To the Editor of Tux EVENING Star: There is a curious error in the statement con- tained in to-day’s Star that the President can get rid of Judge Advocate General Swaim by securing the confirmation of a successor. The power which the President has of dismissing an officer without trial in time of war is taken away from him in time of peace by statute law. The fact that Gen. Swaim does not exercise t! functions or draw the full salary of his office mal firmed and commissioned judge advocate- «him none the less the duly con- eneral of the army, and no one can * nominated, confirmed and commissioned his place until he is first out of service. its cause, thus: I nominate * * *, ice Swaim, retired, deceased, Promoted, dis- missed, resigned, as the case may be. He could in this case give no cause whatever. Could he, in the manner stated by you, force an officer out of service, the law prohibiti dismissal without trial by court-martial would be nullified, APPOINTMENT. January 10, 1889, Relative to this question a Stan reporter to- day asked the opinions of several army o} cers, dove a little into legal lore, and tried. to learn the state of the law as to the power of | the President to remove an officer by appoint- ing his successor. It is the universal opinion among army men, itseems, that this power, existe, and they have good grounds for, their belief. The Supreme Court “the President has the power to supersede or remove an officer of the Army by the appoint- | ment, with the consent of the Senate, of his successor,” and that it was not the purpose of chapter 176, par. 5, 1866. to withdraw that power. This is undoubtedly the law to which “appointment” has reference in his communication, For this decision see Blake va.

Madam di Murska’s Charges. ‘New York Special to the Balt, American, Jan, 11. At the Austrian consulate in this city great excitement prevails over the charges which Madam Lima di Murska, the once famous singer, who hay returned to Vienna, is preferring just now against the representatives of the empire in this country. The latest official government organ in Vienna, the Month’s Reoue, published aletter of Madam di Murska’s, in which the Austrian ambassador in Washington, Chevalier de Tavera, and the New York consul, Baron Hugo von Fritsch, are accused of having shame- fully neglected to interfere in her behalf, al- though she was a subject of the Austrian em- pire. and had appealed to them, as the proper authorities, for help. Madam di Murska said that the American public was influenced against her, and that, in consequence of that, her last tour was a failure. The deception weighed so heavily on her that she fell dangerously ill, De void of all means, she called ou the repre- sentative of her beloved sovereign in this coun- try an the proper to assist her in those dire days, but all her eff she says she would have dicd in the street if it had not been for the Austrian consul, Baron Hugo von Fritsch to-day denied the statement of the singer in vigorous terms, forts were in vain, and WHAT THE AUSTRIAN MINISTER SAYS. This morning a Star reporter called on Chevalier Schmit von Tavera, the Austrian minister, and showed him the above. “There is very little truth in that statement,” he anid. “I was in Enrope all last summer, and I know of no appeal that has been made to our office in this city. I am acquainted with her case, however, and know personally that she re: ceived quite a sum of money from the Austrian representative in New York city.” x CAPTAIN SMITH.AND A CREW OF TWENTY-ONE SAIL | STAR: ‘WASHINGTON; D.
