The Senzte agreed to the conferénce re- pert on the war revenue bill yesterday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock. The vote on the pa:cage of the bill was 45 to 22, as follows: Yeas—Aldrich, Allison, Baker, Burrows, Caffery, Carter, Chandler, Clark, Cullom, Deboe, Elkins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Frye, Gallinger, Gear, Gorman, Hanna, Hans- brough, Hawley, Hoar, Kyle, Lindsay, Mc- Bride, McEnery, Mantle, Mason, Mitchell, Morgan, Morrill, Murphy, Nelson, Penrose, Perkins, Platt (Conn.), Pritchard, Quay, Shoup, Turpie, Warren, Wellington, Wil- son, Wolcott—43. Nays—Bacon, Bate, Butler, Cannon, Chil- ton, Clay, Cockrell, Dentel, Heitfeld, Jones (Ark.), Jones (Nev.),McLaurin, Martin, Mills, Money, Pasco, Pettigrew, Pettus, Rawlins, Roach, Sullivan, Teller—22. Every republican voted for the measure, and their votes were supplemented by those of eight democrats, one silver republican and one independent. The democrats who voted for the adoption of the report were Messrs. Caffery, Gorman, Lindsay, Mc- Enery, Mitchell, Morgan, Murphy and Tur- ple; the silver republican was Mr. Mantle and the independent was Mr. Kyle. The yote against the report was cast by sixteen democrats, three silver republicans and three popuiists. Mr. Aldrich moved that when the Senate adjourn yesterday it be until Monday next, and the motion was agreed to. Mr. Clay (Ga.) then entered upon a brief discussion of the disclosures concerning the disposition of the moncy paid by Congress in Hquidation of the claim of the Book Concern of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. He believed the claim was a just one, and expressed his gratification that the Senate had rallied to its support. The attitude of the serators from the northern states who had supported the measure was, he said, appreciated by the people of Georgia and of the entire south. He was certain, too, that they would disapprove of the action of the men who had misled the Senate. Such action could be interpreted cnly as a “palpable fraud upon the Metho- dist Church,” ard the entire transaction ought to be exposed. He expressed the be- lief that when the facts were brought to the attention of the church authorities they would repudiate it, and he demanded that the investigation of the matter be thorough and searching. By sending to the clerk's desk and hav- ing read a press clipping detailing the vote of the Senate on the bond proposition of the war revenue measure, which classed Mr. Kyle (S. D.) as _a populist, Mr. Butler (N .) precipitated an ecrimonious po-. litical discussion, Involving the political af- flbations of Mr. Kyle. Mr. Butler desired it to be understood that not a single popu- list voted for the issuance of bonds, and, as the chairman of the populist national ccmmittee, he officially declared the state- | ment to be a slarder. Mr. Butler was proceeding when Mr. Gallinger (N. H.) made the point of order that there was no question before the Sen- ate, and the point was sustained. On a question of personal privilege, how- ever, Mr. Kyle secured the floor and replied sharply to Mr. Butler. “I am responsible,” he said, “to my conscience and to my con- stituents for my political views and actions, and to them only. I thank the good Lord that I do not get my political irspiration through the quill of the senator from North Carolina” (Mr. Butler). He believed that the people would stand by those who, in a time like the present, stood squarely behind the national administra- tien. Mr. Money (Miss.) called up a bill to ex- tend the time for the construction of a bridge across the Yalobusha river, between Lefiore and Carroll counties, Mississippi, a taking advantage of that, Mr. Petti- grew (S. D.) supplemented the attack made by Mr. Butler upon Mr. Kyle. He charged bim generally and specifically with trading with the republicans in order to secure his election, the understanding being that he wowd vote with the republicans upon all clcse questions. Mr. Kyle declared the statements of Mr. Pettigrew to be “intentionally and ma- Neciously false.” After some further discussion, the bill called up by Mr. Money was passed, and at 6 o'clock the Senate went into executive session, and thirty minutes later adjourned until Monday. a It matters little what it Is that you want— eee situation or a servant-a “want” ad. in Star will reach the perso: can fill your need. nace THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1898-24 PAGES, LACK OF EQUIPMENT Officers at Camp Alger Complain of Department’s Delay. REQUISITION FOR ARMS NOT HONORED Col. Girard’s Latest Circular Con- cerning the Hospital Troubles. INCIDENTS OF CAMP LIFE Special Correspondence of The Eveving Star. CAMP ALGER, Va., June 11, 1898 Much disappointment is felt among the officers of the 24 Army Corps because their commands are not being more speedily equipped with ordnance. This feeling is general, and it grows more pronounced as the delay of the War Department becomes greater. There is hardly a colonel in the camp who was not directed to wire the