Rosecrans is one of them, and he is also register of the United | States treasury. He told @ Stam re- porter that Gen.

In section 6, it is stated rvou holding any office under the ‘es shall be a member of either house during his continuance in offi ow Gen. Hichiew claims that he does not hold an office; that be simply holds a rank and draws a salary. | uxsee what the law says about that. Section 1256 of the Rovised Statutes eays: “Officers re- tired from active ssrvice shall be entitied to wear the eniform of the rank on which they may be | retired. hey shall continue to be borne the army register, and shall be | subject to the rules and articles of war and to | trials by general court-martial by any breach | thereof.” “Would the law provide for trial by | court-martial of any one not an officer of the United States?” Which means that Gen. Rosecrans is satisfied that Gen Sickles cannot bea member of Con- eres and remain on the retired list of the anny it will be observed that in Gen. Rovecrans’ view the probibition respecting retired army officers extends only to seats in Congress. Gen. | Rosecrans does not think a place on the retired list disqualifies @ person from holding other civil office. He said to the reporter that the United Sta Supreme Court had recently ‘that retired pay was in the nature of a pension that retired officers of the army were not sub- ject to orders from the President unless they expressly volunteered for service. ANOTHER AND DIFFERENT VIEW. Some experts in constitutional law here be- lieve that Gen. Catlin made a mistake in de- who is on the retired list and who sets of York he could not hold | and omitted the names of Moses Johneon and | en « o aseint tes. the | and on the ground that a seat in the House and still retain his position o' the retired list of the regular army. Gen. Oat- lin based his decision on an inion said to have been given by Attorne; ral Miller that he was not cligible tor Con- gress because of is ion on the retired —_ list. This opinion is contrary toa decision of the ‘ork court of appeals, on which Gen. Daniel Sickles bases | his determination not to withdraw from the | race for Congress in spite of the conten- tion that he is not eligible by reason of his rank as a_ retired officer of the army. Mr. Henry H. Smith, | compiler and editor of the “Digest and Manual of the House of Representatives,” whose long ex- perience as journal clerk of the'House of Repre- sentatives has given him familiarity with matters | affecting Congress, savs: “The point made by | Gen. Catlin is not well taken, as the question of | the eligibility of army officers serving in Con- grows been settled, the — House being the Judge of the’ qualifications of "its own members. ‘This very question,” he said. “arose during the war in the cases of Gen. Garfield, Frank Blair, Rous- seau and two or three others elected to seats in the House and was decided in favor of their re tention of their seats, although they held com- missions in the army of the United States at the time. They were in the volunteer army. of course, but the application ix the same as though they were in the regular army.” pshstiver ban. arme THE POLICY CASE. Three Allezed Backers of Policy Are Tried Today in the Police Court. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney this morn- ing filed a new information in the policy case George Bowie. ‘The persons charged were James P. Horbach, Edward King and William Baldwin. The information charged the defend- ants with being backers of the seductive game. District Attorney Cole was in court to conduct the proveeution and Mr. Mullowney was pres- im. Lefore the jury was sworn Mr. Smith made s motion to quash the information, because, he asserted, it charged no offense known to the law. He said he also desired to reserve the right to plead that this court has no jurisdiction in the matter for trial. Judge Miller read the charge set out in the information, and after defining the law, over- ruled the motion, and Mr. Smith noted an ex- ception. A plea of not guilty was entered. THE JURY. The jurors were examined and Juror Denbam said he would be influenced by what he knew of the policy business, although he had not formed or expressed an opinion. He asked to be ex- cused and his request was granted. Ecward F, Huggin was called to fill the va- cancy. ‘The jury as completed was composed of Wm. Pfeil, John F. Javins, Frank Puglizi, Jos. Z, Williams, George Bennett, Henry Cromwell, John H. Busher, Henry B.’Hall, Enoch Beard, W. ¥. Speaney, Edw. F. Huggins and Joseph C. arc THE CASE OPENED. Mr. Mullowney made the opening speech for the government, telling the jury that the men were charged with promoting the game of pol- icy. He expected to show that the marshal’s officers raided rooms in the Evans building, using violence to gain ac- cess to the room. When they entered the room they found King and Baldwin standing neara table, while Mr. Horbach was found crouched beliind a sereen in the corner. He also expected to show that on the table in the room were dozens of policy books while in small coin there was about $120. In what Mr. King said was his private | room he expected to show that there was ink and a rubber stamp ready to use in the policy lottery. Ho further expected to. show ow writers were sent out to gather in the plays, and that the accused were at the table making up the “hit” list. Having shown these facts he would claim a verdict. “Mr. Smith said he understood that counsel would be permitted to go no further in his proof than he had in his opening. Admitting everything; he said to be true, said Mr. Smith, he puts his case out of court. ‘Mr. Closs proceeded to state his side of the case. He produced the warrant which he said was against Horbach and it was sworn out by obert Miller, son of ex-Detective George O. Miller, and it was a warrant to take the man; it vet they not only took | the men charged, but they also took everything | in the rooms that they wanted. “We believe that behind this matters con- spiracy