A dispatch to the Times from Chemulpo, Corea, dated September 16, says that thirty- two Japanese transperts, convoyed by a fleet of the watships of Japan, have ar- rived at that port bringing reinforcements. ‘The latter, the dispatch adds, consists of 7,000 soldiers and 3,000 coolies, with 2,000 pack horses, several pontoon bridges and batteries of mountain guns.

A special dispatch received here from Shanghai today says that it is rumored there that the Chinese southern fleet is on its way north, and that it will take ad- vantage of the alleged helpless condition of the Japanese fleet and make an attack vpon some prominent Japanese port.

Politieal Sensation of the Hour—Is It a Stepping Stone to Senator Gor- man’s Seat ?—President’s Friend. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., September 22.—The an- nouncement that Mr. John K. Cowen, gen- eral counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, will accept the demo- cratic nomination for Congress in the fourth district, now represented by Mr. Isidor Rayner, {s the political sensation of the hour here, For mcre than twelve years Mr. Cowen has been the most uncompromising enemy of Senator Gorman end the state and city machines in Maryland. The newspapers during that period have contained dozens of columns of his speeches, delivered dur- ing campaigns, in which he denounced in most scathing and vigorous terms the acts of the politicians, especially denounced Senator Gorman, Mr, Rasin, Mr. Quinn and other prominent politicians, and accus2d them of all sorts of crimes against good government. Time and again he has trav- ersed the state as an independent ally of the republicans, fighting the state democ- tacy, and for years he was head, front and brains of every independent movement in Baltimore. All this is now to be forgiven if not for- gotten, and today some of the very men whom Mr. Cowen has denounced as re- peaters and ballot-box stuffers, are hurrah- ing for him because the word has gone out from Mr. Rasin to “shout for Cowen,” and they are doing it with a vim never before surpassed. All other candidates have been ordered out of the race without ceremony. Mr. Cowen is a pronounced free trader— he is not a tariff reformer in any sense of the word, unless to adopt out-and-out free trade Is tariff reform. He does not believe in tariffs in the American acceptation of the term, but would abolish them. -If he is elected he will add another to the in- teresting people in Washington, and will probably take nearly the same position on the democratic side that Mr. Reed occupies among the republicans—for Mr. Cowen re- sembles the famous republican ex-Speaker in many ways. Mr. Cowen is the most vigorous and pic- turesque speaker the state has had for many years. He is not only vigorous and picturesque, but he is interesting and logi- cal. He uses short and emphasic words, He has at various times paid his respects to every politician in Maryland, from. Senator Gorman down to the humblest repeater and ward rounder, and he has not minced his words nor been sparing of his epithets. While Mr. Cowen has made an alliance tility to Senator Gorman. few well-informed people assert that -his going to Congress is to be the stepping stone to Mr. Gorman's seat in the Senate, and that the alliance now formed bodes no good to the senior Senator, but, on ‘the con- trary, indicates that the final break has taken place between him and the city lead- ers. Another matter now discussed in_ thi: connection is that Mr. Cowen and Presi dent Cleveland are very close personal friends. It is known that when the railway attorney calls at the White House, no mat- ter who is waiting, Mr. Cowen gets in first and remains long as he likes. The President is said to be the real cause of the new deal, and to have urged Mr. Cowen to take the nomination, and also to have urged the city “boss,” Myr. .Ras'., to nomi- | nate him. Col. Baughman Retires. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. <---> +- FREDERICK, Md., September 22.—Col. L.

Thomas, attorney ‘for the Dis- trict, today submitted to the Commission- ers the drafts of two proposed bills to be in- trodyced at the coming session of Congress giving the Commissioners increased au- thority in the care of vacant lots in the clty.

Foss of the firm of Strickland & Foss, general agents, 1008 F street north- west, recently by Charles H. Davis. The latter was well known among the printers of Washington about fifteen years ago, hav- ing held a position in the government print- ing office about that time. Later he se- cured a position in the pension office and traveled throughout the country as a special examiner until about a year ago. Mr. Foss has been acquainted with him for about twenty years. Davis called upon Mr. Foss two weeks ago and asked him to indorse a draft to his order for fifty dollars, signed by C. D. Hay- wood. Mr. Fors hesitated, Lut finally in- dorsed the draft, and the next he heard from it was in a communication from Riggs € Co., bankers, informing him that the pa- per was a forgery. Davis has been arrest- ed, and yesterday pleaded guilty in the Po- lice Court. He is now in jail awaiting the action of the grand jury. A KNOWN QUANTITY.