Secretary of War the number of rifles, bay- onets, gun slings and other supplies neces- sary to fully equip these commands. The messages, although sent at once, have been ineffective. Other requisitions have been sent the department from time to time, but without any more pronoune2d success. One issue of ordnance is said to be on its way to the camp, as indicated in yester- day's Star. This is to consist of 1,500,000 rounds of ammunition and 8,000 rifles, with the appurtenant supplies. This it is sup- posed will place the entire first division on a war basis. Until this issue is received, however, the greater number of regiments in camp must still be regardec as troops in a training school, and not as troops ready for war. Col. C. V. Hard, commanding the regi- ment krown in camp as the “Hanna Vol- unteers,”’ feels this lack of proper equip- ment particularly. He gave expression to his sentiments and those of his associate regimental commanders this morning, say- ing: “I would not have anything I am about to say misconstrued into insubordination. For in mind and manner I desire to be as respectful as a soldier should always be. However, it does seem as though there were somewhere broken cogs in the ma- chinery of our government. I was directed by the War Department to telegraph the number of rifles needed to fully equip my regiment. After I had been in camp about a week I went to the department to inquire what had become of the rifles for the regi- ment. We had lots of trouble finding the telegrams, but we did so eventually. It was on a file by the side of a messenger’s desk. Makes Formal Requisition. “They told me at the department to make out my requisition {n proper form, and this I had my ordnance officer do that same day. The requisition went to Washington by special messenger, but it has proved no more effective than the telegram. “It does seem strange that Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York can secure all the rifles they need, while the national government can't get any at all. I think it could, if the methods were more like those of the successful business man. Why, if any business man in our town wanted 500 rifles, and wanted them badly, he would have them in his store within a week. If the government were not 50 hampered by red tape and useless routine it could cer- tainly do as well. “It is useless to talk of sending men into the field when we cannot buy them arms. It is as useless as it would be to try and fight without arms. If any cone cares for the good will of the soldiers at Camp Al- ger he can secure it easily and certainly by providing them with proper ordnance supplies.” End Not in Sij From present indications d of the conflict over the establishment of the di- vision hospitals is not yet in sight. Yes- terday witnessed the appointment of a com- mission to examine Into certain matters concerning the hospital of the 1st Division, the receipt of a letter from Col. Hoffmann of the 13th Pennsylvania, protesting against the management of the division hospital, and the issue of a circular conceding to each regiment the right to use two cots. Today, in order to clinch the previous order for the abolition of the regimental hospi tals, Chief Surgeon Girard issued the fol- lowing: “To the Chief Surgeons of Divisions: “You will inform the regimental surgeons that the War Department is fully deter- mined on abolishing the regimental hospi- tal system, which has proved a fatlure, and caused much unnecessary suffering during the civil war, and has been abandoned by all nations which keep their armies pre- pared for war. “An evasion or non-compliance with or- ders on this subject is, therefore, not only prejudicial to good order and military disci- pline, but unwise and unpatriotic, in pre- tending to assume a superior knowledge to that of the established authorities, and set- ting personal views and interests above the common cause. “You will inform the regimental sur- geons, through their brigade surgeons, that the Ist and 2d Division hospitais are ready for the reception of patients. They are in charge of about one-fourth of the force of volunteer surgeons, and if the patients do not receive skillful care and treatment no one but the surgeons of the volunteer army will be to blame. To guard against neglect or inexperience, you are directed to send to me a list of names of surgeons, promi- nent in their profession, in your respective divisions, from whom a consulting board for each division hospital will be chosen. They will be called in consultation in every case of severity, and their decision will be final, subject to my approval. “You will report to me a list of equip- ments turned into the division hospitals by the regiments, with a list of regiments con- tributing. “You will also report in writing the names of regiments and regimental sur- geons having failed to comply with General Graham’s orders, in order to enable me to report them to the commanding general.” ‘This was signed by “A. C. Girard, leu- tenant colonel and chief surgeon, 24 Army Corps.”” Col. Girard