Many ideas were exchanged, but there were no developments of Importance. Senator Elkins, chairman of the committee, oc- cupied much of the session in making suggestions and discussing propositions which he thought ought to be incorpor- ated in any Dbill that may ‘be reported. These suggestions. were numerous and would m€an a lengthy measure aside from regulation provisions. Senator BElk- ins did not bring forward the pooling proposition, but intends to present it later in some modified form, so that there may be freer traffic between raflroads. One particular point made by Senator Fikins looked to compelling trunk lines to afford better faclilties to lateral lines and small ropds which are compelled to use big roads to reach a market. The better management of the private car lines so as to meet the demands of ship- pers, and amendment of the laws bear- ing on terminal companies and terminal charges also were suggested. There was a great deal of talk by other members of the committee and during the afternoon the Esch-Townsend bill was up for comment. It did not seem likely that this measure would be made the basis of action by the committee, as several mem- bers have made drafts of measures which ‘they will present for consideration. The committee* will meet again to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock.

The Queen insisted on visiting the poorest quarters, consoling and helping every- body.

BRANCHS DEATH “UE TO BLOWS Physicians Give Testimony in the Trial Growing Out of the Annapolis Tragedy Ee L D ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 23.—The prose- | cution used its heavy artillery in the line of medical testimony during to-day’'s ses- sion of the court-martial which is trying Midshipman Meriwether for manslaugh- | ter in connection with the death of Mid- shipman Branch. The Important wit- nesses to-day were Dr. J. M. T. Finney, chief surgeon of the Johns Hopkins Uni- versity of Baltimore; Dr. Henry M. Thomas, neurologist of the same insti- tution, and Surgeon J. C. Byrnes, the chief medical officer attached to the Na-| val Academy. The operation upon Midshipman Branch, consisting of lifting and folding over a portion of the skull in order to remove such blood clots as might be formed, was performed by Dr. Finney. Dr. Thomas, the specialist in that line, came to An- napolis at Dr. Finney's request In order to locate from the symptoms the proper place for the operation. Dr. Byrnes was callad in consultation with Dr. Stone shortly after Branch had been brought to the hospital. Much testimony of a deeply interesting, though sometimes techuical character was glven by the medical men. All the medical officers gave it as their | very positlve conviction that Branch died | from the effect of blows he had received in his fight with Meriwether. They be- littled any possible effcct of the treat- ment Branch recetved after the fight and gave it as thelr opinion that no treatment could have saved his life. The absence of an autopsy was explained by Surgeon Byrnes, who stated that Branch's fathe: refused his permission, The prosecution will close its testimony €arly to-morrow. Midshipman A. M. Fitch, the referee of the Meriwether-Branch fight, who admits to acting as referee in nineteen similay encounters, was questioned as to the gloves which were used in the fight at the academy. These gloves are used to protect the hands when punching the bag, but Fitch said that there was no regulation, as far as he knew, against their use in the friendly boxing matches at the academy gymnasium. He also said | that he had mever seen them so used. In answer to a question by a member of the court, Fitch said that he believed gloves used at regular prize fights weighed about three ounces. Dr. Stone said in his testimony that Branch came under his care at the hos- pital at about half past 8 Monday morn- ing. Branch was absolutely unconscious, he said; the left side of his head, the left temple, his forearms, right eye and lips were much swollen and discolored, and both eyes were closed. When the eyelids were opend with the hand, the eyes rolled and generally set towards the left. The left arm and leg were para- lyzed and there was a convulsive move- ment in the right arm and leg. There was slight fever, but the pulse was nor- mal. - % The witness said that he realized that Branch’s condition was very serious and called Dr. Byrnes, chief surgeon at the academy, into consultation. Drs. Finney and Thompson of Baltimore arrived dur- ing the day, and with the consent of Branch’'s father, an exploratory opera- tion was determined upon. From the symptoms and what was dis- closed during the operation Dr. Stone was confident that the condition had been brought about by external injuries to the head, such as might have been caused by blows of the fist. These blows could have been inflicted on either side of the head. £ STEAMER NORTH FORK IS BADLY DAMAGED EUREKA, Nov. 22.—With her bulwarks smashed in and her messroom and state- rooms flooded the steamer North Fork put into port this morning after having had a close call from destruction on the -bar, ich has been pradtically unnavig- able for the past week. The North Fork was well in when an immense sea broke full on her stern. The bulwarks were washed away in a twinkling and the wa- ter rushed into the dining-room and gal- ley flooding the compartments to the depth of three feet. Fortunately the steamer was able to continue despite the pounding she had received, but by all hands it was considered a narrow escape.
