I'ollccmau II, 1'. Cal tell was called before
tbo Arises court-martial this morning at
tho instance of tlio court, and was ex
amined by tho picsidcutof tho court, IIo
testified that on March 5 Cptain Armcs
enmo to tho Third l'rcclnct Stat'ou-Houso
and asked for an officer to arrest tonio per
son at tbo Elggs Houso, whom ho would
point out. Ho had no warrant, however,
and this could not bo dono. Ou tho even.
Ing ot tbc Oth a warrant for tho arrest of
Captain Bourko camo to the station. At 0
p, in, on tho 7th it was banded to tho officer
to serve. That samo evening Captain
Armcs camo to tho station and lcmarkcd
Hint he would appear at tho l'ollco Court
next morning, whiu thu caso should como
up.
Nosubpirna was served upon Captain
Armcs to appear, as It was understood that
ho would appear. Alter Mr. Catkll's testi
mony was concluded tho coutt-room
was clcaicd, and tho reading ot tho
record of Colonel Canaday's testimony,
cHeii jestcrday, was proceeded with.
When tho reading of tho testimony wag con
cluded Captain Amies was put ou tho stand
to mako n statement and bo examined.
Ho said: "Mr. President and gentlemen
ot tho court, during tho month of January,
whllo General Barnum ot New York was In
this city, ho asked mo to ilud quarters for
his troops nudoffcicd moan appointment
ou his staff. I declined, as I oxpected nil
appolntmcut from General Beaver. Bov
eral dajs passed, nnd not hearing from
Governor Beaver, I tendered my services
to tho Governor by letter. On tho 13th of
Fcbiuaryl received an appointment ou
Governor Beaver's staff, slgnotl by Adjutant
General Hasting". I accepted Febiuary 10,
by letter. Mj letter of acccptanco boro my
nanio In print, at the top of tho nago and
thcro could bo no mlstako In tlio nanio.
About tbo 10th or 20th of February, I
took ono or two gentlemen to headquarters
and several were appointed upon my rec
ommendation. Somo tlmo later, while at
headquarters, General Hastings camo up to
mo aim miormcu mo my appointment was
a mistake. I sold, 'This Is very peculiar,
General; somo ono has Induced jou to tako
my narno from tho list.' Ho rcnllcd that
this was not tlio case. I asked htm to ex
plain and ho declined to talk any further
about It.
"I returned to my ofllco nnd wrotohlm a
letter asking why my nnino did not appear
In tho published list or aides. This letter
was Inclosed In nn envelope an advertising
cnvelopo conccrnlngeomo claims in Mexico
which boro tho address, 'Hell In Tovas.'
Ho seemed to tako offense nt thls.'-
Captatn Armcs testified further that Gen
eral Hastings rcplledtothls letter by simply
Informing him that his appointment was a
misiBKC. oomo uajs niicrwnru, wuen uov
ct nor Beaver was in tbo city, vv ltnoss called
upon him, aud lu tho presence ot General
Hastings asked him If he had received n
telegram from General Hastings regarding
tho correction ot tbo mistake. Oovcrno
Bcaver replied ho had heard nothing,
whereupon Gencial Hastings whlspe-cd
fcomcthfng to hlra. Then Governor Boavcr
saui: "uapiain Alines, mo commissio'is
mo all out and the a'des appointed, nnd
you bad better rido lu General Barnum's
division. I will send )Oimcoaim!ss'on when
I return tollairlsburg.'- After somo furthe"
conversation General Hastings llcw Into a
ragoand Oldcred wltneis oat of tho door.
For this conduct ho nltotward apologlzeij.
Captain Aunts said ho afterward received
an appointment toiidoln tho parado In a
position ncsr tho President's party. Whllo
lldlng peaceably along In tlio proc 'a
Colonel Gibson lodo up to him In n gait be
tween a walk and a gallop and said: "You
must get out of this proccis'onl" In re
sponse to witness' quciy as to what thotroa
blo was,Coloucl Gibson lcpllcd that Capt: n
Armcs had no business lu tho paialo.
Coloucl Gibson then took hold ot
Captain Amies' capo and Cptalu llo.irko
rodo up nnd grasped hlshrldle-ie'u bolh
being very violent In their inaunc, and,
without giving him tlmo to oxplalu, bacded
him over to tho police, and ho was put out
of the parade. Captain Amies testified he
Mill believed that Colonel Glbsou nnd Cap
tain Bouiko acted lu n diuuken nml dUn
dcrly manner and ho believed it B'mply
bocauso It was hardly crcdlblo that two
ofllcers ot tho regular army could act lu
Micli a violent aim uncalled for manner It
they weio sober.
Captain Armcs said ho camo to tho Police
Comt outha 6th, 7th and Oth otMaich to
attt ml his case, but did not como on the 8th,
as by that tlmo he bad given It up as Im
possible to havo tho caso como up. Ho
thin went to see General Dium nud en
deavor to havo a military trial and was In
formed that ho himself was likely to bo the
subject of n inllltniv tilal, us charges
had been Tprefcrred by Captain Buurkc,
so Captain Amies then preferred tho
charges against him. Captain Annas
Muted his caso to tbo court clearly and con
cisely, and dining tho recital his manner
was calm, dignified and placid, J lo read to
the court his letter to Governor Beaver,
puniiMicu in uu: vjiutio .uarcn iu,
Not receiving auy reply to his letter wit
less called unon Governor Beaver ten ehiys
later at tho ltlggs Houso. Wbtu General
Denver camo In ho extended his hand to
witness nnd greeted him. Governor Heaver
told him ho had decided not to send him n
commission as ho had ugiccd to. Governor
Beaver declined to apologUo for Captain
Amies' mistreatment lu tho parade, nud ro
fused to say nil) thing further lu tho uiatto
and moved off.
"I then leached up myhaud at hostortod
off," continued Captain Amies, "to detain
htm. Ho took this as nn Insult nnd I vr.ii
taken bold of by Howes. Upon being iu
leased, I walked quietly out ot the hotel
aud went about my business." Captain
Arnica recited his correspondence with the
Inspcclm-Gcncral iclatlvoto tho Investiga
tion of charges against him nnd his subse
quent summons before tho comt-iuaitlal.
lie also read to llio court his letter to Gov
ernor Heaver, asking him to request that
further proceedings lu tho court-martial bo
sioppeei.
"1 did not mako this appeal, as has been
staled, on behalf of my family," explained
Captain Amies. "I never pleaded to cs
eupufrom nuy incilted punishment ou nc
count of my family. During tho tlmo I
vnstr)lug to get restored to the m my I
nover asked my wife to say a sluglaword
lu mv behalf.
"The court will notlco that lu none ot

