Kent explained that he knew Gallin ger as a physician, abd that bis visit abroad was Tor bis health, The report further says: ‘English criminal jurisprudence does not permit an accused person to testify in bis own behalf. The fact that Curtin was a naturalized citizen of the United States was not made known in apy Way at the trial of the case, The committee have been furnished with the orig- inal certificate Of naturalization of Kent (or Cur- Un), confirming his statement to the United States consul-general as to his citizenship. ‘The committee bave also had placed in their hands properly executed affidavits corroborating his statements as to the circumstances under which he became acquainted with Dr. Gallagher, nd to bis DOL having been onnecved with any anization of dynainiters or Fenians. "Ene couunittes express their deep sympathy for Kent, They are of opinion that these facts should have been presented at the trial, and that they would ha been presented had not the accused erred in supposing that his American citizenship was known and that this Government Was acting on his bebalf, and that if so presented they might have had grat welght with the jury, LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT.

Specuiation as to who will be Ap- peimted Chief of Engineers, ‘The caso of Gen. Duane’s successor 1s causing considerable speculation among Army officers ‘The question of Col. Parke's claims has brought forth a somewhat similar case which, bis friends claim, may be a sufficient precedent on which to vase his appointment. This is the appotntment of Gen. Baird as tnapector general in 1885. His only rival for the post was Gen. Jones, who was inis senior in rank, but several years younger. Gen, Baird's record was a good one and to enable him to retire with the rank of brigadier general he was given the post. He will retire in a short time and then Gen. Jones will most likely be appointed, re- tring © couple of years later. ‘This case gives some color of reason to the theory that the Presi- dent may appoint Col. Parke in consideration of his seniority of service, thus enabling both Col, Parke and Col. Casey to be placed on the retired Ust as brigadiers. At the samo time the general impression is that CoL Casey will be appointed, ‘His record as an oe poe is an excellent one and itis canes that the President will take the list as it stands and make him chief of engineers.