Objects. Col. Girard objects to the Statement that @ commission has been appointed to in- vestigate the division hospitals. The com- mission to which reference was made in yesterday's Star was appointed to investi- gate certain complaints against the division hospitals. The commission ts still at work. Its report will not be completed, probably, for several days. In the meantime the work of dismantling the regimental hos- pitals and converting them into “dispen- saries” is still in progress. So far no at- tempt has been made to sieze the property in the hospitals secured through individual contribution, Arrests Made. R. F. Perkins, a resident of West Falls Church, was arrested last night about dark for striking a sentry and disobeying orders, The provost guard stopped the team Per- kins was driving and ordered him to drive more slowly. Perkins complied until he had driven a few feet past the sentry, when he whipped his horses into trot. When he reached the next sentinel the hoises were caught and held. The prisoner attempted to whip the horses out of the hands of the sentries. Failing in this, he struck one of the guards across the face with his whip. A few minutes later Per- kins was in the guard house. He will be kept there until tried by Provost Marshal volar The details of the trial are not xed. . Six colored people were also arrested yes- terday. The party consisted of three men and three woman, and reported to the camp of the 9th Separate Battery, O. U. I. (col- ored), with a basketful,of sandwiches and a second basket full of flasks of whisky. All six were gathered in by the provost guard before they had been in camp a great while, and are now being held for violating the liquor laws, Gen. W. W. Duffield, one of the newly ap- pomted brigadier generals, is to arrive in camp Monday. He will then be assigned to one of the brigades. Such assignment cannot take place until his arrival. Returns are being made to the War De- Ppartmont of the troops camp. This work should have been done before.

A third consequence of pay day was manifest generally about the camp this morning. Nearly every company was minus the services of three or four men who had stayed out too late last night. “Shantytown” proved too strong an at- traction.

Private Perry, Company E, 7th Illinois, is now in the hospital. He was excused from work yesterday by order from Sur- geon Sullivan. Corporal Manning ordered Perry into service, however, as one of a woter gang, insisting that Capt. Kelly had so ordered. After about half an hour Perry fell over unconscious. He is being treated for heat prostration. Sergeant James Berry, Company K, had his jaw broken. He was caught by the branches of @ tree as it fell. Chief Surgeon A. C.

The War Department, It is understood, decided this ‘morning to erect a wooden building at “Camp Alger for the use of the post office authorities, who propose to establish a pranch there for registering letters and ‘ales’ of stamps and money orders. — SALES OF PAPERS, Decision Affecting the the Newsbo: Judge Scott rendered a decision in the Police Court this morning which bears on the rights of ne’ joys and passengers on street cars, dlamissing a boy charged with violation of the police regulations. Tae question at issue involved the privilege of newsboys to‘jump on strect cars and scll papers. Bicycle “Policeman Duvall was complainant in the case of a small colored boy named James Lacy. The information was that the boy did jump, stand and play on the platform of a street car, he being a minor and not a passenger. The proof in the case was that the boy was standing at New York avenue and 9th street yesterday, and when @ passenger on a car whistled he responded and sold a paper. Attorney Peyton argued that the boy had not violated any law. It was ridiculous, he thought, to assume that the lawmakers in- tended any such thing as charged. Such a law would certainly interfere with the public, and be a great inconvenience to those who want papers when they are on street cars. Judge Scott agreed with counsel. The charge that the boy played on the street car he decided had not been established. “I think,” said the court, “that when tho Commissioners framed this law they had no idea that It should cover such a case as this.” The judge also said where a boy habitual- ly jumps on and off cars soliciting busine: the law might apply. Boys who are called by passengers, he said, jump on the cars at their own risk, and if one of them should lose his life he alone would be r sponsible. The charge was thereupon di: missed, and the boy was discharged from custody. Policeman Duvall told the court that he had received instructions to arrest all boys found jumping on street cars. Another small colored boy, arrested by Duvall, pleaded guilty to a eharge of jumping on a 9th street car. He was fined $2, and, not having the money, he stepped back. Un- less the fine is paid the boy will spend six days on the farm. ———-——. LECTURE TO TEACHERS. Privileges of Dr. W. C, Woodward Discusses Means of Preserving Health. Dr. W. C.

