PROCTOR DISAPPROVES. hought Harrls Will Concur in sretary's Opinion—Nebraska Knights Templar Receive An Ovation, Wasitisaroy Brreav, Tie OMana Bew, 518 For EENTH STREET, } WasniNGToN, D, C., Oct. 6. The famous Omahia court-martial case of Lieutenant Colonel Josnua 8. Floteher, of the Second Infantry, is still troubling the of- ficials here, It was stated in this corre- spondence some time ago that Flotcher was found guilty by the court-martial and sen- tenced to dismissal from the army. The judge advocate genor iewed the case hero and disapproved of the findings of the court-martial. From the judge advosto general it weat to the general of the army who was also given a chance to review it ac- cording to the rules of the service. At firat General Schofield was inclined to sustain the views of the judge advocate general, but after more mature deliberation he coneluded to differ with the judge advocate and ap- proved of toe findings of the court-martinl. He did 50 and sent the documents pertaiing 0 the case to the secretary of war, Secretavy Proctor called his military etary, Col- onel Thomas K. Barr, to his assistance, and together they went over the records of the case and considered it profoundly. Proctor knows very little about tho army and less about courts-martial, so he left the matter entirely to the determination of Colonel Bare. This officer concludod to sustain th view of the case takea by the judge advocate general, and prepared an opinion i the case fo cotavy Proctor. The secretary ap- proved the view of the matter taken by Col- onel Barr, and adopted Barr's opinion as his own, The case was then referred to the president, in wuose hands it is at pr be judgs-advocate general and tho tary of war have disapprovod of tho findings of the eoart-martial which sontenced Colonel Fletcher to dismissal from the army. Major General Schofiid, the general in command of the army, approved the findings of the court-martial, and thus the matter stands at present. It is thonght the president will sus- tain the views on tho mattor taken by the secretary of warand the judge udvocato gen- eral, and that Colonel Pletcher will - escape froul the net woven around him by hissubor- dinate ofticers at Fort Omaha. THE KNIGHTS TEMPTAR For oue week now Washington will be given up to the Knights Templar, Thoy have already taken possession of the city. Thoir banners, bunting and tlags eve where proclarn that polities have been ated to the rear. With the impending cam- paiens in New York, Obio, Virginia and other states few men from congress will be nere during the week, and there will be a practical suspension of the operations of the machive which grinds out wppointwents in the executive departments and elsewhere where they may be. A cabinet meeting and routine work at_the white house will pr ceed. It is understood that for six days everything political will give way to the festivitios of the great tricunial conclave. It is refreshing to have the city full of peo- vle from every section of the country now and then, gnd nothing said of politics. Wash- ington is egacntially and naturally a political mart. Politics is king here, like wheat rules at Duluth, hogs at Omaha, cattie at Chicago and cotton at Savannah, 1t is not often that the prime staple of the 325,000 inhabitants of tional capital is_shelved for-a whole und neatral subjects are discussed or festivitios are al- lowed to take possession of the city. Washington never looked so hand- some, with her banners, flazs and buntings, besides her miles of bright colored insignia of the order which prevails, There 1s a hol 1y atmosphere on every hand. People are worally taking a vacation. The decor: tions of the city are prettier than on the occasiony of a_vresidential inauguration, They are more highly colored, richer and aiversified, The sombre black, indicative of chivalrie courage, and the pure white, em- blomutic of genticness, commingle at every step with the deep red cross, the sign of thie sade cra. This is to bo the greatest Kuights Templar conclave ever held. Ihe attendanco promises to be largor and the auspices and surroundings are wore pleasant. ‘ihe full dress of the knigats never made u look so handsome as in Washington, where there there is a natural military at mosphiere. Pennsylvania avenue nover peared to such good advantage. The par on Wednesday will be the most brilliunt scone this great thoroughfare cver pre- sented. The wehther 1s the concern of all to-night. It has been bright and beautifui for somo time tiil to-day when the clouds bocame overcast und rain was the threat. Fually, as evening came on there were litle spits of rain _and lastly a sght regular drizzie. October is usually a bright, dry and pleasaut month in the rogion of the Chesipeale bay, and if this is vot a weok of tine weather it will be the exception, NEBRASKA'S CONTINGENT.

The perfect success of the bilgrimage of the Nebraska delegation is largely due to the erand recorder, Sir William it.

The Nebraska proplé spent the day atteud- ing tho different churehes, A number went to the Church of the Covenant, Nebraska's Knighta are very justly prond of the han lsone reception tondered them by the Demolay commandery of this city. A e relationship hae oxisted botween the Demolay and Mt. Caleary commanderies for sevoral years. It will b remembered by Brp renders that Mt.

Mt Calvary appointed u com- mittea of ten to represcnt Domolay at the funeral obsequios, During the week Mt. Calvary will mako aspecial floral tribute to present to Demolay in recognition of its courtesies on their entrance into Washing ton. It will bo a fac-simile ot Mt. Calvary's bauner, which is the fitest in the United tos. The Nebraska Krnights attracted more attention on the road to Washington than the representatives of any other state. The long banner extending from one end of the train to tho uther was a great curiosity and brought forth admiration at overy stop, MILLS, OF TIE DEMOCRATS, Hon. Roger Q.

The charge was proven, but the jury did not want to send him up on account of his family. Before discharging the jury the judge reviewed their actions in some of the criminal cases which had been before them. In the case of Dr. Schwartz, charged with violating the dentistry law, thi defend ant made wo denial of the charge and ad mitted that ho bud no cortificate, and yet the jury revurned a veraict of nov guilty. In tho caso of Ganz & Lirbacher, o with selling_ liquor on Sunday, the charge was not denied, but one of the defendunts claimed the liquor was furnished because the man said ho was sick, but the jury smid the dofendants were not guilty of the charge.
