The only pre einct to hand in the names of two de ‘ gations was Clontarf, which presented what | became known as the Kastner and tho | Saussay delegations.

Mr. Tuttle sald the Saussay dele- gation had been certified by the regularly appointed judges and clerk of the primary election and was the only delegation legally entitled to bu seated from Clontart and Mr. Murphy declared that the Kastner delegates had been chosen by the repub- lican voters of tho precinct at a caucus Held at the place and time appointed by the central committee. Aftet the' claims of both sides had been presented Mr. Breen moved to seut the Kastner delegation and Mr. Walker put in a substitute to seat the Saussay delegates. The roll call was on the adoption of the substitute motion and resulted in 86 ayes and 134 nays. Then the orlginal motion to seat the Kastner delegation carried. Contest for ¢ ir Charles 8.

On roll call the amendment ear- ried by 120 to 103, the Seventh and Ninth wards of the city joining with South Omaha and the solid country delegations to make up the mafority. Mr. VanDusen, upon taking the chalr, said that owing to the great amount of business to be transacted by the convention he would not take up any time in making a speech, John P. Breen was then recognized and in a few words of fitting introductory in- troduced the following resolution, which he sald had heen handed to him by the editor of The Bee and which was unanimously nadopted by a rising vote: Resolutions and Platform Resolved, That this convention In the name of the republicans of Douglas county expresscs its deepest grief over the dreal calamity that has befallen the nation and the civilized world in the rem: of thele beloved president, Wiliam McKinley, at the hands of u wretched ussasin.

LONDON, Sept. 28.—(New York World Cablegram — Special ~ Telegram.) — Lord Kitchener 1s urgently pressing the British war office to send him reinforcements of mounted men, but the war office cannot provide them. The opportunity of re-enlistment ex- tended to the discharged ycomanry has been accepred by less than twenty, the dis- charged men being disheartened by thelr former hardships and disaffected by the selfishness and incompetency of their offi- cers, in regard to which complaints are universal. It is belleved here that Kitchener is torcing & quarrel on the War department, 80 as to be relleved from his intolerable, not to say impossible, position, and take up the Indien command, which is being kept open for him. The redical papers severely condemn his demand for more drastic measuresa and urge the ministers instead to do something to check the terrible mortality among the Boer women and children in the reconcen- tration camps.