AJ Tue The power of Yhe intelligent teacher to Dennis Canty’s Trial for Murder Nearing a Conclusion. ——_> THE ARGUMENTS OF COUNSEL TODAY Mr. Wilson Closes for Defense and District Attorney Begins. EARLY VERDICT PROBABLE + District Attorney Davis began his clos- ing address to the jury in the Canty mur- der case at 1 o'clock, the appointed time today, but prefaced the main argument by an excoriation of the defendant's counsel for the charges of unfairness which, he claimed, they have repeatedly and wrong- ly urged against him. H> stood before the jury with arms fold- ed, evidently angry, and detailed the va- rious occasions when the opposing counsel had accused him of improprieties without cause and to prejudice the jury, he claim- ed, and, with curt and bitter emphasis, he said it was such things as these, done by modern lawyers, which had led a famous jurist to say that they had changed from advocates into literary prostitutes. “I will put the halter around his nec! he melodramatically cried, pointing to Canty, and this assertion was the keynote of a powerful arraignment of the accused in an address which later covered several hours’ time. he belief is that the case will go to the jury between 4 and 5 o'clock today, and that the verdict will be returned within a brief time afterward. Judges Scott and Kimball of the Police Court sat beside Justice Cole, after the re- cess. The court room was densely crowded, and the leading members of the bar were present. The last argument for the defense was begun by Mr. Jere Wilson shortly after 10 o'clock today. Justice Cole was a trifle later than usual, and the jury and counsel had been in their places several minutes before his honor was announced. Crier Joyce's “oyez" possibly for the last time sounded in the ears of Dennis Canty and his faithful wife and friends. Even on this most eventful day in his life the defend- ant betrayed but little nervousness, and then only by the frequent twisting of the erds of his long brown mustache. Attorney Wilson stationed himself, as the other counsel had before him, just in front of the jury with his notes piled up on the witness box. During most of his address he rested his right arm on the tep of the box, but stepped from it again and again toward the jury under the spur of his pleading for the defense. He spoke :n such quict tones in beginning his argu- ment that few in the court room could hear him, and many, including y himseif, had to put hands to ears. en some of E sitting but a few feet away, found it necessary to aid their heari developed his pleading his voice increased in volume, and it rang throughcut the ccurt rcom, the pleader accompanying it with emphatic gestures of his hand. Only the Vital Points. Mr. Wilson began by assuring the jury that he would rot weary them by a long analysis of the evidence, but would speak only upon the vital points. He said the usucl precautions had been taken to ke2p them from contact with public opinion and expression during the four weeks of their ordeul, and that he 1s confident, absolutely confident, they will try the cas} only upon the evidence given in their hearing. “There are no discrepancies in the te: rrony for the def2nse which cannot be re onciled in the light of reason and comme sense,” asserted Mr. Wilson, striking the back of his right hand in the palm of his left as he spoke each word. As proof of the fallibility of human testi- meny Judge Wilson said that out of forty witness2s introduced by the government not one saw Canty or Rye until after the first shot was fired, and they declared Rye was all the way from five to twenty-five feet apart, and few agreed as to th> point of the compass at which, relatively, the two stood. He then took up the question of reason- able doubt and carefully defined that state of mind as outlined by the prayers for th2 defense. He cautioned the jury in the most impres- sive way that they were to find for the de- fense if r2ason did not well up into their minds in convincing assertion of the de- fendant’s guilt. “Suppose a man approaches another arm- ed with a knife like this,” dramatically erfed the counsel, his long, thin, nervous hand clasping and uplifting the deadly black-handled blad> found near Rye’s body. “Nothing is mcre deadly than this. It Js worth a hundred revolvers. It can be con- cealed under a man’s mantle and used with murderous effect if he grappled with an- other. Suppose, then, this was in a man’s Eand as he approached his adversary, the latter would havé the right to take the oth- er’s life, and the law cannot hold him guilty of murder.” . Discusses Government's Theory. Taking up the government's theory of th2 homicide, Mr. Wilson said: “From the time of the homicide down to the presertment of the case to the grand jury—indeed, down to Mr. Shillington’s srgument, und perhaps my Brother Davis may carry the burden beyond—during all this time the government's theory has been that Canty shot Rye when they were trom eight, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty- five feet apart. Their theory was that Canty was not