GAGS AND STRAIT JACKETS.
Fireman Walker of the Enterprise
Given a Bad Character.

NEW YORK, March 24.-The third week Of
the McCalla Court of Inquiry at the Brook
lyn navy yard was opened this morning at 10
O'Clock. Commander McCalla made numer-
GUS corrections in his testimony given on
Saturday.
Mr.. lngersol, on being called to the stand,
was asked IL Commander McCalla personal
ly inspected the Enterprise on Sundays. He
answered that he did. He was also asked IL
he knew Of any official record of coufne-
ments, such as the lashing to the Jacobs
ladder, placing of men in the coal bunkers,
using of straitsjackets. etc. He replied that
he knew of no record of such confnements.
Witness then identified list of such punish
ments administered oD board during the
year 1888 and 1889,
Ships writer, j. ii. Doriey, who in 1888
was ships corporal, testified that at Cron-
stadt, where so many OF the crew were con-
fined for drunkenness, that Of the men
ironed and placed on. the quarterback all
were released at O'Clock on the morning
following the return TO the ship of the target
party, and ordered to 60 forward and turn
In. This witness made sweeping denial of
all statements made relative to the depriving
men of the use of their hammocks.
Lieut.. IL. X. Fichb0hm then testified that
no entries had ever been made ON the log rel
ative to the use of gags, strait jackets, or the
placing OF men In coal bunkers. Witness de-
scribed the nature of the punishments
awarded by court-martial to Coalheaver
Armstrong. he also presented to the court
synopsis of the cruise of the ship, taken
from the log books.
Private Of Marines Sanford testified that
at Washington, ID. c., when he was stationed
At At the navy. yard there. he knew man BY
ness was on board the Enterprise he met
PROXY on the ship. He so addressed him,
when PROXY said: THAT Is not my name
here; my name is John Walker" Witness
then gave PROXY, alias Walker, very bad
reputation.
Mr.. MenZies then offered an authenticated
record OF the trial and conviction at Wash
ington of John K. PROXY, alias John Walker
for incorrigibility and his committal to
the House of Refuge; also his
conviction for assault and battery
in 1885; also for the same offence on Mrs.
Annie K. Walker. Three other charges for
assault and battery were also shown, on one
OF which he was convicted; another failed
for want of proper evidence, and it was
pending the trial of the third that PROXY
alias Walker enlisted and forfeited his bail
of $500.
DR.. Herndon. the ships surgeon, was
called. He knew of no man during the
cruise having suffered in health from con-
finement in strait-jacket.
This concluded all the testimony that the
defence desired to present. The court then
said If the defence had any arguments they
would have to present them in writing, and
also to understand that such arguments
were not to be given to the press.
The court will remain in session for a day
or two, but all business will be transacted
behind closed doors.

WASHINGTON, March "a. = Lieutenant
Commander Longenecker. of the receiving
ship Nav Hampshire, stationed at Newport,
z. l., is now in trouble. The matter has
been called to the attention Of the Navy De-
partment, but the department does not see
Its way clear to take any official action in
the case. AS far as the facts are known at
the Navy Department, it seems tnat a sailor,
Carbrey, who had served on the New Hamp-
shire, had received his discharge, of which
fact Commander Longenecker was ignorant
Meeting the sailor afterward, the sailor
did not treat his former commander with
that servility which the commander expect
ed from common sailor, and he immediate
ly caused his arrest and had him placed in
double irons in the hold of the ship. After
ward, Commander Longenecker found out
his mistake, and had the sailor released.
Civil action has been brought by Carbrey
against l.ongenecker, and the case has been
brought to the attention of Secretary Tracy,
but as the sailor was not in the service OF
the United States at the time he suffered the
indignity at the hands of one of its officers,
the Navy Department does not see in what
way Commander Longenecker can be called
to account other than through the courts.
The civil suit will come up In the Rhode ISL
and Supreme Court next week.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-A special from
Huron, 5. d., to the Tribune says:
"There are hundreds Of people sitting
In the farm houses on these snow-cov-
cred plains, going mad from want"
The Tribune's correspondent visited
many farmers near Huron and reports
that there Is pressing need for relief,
IS starvation is staring hundreds Of
poor In the face. One farmer. who ex.
pressed the belief that he was much
better OF than many others, said: I'VE

little pork. II won't last long, and we
have to be careful Of the coal. But the
worst Is the stock. We have not got .

we get something for them to eat. We