Expert Barnes Called. The judge advocate then brought in Lieu- tenant C. B. Barnes, cipher expert of the vy department, for the purpose of ex plaining the discrepancies between the dis- patch of Admiral Schley saying he could not, much to his regret, obey the orders of the department, as it was prepared by the admiral and as printed by the depart- ment, Mr. Rayner objected to the calling of the witness while Commander Sutherland’s testimony was incomplete. He also safd that he did not consider the variations in | the dispatch as important. Captaln Lem- ley and Mr. Hanna contended that the mat- ter was of grave importance and that there were precedents in both courts, martialy and courts of Inquiry, for the course. The court decided that on account of the objection Mr. Barnes should withdraw. He id 80 and Commander Sutherland was then recalled. Sutherland Describes Craise. Describing the cruise from Clentuegos to Santiago, Commander Sutherland sald that from mlidnight of May 24 to the afternoon of the 25th Eagle had met bad weather. This was due to the fact that the sea had a “long roll,”" which was very trylng, as the vessel was then one-third full of water. “A little after 1 o'clock of the 26th, when about twenty-five miles from Santlago,” he sald, “I was called alongside the flagship and the commodore directed me to go to Port Anionio for coal and to report rough weather south of Cuba. My answer sub- stantially was that I already had three days' coal, as much as Marblehead, mean- Ing as much in proportion. The commo- dore told me that 1 had not eoal enough for his purpose and directed me to carry out his orders. I then asked him agaln very earnestly to let Eagle remain with the fleet and coal from the colller. He very cour- teously replied to me that he either very much regrotted or else was very sorry he could not let me do so, Bagle had not coal enough for his purpose and again directed me to proceed, which I did after com- municating with the division commander. “How much coal d!d Eagle have?" 'No less than twenty-seven ton: “Of course Merrimac was with the squadron, was It not?" It was. ‘State the wind and whether practicable for the Eagle to go alongside Merrimac to take coal.” “Without any doubt.” “Why did not you do this?" “It was not in my power, as I had no authorit “DIid you suggest to the commander ot the flying squadron you could do this?" “I €id not. 1 requested him earnestly to let me stay and coal from the collfer.” Was anything else sald between you and the commodore at this time?" “No. 1 was so disappointed I did not care to say anything else. Barnes Under C Licutenant Barnes, recalled, was then shown and identified the cipher code bdok of the auxiliary cruiser Harvard, which vessel carrled Admiral Schléy's dispatch to Kingston, to be there transmitted by cable to Washington. Lieuterant Barnes said he was familiar with the department cipher code and that last night and this morning he had made a translation of the dispatch as presented Ho then read his translation and was ques- tloned concerning it by Mr. Hanba, who asked “Have you examined the duplicate of the clpher recelved at the department and compared {t with the cipher as it appears In that press copybook?"" “I have." “Was this cipher message s recelved by the department confirmed by the tele- graph company " 1t vas.” “I will ask ou whether in cipher those words as they appear in that press copy- book are identically the same in cipher as those reecived by the department, or Is there any variation whatever in word or letter." “They are identically the same In word Three words, as I recollect 1t, have letters which are Indistinet in one place or the other and might he mistaken, although there {# no chance of mistaking the word." oss Fir Recelved o “Then T will ask you whether, according to that press copybook, that dispatch left Kingston as it was recelved at the depart- ment In cipher?” “It did, if this the dispatch was sent of which this a copy.” “Now with respect to certain minor varia- tions to words here in the translation you bave given and which appear, 1 will ask yeu first bave you compared the transia was that mads from the appendis tion which you have with this dispatch in ‘L have not Why did you not do so “I was asked by the judge advocat to consult any other books whatever the secret code, and the book from which 1 took the cipher."” “You are famillar with and bandle it frequently?” “I am, sir. “Is it & part of your duty to do s0?" “It gs.

He also gave this as the explanation of the addition of the word “leaving' saying that It was done to bring out the sense of the messages With reference to the word “heavy" for “helpless” the witnesa sald: “Heavy and helpless” are very close to each other in the cipher code. A change of a single num- ber at the end which would indlcate the change of a letter in a word, or a mistaken letter In a word would produce that sort of a change.” Mr. Hanna reminded the witness that the end of the message as printed in the appendix was the following sentence diffieult which sen the cipher code on “Very tow collfer to get cable to hold ence did not appear fn the of the dispatch as preserved by Schley in his press copybook asked whether these words could by any transiation or any legitimate use of the clpher have been added, or whether they could be due to a clpher error or had they been simply added Conld Have Been Added. copy Admiral He then “They could have been simply cipher,”” replied the witness.

Mr. Rayner—I am quite sure we do not know who put it there. The Witness—That was there when 1 first looked at the book; so was also the word “cancelled” fn some of the other dis- patehes. “Who has the original dispatch, the original English dispatch of which this is a | press copy? Can you tell me that?" “I do not know. I suppose that the cap- tain of Harvard has it among his papers. It cannot be found among the papers he has turned In at the Navy department.” Mr. Rayner—Then we have here this case. We have a dispatch sent by Admiral Schiey, delivered to Captain Cotton, trans lated into cipher and you do mot know whether that clpher Is a correct transla- tion of the original. And you cannot tell | where we can get that original dispatch, 80 that we can ascertaln whether this pross copy does not correspond with the original dispatch delivered to Captain Cotton? ““I cannot," Mr. Rayner and Captain Parker closed by stating there was uo intention on t part to cast any imputation on the depart- ment.
