IB no disrespect to the retiring board of the army that convened to-day to examine Judge Advocate General Swnlm to state that , although thut olfieor said under oath thlH afternoon he was not unable to perform the duties of Ills oIllCLanil was willing to perform them if ho was pardoned by the president , ho will be found Incapacitated , pardoned mid placed on tlio retired list , barring unforsecn Incidents. It lias been de creed that General Swulm shall be retired fo two reasons ; 1. To uiulio ti place for n democratic polltl- cinn. 'J. To smooth the consciences of those who wcro responsible for placing him in the position ho now occupies. So points will bo stretched to meet the exi gencies. It has been common comment among all classes hero ever since Generul Swalin was found guilty by a court martini of "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" In not paying a dellcit in his Block speculation account with u brother , that Ifho wore guilty lie should have been dismissed from the army , and , It intioieut , acquitted. It was one of these cases where the accused could not have been a ' 'modi- ' fled" culprit. There lire nil sorts of stories in circulation nbout who will ho appointed to the vacancy if General Swalm is retired. It Is not believed that either Generals Black or Uoscnerans is eligible , inasmuch ns the for mer Is drawing a pension for total disability mid the latter hns Just luul a bill reported favorably in both houses of congress to place him on the retired list of the army. Thus both arc made eligible to the retired list before - fore they could receive the appoint ment. The sciiuto would undoubtedly rcfuso to confirm the nomination of Black or Hoscncrans on political if on no other { ( rounds , lilnck is responsible for innn.v of President Cleveland's vioious and abusive pension vetoes , and Uoscncraus abused General Grant around the imlls of congress in the vilest language tongue can utter. IJoth believe no good could como from republicans , and hence it would bo stultification for n republican senate to con- llnu the nomination of cither of them. ANOTIIIMl rAlllNKT CANDIDATE. Judge K.V. . Hughes , of the United States court for the eastern district of Virginia , who Is spolcen of favorably in Virginia and other parts of the south , us : i ( It representa tive of the south In President Harrison's cabinet , is not now nor never has been con nected in any degree with any of the feuds or with either of the factions in his party In Ills state. Tlio judge Is one of the few ox- eonfedoratos who turned republican after the war , who is believed by the people ol his tate to have turned from principle , and not for pelf , and who therefore has retained their confidence and respect. He was once the editor of the Washington Union , the accredited organ of the national democracy , and subsuquutl.v of the Richmond Examiner , with which tie remained until it and Richmond and the confederacy wont down together. From the hour of the down fall of the confederacy the Judge has devoted nil his energies to the work of roconcillating the people of tlio two once hostile sections , and should ho bo appointed , his friends say ho will bo enabled to accomplish more in that line than would be possible for any other ono man. E.vriiA SESSION TALK. On the ground that the democrats do not want an extra session , the passage of the bill preventing an extra session of the Fifty-first congress , it is believed , will bo reported from the committee on appropriations. If it is re ported it will bu passed by botfi houses. Mr. liundall , chairman of the appropriations committee , is embarrassed by the situation , and he may wait till tlio semite tariff bill is received by the committee on ways and means , before he takes up the free tobacco bill. Meanwhile the democratic members of the latter committee arc swearing at the house for not referring the free tobacco bill to them , knowing at iho same time that it is notorious that they would not have taken action upon it , and that that was the reason it was scat to the appropriations committee.

The views at time were widely divergent and expressed with much vigor. Senator Sherman proposed the following amendment to trio bill , which the manufac turers now have under consideration and will exnress their opinion upon before the committee to-morrow : Amend paragraph 311 to read as follows ; "Tho duty on wools of the first and third classes which shall bo imported washed shall bo twice the amount to which they would bo subjected if imported unwashed , The duty upon wools of tlio second end class , which shall be imported washed , shall be 5 cents per pound additional to the duty to which they would bo subjected if im ported unwashed.

