THE PRESIDENTS REVIEW OF HIS OFFENSE— NECESSITY OF SUBORDINATION IN THE ARMY. The President this morning approved the sentence of the court-martial, which sentenced Gen. Wm. B. Hazen, chief signal officer, to be reprimanded for publicly and officially eriticis- ing the Secretary of War, and in carrying out the sentence of the court,issued the following: “The proceedings, findings and sentence in the foregoing case of Brig. Gen, Wm, B. , chief signal officer, U.S, army, are ‘hereby ap- Proved. In giving effect to the sentence of the court-martial it is to be observed that the more exalted the rank held by an officer of the army fhegreuter ts the responsibility resting upon him to afford, through his own subordination to hils superior officers,an example for all others who may be of interior rank in the service. To an officer of fine sensibilities the mere fact of being brought to trial before a court-mar- tial “must be in {tself a mortification and punishment. In the foregoing case the accused, whose high rank and long experience in the service, should have pepited hin with a full realization of that respect for constituted authority which 1s es sential to military discipline has been adjudged guilty of indulging in unwarranted and cap- tious criticism of his superior officer, the Secre- tary of War, thereby setting a pernicious ex- ample, subversive of discipline and the inter- ests of the service. Subordination is necessar- ily the primal duty ofa soldier, whatever his grade may be. In losing sight of this rincipie the accused has brought upon himself the con- demnation of his brother officers who ex- amined the charges against him and seriously impaired his own honorable record of previous: conduct. It is to be hoped that the lesson will not be forgotten. Gen. Hazen will be released from arrest and assume the duties of his office.” (Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND, Society. The wife of Justice Field gave a tea yesterday from 4 to 7 o% lock, which brought together an unusually large number of well, known society people, and muny persons besides, who do not usually make the rounds of fashionable enter- talnments. ‘The spacious and elegant apart- ments of the hospitable mansion were hand- somely decorated with flowers and other choice appointments, and everything which taste and liberality can accomplish was done to make the occasion a memorably elegant and pleasant one. The Literary Society will meet to-morrow evening at the residence of Mr. John Jay Knox, on 10th street.

THEIR INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT. A delegation of colored men from ‘Virginia Waited upon the President to-day to present a petition asking him to appoint men topositions in Virginia who would not use their offices for political purposes and endeavor to grind the colored people down and keep them in political slavery. They represented that the federal fronage of the "state had. heretofore ‘been used by machine politicians, and that what they wanted was that men be appointed now who would be above mean political tricke ery and oppression. The President received them very cordially and with what they. said. They came away delighted with the re- sult of their interview. The delegation con- sisted of J.B. Syphax, Alexandria county; Henry Cox, Powhatan county; John E. Smith, W. E. Reead, Charlotte county; Edward Dave: rt, Richmond city; D. A. Eliett, M. D., Eliza- in City county; Loyd W.

THE PRESIDENT ADVISED TO APPOINT A MARY- LAND LAWYER, A well-known business man of Washington, ina talk with the President to-day, suggested that he turn a deaf ear to the applications for appointment to the District judgeship which come from Virginia, but that he select one of the Maryland applicants, in view of the fact that all our laws are of Maryland origin, and a. Maryland lawyer would, on that account, be much better fitted to dispense justice to ‘the satisfaction of the people.

HE THINKS THAT THE DISSATISFIED POLITI- . CIANS ARE DEAD DUCKS. “There is considerable printed just now about the dissatisfaction existing in the democratic party with President Cleveland,” remarked a Prominent department official recently ap- pointed. “From what I hear I think that such dissatisfaction exists. It is the talk of the hotel and of the groups of politicians who are apt, In lieu of something more exciting, to de- fing @ program which the President should follow. Mr. Cleveland, however, has disap- pointed all ‘predictions of this character, and pursued a course which isnot according tO the rules and regulations of modern polities. The consequence is that evil consequences are pre- dicted and the ruin and defeat of the democrat- ic party anticipated. But it is just as well to consider who these prophets of evil are before attaching any great fnportance to what they say. For the most part they are played out oliticlans and members of Congress who have een left by their constituents. Having lost the support of their people at home, they want the general government to take care of them. The President has refused to do this, and they vow vengeance. They say that the Président will hear from thecountry when they gohomeand tell taelr people howthey have been treated. The possibility of the people not tak- ing much interest In their individual fortunes does not seem to be considered. I think, Judg- tug from what I know of the temper di the people in my district In regard to retired politi- cians, that ‘they will answer such complaints by saying, ‘You have been in office for some years, enjoying the salary and the emoluments, don't’ you think that some one else ought to have & show?’ That will be the answer of the People, in my opinion, A dead politician in’ America is beyond the help of a galvanic bat- tery when it comes to a question of resurrec- tion. He is dead sure enough, as they say in the south, “While discarding the dead timber,” con- tinued the speaker, “the President in making his appointments ‘has surprised every one by the excellence of his selections. He has found new men and good men, and the country gen- erally can find no fault with them. He has made no mistakes so far, and if he continues the opposition which might be engendered by the disappointments of the regular politicians will find no opportunity for crystallizing. He Will keep not only the democratic party to- gether, but gather in the independents, and the Party Will grow in strength as this administra ion carries out its policy. “I know that there are dire threatenings and rumors of war.” concluded the office-holder; “but I venture the statement that the President ‘will come out abead because he will have the country with him.” Almest a Riot. 4 STREET APFRAY—THE POLICE "RESERVES CALLED OUT. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a num- ber of white and colored men and colored women engaged in a fight at the corner of 4th and O streets northwest, during which bricks and other missiles were freely used. A large crowd soon filled the street in the vicinity of the fight; the reserves were called out from the sixth, fifth, secohd and seventh precincts, and ‘on the representation of several gentlemen that ariot was imminent, word was sent to police headquarters, and within afew minutes there was a prompt arrival of more reserves, and the exeltement was, soon, quelled and further trouble prevented. Wm. Wiber, a white man, was struck on the head with a brick during thé disturbance and so seriously injured that he had to be sent to the Freedman's hospital in the police ambulance, Sarah Curtis, James Curtis and Martin Kitz- miller were arrested and charged in the Police Court this morning with affray. Sarah Curtis was also charged with assauliing William Wivel by striking him with a brick while she was attempting to defend her husband. The cases were continued for one week. Prosecuting Attorney Thomas stated the case to the court and asked that in the case of Sarah Curtis the bond be fixed at $300. ‘Mr. Moss, who appeared for Sarah, asked that she and her husband be permitted’ to go home on a small collateral ers had, and was pro- ceeding to outline his defense when the court told hitn that he had better wait untll the case is tiled to make his argument, and that he would not at this time hear it. Bail was fixed at $200 in Sarah's case and $100 in her husband's case, THE IRREPRESSIBLE ATTORNEY FINED $5. Mr. Moss again interrupted the court, and persisted in arguing his case when the judge told him to sit down, Mr. Moss refused to sit down, but kept on his argument, saying that thes attorneys were all more latitude than others. “Mr, Moss, sit down, or I'll fine you,” sald the ndge.

He sug- gested that to avoid war England shonld build the railway from Merv to the Persian if, and to allow Russia to use it on fixed conditions,thus satisfying Russia, who could avoid the neces- sity of providing the necessary capital, increase her trade, and at the same time give ‘England @ good investment for her mon: Penjdeh Not Worth Fighting For.