in danger; did not believe himself in peril, and could not have been so in the light of the evidence given. In proof of this, when you go back to the jury room, take the indictment, look on the back of it, and you will find there the names of all the witnesses who later testi- fied that Rye was far from Canty or going away from him, or some distance apart from him when the shots were fired. If ary stranger had come into the court room he never would have believed from Mr. Shillington’s argument that Canty was anywhere near Rye; he never could have dreamed that they were but three feet apart. Review of Evidence. “When Pierre Waggaman came into court and testified that he was talking with Can- ty just before the shooting, and, looking over his shoulder, saw Rye near at hand in an evident angry mood, does my Brother Davis mean to tell you that Waggaman lies?” Judge Wilson rapidly and emphatically raise the stahfard@ of health of an entire | C&lled off the name of witness after witness community w4s-trged as a sufficient war- rant for the sOcareful and earnest con- sideration Goes ty phe Early in the Ficla. who had shown Rye’s nearness to Canty, ard as he stated the substance of each one’s evidence, he cried: “Did my brother impeach this witness?” He assented that testimony given upon two points would show conclusively that The first application for a position under} Canty did believe his life was in danger the Cuban républft has beon filed at the| from Rye and that he feared the latter White House, Jt was made by Sen- ators Quay and [Penrose for Rev.

Guy Rye, the son of the man killed, was again one of the great crowd which packed the court room. He was able to get but little beyond the door on the left leading from the witness rooms, and stood there with hands in his pockets, attentively listen- ing. Canty looked seldom toward the jury, but followed every movement of his plead- er. His wife, at his side, with anxious, hopeful look on her face, cared less for the facts than she did for ‘the indications of the jury’s opinion. His mother, in deep black, sat during long intervals with her head bent down and her wrinkled hand pressed upon her forehead. All the morning Mr. Davis kept busily at work at his table, jotting down notes and formulating his address. Once in a while he took a rest and tilted back in his arm chair, listening attentively. Mr. Wilson Closes. The last words were spoken by Attorney Wilson about 12:15 o'clock. They made a ringing appeal to the jury to free Canty and were a fitting conclusion of his power- ful address. He was heartily congratulated during the recess by many of his admiring associates and friends. Promptly at 1 o'clock, after the recess, the jury were again ushered into their chairs and the final stage of the long trial was entered. The Final Address. District Attorney Davis, without ado, be- gan his closing argument to the jury, and breathless interest was evinced by specta- tors, jury and opposing counsel. It was expected that he would make the effort of his life, and the defendant and his lawyers were plainly anxious about its result. Mr. Davis then proceeded with his argu- ment, the burden of it being that Canty had murdered Rye in cold blood without rea scnable provocation and in pursuit of & premeditated purpose. Frequently he re- inforeed his assertions of Can guilt by reading from the typewritten record of evi- dence. The District attorney declared that all the evidence shows that C: nty fixed up the story that Rye had a knife, two hours after the man had been killed. He also asserted that defendant's counsel did not know that Canty himself had a Weapon until it was developed in evidence. “You know that is untrue,” hotly cried Mr. Worthington, who stated the circum-! stances attending his first and previous knowledge of it. “If Canty believed that his life was in danger and he would be killed, why, in God's name, did he not pay this premium on the cay, the Ith, it fell du>, before the shooting, and not let it lapse?” thundered Mr. Davis, walking up and down in front of the jury, showing the insurance company's notice to Canty. “He passed the place several times. ven went by the bank in which he hi; deposit more than four times the mount necessary to pay the premium when it was due. It is by just such little things as this, overlooked n'a plan of elaborate defense, by which men have been convi of the most heinous offenses. The Revolver Incident. Going to the method of carrying the re- volver, Mr. Davis said: ‘Canty said he carried the revolver in the front pocket of his trousers because the hip pocket was too small, and I had him wear them here in the court room in order to show you—and he did show you—that the Weapon fitted as well into the hip as the front pocket. And I will tell you why he carried it there,” said Mr. Davis, thrusting his hands into his pockets and planting himself in front of the jury, “because car- | ried in this way no man could tell h2 was armed.” It matters little what {t is that you want— whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. 1 day.