are being mado for his reception other than
a general cleaning up. lliero will bono

Into Iris legation and mako klinseltat homo.
Sir Julian Is a handsome old mau with wlilto
sldo whiskers aud hair that mako lilui los'c

Ho has thrco joung lady ilaughtcrs and
ono joungcronc, who Is not oul yot. This
joungest girl is expected to mako her

yesterday. Ho said he knew nc should llko
America. "It Is true," ho said, "that I
havo hardly had n cbauco to sco auy of it
yot, but I havo met so uvuiy Americans In
England and heard so much of thin coun
try that I do not feel llko a strangor In it."
Sir Julian, with largely developed pru
dence, said:
"1 snail not venture to glvo any opinion
on political subjects. My position in tbo
Foreign Ofllco nt homo mado mo familiar
with tlio details of tho Fisheries treaty aud
the Extradition treaty. I cannot say
whether atmthcr commission will bo sent
here to consider cither ot thci-o questions.
'llio Fishcifcs dlsputo Is probably the most
seilous, but I am liero with tho most pacific
Intentions and bear with mo tho cordial
good will of Her Majesty's Government.
Wo havo only tho kindest feeling towatd
America iu England, nnd 1 nm confident
that I shall duel It reciprocated here."
Sir Julian was not particularly acquainted
with Mr. Blaine, ami ho said ho leit Eng
land before English pcoplo had tlmo to ex
press any sentiment about .Minister Lincoln,
ocept ono of Inquiry. But Sir Julian has
no doubt that ho will receivo a cordial re
