TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SMITH CoURT-MAR-
T1AL TODAY.
The court-martial for the trial OF Gen. J. A.
Smith, paymaster general of the navy, met at
1890 am. to-day, and Chief Clerk benson, OF
the bureau Of provisions and clothing, was re-
called. He continued TO produce letters and
documents bearing upon various contracts
made under the administration Of the accused.
The judge advocate called for q schedule Of the
butter furnished the navy by Simpson, Mo
Intyre & Co., a New York firm. Mr.. Chandler,
for the defense, objected, saying the schedule
included the butter purchased for the Greedy
relief expedition, and that by special act of
Congress the President was authorized to pur-
chase and MT out vessels for that expedition. 1t
was, said Mr.. Chandler, an exigency calling for
prompt action, and the Secretaries of War and
Navy, under direction of the President, united
In providing for the expedition. IT. said Mr..
Chandler, Gen. Smith made any purchases he
did SO merely as the instrument of higher au-
thority and could not legally or eQuitably be
held responsible. Judge Advocate Lemley re-
piled that As they could not hold the President
or the Secretaries of War or Navy responsible
they proposed to make Gen. Smith responsible.
Mr.. Chandler retorted that that was absolute
cruelty. The court was cleared and the objec-
ton OF the defense overruled.

eral days ago in the superior court, chambers,
to set aside the decree OF foreclosure which the
Farmers Loan and Trust company had secured

the Bankers and Merchants Telegraph COM
pany, and by which decree the sale of the prop
erty of the Bankers and Merchants company
was to have taken place to-day. was decided
this morning by Judge Donohue: The motion
was made at the instance Of Willard r.
Powers, representing S25O.OOO mortgage bond
holders, chiefly In Chicago, who asked to be per-
mitted TO intervene as parties to the foreclosure
suit, and who claimed that the decree of fore
closure obtained by the Farmers Loan and
Trust company had been improvidently
given to all parties interested. On behalf of
these same parties a motion was also made
for the removal Of the Farmers Loan
and Trust company from its position
trustee Of the ten million dollar mortgage,
it being urged tina: the trust company had been
guilty of a breach of faith and had acted in
conspiracy with other parties in the interest Of
the holders of receivers certificates, of which
Mr.. Edward 8. Stokes was the chief, instead of
In the interest Of the holders Of bonds of the
Bankers and Merchants. At the time that
these motions were heard 1t was also asked
that the sale Of the property should be stayed.
Judge DOnOhue has denied the motions,