GLASSCOCK DIVORCE Senator Stewart Files a Statement in Court Today. HE WANTS THE SUI DISMISSED He Says It is a Plain Case of Con- spiracy. AFFIDAVITS SUBMITTED aie eeainasaom ors Affidavits and letters were filed today in the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia in the divorcee case of Glasscock against Glasscock, on behalf of Senator Stewart, in support of a suggestion to the ‘court that the casé ought to be dismissed on. the ground thgt it,is not brought in good faith, that the pagties are in collusion and that the alleged offense is condoned by their continu cohabitation and that the object ts not divorce, but extortion and blackmail. b . The papers are very yoluminous, covering thirty-five typewritten pages. Some of the matter is of such a scandalous and obscene ‘character that it cannot be repeated. It embodies the statements of. detectives, po- lice officers, porters and attendants of the Senator's private and offices, neigh- bors of the Glasseock# and a number of Mrs. Glasscock's létters’to the Senator. ‘The first papers give the Senator's letters to Campbell Carrington, attorney for Mr. Glasscock, wherein the’ Senator gives the circumstances already ‘published of Mrs. Glasscock’s tmportuning him. The letter closes with the assurance that there has been no improper relations with the woman. Glasscock W Tempted to Shoot, A letter from Glasscock to the Senator is next given. It declares that the Senator has destroyed his home and happiness, “I have had a thousand impulses,” it contin- ues, ‘to shoot you down on sight like a dog. ‘That is the punishment you deserve.” But Glasscock continues that he will not become a murderer for a worthless woman. He declares that he does not want any of the Senator's money, but seeks only a di- vorce. Affidavits of M. C. Morris, formerly chief of police of Roanoke, Va., and Wm. E. Schauck, a policeman there, recite that in 1svl_ the Glasscocks lived tbere, and that the husband had the wife arrested for base conduct and soliciting men in the street. The officers tell of the dramatic court scene in which Mrs. Glasscock swooned when ac¢used by her husband. The case was dismissed on the ground, as the officers swear, that the court thought them to be impostors. The court recoras have myster- iously disappeared, William R. Abell of Washington makes an affidavit with such Indecent particulars that only the substance can be given. It recites how he and a friend flirted with Mrs. Glasscock id another woman, Mrs. Lease, on the street, and afterward ac- companied them about. Mr. Peters met them on one occasion and made a scene. Abell tells in detail of calling at Mrs. Glassecek’s house and remaining until morning. Tie friend who was with Abell when they first met the woman verifies the statements. Charles F. Lease, a veighbor of the Glass- cocks, tells of the men visiting Mrs. Glass- cock at night. He also tells of the dra- matic scene in which he met his wife and Mrs. Glasscock with two men and accused them. The affidavit récites some alleged lan- guage of Mrs. Glasscock of an extremely immoral nature. H. C. Easterday, a druggist, tells in an affidavit of letters passing between Mrs. Glasscock and the druggist’s clerk, in which she asked for money, because, as the clerk related, she was in trouble as a result of their intimacy. Letters From Mrs, Glasscock. A letter from Mrs. Glasscock to the Sena- tor, written on Hovse of Representatives’ stationery, is then given. It gays that the husband has begun divorce proceedings; that she finds “we have been' caught up with” and that she does not know how he has gotten hold of anything. It adds: “Now, I think you should attend to the matter right away.” “I intended telling you this morning, but thought the matter over, I feel it would not do to comprognise you any more than possible, and for fear | was watched again would use the medium of the mail, to find out your knowledge of It, and beg, or rather say you must conle to fny aid immediately, for you get me in it by having me come so often to see you.” The letter continues to recite the misery of the Glasscock children. It asks the Sen- ator to see her or send some trusted person to relieve her distress: She says she will employ a lawyer if she does not hear from him by Tuesday following. Another letter tells of her husband being out of town and ¢onchides thus: “Now, I am _coming to see you. “Get there early before any one gets there, 8 o'clock Mondzy morning. I must see you particular. I have some things I wish to tell you, and I shall be sure to come, for I must see you by some means if I have to see you on the street or in the S— cham- r. “How” I should like to see you this eve. “I guess you know. (Signed) CARRIE M. GLASSCOCK. (Excuse).”” A Detective’s Story. J. M. Elder, a detective, tells how he shadowed the Glasscocks after the fore- going letter was received. He saw Mrs. Glasscock come to the Senator's office on the appointed Monday morning. Her hus- band accompanted her, but remained out- side the building for the evident purpose of coming on the scene after