exists and that certain men are acting hind it for no good purpose,” said Mr. Smith. Mr. Clos, continuing, said he would show that Messrs, Price and Joyce, with Geo. C. Mile ler and Mr. Smith of the Post Oftice Depart- ment* went to the residence of Mr. King in the Evans building aud took possession of every- thing in sight, having no warrant for Baldwin. ‘THE FIRST WITNESS. Deputy Marchal Joyce was the first witness called and he described the raid, telling about breaking open the door to get in because those inside refused to open it. Witness said that the three defendants were in the room, where thqre was a table and some other furniture. In dne room there was a bed | and Mr. King said that that was his private | apartment. Books, money and alleged polic paraphernalia found in the room were identi- Ked by witness, A printing press, paper and other articles were produced and ‘witness said he found them ina room of a building corner 9th and E streets, known as “Buzzard’s Roost.” When the raid was made and witness entered the room Messrs. King and Baldwin were standing near the table and Mr. Horbach was found crouched in a corner. “In the room,” said witness, “I also found what 1s known as a lottery or policy wheel, which was boxed up. The wheel was brought in and witness ex- plained how there was a box around it. Mr. Horbach, said witness, claimed ‘that the wheel was his personal property and said that he used it over the river. Witness was questioned about the money and papers found on the table. When the witness was turned over to counsel for the defendants Mr. Closs asked him what | warrants he had when he went to make the| raid, and he replied thathe bad warrants for Horbech and King; he found Baldwin there and arrested him. The warrants were issued by Justice Bundy and they were given to witness by Capt. Leonard of the | shal's office. Witness saw Capt. Cole before the warrants were issued and he told him that the warrants would be issued. d you havea search warrant?” 0, wi vid vou break down the door?” “The door was broken.” Who broke 1 orge O.

In conducting the investigation as to the search counsel was told that the rooms were earched: he did not hear Miller say, “Break epen the trunk if they don’t open them.” Witness didsuot know whether George O. Miller and his son were in the employ of the government or not. Mr. Smith, who went with him, was a post office inspector.

Many People Look Through Smoked Gines at the Sun This Afternoon. At 12:05 o'clock p.m. today the earth, in the course of its flight through space, brought iteelf in @ direct line with the moon and the sun, causing the moon to interpose between a portion of the sun and this terrestral ball, | thereby creating a partial eclipse of the sun. The eclipse was visible at all points on the North American continent except the extreme western projections. It was also visible from the West India Islands, from that portion of South America lying immediately north of the equator and from the Azores Islands, but not from Euroge or Africa. The eclipse lasted three hours and thirty sec- onds and covered almost three-fifths of the sun's surface. It was the center of interest to every one on the streets di the afternoon \d ‘could be plainly seen with the aid of a small piece of smoked The phenomenon was not of any parkeular astronomical importance, but was watched at all observatories. Prof. Eastman, at the new naval ol tory in this city, observed the eclipse with the aid of one of the smal! instruments. Prof. Eastman made a very satisfactory ob- servation, the atmosphere being in a very good condition, Jow was observed to cross the sun from the top downward and with what might becalled a westerly movement. The principal object of the observation was to note the time of the first and last contact of the shadow. AROUND TOWN. ‘There was no question but that the event at- tracted attention. Even people who, for one reason or another, are unconscious that there is such a thing as a heaven, or in fact anything else except the earth, which it is their absorb- ing desire to possess’ as much of as possible, realized that something or other was bappen- ing way up in the skies. When they were assured, however, that it was not to be permanent and that the crops or the price of of real estate would not be affected they went on their way and allowed others to make astronomical observations with smoked glass. ‘There were quite large number of observers and no doubt there would have been moreif the bootblacks and the street gamins had been generally notified that & partial eclipse would take place today. lowever, there were some boys who man- aged to supply of smoked glass, and they either leased or sold them outright. | All over the city people were observing the spectacle, spectacle, and from the windows of business buildings there could be seen groups watching the progress of the eclipse. As the moon nibbied away on the edge of the sun and increased the size of the crescent the effect was seen on the atmos- phere, which became dull and hazy. ‘This change lead a good many people to in- wuire as to the cause and then they found out at an eclipse was going on. Altogether the movements of the two bodies were witnessed by a large and interested audience in this city, and of course the show gave general satisfac tion. The next performance will be duly an- nounced. — DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, SHOULD BE ATTENDED To. The janitor of the Arthur School has laid be- fore the Commissioners a statement of facts concerning the condition of the basement of that school. He says that during the summer the basement has been flooded with water com- ing through the trap on the north side of the building, and itis his belief that the sewer chokes, backs the water up and forces the filth and foul- smelling contents of the sewer through, the trap. During an unusually hard rain he ‘says he has seen the water boil up to the height of twelve inches or more. The Commissioners ealizing the importance