Of theso five were ensigns and the entire eight had served on board Brooklyn with Admiral (then Commodore) Schley. The first of the day's witnesses was Lieutenant Charles Winslow, who had be- gun his testimony yesterday. He was fol lowed by Lieutenant Commander T. D. Grifin, who had charge of the powder di- wvision on Brooklyn during the fight off Bantiago, and he was succeeded by Ensigns C. A. Abele, John Halligan, Jr., Ulysses S. Grey, James M. Hand and Ralph N. Mar- ble. The last witness of the day was Med- Scal Director Paul Fitzsimmons, who was chief rurgeon of the flylug squadron. While Ensign Halligan was on the stand W™r. Rayner sought to bring out informa- tion as to the American ships in sight at the beginning of the battle of July 3, but Judge Advocate Lemly objected on the ®round that the question was intended to show the absence of New York and the Boterrogatory was withdrawn. Ensign Marble stated that he had heard Captain Sigsbee tell Commodore Schley on May 26 that the Spaniards were not at Bantlago. There has been some Inquiry as to Ad- airal Schley's standing in the navy since he was placed on the retired list because of age, but It appears that all questions on this point have been settled by the department having assigned the admiral to “active duty at the court of Inquiry” while it {8 in progress. This action was taken to prevent any question as to the effect the admiral's retirement would have on the action of the court. Schley luspires Enthusinsm. Ensign John Halligan, jr., who served on Brooklyn during the war, was the first witness of the afternoon session of the court. When the battle ot July 3 occurred he was in the port turret. The shortest range used by bim during that engagement was, be sold, 1,200 yards.

Replylng, Mr. Rayner #ald that the objection was similar to other questions which had been admitted, but that he withdrew the question for the present. In reply to questions by the court Mr. FHalligan sald that when Viscaya turned toward Brooklyn ‘“the Spanish ship bore on our starboard beam, a little forward, and was headed toward us, distant from 2,000 to 3,000 yards' He also sald that there were three or four guns heard at Clenfuegos and that these shots were reg- ular. Ensign Tella of Schley's Promise, When Mr. Halligan retired he was suc- ceeded by Ensign U. S. Grey, who was a naval cadet on Brooklyn during the Span- sh war. He said he bad heard no guns at Clenfuegos, but had seen the signal lights hore. Mr. Ragner asked the witness if he had any conversation with Commodore Schlev during the night before the engagement of v 31. He replied that he had a conver- tion. “I was on the signal bridge of Brooklyn after dinner,’” he sald, ‘‘when the commodore came upon the bridge, and during the course of the conversation he stated to me: “Tomorrow we are going in with the ships not coaling to bombard at long range to develop the exact location of batteries and 10 form an estimate of their strength.’ Ile #ald he was ot going in for a regular hom- bardment, as he had instructions from the department not to hazard the ships against the batteries, and that it he should disable one of his ships during this bombardment his force would then be rendered inferior to the Spanish forces inside the harbor; that ho was going in merely for & recon- nalssance and not to destroy the batteries or Colon." The w'tness sald ho had been on the gun deck Auring the battlo of July 8 Brooklyn pursued a slauous course, he sald, at the beginning of the engagement and then swung rapidly to starboard with port helm His least range was 1,200 yards and his greatest 2,600 yards Three Cheers for Commodore, The next witness was James A. Hand, 180 an enelgn, who had served on Brooklyn a8 A naval cadet. He testified that on the day of the battle of July 3 he was at the central station and recelved from Commo- dore Schley and Cantain Cook encouraging messages to the men and that one of these from the commodore was received with a “three cheers for the commodore. Ensign Ralph N, Marble, who was a cadet on Brooklyn during the war, sald that on the day of the battle off Santiago he had had charge of some of the after five-inch guns. His closest range was 1,100 yards. The orderlies had passed the range of 800 yards to him, but he had not used that range. Dr. Paul Fitzeimmons, chlef surgeon of the flying squadron, was the last witness of the day. He observed the battle of July 8 from the gundeck of Brooklyn and sald that it seemed to him at the time that Brooklyn was fighting the battle entirely alone. e thought Brooklyn kept Colon from getting away.

