REASONS GIVEN FOR TROOP'S DISCHARGE (Continued from Page One. )

part in tne original conspiracy of murder. These soldiers were not school boys on a frolic. They -were f ullcrown men, in the uniform of the United States army, armed with deadly weapons, sworn to uphold the laws of the United States, and under every fiblication of oath and honor not merey to refrain from criminality, but with the sturdiest rigor to hunt down rrizalnality; and the crime they committed or connived at was murder. !Thy perverted the power put into their hands to sustain the law into the most deadly violation of the law. The pencommissioned officers are primarily respeasible for the discipline and Hoo4 conduct of the men; they are appointed to their positions for the (very purpose of preserving this discipline and good conduct, and of detecting and securing the punishment f every ealisted man who does what fs wrong. Under any ordinary circumstances the first duty of the noncommissioned officers, as of the commissioned officers, is to train the private in the ranks so that he may be an efficient fighting man against a foreign foe. But there Is an even higher duty, so obvious that It Is not under ordinary circumstances necessary so much as to allude to it the duty of training the soldier so that he shall te a protection and not a menace to bis peaceful fellow-citizens, and above all to the women and children of the nation. Unless this duty is well performed, the army becomes a mere dangerous mob; and if conduct such as that of the murderers in question Is not, where possible, punished, and, where this is not possible, unless the chance of its repetition is guarded against la the most thoroughgoing fashion, it would be better that the entire army should be disbanded. It is ital for the army to be imbued with the spirit which will make every man In it, and above all, the officers and noncommissioned officers, feel it a matter of highest obligation to discover and punish, and not to shield, the criminal in uniform. Yet some of tho noncommissioned officers and many of the men of the three companies in question have banded together in a conspiracy to protect the assassins and would-be assassins who have disregarded their uniform by the conduct above related. Many of these noncommissioned officers and men must have known, and all of them may have known, circumstances which would have led to the conviction of those engaged in the murderous assault. They have stolidly and as one man broken their oaths of enlistment and refused to help discover the criminals. By my direction every effort was made to persuade those innocent of murder among them to separate themselves from the guilty by helping bring the criminals to justice. They were warned that if they did not take advantage of the offer they would

all be discharged from the service and forbiddea again to enter the employ of the government. They refused to profit by the warning. I accordingly had them discharged. If any organization of troops in the service, white or black, is guilty of similar conduct in the future I shall follow precisely the same course. I may add that the soldiers of longest service and highest position who suffered because of the order, so far from being those who deserve most sympathy, deserve least, for they a-e the very men upon whom we should be able especially to rely to prevent mutiny and murder. Peo- . pie have spoken as if this discharge from the service was a punishment. I deny emphatically that such is the case, because as punishment it is utterly Inadequate. The punishment meet for 1 mutineers and murderers such as those guilty of the Brownsville assault la death; and a punishment only less severe ought 'to be meted out to those who have aided and abetted mutiny and murder and treason by refusing to help In 'their detection. I would that it were possible for me to have punished the guilty men. I regret most keenly that I have not been able to do so. Be it remembered always that these men were all in the service of the United States under contracts of enlistment, which by their terms and by statute were terminable by my direction as oommander-in-chief of, the army. It was my clear duty to terminate those contracts when the public interest demanded it; and it would have been a betrayal of the public interest on my part not to terminate the eontracts which were keeping In the service of the United States a body of mutineers and murderers. Any assertion that

these men were dealt with harshly because they were colored men Is utterly without foundation. Officers or enlisted men, white men or colored men, who were guilty of such conduct, would have been treated in precisely the same way; for there can be noth-

the race question in his regular message at the opening of congress, and says: "More evil and sinister counsel never was givci to any people than that givtti to colored men by those advisers, whether black or white, who, by apology and condonation, encourage conduct such as that of the three companies in question. If the colored men elect to stand by criminals of their own race because they are of their own race, they assuredly lay up for themselves the most dreadful day of reckoning. Every farsighted friend of the colored race in its efforts to strive onward and upward should teach first, as the most important lesson, alike to the white man and the black, the duty of treating the individual man strictly on his worth as he shows it. Any conduct by colored people which tends to substitute for this rule the rule of standing by and shielding an evil doer because he is a member of their race means the inevitable degradation ot the colored race. It may and probably does mean damage to the white race, but It means ruin to. the black. Throughout my term of service in the presidency I have acted on the principle thus advocated. In the north as in the south I have appointed colored men of high character to office, utterly disregarding the protests of those who would have kept them out of office because they were colored men. So far as was in mj power, I have sought to secure for the colored people all their rights under the law. I have uone all I could to secure them equal school training when young, equal opportunity to earn their livelihood, and achieve their happiness when old. I have striven to break up peonage; I have upheld the hands of those who, like Judge Jones and Judge Speer, have warred against this, peonage, because I would hold myself unfit to be president If I did not feel the same revolt at wrong done a colored man as I feel at wrong done a white man. I have condemned in unstinted terms the crime of lynching perpetrated by white men, and I should take instant advantage of any opportunity whereby I could bring Justice to a mob of lynchers. In precisely the same spirit I have now acted' with reference to these colored men who have been guilty of a black and dastardly crime. In one policy, as in the otheryi do not claim as a favor, but I chlenge as a right, the support of everycitizen of this country, whatever hi color, provided only he has in him ie spirit f genuine, far-sighted patirotism."

Boston, Dec. 19. Fire caused heavy damage to the block bounded by Tre-

mont, Bloomfield, Washington and Winter streets. The flames, were confined practically to the Studio building

on Tremont street. The fire broke out on the lower floor of the Eldridge and Peabody furniture establishment, and quickly swept up through six floors of the firm's section of the Studio building. The roof fell and the fire jumped across a narrow alley to the roof of the Orpheum theater, formerly Boston's famous music hall, and the top of the building occupied by the Talbot company, clothiers on Washington street. .The flames did inconsiderate damage to both structures, but the Talbot building was flooded by burst

ing hose.

Senate Committee Thinks

Hitchcock and Wilson Overstepped Authority.

TRY TO JUSTIFY ACTION

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ON PAN

AMA IS TO BE REPRINTED FOR

THE SENATE IN "NORMAL' SPELLING.

Publishers' Press.

Washington, Dec. 19. Admitting

they had no authority of law for the withdrawal from allotment of nearly 4,000,000 acres of lands belonging to the five civilized tribes In the Indian territory for the purpose of creating a forest reservation, two members of the president's cabinet, Hitchcock and Wilson, endeavored to justify their course by stating that they had the

best interest of the Indian at heart

The explanation was made before a

special senate committee, which is in

vestigating affairs in relation to the property rights of the five tribes, but

the committee declined to accept it.

Senators Clarke of Wyoming, Teller, Long and Brandegee declared that

the Interior department suspended a

statute of the United States without

authority and that it is the. duty of

Secretary Hitchcock to immediately

cancel his order withdrawing the land from allotment. The .same senators

said to Secretary Wilson and the chief

forester, Gifford Plnchot. that it is

their duty to withdraw their request to the secretary of interior for a sus

pension of the allotments.

Representative Murdock of Kansas

Introduced a resolution asking the postoffice department for information

concerning the last four periods when

railway mails were weighed, and recit

ing that if the computation for the

average daily weight of mail is errone

ous as reported, restitution should be

made by railways overpaid by the gov

ernment. The resolution said, it is

claimed the annual payment by the government of $46,825,998 is If per

cent in excess of the amount wh'ch

should be paid railroads for carrying

mail.
