EASY TO CORRECT RECORDS

Soldiers Wrongfnlly Charged with Desertion Need Not Apply to Congress. The Secretary ot War Hi? Power in All Cases Where ilistukea Were Made Only the Skulkers Uastllavo Special Acts. CHARGES OF DESERTION. Congressman Onthwaite Explains Hour Soldiers May nave Their Records Corrected. tlcclal to the InAi&napolls JournaL Washington, May 7. A statement recently made in these dispatches respecting tho practice of ox-Union soldiers appealing to Congress for special acts to reinovo the charge of desortion against their military records, for the sole purpose of securing pensions, has attracted widespread attention in G. A. IL circles. Hundreds of letters aud petitions bavo poured into the hands of members of the two houses of Congress against the adoption of the bills to remove the charges of desertion, except where the testimony shows that the chargo of desertion is a technicality and 6uch as could not be tho fault of tho soldier. The Journal correspondent bad a talk today with Chairman Outhwaito, of the House committee on military a Hairs, respecting the matter of correcting military records at the War Department. Mr. Outhwaite is in position to know what can and should be done in the premises. "Congress gave the Secretary of War authority and absolute power, at the close of the war," said Mr. Outhwaite. "to correct military records and he has exercised that arbitrary power in thousands of cases. It expires next month, I believe, and my committee intend to see that the authority isextended for three years more. It is the bo mo kind of authority that is vested in the Commissioner of Pensions for the allowance of pensions. There have been, of course, many instances whore the soldier was ontitled to a good record and the authority of the Secretary of War fell short of the instance at hand. In such a case it was necessary, in order that justice be done, that Congress should pass a special bill covering the case. It is just so in private pension bills. But the number of instances where a special act should be made in order to grant an honorable discharge are few compared to pensions. In the matter of pension the testimony required is complicated aud technical, while in the matter of securing an honorable discharge the procedure is plain, the testimony simple, and easily obtained. I do not believe that special acts should be made for military records, except in remote eases. The remedy for soldiers who were re corded as dissrters from any fault not their own was found in the War Department, and it was free from cost. It was only necessary to show that the soldier was absent from his company on account of illness, or for any good reason which would relieve him from suspicion that he intended to shirk his duty or be a deserter, and thai it was not absolutely necessary for him to have a furlough. Then a discharge would Usun at the hands of tho Secretary of War. The law is plain to cover the cases where the boys left the ranks and burned home at the close of the war and did not wait for a discharge. They have never had any trouble to get an honorable discharge. But those fellows who were absent from duty just beforo.an engagement, or who, during an engagement found it convenient to be at the rear, bave had trouble in getting a discharge, and many have'to come to Congress for relief." Mr. Outhwaite believes, as every other sensible and reasonable man in Congress, that there have been very many probably not thousands of bills introduced in Congress during the past quarter of a century which were meritorious, nnd which should bave become laws, as they did. to meet remote cases, conform to unnsnal circumstances, in order that the records of good soldiers should be made honorable. The military committees of Congress bave never failed to recognize the merit in these cases. But there have been thousands and thousands of bills introduced to give an honor-' able dischargo to soldiers who were deserters, and who could not find comrades to swear them ont at the War Department. Most of them were ashamed to ask for honorable discharges at the War Department. None of those bills bave so fax been reported in this Congress, although hundreds of them aro in committee. It is the pride and honor of tho true and brave soldier that ellort is bcinc made to protect. t THAT YELLOWSTONE PAltK STOCK. Gibson Relates What Waters Said About Securing Itassell Harrison's Influence. Wasiiingsox. May 7. Charles Gibson, of Et, Louis, one of the principal members of tho Yellowstone Park Association, testified before the publio lands committee that be and E. C. Waters, general manager of the association, had been in Washington during the latter part of Secretary Vilas's administration and the first part of Secretary Noble's administration for the purpose of fixing up leases and answering complaints. Waters one day told witucss that he was very intimate, personally, with Russell Harrison; that they bad been together in Montana, and that it would bo useful to have Harrison's assistance. Witness always, iu every enterprise, wanted as many persons on bis side and as few on the other side as possible, and said he would be gluil to have Harrison's assistance. Two or three days afterwards Waters said that be was going to get Kussell Harrison to belp the asaociation for a huudredsharesof itsatook. payable iu dividend. Witness replied that the association had never aone into anything of that kind.and that besides it would be necessary to consult tho directors. After Home testimony about bin interviews with Secretary Noble witness told of a meeting of the directors at which tho letter of Waters and the certificate of fitty shares of stock in the name of Kerens came up. Witness told the directors of bis conversation with Waters, und that Waters bud acted without authority und the directors at once voted not to issue the stock. MINOR MATTERS. Free-Coinage Democrats Still Laboring ta Revive the Hland Silver Bill. Washington, May 7. The silver question threatens to come up again as a subject of present 1egislative interest. The silver men are not disposed to acoept their defeat, and they are again circulating petitions urging the rules committee to bring in a special order to lix a time for a vote on a free-ooinaite bill. oine fifteen or more signatures have been obtained to one petition within the past few day , and Representative Pierce, of Tennessee, who has been the principal mover in the matter, says with the signatures obtained several weeks ago ninety-nine names altogether bave been secured. Exclusive of the members of the rules committee, one hundred and thirteen constitutes a majority of the Democrats in the House, so that fourteen names vet remain to be obtained. Mr. Pierce says that he does not know what will be tno result of bis efforts that he may fail to secure the requisite number of signatures- but that he intends to keep st work until he becomes convinced that be cannot succeed. The anti-silver men are not giving themselves much concern over the matter, and say that they do not believe the silver bill will attain be taken np at this session of Congress. , A Murderer Cure a Judceu Washington, May 7. In the case of Howard J. Schneider, who was recently convicted of the murder of his wife. Judge Bradley, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, to-day denied a motion for a new trial and sentenced the prisoner to be banced on Jan. 20. 1803. When Judge Bradley asked the prisoner if he had anything to say why sentence should not be prouonnced upon him, he aaid: "Yes, you. That's all." When the sentence had been pronounced Schneider setted a chair and attempted to brain Diatriot Attorney Cole, but was haudeutiedandquickly taken out ot court by the officers. The general

