Up Ominously in the Mare

VALLEJO. Aug. 22.-The court of in
duiry Instituted yesterday at Mare Island
Navy-yard for the purpose of inouiring
into the charges and counter charges pre-
ferred by Major Henry A. Bartlett, COM
mandant OF the marine barracks at Mare
Island. and Captain Henry Clay Corcho-
ran, assem- bled at the naval courtroom in
the Navy-ysrd Administration building at
noon to-day, and proceeded at once to take
stimony in the case.
The first witness called was Corporal
Blrdsall of the United States Marine
Corps. who was an auditor TO the origin Of
the difficulty which gave rise to the clash
ing of authority between Major Bartlett
and Captain CorchoraD, who was serving
as officer Of the day on the night of July q
last This witness testified to the effect
that McKesg, who is employed by Mrs. r.
NJ. Cptts to administer over the canteen at
the marine barracks. had some words with
Sergeant Dieiz, who was sergeant of the
barracks guard. The witness told the
court Of the language used by McKeag.
giving his testimony with accuracy and
explicitness.
Corporal Birdsall occupied the stand the
entire afternoon. At 3 o'clock the court
adjourned until noon tomorrow, when
Captain Corchoran will place Sergeant
DietZ on the stand.
This case promises 10 be bitterly con-
tested on both sides. and from the present
indications it would appear that Captain
COrehoraD has the advantage. The bar
racks barroom, or canteen, will figure in
the evidence. and the recent petition of
more than 90 per cent of the enlisted men
at the barracks for its abolition will prob
ably be strengthened thereby. The petit
ton referred to was sent to the Navy De-
partment some months ago. when DR.. j.
Nj. Brown was surgeon general in the
navy. and it is said that through his in
fluence. he being a relative of Mrs. Cults,
who has the caDteen privilege. the petition
was piaeonholed. The canteen privilege
is worth from $1,000 to $4,000 per year. and
the enlisted men desire that the large
profits should be used to better their own
condition. A fight will be made by Major
Bartletts side to keep the canteen matter

An Expedition to Be Sent Into

many respects totally unknown country

suits from this expedition.
The exposition will be composed of Pro-

aud other geological specimens. as well
as paw special attention 10 the practical
agricultural and horticultural possibilities
OF the field explored, and Mr.. and Mrs.

attention to botany and collection OF the
flora OF the country.

prepared very large outfit, no less than
thirteen big boxes of material oeing in