All wools which , when imported , shnll con tain less than 1'J per cent of weight thereof ofgretise , dirt or other foreign substance of matter , shnll bo classified us scoured wool and pay duty accordingly , " Before they left the room some of the man ufacturers asserted that such an amendment meant practical destruction to their Indus tries , and that as against it they would work for free wool.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to TUB HUB. | The publication of the Homans' story in the Paris edition of tlio Herald caused great excitement , es pecially among the Americans. Mrs. Ho mans Is much excited , so is the Italian prince , who talks nbout n duel. Mrs. Ho- mans was seen yesterday In her elegant apartments overlooking the Arc do Trlompe. She Is Indeed n beautiful woman , and her ac cent shows her create origin. She was in tears and hysterics , but composed herself in n surprisingly short time and told the Herald correspondent that she was the victim of a horrid intrigue of her husband's ' children by his first wife. She denied breaking Into his room in Brussels , and said that Mr. Homans was willing that she should bo there and that his family was trylnc to blacken her name , in order to obtain all the property. "Kxcusing my frankness , but Is there no more delicate reason ! " I naked. "I do not deny my guilt. For several years 1 have had a lover , but before I took a step I had given Mr. Homans solemn warn ing that such was my intention , nnd what is more , Mr. Hoinuns know perfectly well during these years that I had a lover. You ask mo how such a thing is possible. I will tell you. They have not spared mo , nor ' will I now spare them. It was because there was a ghastly skeleton In the inner life of tlvc fam ily. I know this , and Mr. Homans know it , and that is why ho was blind to my linson up to the time of discovery. I call God to witness I had been n faithful , loving wife , but I was stung to the quick by this out- ruseous treatment I became reckless , des perate. Finding my love- for an unloving husband growing cool , I made my first step in the wronir direction. 1 did this almost without concealment. " "IJut if Mr. Homans tolerated this liason so long , why did he finally denounce it nnd " "Becauso ho had been influenced against me so by the intrigues of his family ns to wish to leave his money to them and not to me. Ho therefore looked upon a divorce simply as a menus of severing his financial obligations to mo. " Mrs. Homans' daughter , by her first hus band , a beautiful girl of nineteen , listened to her mother's edifying remarks during the conversation. _ THE MAK1T1ME CONFERENCE. Certain Statements From Wnshln - toii Said to lie Unrounded. ICom/rlahtlSSSbuJiiintx / ( Jordan Hennttt. ] LONDON , Jan. 17. [ New York Herald Cable Special to THE BEn.l A statement having been made hero to the effect that Sec retary liayard hud recalled the invitations which he had addressed to various govern ment ofllcials to take purlin the international maritime conference , "owing to certain de mands made by Great Britain , " I thought it right to ascertain for you the exact facts from the very best authority. Whether or not Bayard has recalled the invitations is , of course , better Inown in Washington than in London , but I nm able to give explicit con tradiction to the statement that Great Brit ain has made any demands of a nature to throw obstacles In the way of the proposed conference project original in an act of congress , nnd no ob jection was made with a view of deciding certain questions connected with the rules at sea , lights , and other matters relative to the practical work of navigation. To such points alone was the action of the conference to bo confined. That has been well under stood on nil sides. When , however , action had proceeded a little further it found cer tain dinicultlcs with regard to the applica tion of principles likely to bo discussed. Great Britain , as the possessor of the great est mercantile marine In the world , could scarcely by called upon to accept proposals which might have the effect of interfering with the ordinary course of trade. There has not been any disagreement .be tween the two governments on the sub ject. No "demands" have been made on one side or rejected on the other. It Is found in effect that the conference was impractic able , and if held could lead to no useful re sults for the present. Therefore it is in abeyance , but I am assured that the British government is perfectly willing at any time to discuss an arrangement with a view to the safety of vessels at sea , or any other question of Interest to the powers , which are engaged in carrying on International com merce. If the conference provided for by the act of congress breaks down it simply will bo owing to the fact that the scheme would not work , and that practical men speedily recognized the fact when it came to bo closely examined. The statement mode by correspondents nt Washington , therefore , are much exag gerated , if not wholly unfounded. A MEMIIEI ; OP PAHI.IAMENT. THE PAKNKIjTi COMMISSION.
