint 1s exercised under this order. ‘The question is whether the restraint 1s of the kind contemplated under this writ. It was shown by the regulations of the navy that the restraint was not of the kind which the writ would relieve. The order fs that he confine himself, and he is therefore free ex- cept so faras he chooses to obey a military or- der. In short, it was shown ne Dr. Wales’ tition that he fs not under that kind of restraint from which the writ would deliver him, This being so it was unnecessary for the court, to go farther, and they therefore gave no opinion as tothe validity of the order. If Dr. Wales was deprived of his liberty by the court martial the question might then come up. With this view saree ee yy the court the petition is dis- ainissed. Judge Wyllie said it was clear that no action for false imprisonment would lie in such a case, and in the case of Dr. Wales the writ would not relieve. The appearance of physical force is necessary to constitute Imprisonment, and moral force is not sufficient.

The Minos demoerats are trying to get Cleveland to remove “Long” Jones, the mar- shal at Chicago, before the senatorial contest is settled. They wanted the removal made before the local election took place, but failed in that, A Congressman-lect waited upon the Presi- dent and told him that Jones had been away from his Lie at Cate for nine weeks, at Springfield, working to elect a. republican Sen- flor and doing all in, his power to hurt Morrie son, and declared that popular sentiment de- mahded his removal ‘at once. Morrison's friends say that Jones is using his official posi- tion to the injury of the great tariff reformer, and are very much annoyed at the President's allowing hin to retain his power. They charge that he has prostituted his office for political pur- poses ever since he has held it, and think there can be no excuse for his retention. The Presi- dent, it is understood, does not look at the thing justas they do. fo intends to appoint a ‘inan and a good democrat in the place of Sones, butdoes not see the necessity ofmaking the change with reference to the senatorial contest. He has no doubt that the matter ought to be looked into, but he has not had time to con- sider it proper! , and he does not comprehend the necessity of making a sudden change with- out consideration. His idea seems to be to ignore political reasons for the removal and to consider it from a business standpoint only, Mr. Jones’ term expires about the middie of May. ‘They (the Illinois democrats) want all the postmasters in the state changed as soon as base ible, too.

He said to’a Star reporter that this appoint- ment had come so suddenly that he did not know yet just what he would do. _Hesupposed that some arrangement would be made to fill his place at the High school corresponding to that under which he was holding the office of superintendent. It would require a little of his time to arrange matters at the High school be- fore he could give himself up entirely to his new duties. He had no schemes, he said, to try, and thought the work required of the'su- perintendent during the last quarter of the ear was chiefly ofa routine character. He ad no ambition or hope, he said, in response to a question of THE Stak reporter, to have the present. temporary appointment made perma- nent. He was very much attached tothe High gehool, and would very much regret having to leave The selection was a surprise to Mr. Paul, as, will beseen by his letter of acceptance, Com- missioner West stated this morning to a Stan reporter that the Commissioners Knew of his capacity as a teacher and executive officer from their own observations of his course. and he thought no one could say aught against the choice. “The fact 1s,” said the general, “this elty ts not a center from which to select am of the pecullar abilities fitting him for a instructor and a full knowledgement of school wants and requirements.

Mr. Paul show such capacity as is needed in this Distriet, he might be continued as superinten- ent.” The following Is a copy of Mr. Paul's letter of acceptance: “HIGH Scioor, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14, 1885. To the Honorable Cummissioners uf the District of Columbia: GENTLEMEN: Your communication of the 18th inst, notifying me that Iam temporarily pppointed euperintendent of the public schools in the District of Columbia has been received, Thanking you for the honor thus conferred, which comés entirely without my asking. I ac” cept the position,—deeply sensible of its re- Sponsibilities, but resolved to give my best en- avors to the faithful discharge of its duties. Very respectfully, (Signed) EpWArD A. Pavn, Principal” Mr. West said that a superintendent was needed who possessed the dual character of a good educator and a good administrative of ficer. They wanted a man who could be en- trusied with the management of the financial affairs of the schools, as well as of their educa- Uonal interests—a man who Would not ask for more than was needed, and would get all the material or service he paid for. If they paid for service in the schools they did not want the service rendered by substitutes, If a person Was pald $1,000 for teaching, they expected to get $1,000 ‘worth of service. They wanted a superinitendent who could tell good service when he saw it, an good broom when it was paid for. A great trouble with theschool management had been, he said, that the gentlemen in charge had asked for everything in sight. The Commissioners’ estimates, however, had to pass the scrutiny of the “Treasury department and of the congressional committees, and some food reason had to be given in ‘every case fore money, would be ‘appropriated. “Wo have not had time tothink of that,” he said, when again asked if there was any person whom the Commissioners had in mind for the office of superintendent. “There is too much to do in the schools—too much to attend to that ought to have beemattended 9 during the last few months.” SECRETARY RREEM OF TRE SCHOOL BOARD EE- IGNS.

JUDGE MAC ARTHUR'S CHARGE TO THE JURY IN THE SULLIVAN CASE. This morning, in the Criminal Court, the trial of John Sullivan, charged with manslaughter in causing the death of M. J. Riley in the col- lision on the Y of the B. and ©. railroad on July 12th, 1884, was resumed, and Judge MacAr- thur charged the jury, whoretired at 10:37 with the case, After reviewing the evidence, the court sald that the conduct of the company had been crit- Icised by the defense and the grand Jury. The tower at the time was not high enough for the flagman to see, and Sullivan was required in his duties to go from polnt to point to see the signals, and there was but one track. There ‘was certainly looseness in the management of so important a pleceof mechanism. If thecom- pany was on trial it would have been proper to discuss this condition of things, and he would not say that the defense had done wrong in dis- cussing ft. ‘The defendant was, however, aware of the whole situation, and the carelessness of the company would not excuse the carelessness ofthe defendant, The company may be liable, and If 80, should not escape. ‘The question for the Jury’ was as to the guilt of the defendant. Ir they were satisfied with his explanation, they should acquit, otherwise find a verdict of guilty. A VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY. The Jury atone o'clock returned a verdict of “not guilty,” and Sullivan was discharged. There were three ballots taken, standing 9 to 3, and then entering into argument at 12:35 a vote resulted in twelve ballots being cast marked “not guilty.” ‘The Collapse of the Tarnbull Case. ‘From the Providence Journal, April 11.