of immediate action in this cuse, referred the matter to the inspector of buildings, who reports today that he personally examined the _ building and finds it in excellent condition. The sewer was not obstructed and no offensive odors exist in the building. If there isa back-up of water in heavy storms he says it is caused by the main sewer in the alley not being sufficient in size. It is understood, however, that the Commistioners will order a further investiga- tion of the premises, WHo OWNS THE TRIANGLE? An interesting problem in regard to subdi- visions of land was recently submitted to the Commissioners for solution. It appears that the house located at the southwest corner of New York avenue and 14th street northwest does not cecupy the entire angie, but leaves a vacant triangular space of eleven feet on 14th street by about ten feet on New York avenue. Mr. Alfred Richards, the owner of the property on which the house is situated, in 1883 made a subdi- vision. which included the space in question. Both thesp spaces are parts of original lot No, 7. Mr. Brooke Mackall, the owner of the remainder of lot No. 7, now asks the Commissioners to approve of a sub- division proposed by him which would include the triangle in question. ‘The situation proved too knotty a one for the Commissioners, and they were obliged, upon advice of their at- torney, to refer the applicant to the courte, whose ‘decision will be awaited by the public as well as the claimant with considerable in- terest. THE WASHINGTON ASYLUM. The report of Intendent Stoutenburgh! of the Washington Asylum was submitted to the Commissioners today. Attention is called to the urgent necessity for larger appropriations for the support of the insti- tation, which | ls rapidly growing. | He says the condition of the male work house not improved over that of last year. The construction of the bath and lavatory rooms nas helped the sanitary condition of the build- ing considerably, but the bud construction, faulty planning and over-crowded condition of the work house still remain, and itis imperative that @ new building, at a’ cost of $75,000, be erected. This building should contain about 300 separate cells and be constructed 40 that wings could be added without spoiling the exterior of the building. The pr-sent building can then be used as an overflow alms house, and the old col- ored women now kept on the top floor could be comfortably and safely cared for. The alms house isin fair condition. excopt plumbing and bath arrangements, which should be renewed. During the year four gangs of the male pris- oners have been employed in grading streets. ‘The total amount earned by convict labor of all kinds aggregated $41,778. In order to make this branch of the institu- tion more perfect Mr. Stontenburgh says it is necessary to increase the number of guards. Ina recapitulation showing the credits due the institution for labor ‘and material the iteme aggregating $45,862.72 are mentioned. A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT OPINION. An interesting and important opinion has been rendered by the assistant attorney for the District, Mr. 8. T. Thomas, in relation to spe- cial assessments, Some time ago upon the recommendation of the engineer depart- ment the Commissioners ordered certain im- provements to be made under the provisions of the compulsory permit system, which, as is known, provide that one-half of the cost be sessed against the abutting property, the other half being paid by the District, One feature of the work was for dressing and resetting old curb. After the work had been completed special assessments were issued against the prop- erty, (sa, te customary. | One of ee rotested against ‘aseessment, i Feasons on the fact that ‘his wae not a proper case under the provisions of the compulsory bake So the Kare. yk di Mr. oe fora legal opinion, and today he returned pers ‘with the recommendation that the assedmaent be canceled. cai He says that according to the records of the ® ‘assessment division no new curbing was laid in front of the premises which forms the subject of the discussion, and that all that done was the and —, of curbing. As this was not now curb within me the law he regards the assessment, it on the resetting of old curb, as void. A HOLIDAY AT THE DISTRICT BUILDING.

Ladies who object to being promiscuously squeezed, gentlemen whose toes are tender or whose ribs are not elbow-proof and children who now look forward to long and happy lives would’ do well—more than well—to remain away, fer away, from the vicinity of field) maneuvers of the District National Guard, which will take place tomorrow over that stretch of country between the New York avénue station of the B. and 0., the Brentwood road and Central and Montana ave- nues. When the program for the day wasmapped out no one imagined that the general public would be more than casually interested in the affair, but it is now very evident that thousands of Washingtonians have made up their minds to witness as much as sible of the evolution: Where they will stand to see the proceedings is more than any one can tell; balloons at an elevation of about one hundred feet would be ee but there are no balloons avail- able. Tos Star reporter who asked Gen. Ordway for information on the interesting subject the general said: ‘No one could regret more sin- roe t than I do the fact that the public will euvers. It was not my intention to provide aspectacle and I never supposed that as many asa hundred people would care to witness our drill—for that is what it really is. The object aimed at was to teach every nian in the brigade the usefulness of certain movements that could not easily be under- stood unless the commands were in the field and using blank cartridge. To make the lesson complete it was necessary that the ground used should be such as would give the required conditions, and this has been secured. That there is no place from which a multitude of spectators can view the operations is, as stated, matter for regret.
