Accordingly, an order was Issued by the president dismissing ail the soldiers of these three eoniianles from the service, "without honor."

No witness waa able to identify tny isirtteular soldier charged with being Involved in the affray. A majority of the member of the committee were convinced that the shooting was the work of the soldiers, and that the president was within his constitutional rights in ordering the dismissal of the three companies. On May IS last the measure for reinstatement of the colored soldiers came up In the senate. Senator Foraker, the champion iff the negroes, moved for a postponement of the vote until December. After a motion by Senator tulliersnn, of Texas, to vote on the bill Immediately hud been laid bn the fcible, Mr. Ranker's motion was adopted by vote of 62 to 6. The Ohio senator considered this a victory and gave out a statement in which he said that while he rould not have passed the bill at that time, he believed that its pusaage was Insured by the postponement. There Is nothing, to Indicate that Senator Foraker has abated his inter ist In the cause of the discharged men. He Is not the kind of man who quits In the middle of a light. There have been frequent rejMirts that he hus "something up his sleeve" in the way of specific Information aa to who Is responsible for the shooting. This may not be so, but those who are familiar with the turtles and tempera? ment of the Ohioan feel certain the session will be enlivened by a continuation of the fight fur the "Bhuk Battalion." $ n 15.
