Testimony Before the Court Mar
tial in the Great Trial
VALETTA. Malta. July 1S.-The court
martial which is trying Capt. the Hon.
Maurice Bourke and the other officers of
the battIeship Victoria, which was run
into and sunk by the battleship Cam
perdown, off Tripoli, Syria. on June %
last. resumed its sitting this morning
on the HIbernia, the flagship of Rear
Admiral Richard E. Tracey.
Continuing, Capt. Bourke said that
had the vice admiral been aft he GER
tainIy would not have sent to ask per-
mission to alter the speed of the ship.
He (witness) had never been in a SIM
liar position before. He did not di-
rectly tell the vice admiral that perform
ing the maneuvers in distance of six
cable lengths would, in his opinion,
result in collision He did not think the
vice admiral was confusing the radius
with the diameter of the circle. He
supposed something else was going to
happen. Like everybody else, he had
unbounded confidence in Vice Admiral
Tryon. He believed that Sir
George must know how to get
out of the difficulty. When asked
to explain how it was that the
signal for six cables was flying after
the vice admiral had virtually assented
to ''eight cables Capt. Bourke replied
that it was after Staff Commander
Hawkins-Smith had left the cabin that
the vice admiral summoned Flag Lieut..
Clifford and ordered him to signal six
cables" This order, Capt. Bourke be-
lieved, was written order. About
thirty seconds elapsed between Capt.
Bourke's last appeal and the reversal of
the port screw by the vice admiraPs
order.
Staff Commander Hawkins-Smith also
gave evidence showing that Vice Ad-
miral TryOn took upon himself the re-
sponsibility for the disaster. The staff
commander said that Immediately after
the Camperdown rammed the ictoria
the vice admiral said to him at was en-
lrely my doing, it was entirely my
fault"

The work OF clearing away the debris

was continued today with an increased
force of men. The workmen are fast
approaching that point in the ruin above
which the fatal tower stood, and as the
rubbish is removed the stencil increases.
It's at this point that some of the fire.
men believe that several human bodies
will be found. though the sanitary and
ambulance officials put little faith in
their belief. They think the odor arises
from decsying meats that were stored
in the warehouse before the fire.

SIOUX CITY. To-. July 18.-It is an
nounced today that the changes that
had been expected a long time in the
ownership of roads built by local capi-
talists Will take effect soon. President
Hill. Of the Great Northern, is here. It
IS said his line IS to take the manage
ment of the Sioux City x Northern. while
the Illinois Central will take the Pacific
short line running into Nebraska. The
Central will also take the unfinished
bridge of the Missouri River Bridge
company and complete it. 1t is an
nounced that it Will extend the short
line to the West in one or two years,
probably to Denver. This is the
first road owned by the Central
West of the Missouri river.
President Fish, OF that company, was
here a few days ago and confirmed
these statements substantially. His
line will make other important improve
ments here this year, and viii runs its
trains into the union depot now being
finished. 1t has been expected for a

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The addI-
tionaI details of the firing on the Mo-
hican have not yet convinced the navy
department officials that the story is
correct. There have been several COM
munications exchanged with the patrol
fleet since May %, the date given as
that of the engagement. but no refer
ence was made to any such event. The
utmost that the department will admit
as reasonably probable is that if the
Alexandria did escape from the No
hican it was solely on account of the
fog or superior speed, and not owing TO
the disablement of the MOhican's ma
chinery by a shot. Indeed, it Is said
that owing to the location of the ma
chinery we'll below the water line, it
would scarcely be possible for so small
shot to reach it. There was good
deal of speculation at the navy depart
ment as to what fate may be in store for
the Alexandria if the story be true.
Some officers nigh in rank thought she
might be claSsed as pirate and treated
accordingly, but the cooler heads held
that as her original otfense was not one
recognized by international law, and
she was under a Hawaiian registry, she
could not be taken upon the nigh seas.
If she appears at San Francisco it is
question whether she could be seized
except upon evidence (Of which there
appears TO be nOne) that she had ViO-
lated the sealing laws.

TROUBLE OYER A PATENT
LONG LITIGATION I'M m

The fight is on between the big rival
harvester manufacturers of the Twia
Cities. Yesterday suit was commenced
in the United States circuit court al
Minneapolis by the Walter A. Wood
Harvester company, of St. Paul, against
the MinnPapOlis-Esterly Harvester come
pany, of Minneapolis, for infringement
OF patent rights. Judgment is also
asked in the tidy sum of $3.50, 900 in ad-
dition to the amount of profits which
the Esterly company may have made,
and that the court enjoin that company
from further infringing acts. The
principal facts, as they appear in the
voluminous papers filed. are the follow
ing: Almost all self-binding harVesters
now manufactured are of what IS known
as the ''Appleby type" Appleby, un-
til ilrecently resident of Minneapolis.
is a prolific inventor, having taken
out a large number of patents. nearly
all on harVesters, and the principal
manufacturers of harVesters throughS
out the country have secured shop
rights under these patents. Among
these were the old Minneapolis bar
yester works and the firm of George w.
ESterly u Sons, afterwards merged into
the Esteriy Harvesting Machine Com
pany of Whitewater, Wis. The license
to the Minneapolis Harvester works is
exclusive for the state of Minnesota;
that Esterly & Son was shop right
and older in date than that to the Min
neapolis company. When the Minne-
apOIis company was changed to the
Walter A. Wood Harvester company
ana moved to st. Paul the Minneapolis
people got the Esterlys to come to
Minneapolis and organize the Esterly
company as rival to engage in manu-
featuring AppIeby machines. Both
cOmpaniesnare we'll under way, sharply
competing for the same field. The
Wood company, which now owns the
Appteby patents for this state. claims
that the old Esteriy license was for
feited years ago, and even were it still
i'll force that no one but the ESteTly5
ecu Id work under it.
1t is to be presumed that the Mime
apols-EsterIy company will. however,
claim that the old Esterly liceuse is
still in force and that they have right
TO operate under it. The case promises
to become celebrated, because OF the
Intricate and important questions OF
patent law involved, and the immense
moneyed interests at stake.
While it would seem to be a matter Of
life or death tor the Minneapolis COM
pany, it is a question for the Wood COM
pany merely whether it hold monopoly
of the manufacture in Minnesota, or
share the field with competitor. JOnn
r. Bennett. of New York city, and T.
ID. Mervin. of ST. Paul. appear as tho
attorneys for the Wood company.