Jones of Chicago, who is here investigating the sewerage system, will proceed to Paris in a few days and continue his researches there €0 as 1o be able to present sclentific testi- mony when the petition of St. Louls against Chicago, relative to the sewerage system of the latter city, comes up in the United States supreme court. Mr. Jones told a representative of the Assoclated Preps today that his investigations satisfied him that the money spent on Chicago's drainage canal was well oxpended. The septic tank system for sewage treatment, adopted by a number of comparatively small citles in England, which is advocated by the oppo- nents of the Chicago system, Mr. Joues con- widers well adapted to towns of 100,000 in- habitants, but impracticable for large cities.

The Brit- ish having surprised seyeral camps, the Boers are now in the habit of shifting camp by night. Lately the British columns, after long night marches, have arrived at their objectives only to find the Boers gone. Britieh columns penetrating Orange River Colony miles from the railways find flelds of maize or freshly plowed lands, the Boers malking off at their approach and returning when the columns pass on. The herds on the high veldt still seem to be numerous. The Boers are living on cattle and mealies stored in out of the way places Foreigners Not Masters of Art of Combining Interests Asateably.

HASTINGS, Neb,, Oct. 17.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The campaign was duly opened here tonight by a big republican meeting in the Kerr opera house, which was crowded to Its capacity. People came from all over the country to hear Senator Willlam Fair- hanks of Indiana, who was Introduced by Hon. M. A. Hartigan. Mr. Fairbanks began his address by pay- ing a high compliment to Senator Dietrich, who was upon the stage In company with Congressman Burkett of Lincoln. He dis- cussed the money question and told how cKinley had taken hold of the govern- j mental reins as soon as he had been elected and proceeded to put the tariff bill into effect and since that time prosperity had relgned throughout the country. He asked if the last five years had not vindicated the republican party, and wanted to know if the remarkable change which came over the | county was merely a chance change. The senator took up the Spanish-Amer- fcan war and showed how the president tried to make peace and how many people had then urged him against such methods. The president went on, urging peace with one hand and ho'ding war with the other. *“We were not ready for war, our coast de- fenses were lacking and our navy was in- | sufMcient, but after congress declared for | war our great commander was prepared for | war and had everything In readiness.” The senator gave a fine word picture of the great victories won by Admiral Dewey at Manila bay and the land battle at Santiago by President Roosevelt, and told of the final peace treaty, which was presided over by five of the hest men that could possibly have been chosen for this work. As they negotiated they treated Spain, not as a broken-down power, but just as if it were one of the greatest in the warld, and this did more to bring pralse for the United States than did anything else. It showed | that the people of the United States were us Just and generous as any that ever lived. The senator touched Bryan up for referring to McKinley through the columps of the Commorer as “‘emperor.” When he asked it we should pull down the flag in the Philippines that had been raised by McKin- ley loud cries ot “No! No!" rang through- out the audience. At the close of his remarks Senator Fair- banks was heartily cheered.