Mrs. Glasscock was inside the Senator's office. She did not get in, however. Then the Glasscocks went to the Capitol, Mrs. Glass- cock going to the Senate reception room, the Senate gallery, and elsewhere, while her husband hid behind pillars and watched proceedings. Mrs. Glasscock sent her card to the Senator, on the floor of the Senate chamber, but he did not respond. On one occasion she sent a letter by one of her children, The letter is given in full. Detective Elder says that after this letter was delivered Mr. and Mrs. Glasscock came Other Affidavits. Charles J. Rappfer, secretary of Senator Stewart, verifies the detective's statements as to the Glasscocks being together at the Capitol. He also tells of her frequent visits to the Senator’s office and rooms, during which she pleaded for charity, and the Sen- ator treated her with nothing but the usual considerat ‘was about. A Pathetic Appeal. Another letter of Mrs. Glasscock’s is given as follows: - UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON, D. C., August 2, 1804. My Dear Senator: and how I have fallen. wy hour of trouble and me I have done all I could to keep our situa- ticn from the public gaze, but evente are now crowding themselves to a pitch that I shall no longer be able to shield you. If I cap get out of Washington I shall hide myself eway from newspaper report- ers; who will beset me when my distress becomes public notoriety. You are spead- ang more to hurt me, who has and is still thielding you. Get me out of the way of my husband's lawyers and I shall defend you against all odds. it is no use to allow this scandal to get into the papers. What ts the use to rake up this scandal? Give me means to get away with my five children, and your enemies will be foiled. I must have relief at once. Matters are getting serious and very compromising for you, - Is it possible you can treat me so badly? I who have never by word or deed in- jured you? Do this that I ask and no more of me will you ever hear. Sincerely, CARRIE G—.” Arthur Barnes swears to conversations with Mrs. Glasscock, in which she tells that she has shown the divorce papers to sev- eral, including a Dr. Michel, said to be an enemy of the Senator, who is alleged to have said he would have the papers publish- ed all over the Pacific slope to ruin the Senator. ‘The affidavits of a number of neighbors of the GI ‘ks’ tell in detail of their living together after the divorce proceed- ings were begun and until August 5 last. —_—-—_> NOISE IN THE NIGHT. Birds and Beasts Can Make All They Please, According to Judge Kimball. ” If'polly wants'a cracker he has a right to say..80,,and.if he should care to indulge in a little profanity he cannot be arrested. And if bird-tamer Schmidt's lop-eared rab- bit makes'a noise Jeweler Desio has no re- dress. If the birds and rabbits in the pet ‘hnimal emporium annoy him to the extent that he cannot sleep he will have to thicken the walls or move to a place where he will be beyond the reach of the noise. Schmidt appeared in Judge Kimball's court this morning to answer the charge brought against him by his neighbor, the jeweler. Lawyer Randall Hagner was in court counsel for the defendant, and he had a large Century dictionary and several law books which he intended reading to the court. He read the dictionary definition of fowl, bit it was found unnecessary to read the legal” authorities, ~ Judge Kimball had read a notice of the case in the papers, and he was ready to decide the case for the defendant. Even Prosecuting Attorney Pugh's strong argument could not make the court believe that a parrot came within the provisions of the regulations which provide against the “crowing” and “cackling” of fowls. Judge Kimball was perfectly satisfied that the law was intended to protect citi- zens against the noises of barn yard fowls. He was satisfied that the law was intended to protect the citizens against crowing roosters In the morning and cackling hens through the day. The judge also spoke of scratching hens and roosters, but Mr. Pugh said that scratching chickens do not dis- turb the peace and quiet of persons. But Judge Kimball thought they did. He knew from experience that chickens greatly annoy persons by scratching in their flower Counsel had entered a demurrer in the case, and this was sustained. The charge was dismissed. RETURN OF BISHOP KEANE. His Ideas as to the Future of the Government of Italy. Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic Uni- versity, has returned to this country from his visit to Rome, and will arrive in Wash- | room ington this afternoon, He was interviewed in Baltimore last night, where he was the guest of Cardinal Gibbons. The pope, said Bishop Keane, expressed the opinion that the time was approaching when imperial or monarchical forms of gov- ernment would be no longer tolerated, but would be succeeded by democracy, of which he pointed to the United States and France as examples of what he considered the broadest types of government. Pope Leo did not hesitate to say that he regarded America as the bulwark of the church.