FERGUS FALLS. July 1S.-Judge BaX-
ter has rendered his decision in the case
OF Edwin a. vs.. Pauline HoIbrook. re-
fusing to grant the divorce asked for.
At the last general term of the district
court this case was the most sensational
one on the calendar. Dr.. HOlbrook
asked Tor a divorce, alleging that his
wife had been criminally intimate with
DR.. L. L. Miller, Of Pelican Rapids.
The case was fought bitterly, and the
testimony on both sides was of a char
acter unfit for publication. Defendant

to the complaint set up a c0unter-claim.

the ground of cruel treatment The
single question which the jury was
called upon to answer was: WAS Mrs.
Holbrook guilty Of adultery with E. L.
Miller?" Their verdict was NO."
which settled the question so far as
the divorce asked for by Dr.. Hol-
brook was concerned. Then came the
hearing on the cOunter-claim made by
Mrs. Holbrook, which has been in prog
Tess before Judge Baxter IN chambers
during the past week. If this had been
sustained Mrs. Holbrook would have
obtained the divorce instead OF her hus-
band. and would have obtained alimony
and the custody of her child. The tes-
timony, however, failed to convince the
court that DR.. Holbrook had been cruel
to his wife, and he finds accordingly.

VERDICT OF GUILTY.
PROMINENT MEN INDICTED IN THE
FALR FIRE CALAMITY.
HELD TO THE GRAND JURY.
Director Burnham, Fire Marshal
Murphy, Skinner and McDon-

Guilty Of Criminal Neglect
No Arrests Made.

NJ AEfGSLS
CHICAGO, July 1S.-The coroner's jury
investigating the worlds fair cold stor-
age calamity reached a verdict this
evening. The jury held to the grand
jury the following persons: D. II.
Burnham, director of works at the
worlds fair; Fire Marshal Edward
Murphy, of the worlds fair fire depart
ment; j. B. Skinner, president, of the
Hercules Iron company; Chalres A.
Mcdonald. secretary and treasurer of
the Hercules lion company.
The Jury reached its conclusion much
more quickly than the time 1t was
out would indicate. as there we're
sixteen deaths and each represented
separate case, though the finding was
made as to the whole. A separate docu-
ment signed by the jurors represented
the verdict in each case. The verdict
was the same in all the cases, and read
as follows:
I'VE, the jury, find that the deceased
came to his death from injuries and
burns received at a fire of the cold stOr-
age building at the worlds fair grounds
July 10. 1898, and we, the jury, find
from the evidence that Charles A. Nc
Donald, John P. Skinner, D. Il. Burn
ham and Edward W. Murphy be held to
the grand jury for criminal negligence,
and there held until discharged by due
course of law"
Fire Marshal Murphy was apparently
very much affected by the result Of the
investigation.
Il did not expect it," he said. II
think it unjust and uncalled for. l was
neither negligent nor was l guilty at
that fire."
President John p. Skinner, of the
Hercules Iron works, saiG the verdict
was ambiguous.
The fire department and ourselves
cannot both be guilty in this case. 1t
must be one or the other. Our cOnclu-
sions were never the same after the
alarm was turned in.
Phere was no order of arrest made
following the verdict. All four were
allowed to remain at liberty on per-
sonaI recoguIzance. They will be asked
to furnish bonds tomorrow morning,
however. The inquest has continued
through several days, the evidence on
which Director of Works Burnham was
held to the grand jury being that he
was aware or the faulty construction of
the building, and still permitted it to be
erected within the exposition grounds.
Skinner and Mcdonald are held because
,l,r-
because evidence was given alleging
that he did not fully Investigate the fire
before sending the men into the fatal
tower. Murphy himself swore that the
men were already i'll the tower when he

Sixty Thousand Seaiskins on One

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A dispatch
reporting the arrival OF a ship at Val
paraiso with a cargo Of 10000 sealskIns
taken at an unknown point in the Ant
arctic ocean was shown Prof. q. Brown
good, the weII-known author and
expert at the Smithsonian institution,
with a query for his views on the sub
iect. He replied: lit is Tot at all i'm
probable that such a catch has been made
in that region. Fur seals occur on both
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South
America about it's southern extremity
and OH all the outlying Islands, includ-
ing not only the Falklands. the South
Shetland and South Georgian. but other
small islands to the eastward. They
have been found. in fact at all the
islands making up the chain Of pelagic
islets stretching somewhat interrupt
edIy from Cape Horn and the
Falkland islands eastward to Aus
traiia and New Zealand. including these
south OF the Cape OF Good Hope, SO
famous in the annals of the seal fishery.
The rookeries in that part of the world
have, however, been practically aban-
doned for some years, for the reason
that owing to Great Britain's failure to
protect the seals there they became al
most extinct. and did not pay for the
time and trouble III hunting them. 1t
NAV be that these years of compara-
tive safety have resulted in the restora-
ton of the seal life to its former extent.
If it is so, l wonder if Great Britain will