It is rumored that Henry B. Youtsey will be put on the stand to tell all he kmows about the affair as his only hove of escap- ing his life sentence. Arthur Goebel. how- ever, says Youtsey wiltapot be called by the commonweaith, Migs Lucy Brock testified of Powers say- ing that Governor Taylor had given him $1,000 with which to pay the expenses of the mountain men and that he aud Charles nloy were ralsing the army. Detective Jenkins of Lexington, Sheriff Henry Bosworth and Deputy Frank Rogers told of Powers’ arrest the night he fled from Frankfort disguised as a soldler. Waltar | Bronston, county attorney for Fayette, said when he heard Powers bad left Frankfort erd was coming toward Lexington he got Thomas Cromwell, A newspaper reporter, to swear out a warrant for Powers and Captain Jonn Davis, charging Goebel's murder. The | warrants were served on the arrival of their | train. Victor Anderson, steward of the Second | regiment, sald he took a bundie to Powers on the night of his escape. It was sent by Assistant Adjutant Dixon and contained a military suit. When court recouvened this afternoon Commonwealth Attorney Frank- lin announced that the state would close | tomorrow. | Enoch Mays, a new witness from Knox lcounty, testified that John L. Powers. brother of the defendant, told him Goebel would be killed. Adjutant General David Murray produced | 1etters from Caleb and John L. Fowers to | Adjutant General Colller telling bim to give orders to bring the militia to Frankfort. F. Wharton Golden was then placed on the stand and Colonel Campbell conducted his examination. He is considered the state’'s star witness. Mr. Owen then moved to exclude Golden because he was under indictment as accessory to the murder, “No man,” said he, “with & halter around his neck should be allowed to testifv.” Judge Cantrill overruled the motion. Golden repeated bis story glven at the former trial Golden testified that It was generally un- derstood among the mountain men that Goebel was to be killed. He eald when Powers was told of Goebel's death as he was returning to Frankfort from Louisville, he sald: “It is a shame and an outrage.' At the night session Golden told of his connection with Powers in assembling the mountain men at Frankfort and of a conver- satlon he had with Governor Taylor in which Taylor said: “It is an awful thing to think of taking human lite, but it looks like Goebel must die or we will be robbed.” ¢ The cross-examination was then taken up. Golden was still on the stand when court adjourned. Golden admitted that he entered into an agreement to procure the murder of Goebel; that he had offered $500 to any man who would kill him and that he was under in- dictment under the charge of having en- tered in a conepiracy to mmd. - ‘Tebel. He said he heard C. O. Reynolds at Frankfort say he was willing to put one black bean in a full can of white ones and let all hands draw from the bottle, the man drawing the black bean to kill Goebel.

E. Farnum, while making repairs on a telephone wire today under the guardianship of a special police- man, was attacked by seven men whom he claims he recognized as striking lincmen. Farnum, like other nonunion men, carried a camera for the purpose of taking snap- shots of anyone found injuring the tele- phone's company's property. He quickly got A focus on the crowd and pressed the button. This further angered the seven men and they threatened the amateur photog- rapher, who thercupon drew his revolver and fired a shot over their heads. The men started to run, followed by two patrol wag- ons loaded with policemen, a riot call hav- ing been turned in. Four of the men were arrested. Farnum said he believed he had secured a good pleture of all the men and the polico say that when the picture is de- veloped they will get the remainder of the crowd. The linemen, numbering 250, went on strike A month ago. It has always been difficult to identify strikers charged with violence and the expedient of equipping nonunfon employes with cameras is a no elty that is likely to prove of practical use.

Rice, pastor of the Baptist church of Marys- ville, has been accused by his congregation of lack of patriotism and ousted him from his pastorate. On the Sunday following the death of President McKinley, it is alleged, the minister falled either to pronounce an eulogy upon the late chief executive in his sermon or to refer to his death in his pray- ers. Words of sympathy for the afficted wife were spoken, but the application was not clear enough to satisfy all his hearers Rev.

Bus "o Total L5605 5,000 Yesterday was the first day for citizens who desire to enjoy their rights on No- vember b to place their names on tho regl tration lists. Reports from forty pr cincts in the city, taken at random, indi- cate that the total registration was a little less than half of that recorded for the first day last year. Just 2,665 voters registered in the forty | precincts reported and the total registra- tion for the same precincts on the first day last year was 5,060, The total for all the seventy-six precincts In the city on the first day last year was 10,350, showing that the forty precincts entering into the comparison above stated reglstered 48.9 per cent of the city's total. Applylng this same percentage to the number of voters regls- tered in forty precincts yesterday, it will be seen that the total registration for the entire city will be mnearly 52300, against 10,350 for last year. Blame is on the Voters. It it had rained yesterday the weather would have been compelled to include among its many sins of commission the | decrease in the registration, but as the day was as clear and cheery as the best one ever mentioned in poetry, the only excuse that can be offered in behalf of the stay- at-homes is lack of Interest in a purely local election. The republicans more than held their own in yesterday's registration, while the democrats displayed a slight falling off. .Of 65 voters registered in forty precincts, 1,760, or 68.5 per cent, declared themselves to be republicans. Last year 3.024, or 59 per cent, of the 5060 voters who registered | in these same forty precincts on the first day announced their alleglance to the publican party. Thus the republicans show a gain of just .5 per cent. In like manner the democrats show a loss of .8 per cent. Yesterday only 040, or 208 per cent, of those who registered in the forty precincts were democrats. Last year 1,301, or 25.7 per cent, of the 5,060 who registered the first day were put down in the democratic column. Indicate Vanishing Populism. The returns from the forty precincts in- dicate that populism is vanishing from the political atmosphere of the city, as only eightesn weces deciated. their afiligtion with the third party, where: the sawe’ forty precincts produced eighty-six popu- Iists on the first day last year. Another notable feature of yesterday's registration was the comparatively small number of voters who declined te s&tate their party afliations. It is evidently be- coming more generally understood that eiti- zens must declare their partisanship to par- tlcipate in following primaries of their | parties. The remaining days for registration this year are Friday, October 25, and Saturday, November 2. Vote in Detail.