opinion here Is that this conduct was merely aii incfiectual attempt ou tho part of k'chneider to feign insanity. General Notes. racial to ths InrtianspoM JonnxsL Washington, May 7. J.

Ths Chinese in This Country Will Return ITome and Stir Up Trouble for Uncle Sam. New York, May 7. An evening paper prints the following: To say that the Chinese of this country are greatly displeased over the passage of the exclusion bill would be summing up the situation in a very mild manner, " said Tom Lee, Chinese merchant. "Thousands of my fellowcountrymen bave signified their intention of returning to their native land and opening hostilities against America and Americans. Should they carry out this design Americans will certainly not bo treated with the respect aud courtesy now accorded them by tho Chinese people when they viit our laud. Tho situation is serious as it now stands, I assure 'you. For several weeks past conferences of leading Chinamen have been held in most of the large cities of the country, looking towards the adoption of a plan for a general exodus. While 1 have not yet received any official notification of the result of the conferenee of a number of my countrymen held in Philadelphia this week. I know that some definite action must bave been taken in the matter by delegates, for they are more deternuneu than ever, now that the exclusion bill hits them so forcibly. The original intention of the Chinese delegates was to told this conference in Baltimore, bnt the tact leaked out. and Gong Hoy. the Baltimore magnate, who is tho grand master of the Chinese Masons, issued an edict transferring the meeting to Philadelphia. Yesterday tho conference adjourned. All of tho proceedings were religiously kent secret, but it has been ascertained that the principal thing discussed was what purports to bean imperial proclamation from China, railing all the Chinamen in thin eountry back to their native land, and declaring that all who do not go by a certain time will be beheaded should they return at a future date." BID NOT LOSE TflElR DEADS. Panic at a Cleveland Theater Avoided by the Coolness cf Manager and Audience. Special to ths Indianapolis JournaL Cleveland, May 7. During the performance of Charles A.