Some time ago, upon the petition of the cattlemen, the oprobate judge of Custer county granted a restraining order ngalnst members of the Farmers' Probhibitive asso- clation in the three countles named, forbid- ding them to molest in any manzer the live stock of the plaintifis, even though the latter should drive their cattle and horses Into the flelds of the farmers Judge C.

FRANK MILES WAKENED BY BURGLARS When He Rouses They Deluge Both Him aad His Wife, SPITE OF SCA‘LDING PAIN HE PURSUES Fires Povelver After Fleeing Forms in Darkness. ONE MAN STAGGERS AS THOUGH HIT When Ch Ended Milea Finds Imaelf and Wife Both Badly Burned by Carholic Misture =Under Doctor’ e In Care, GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oct. 17.-(Spe- clal.)~The most desperate attempt at rob- bery that has been committed in this com munity for years was at the home of Frank W. Miles, a railroad man, last night. Mr. and Mrs. Miles had attended the annual ball of the Fraternal Ald association in the evening and did not retire until 1 o'clock Two hours later Mr. Miles was awakeoned | by & noise in the room. His first impros slon was that Mrs. Miles was up and he called (o her, asking what was the matter. There was no response. He ralsed up in bed and was struck 4 blow on the head which dazed him for a moment. He mado further attempts to get up, intending to go after his revolver, when he felt something thrown in his face. He scarcely paid any attention to the matter and when he was out of bed his assallant retreated. Upon Roing into another roon: Mr. Miles found there were two of the intruders. They had opened the rear door in order to have a scape, though they gained their through a rear window which had 't unlatched. Fires Several Shots the burglars When | door Mr. Miles, baving found his revolver, dashed out of the followed them and fired several shots. The men ran down the alley, one of them yell- ing at his partner s they did so: “We will have to drop it. We can’'t make it.”* Later it was found that “it" referred to a wash sack in which were two of Mrs. Miles' skirts, valued at $15 each, a jacket of the same value, a pair of trousers and a vest belonging to Mr. Miles, a gold watch of the value of $45, three rings, ono diamond worth along $100 and considerable sllverware. The suck was recovered. Asido from this the men secured a pocketbook with $33 and some change, which was not recovered. Mr. Miles thinks that one of his shots, fired in the alley, struck one of the men, as he jumped in the alr and was assisted along by his campanion, who in turn shot At Mr. Mfles. The Jatter stepped on a plece of glass in the alley and, belng bare- footed, had to abandon the chase. Wife Also Burned. Upon returning to the house he found his wife in hysterice. When Mr. Miles felt the liquid thrown in his face he paid little attention to it in the excitement, but upon returning he found that carbolic acid had been thrown all over Mrs. Miles' face. He then realized what the prickling, burning sensation on his neck was. A doctor was called and it is belie: there will be no serlous results aside from the intenso pain. Fortunately Mrs. Miles had not awakened | until after her husband had got out of hed after the burglars and thus the acid thrown in her face did not affect the eyes. There is no clue to the burglars, but it is believed that it is the work of home talent Mr. Miles being in the employ of the Union Pacific, had just two days previously oh tained Lis month's pay.
